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

handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-
free devices as an alternative is allowed.
8
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.

Synchronizing Information
4.1 About Synchronization
4.2 Selecting Applications to Synchronize
84 Synchronizing Information
4.1 About Synchronization
Google applications on your phone, such as Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts, give you
access to the same personal information (e-mails, events, and contacts) that you
add, view, and edit on your computer using Gmail or Google Calendar.
This means that when you add, change, or delete any information in any of these
applications on the web, the updated information also appears on your phone, and
vice versa. This keeps your personal information intact, so if you lose your phone,
your personal information can and will appear as before, on a replacement phone.
This information mirroring is made possible through over the air data
synchronization or data syncing. You’ll know that your data is being synchronized
when you see the data synchronization icon ( ) in the status bar.
4.2 Selecting Applications to Synchronize
Sending large amounts of data back and forth over the air can take time and
require considerable bandwidth. You can control data synchronization by selecting
which applications to sync with those on the web.
To select which application to synchronize
Press HOME, then press MENU.

When cleared, information will not be automatically synchronized.
Tip When Auto-sync is disabled, you can synchronize individual applications
manually by selecting their respective check boxes on this screen. You can also
navigate to an application using the TRACKBALL, press MENU, then touch Sync
now.
Gmail. Clear the check box to exclude Gmail from automatic
synchronization, or select to begin synchronization of Gmail e-mails on
your phone and on the web. You can also control synchronization by
selecting which Gmail labels you want to synchronize. See “To select labels

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 harm-ful 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.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made
to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corporation
may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Body-worn operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1.5cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a
1.5cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone,

Appendix 205
including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided.
Safety Precautions for Radio Frequency 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
Radio Frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location compliance requirements
with Bluetooth and WLAN.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your phone 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 Radio Frequency
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-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
•
•
•
•
•
206 Appendix
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
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to
the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your phone has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use
of unauthorised or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage your
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 Radio
Frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards;
always use your phone 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 phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when
your phone is IN USE optimises 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
•
Appendix 207
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.

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 your phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when your phone is turned on.
Should not carry your phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your 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 wireless service provider, or call
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
208 Appendix
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
phone to determine if they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency
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 Radio Frequency energy.
WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered
into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in
the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and
in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such
wastes so as to reduce disposal.
The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its box indicates that this
product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You
are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating
over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated
collection and proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment
at the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources. Moreover,
proper recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of
human health and environment. For more information about electronic and electrical
waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local
city centre, household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the
equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.
