Safety 5

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.

•

6 Safety

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.

2.9 Using the HTC Touch Pro2 as a GSM Phone

Your wireless phone is set to CDMA mode by default. If you install a SIM card, the phone automatically switches to Global mode, which enables you to use your phone globally on GSM networks while outside of the United States.

Note SIM cards must be purchased from a carrier in the country you wish to use the phone and are not sold or supported

by U.S. Cellular.

GSM international usage

Your HTC Touch Pro2 can operate in a number of countries on both CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global Systems for Mobile) networks. Use your phone in GSM/UMTS only or Global mode while in countries serviced by GSM networks. You may want to use GSM/UMTS only mode when you want to prevent the phone from using CDMA roaming networks and to access GSM/UMTS services. See “GSM Settings” for more information on GSM/UMTS services. If you want to enable the phone to select the network that is most accessible for your locale, select Global.

Using the GSM SIM card

To use your phone for international roaming you must first install a GSM SIM card obtained from a carrier in the country for which you would like to use the phone.

To install the SIM card

Remove the back cover. See Chapter 1 for details.

Remove the battery if it is installed. See Chapter 1 for details.

Locate the SIM card slot, then insert the SIM card with its gold contacts facing down and its cut-off corner facing out the card slot.

Slide the SIM card completely into the slot.

Tip Any contacts on the SIM card are automatically

added to Contacts.

Working With Company Email and Meeting Appointments

7.1 Synchronizing with the Exchange Server

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

Setting up an Exchange Server connection

Before you can sync or access information on the Exchange Server, you need to set up an Exchange Server connection on your phone. 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 phone.

Note You can set up an Outlook email account that syncs with the Exchange Server from the Mail tab using Mail Setup.

See “Mail” in Chapter 3 for details.

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

Tap Start > E-mail > Setup E-mail.

Enter the E-mail address and Password for the email 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, then tap

Settings.

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

Tap Finish.

Notes • If you synchronized email messages with your computer before, open ActiveSync on your phone, 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 phone, and then tap Menu > Configure Server.

Starting synchronization

Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your phone has been set up with a Wi-Fi or data connection to the Internet so that you can sync over the air. For more information about connections, see Chapter 8.

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

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

Note If you connect your phone 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 email messages and other information to your phone.

7.2 Working With Company Email Messages

Your phone gives you instant access to your company email messages and lets you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote email search, and email flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your email 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 email feature) enables you to receive new email messages on your phone 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 phone 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 phone.

Note When Direct Push is off, you need to manually retrieve your email messages.

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

Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your phone 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 Communications.

On the Comm Manager screen, tap 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.

Scheduled synchronization

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

In ActiveSync on your phone, 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 email 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 email immediately without the need for you to perform a full Send/ Receive action. This limits the download to just the email message that you want and helps save data cost.

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

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

Open an email message.

By default, only the first few words of the message are shown. To download the whole email, fingerscroll to the end of the message, then tap Get the rest of this message.

Wait for the remainder of the message body to download.

Notes • For information about changing email sync options such as setting the download size for email, see "Customizing

email settings" in Chapter 6.

• When you receive an email that contains a link to a document such as a PDF or Microsoft Office document located on SharePoint or an internal file server, you can tap the link to view the document on your phone. You can view the document only if you have a Microsoft Outlook account that syncs with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or later. Exchange Server must also be set up to allow access to SharePoint document libraries or internal file servers.

Requirement Flags are enabled only if email messages are synchronized with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or later. Flags

are disabled or hidden if email messages are synchronized with earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange Server.

When creating a meeting request and selecting required and optional attendees in Calendar, tap Company Directory.

Enter a partial or full contact name and tap Search. In the search results list, tap a contact to select it.

You can save a contact from the Company Directory to your phone by selecting the contact, and then tapping Menu > Save to Contacts.

Note You can search for the following information as long as that information is included in the Company Directory: First

name, Last name, E-mail name, Display name, E-mail address, or Office location.

When viewing a received Outlook email message

8.1 Ways of Connecting to the Internet

Your phone’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your corporate network through Wi-Fi, dial-up, or a data connection—1xRTT/EVDO or GPRS/3G (GSM/UMTS only). You can also add and set up a VPN or proxy connection.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters (300 feet). To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.

Note The availability and range of your phone’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects

through which the signal passes.

To turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network

Tap Start > Settings, and then tap Communications. Tap Wi-Fi. Detected wireless networks are displayed on the screen. Tap the desired Wi-Fi network.

If you selected an open (unsecured) network, you are automatically connected to the network.

If you selected a secured network, enter the security key and then tap Done. You are then connected to the network.

Tap Back to return to the Communications screen.

Next time you use your phone to detect Wi-Fi networks, you will not be prompted to enter the network key of the previously accessed Wi-Fi network (unless you perform a hard reset which will erase custom settings on your phone).

Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a username and password for certain closed wireless networks.

• To turn off Wi-Fi, on the Communications screen, tap the OFF/ON slider at the right side of the Wi-Fi item.

To add a wireless network

Tap Start > Settings > All Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi and then tap the Wireless Networks button. The Configure Wireless Networks screen then opens. Tap Menu > Add New and enter the details for connecting to the wireless network.

To set your phone to turn off Wi-Fi automatically

Wi-Fi quickly consumes battery power. Manually turn off Wi-Fi on the Communications screen when not in use. You can also set your phone to automatically turn off Wi-Fi after a specified timeout period.

Tap Start > Settings > All Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi and then tap the Wireless Networks button. On the Configure Wireless Networks screen, tap Menu > Advanced. Select the timeout period for automatically turning off Wi-Fi when your phone is not connected to any

wireless network.

Dial-up

Your phone’s networking capability allows you to access the Internet through the dial-up connection. Settings for connecting to the U.S. Cellular 1xRTT/EVDO network are already preconfigured on your phone, and your phone is ready to connect to the Internet. Please do not change these settings as this may cause your data connection to stop working.

If you need to use another dial-up connection from an ISP (Internet Service Provider), you can manually add it to your phone. To establish a dial-up connection on your phone, you need the same settings that you normally use when you dial up from your computer. This includes the ISP server phone number, your user name and password.

Start > Settings > All Settings > Connections.

Tap Connections.

Under My ISP

, tap Add a new modem connection.

On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the connection and select Cellular Line in the Select a modem list, then tap Next.

Enter the ISP server phone number, then tap Next.

Enter your user name, password, and any other information required by your ISP, then tap Finish.

Wireless data connection

To connect to the Internet, you can use your phone’s 1xRTT/EVDO connection. You can also use GPRS/3G to connect to the Internet while roaming internationally. See “GPRS/3G (GSM/UMTS only)” for details.

GPRS/3G (GSM/UMTS only)

If you are going to roam internationally, you can install a GSM SIM card and use GPRS/3G (or EDGE, if available) to connect to the Internet and to send and receive email on your phone. SIM cards must be purchased from a carrier in the country you wish to use the phone and are not sold or supported by U.S. Cellular. See Chapter 2 for more information on installing a SIM card.

After you install the SIM card, your phone will be ready to use GPRS/3G services. Do not change the connection settings as this may cause the GPRS/3G services to stop working.

The following icons may appear in the title bar when the phone is in Global or GSM mode:

GPRS available

EDGE available

HSPA available

WCDMA/UMTS available
