•

Handle battery packs carefully 

•

This product contains a Li-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the 
battery pack is handled improperly. Do not attempt to open or service the 
battery pack. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts or

local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.

Note  This product should be operated only with the following designated Battery Pack:

HTC, Model RHOD160

Take extra precautions:

•

Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it may 

•

cause a short circuit.

Keep metal objects away so they don’t come in contact with the battery or 

•

its connectors as it may lead to short circuit during operation.

The phone should be only connected to products that bear the USB-IF 

•

logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or 

•

the one that has any rust on its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odor.

Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to 

•

avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the 
battery is swallowed.

Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with 

•

the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified 
battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other 
hazard.

Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with 

•

the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified 
battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, 

•

especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a 
service center for inspection.

If the battery leaks:

•

Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing. 

•

If already in contact, flush the affected area immediately with clean 
water and seek medical advice.

  7

Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If this 

•

occurs, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek 
medical advice.

Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as 

•

there is a danger of ignition or explosion.

Safety Precautions for Direct Sunlight

Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. 
Do not leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the 
temperature may exceed 140°F (60°C), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, 
or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for 
extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or 
pose a risk to the vehicle.

Prevention of Hearing Loss

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or 

headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of 
time.

Road Safety

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with 
handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using 
hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.

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.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations are posted. 
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive 
to external RF energy.

Nonionizing Radiation

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its 
normal-use position to 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.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas 
may impair call quality and damage the 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 RF energy 
is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device 
only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may impair call 
quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed.

  9

10 

Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the 
antenna performance and the battery life.

1.5 Getting Around Your Phone

There are different ways to navigate around the Home screen, menus and 
application screens on your phone.

Tap

When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items onscreen such as 
application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your 
finger.

Press and hold

To open the available options for an item (e.g. contact or link in a web page), simply 
press and hold the item.

Swipe or slide

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across 
the screen.

Phone Basics  33

Drag

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.

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 through the contacts or message list.

Rotate

For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from 
portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can 
turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard. Refer to Chapter 4 for more 
details.

Note  The Orientation check box in HOME (   ) > MENU > Settings > Sound & display 

needs to be selected for the screen orientation to automatically change.

Pinch

For some applications, like Albums or Browser, you can “pinch” the screen using 
2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or zoom out when 
viewing a picture or a webpage.

Using the Trackball

Roll or press the TRACKBALL to select or highlight items on the screen. The
