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

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 60°C (140°F), 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.
NOTE: For France, Earphone (listed below) for this device have been tested to comply  with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid down in the applicable NF EN 50332­1:2000 and/or NF EN 50332-2:2003 standards as required by French Article L. 5232-1.
  Earphone, manufactured by HTC, Model HS G235.
SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation  system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on  board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this  device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to  Airplane Mode.
ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where  blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such  as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or  chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or  particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such  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
Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with  handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands­free 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.
  9
10 
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 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.
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.
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal­use 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. Avoiding contact with the  antenna area when the phone is IN USE  optimizes the antenna performance and  the battery life.
General Precautions
• Avoid applying excessive pressure to the device 
Do not apply excessive pressure on the screen and the device to prevent  damaging them and remove the device from your pants’ pocket before sitting  down. It is also recommended that you store the device in a protective case  and only use your finger when interacting with the touch screen. Cracked  display screens due to improper handling are not covered by the warranty.
• Device getting warm after prolonged use
When using your device for prolonged periods of time, such as when you’re  talking on the phone, charging the battery or browsing the web, the device  may become warm. In most cases, this condition is normal and therefore  should not be interpreted as a problem with the device.
• Heed service markings
Except as explained elsewhere in the Operating or Service documentation, do  not service any product yourself. Service needed on components inside the  device should be done by an authorized service technician or provider.
