Road safety Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accide nt. Using a pho ne while driving (even with a hands free kit) causes distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving. Safety precautions for RF exposure  Avoid using your ph one near metal structures (for exam ple, the steel frame of a building).  Avoid using your ph one near strong electrom agnetic sources, such as microw ave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.  Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or acces sories that do not contain any metal.  Use of non-original manufacturer-approved acces sories may violate your local RF ex posure guideline s 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 person al me dical device, co nsult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are ad equately shielded from extern al 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 thes e areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF en ergy. Hearing aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some he aring aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause har mful interference to radio or TV reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following m easures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and rec eiver.  Connect the eq uipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help. Modifications The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by HTC Corporation m ay void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement  This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location complianc e requirements with Bluetooth and WLA N. This tran smitter must not be co-locate d or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Safety and regulatory guide 11  This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environ m ent. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy Your wireless device has an internal antenna that emits radio freq uency (RF) energy. Human exposure to RF energy has been and continues to be the subject of scientific research. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), “the weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell phones with any health problem s.” You can acc ess this FDA publication and other information on huma n exposure to RF energy at: U.S. Food an d Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/ucm116282.htm Federal Com munications Co mmission: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/radio-frequency-safety NIH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences: http://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/cellphones/ World Health Orga nization: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/ IEEE Committee on Man and Radiation: http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/embs/comar/ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection: http://www.icnirp.de/ Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing Your device has been designed to comply with applicable limits for RF exposure. These limits use a unit of measurement called Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, which refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has establish ed a SAR limit for mobile phones of 1.6 W/kg, which applies in the United States and other countries that follow the FCC’s SAR limit. This limit is base d upon standards dev eloped by expert non-government organizations, such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection an d Measure m ents (NCRP), and input from other federal agen cies such as the FDA and EPA. In countries that follow the Council of the European Union, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg. SAR testing is conducted with the device placed in common operating positions (e.g., held against the head, worn on the body) and transmitting at its highest certified power level in eac h frequency band of op eration. Because the device is transmitting at its high est certified power level, SAR tests capture a worst-case operating scenario and therefore often do not reflect the amount of RF exposure during normal, everyday use. More information on SAR testing is available on the FCC’s website at
12 Safety and regulatory guide http://www.fcc.gov/guides/wireless-devices-and-health-concerns. HTC Corp. submitted SAR test results demonstrating compliance with the FCC’s SAR limit for wireless devices as part of the FCC’s equipment certification proc ess for this de vice. These results can be accessed via the FCC’s equipm ent authorization database (found at http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/) by searching for the device’s FCC ID: NM80PKV100.This device’s maximum SAR values as reported to the FCC are:
Safety and regulatory guide 13 SAR information Head: 0.453 W/kg@10g (CE), 0.724 W/kg@1g (FC C) Body: 0.237 W/kg@ 10g (CE), 0.367 W/kg @ 1g (FCC) Body-worn O peration This device was tested for typical bo dy-worn operations. A minimum separation distance must be m aintained b etween the us er’s body and the handset, including the antenna:  1.5 cm to com ply with the RF exposure req uirements in Europe  1 cm to comply with the RF expos ure requirements in the U.S. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not co mply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approv ed antenn a. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a dam aged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may res ult. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna. Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety information Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom mends that a minimum se paration of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacem aker. These reco mmendations are consistent with the independent research by and recom mendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:  Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.  Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  Should use the ear opposite the pacem aker to minimize the potential for interference. If you hav e any reason to sus pect that interference is taking place, turn the phone O FF immediately.
