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.

98 Navigating on the Road
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 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.
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.

About the screens and menus
Windows Media® Player Mobile has three primary screens:
Playback screen. The screen that displays the playback controls (such as Play, Pause, Next, Previous,
and Volume) and the video window. You can change the appearance of this screen by choosing a
different skin.
Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now Playing playlist. This special playlist indicates the
current file being played and any files that are “queued up” to play next.
Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly find your audio files, video files, and playlists. It contains
categories such as My Music, My Videos, My TV, and My Playlists.
At the bottom of each screen, you can open a Menu. The commands on this menu vary, depending on which
screen you are viewing. For more information about the commands in these menus, see Help on your device.

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
•
•
•
•
150 Appendix
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 rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s
telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
RHOD400 complies with the FCC’s requirements for hearing aid compatibility when using the CDMA air
interface. The M rating in this mode is M4 and the T rating in this mode is T3.
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.
This methodology applies equally for T ratings. 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.
