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.

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.

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.

•

6

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.

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 375 hours

Talk time: Up to 250 minutes

Note Battery life is subject to network and phone usage.

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 do 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.

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.

•

Getting Started 21

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.

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. If the backlight

is off, removing the stylus automatically turns the backlight back

on.

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.

Navigation Control

On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the Navigation Control for directional

control. Press the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an item has

been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection.

The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger clockwise

around the Navigation Control to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out.

zooming in the GPS software.

On the Home screen’s Music tab, you can advance forward in the music you are playing by sliding clockwise

around the Navigation Control. To move backward in the music, slide counterclockwise. See “Music” in Chapter

3 for details.

Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments 71

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 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.

Tip To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap the 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.

higher.

1. On the TouchFLO 3D Home screen, slide to the Mail tab, select your Outlook account, and then tap

Inbox.

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 Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Mode tab.

2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices check boxes.

3. Tap OK. The Title bar will show to indicate that the device is in Visible mode.

To turn off Bluetooth visibility after a certain period of time

You can automatically turn off Bluetooth visibility after a specified period of time.

1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Timeout

tab.

2. In Turn off Visible mode, select the time before your device’s Bluetooth visibility turns off. Tap OK.

9.2 Bluetooth Partnerships

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 Menu > Bluetooth Devices > Devices tab.

2. Tap Add new device. Your device displays the names of other Bluetooth devices within range.

3. Tap the device name in the box, then tap Next.

4. Specify a passcode to establish a secure connection. The passcode can be 1 up to 16 characters.

5. Tap Next.

6. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party needs to enter the same

passcode that you specified.

7. The name of the paired device is then displayed. You may edit and enter a new name for that device.

8. Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device, then tap Finish.

Note Creating a Bluetooth partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once 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 Finish. 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.

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.

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.

10.2 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 data connection. 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.

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.

Autodownload when data expires. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically updated onto your

device when the data has expired.

Autodownload 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.

follows:

When you enter a long distance phone number that starts with “+1”, the “+” will be removed and the

rest of the number will be dialed. For example, if you entered +1 416 123 4567, the number to be

dialed will be 14161234567.

When you enter an international phone number that starts with a “+” followed by a digit other

than 1, the “+” will be replaced with the United States international dialing code, which is already

set by default. For example, if you entered +58 212 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be

011582121234567.

4. To place calls to the United States from another country, select Disable and change the International

dialing code to the one used by the country where you are in.

150 Appendix

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices

On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-

309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act)

to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure

reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.

While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users

may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to

this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device

users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones

that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss.

If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone

successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal

needs.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to

hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. RAPH500 is rated

M3.

Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your RAPH500.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may

help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference

noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered

acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use.

In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level

rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage”

while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a

signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.

The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous

with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries

Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and

measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used

with the HTC Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other acccessoies may

not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Appendix 151

Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to

exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications

Commission of the U.S. Government. 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 both U.S. and 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 CDMA phone employs a unit of measurement known as the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*.

This phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that

contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. The FCC has granted

an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance

with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be

found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after

searching on FCC ID: NM8RAPH500. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found

on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web-site as http://www.phonefacts.net.

Normal condition only 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 of non-HTC Corporation approved accessories may

violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

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.

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.

This section provides more safety information in addition to the information at the beginning of the

user manual.

When Driving

Do Not Use The PC Functions Of Your Pocket PC While Driving Or Walking

Never use the personal computer functions of your device while driving an automobile or any other moving

vehicle. Always pull out of traffic and come to a stop in a legally permissible and safe location before using

your device. Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury in a traffic accident.

When driving:

Always secure your device in its leather pouch.

Never place your device on the passenger seat or anyplace else in the car where it can become a

projectile during a collision or stop.

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable

wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Never store or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment of your

automobile as the device or any of its accessories, as possible sparking in the device could cause ignition or

explosion.

Never use your device while walking. Usage while walking could result in bodily injury caused by inattention

to automobile traffic or other pedestrian hazards.

Using The Phone Function Of Your Pocket PC While Driving Is Extremely Dangerous

Talking on or using your device while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some states. Remember,

safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the areas where you drive. Always

obey them.

If you must use the phone function while driving, please:

Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.

Use hands-free operation and/or one-touch, speed dialing, and auto answer modes.

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.

WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious personal injury and possible property damage.

Appendix 153

When Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices

Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives

and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment

may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device; therefore, use of your device must be

restricted in certain situations.

In addition, the computer portion of your device produces low levels of RF energy due to the generation of

digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your device has been equipped with internal shielding

to minimize stray emissions of RF energy. However, use of the computer functions of your device must be

restricted in certain situations.

PACEMAKERS

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) 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.

Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when using your device.

Doing so could result in interference with the function of the pacemaker.

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.

Note This is not necessary if the device is not held to the ear.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.

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.

For more regulatory information about hearing devices, see “FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)

Regulations for Wireless Devices”.

OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it

is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

Turn your device 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.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN VEHICLES

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.

Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the

manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

POSTED FACILITIES

Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.

•

154 Appendix

Turn Off Your Device Before Flying

AIRCRAFT

FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In

addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic

devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any

possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.

Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an

authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of

the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference

with airborne electronic equipment.

Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas

BLASTING AREAS

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted

“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and

instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling

areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using

liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such

as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your

vehicle’s engine.

General Safety

Your pocket PC is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating, read all instructions and cautionary

markings on the product, battery and adapter/charger.

Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage due to

battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.

DO NOT use or store this equipment in a place where it will be exposed to high temperatures, such as near an

open flame or heat-emitting equipment.

DO NOT drop your device or subject it to severe shock. When not using, lay down the unit to avoid possible

damage due to instability.

DO NOT expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages.

DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.

DO NOT disassemble the device or its accessories. If service or repair is required, return unit to an authorized

cellular service center. If the unit is disassembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.

Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to get into the inside of your device.

Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal display. Contact with this liquid could

cause a skin rash. If the crystal display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it

immediately with clean water.

In the event that the device emits an unusual odor or sound or generates smoke, immediately disconnect the

AC adapter from the power outlet, then detach the battery.

Appendix 155

Antenna Safety

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could impair call quality, damage your device, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please

contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.

Do not use the device 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.

Battery Safety

Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for

assistance should you need a replacement battery.

DOs

Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.

Only use the battery for its original purpose.

Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).

If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm

up or cool down before using.

Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain.

Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.

Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.

Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

DON’Ts

Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.

Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse

with other metallic objects such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and critically damage

the battery.

Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could significantly reduce the capacity and

lifetime of the battery.

Don’t dispose of the battery into a fire.

Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable battery, please request the repair center

to recycle the battery in accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the battery by yourself, please

call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.

Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or

skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the

eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into

contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water.
