176 Using GPS
11.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS
• 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.
• 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. For better signal reception, connect your device to an external
GPS antenna.
External GPS antenna connector
• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radardetecting 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.
Using GPS 177
• 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.
11.2 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 ActiveSync or GPRS. This significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position.
178 Using GPS
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.

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
The wireless 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.
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.
Normal conditions only 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.
Appendix 241
This phone has been tested and meets the CE RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset at a minimum distance of 1.5cm from the body.
SAR Information
0.354 W/kg@10g (Body)
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.

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 center, household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.
