If this fails, you have to enter the passcode delivered with your headset
manually.
Note If the Bluetooth stereo headset becomes disconnected, turn the headset on
and repeat step 1 to 2 above. Tap and hold the name of the Bluetooth stereo
headset and tap Set as Wireless Stereo.

10.2 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.
Navigating on the Road 167
•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.
10.3 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 GPRS/3G. This significantly speeds up the time for
determining your GPS position.
To open QuickGPS
Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
168 Navigating on the Road
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.
