button again or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.
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 screens 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.
Sliding your finger 
counterclockwise
Sliding your finger clockwise
22  Getting Started
The following programs allow you to use the Navigation Control for zooming: 
AlbumOpera Mobile
CameraWord Mobile and Excel Mobile
Tip  If you purchase and install GPS navigation software on your device, you can also use the Navigation Control for 
zooming in the GPS software.
On the Home screens 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.
1.6 Home Screen

8.1 Ways of Connecting to the Internet
Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your corporate network at work 
through one of the following connections:
Wi-Fi
Dial-up
Note You can also add and set up the following connections:
• VPN: A VPN connection is used to access your corporate network by using an existing Internet connection.
Proxy: A Proxy connection is used to access the Internet using an existing connection to your corporate or WAP 
network.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet (100 meters). 
To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.
Note The availability and range of your device’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects 
through which the signal passes:
To turn Wi-Fi on and off
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab.
2. On the Settings screen, tap Communications > Wi-Fi to enable/disable the wireless function.
When enabled, the On indicator is activated and available wireless networks will be detected.
To connect to a wireless network
After Wi-Fi is turned on, your device scans for available wireless networks in your area.
1. The network names of the detected wireless networks are displayed on a 
pop-up message window. Tap the desired wireless network, then tap OK.
Note When you select an open (unsecured) network, you will be    
    automatically connected to the network after tapping OK.  
    You do not need to do steps 2 and 3.

Tap The Internet if the wireless network connects your device to the 
Internet.
Tap Work if the wireless network connects your device to a private 
network.
3. Enter the key and then tap Connect.

(unless you perform a hard reset which will erase custom settings on your device).
Note  Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your device to connect to a 
Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a username and password for certain closed wireless networks.

10.1 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.
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:
1   Do not place where it will block the drivers 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 vehicles 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.
Navigating on the Road  103
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.

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 users 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.

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.

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

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.
