• Take extra precautions
• Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it may
cause a short circuit.
• Keep metal objects away so they don’t come in contact with the battery or
its connectors as it may lead to short circuit during operation.
• The phone should be only connected to products that bear the USB-IF
logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
• Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or
the one that has any rust on its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odor.
• Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to
avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the
battery is swallowed.
• If the battery leaks:
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing.
If already in contact, flush the affected area immediately with clean
water and seek medical advice.
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already
in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek
medical advice.
• Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as
there is a danger of ignition or explosion.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not
leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature
may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass
that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods
of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the
vehicle.
8
PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS
CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are
used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.
SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation
system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on
board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this
device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to
Airplane Mode.
ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such
as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling
points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
9
ROAD SAFETY
Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with
handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-
free devices as an alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of
a building).
• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do
not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
10
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-
use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance
with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within
the guidelines set forth in the
relevant standards, always use
your device only in its normal-use
position. Contact with the antenna
area may impair call quality and
cause your device to operate
at a higher power level than
needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when the phone
is IN USE optimizes the antenna
performance and the battery life.

Battery
Your device comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion or Lithium-ion polymer
battery and is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and
accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including network
configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in which you
operate your device, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached
to connecting ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
Battery life estimates (approximations):
Standby time: Up to 350 hours
Talk time: Up to 420 minutes
Note Battery life is subject to network and phone usage.
Warning! To reduce risk of fire or burns:
• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack.

34 Getting Started
1.5 Navigating Your Device
There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your
device.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface
of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called
finger gestures, you would use when interacting with your device:
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu,
programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with
your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on
the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip.
On screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item
by tapping it with your fingertip.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
The following are some instances when you would use swiping:
Flipping on the Home screen
Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music
albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D
Home Screen” in Chapter 3.
Scrolling
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain
selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly
swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll
by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
•
•
Getting Started 35
The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as
you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need
to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
Switching between Home screen tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For
more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
Advancing playback
In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab
and Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their
progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you
are playing.
For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in
Chapter 3.
For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using
Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3 for details.
Finger zooming and panning
In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when
zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.
•
•
36 Getting Started
Stylus
You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch screen. To use the
stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment at the bottom of the right panel of
your device.
The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the device. This
prevents you from accidentally losing or misplacing the stylus.
Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen,
and you tap and hold on the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the
stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping, sliding
and flicking on the screen.
On-screen navigation control
When using the Full QWERTY, Compact QWERTY, and Phone Keypad onscreen input
methods, you can touch the Navigation Control keys at the bottom of the keyboard
for directional control. Touch the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and
right on the screen.

2.2 Making Calls
To make a call, you can either dial a number or select a contact you want to call.
Make a call from the Phone screen
The Phone’s Smart Dial feature makes it quick and easy for you to place a
call. When you start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dial
automatically searches and sorts the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts,
and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed
calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list.
You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will
search for contact phone numbers and the first character of a contact name as well
as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact
name. For example, if you tap number “2” on the phone keypad, which is associated
with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will
be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”,
“Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter
another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is
associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following
names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
To call a phone number or contact
1. Press the TALK/SEND button or tap Phone on the Home screen.
2. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters by tapping the keys on
the Phone keypad. As you enter numbers or letters, the Smart Dial panel will
display matches found.

7.2 Working With Company E-mails
Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets you manage
your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail
flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mails.
Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in
your company. Check with your network administrator for the availability of these
features.
Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails
on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. Items
such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device
when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the
Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a WiMAX, Wi-Fi, or data
connection on your device.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange
Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.
Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is using
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange
ActiveSync or higher version.
To turn on Direct Push in ActiveSync
1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync and then tap Menu > Schedule.

peak times link at the bottom of the screen.
Instant download through Fetch Mail
The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need
for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the
e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

170 Bluetooth
9.1 Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with
Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about eight
meters without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can
detect your device.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth.
Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where
using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the Connections tab, tap Bluetooth > Mode tab.
3. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices
check boxes.

a message appears prompting you to disconnect the WiMAX connection. See
“Mobile WiMAX” in Chapter 8 to know how to turn WiMAX on or off.
4. Tap OK. The Title bar will show to indicate that the device is in Visible
mode.

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and
another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure
manner.
To create a Bluetooth partnership
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the Connections tab, tap Bluetooth > Devices tab.
3. Tap Add new device. Your device displays the names of other Bluetooth
devices within range.

5. Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1
up to 16 characters.
6. Tap Next.
7. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party
needs to enter the same passcode that you specified.
8. After the receiving party enters the passcode, a message box appears on your
device confirming the partnership.
Tip Tap Advanced to change the paired device name and to set the services you
want to use for the paired device. After setting the name and options, tap Save.
9. Tap Done.
172 Bluetooth

a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange
information without entering a passcode again.
To accept a Bluetooth partnership
1. Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.
2. Tap Yes when prompted to establish a partnership with the other device.
3. Enter a passcode (the same passcode that is entered on the device requesting
the partnership) to establish a secure connection. The passcode must be
between 1 and 16 characters.
4. Tap Next.
5. Tap Done. You can now exchange information with the paired device.
Tips • To rename a Bluetooth partnership, tap and hold the partnership’s name on the
Devices tab of the Bluetooth screen, then tap Edit.

such as a car kit with your device. Your device also supports A2DP (Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile) which allows you to use a Bluetooth stereo headset for hands-
free phone conversations and for listening to stereo music.
To connect a Bluetooth hands-free or stereo headset

have to enter the passcode delivered with your headset manually.
Note If the Bluetooth stereo headset becomes disconnected, turn the headset on and
repeat step 1 to 2 above. Tap and hold the name of the Bluetooth stereo headset and
tap Set as Wireless Stereo.
9.4 Beaming Information Using Bluetooth

For more information about Google Maps, go to http://www.google.com/gmm/
index.html.
10.2 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS
If you install a GPS software on your device, please follow these guidelines before
and when using your device as a GPS device.
•Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route is only
for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior.
• Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight
to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the device or
risk to the vehicle.
•When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the
device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas shown in the
following diagram:
Navigating on the Road 181
1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.
2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.
3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the
holder.
•Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages
resulting from negligent operation of the system.
• The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal
reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings,
tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s
visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.
• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting
devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal
reception.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and
maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may
affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
182 Navigating on the Road
10.3 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS
Before you start using your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS program
first to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information)
onto your device. This data is needed to determine the GPS position of your current
location.
QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from a web server, instead of from the
satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which can be via Wi-Fi,
ActiveSync or EDGE/GPRS. This significantly speeds up the time for determining
your GPS position.
To open QuickGPS
Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
To download data
Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.
On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid
time of the downloaded data. As time passes,
the remaining days and hours of validity will be
shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the
latest ephemeris data when the validity of the
data expires.
Navigating on the Road 183
Download options
To configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the available
options:
• Remind me when data expires.
Enables your device to display a reminder message when the validity of the
ephemeris data has expired.
When you see the reminder message, tap Menu to dismiss the reminder or to
set the snooze time so that you will be reminded again. Tap OK to open the
QuickGPS program and download the latest data.
• Auto download when data expires.
Allows ephemeris data to be automatically updated onto your device when
the data has expired.
• Auto download when connected to PC via ActiveSync.
Allows ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded via ActiveSync to
your device when your device is connected to your computer. Your computer
must be connected to the Internet in order to download data.
Note The ephemeris data is stored on HTC web servers. QuickGPS is preconfigured to
connect to these servers.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or TV reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Appendix 263
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to
the device that are not expressly approved by HTC Corporation may void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do
not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power
is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set
by international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report
86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
264 Appendix
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone,
causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as
well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy
is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your
device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area
unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna
area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power
level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN
USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operation can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. (Bodyworn measurements may differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). For body
worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use
only original manufacturer approved accessories. When carrying the phone while
it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory.
Appendix 265
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be
maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should
not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be
avoided.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or
result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety
information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
266 Appendix
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
