Location Based Services (LBS)

Your wireless device can determine its (and your) physical, geographical location (“Location Information”). Certain software applications are capable of accessing, collecting and using Location Information and disclosing the information to the application provider and other people. You should use caution and discretion when determining whether or not Location Information should be made available to them. To limit potential unauthorized access to your Location Information, Verizon Wireless devices are preset to “911 ONLY” which will only allow authorized emergency response personnel to locate you if you dial 9-1-1 from your wireless device.

By changing the setting on the device to “LOCATION ON” you are enabling third party access to Location Information through software, widgets or peripheral components you choose to download, add or attach to your wireless device. Verizon Wireless encourages you to check your wireless device periodically and only use software, widgets and peripheral components that are obtained from reliable sources. When you use your mobile browser or other services and applications, you authorize Verizon Wireless to collect, use and disclose your Location Information as appropriate to provide you with any location services that you enabled.

Verizon Wireless does not retain Location Information longer than necessary to provide the services to you. We will not knowingly disclose your Location Information to third parties without your consent. You should carefully review the privacy policies of application providers and third parties who you allow access to your Location Information, and you should know that significant risks can be associated with disclosing your Location Information to others.

Note For information on the Location Setting, see “CDMA Services” in Chapter 2.

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.

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

Antenna location

1.1 About Your HTC Touch Pro2

Have you ever traveled to another country or outside your network carrier service area only to find that you have to purchase or lease another cell phone? After all, when traveling, you still want to keep in touch with friends and family back home.

Your HTC Touch Pro2 Global Phone covers all the bases by incorporating a SIM slot into its CDMA architecture. Now when you travel outside the range of the Verizon CDMA coverage area or roam internationally, you can use the pre-installed GSM SIM card to access wireless services to make calls, send e-mail messages, browse the Internet and more using GSM network technology. Don’t worry—you’re connected!

Working With Company E-mail and Meeting Appointments

8.1 Synchronizing with the Exchange Server

To keep up-to-date with your company e-mail messages and meeting schedules while you’re out of the office, you can connect your device to the Internet through Wi-Fi or a data connection and synchronize with your company’s Exchange Server.

Setting up an Exchange Server connection

Before you can synchronize or access information on the Exchange Server, you need to set up an Exchange Server connection on your device. You need to get the Exchange Server name (must be Outlook Web Access server name), domain name, user name, and the password that you use at work from your network administrator and enter them on your device.

Note You can set up an Outlook e-mail account that synchronizes with the Exchange Server from the Home screen’s

Mail tab using the simplified Mail Setup. See “Mail” in Chapter 3 for details.

If you have not synchronized your device with your computer, follow these steps to set up an Exchange Server connection.

Tap Start > All Programs > E-mail > Setup E-mail > Microsoft Exchange.

Enter the E-mail address and Password for the e-mail account and select the Save password option.

Tap Next.

Clear the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet option and tap Next.

In Your e-mail provider, select Exchange server and tap Next.

Tap Next again.

Select the Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings automatically option and tap Next.

Enter the Domain name and tap Next.

In Server address, enter the Exchange Server address and tap Next.

Select the items that you want to sync with the Exchange Server.

Tips • To change synchronization settings of an information item, for example, E-mail, select the item, and then

tap Settings.

• To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap Menu > Advanced.

Tap Finish.

10.

Notes • If you synchronized e-mail messages with your computer before, open ActiveSync on your device, and then

tap Menu > Add Server Source to set up an Exchange Server connection. When prompted to select information types for synchronization, you must first clear the E-mail check box under the Windows PC item before you can select E-mail under Exchange Server.

• To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync on your device, and then tap Menu > Configure Server.

Starting synchronization

Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your device has been set up with a Wi-Fi or data connection to the Internet so that you can synchronize over the air. For more information about connections, see Chapter 9.

After you finish setting up an Exchange Server connection, your device automatically starts synchronization.

To manually start synchronization, tap Start > ActiveSync, and then tap Sync.

Note If you connect your device to your office computer via a USB or Bluetooth connection, you can use this connection

to the computer to “pass through” to the network and download Outlook e-mail messages and other information to your device.

Working With Company E-mail and Meeting Appointments 91

8.2 Working With Company E-mail Messages

Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mail messages and lets you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mail messages.

Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in your company. Check with your

network administrator for the availability of these features.

Automatic synchronization through Direct Push

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mail messages on your device as

soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. Items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a Wi-Fi or data connection on your device.

You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server before Direct Push can be enabled.

Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync or later.

To turn on Direct Push in Comm Manager

Tap Start > Settings, and then tap Wireless controls.

Tip You can also tap Start > All Programs > Comm Manager.

On the Comm Manager screen, touch the OFF/ON slider at the right side of the Microsoft Direct Push

item.

To turn on Direct Push in ActiveSync

Tap Start > ActiveSync and then tap Menu > Schedule.

Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.

Note When Direct Push is off, you need to manually retrieve your e-mail messages.

Scheduled synchronization

If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for synchronizing Outlook e-mail and information.

Tap Start > ActiveSync and then tap Menu > Schedule.

Select from the available options to set the synchronization schedule.

Tip You can select a shorter interval in the Peak times box and a longer interval in the Off-peak times box, so that

your e-mail messages are synchronized more frequently when you are working. To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap the peak times link at the bottom of the screen.

Instant download through Fetch Mail

The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

Requirement Fetch Mail works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or later.

Tap Start > All Programs > E-mail > Outlook E-mail.

Open an e-mail message.

By default, only the first few words of the message are shown. To download the whole e-mail, finger-

scroll to the end of the message, and then tap Get the rest of this message.

Wait for the remainder of the message body to download.
