1.3 Battery Information
Your device comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. Use only
manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories with your
device. Battery performance depends on many factors, including
network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the
environment in which you operate your device, the features and
settings you select and use, items attached to your device’s connecting
ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
Battery life estimates (approximations):
Standby time: Up to 250 hours.
Talk time: Up to 3.5 hours.
Media playback time: Up to 8 hours for WMV (video); up to 12
hours for WMA (audio).
Warning: To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble,
crush, or puncture the battery; short external contacts; heat
above 60oC (140oF); or dispose of in fire or water. Replace
only with manufacturer-specified batteries. Recycle or
dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations.
Installing and Charging the Battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you start
using your device, you need to install and charge the battery.

is less than four hours. You can charge the battery in one of
the following ways:
Connect your device directly to an electrical outlet
using the AC phone charger.
Plug the sync cable to the USB port on your PC and to
the sync connector on your device.

10.3 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a
distance of about 33 feet without requiring a physical connection. You
can even send information to a device in a different room, as long as it
is within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
To send information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and
contact cards between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
To synchronize information between your device and computer
via Bluetooth.
To use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-
enabled hands-free device such as a car kit) with your device for
hands-free phone conversations.
To use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device
or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the
services available on that device.
To create a connection between your device and another
Bluetooth-enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.
Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other
Bluetooth-enabled devices, but cannot be detected by those
devices.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither
send nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might
want to turn Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve
battery power, or in situations where using a wireless device
is prohibited, such as onboard an aircraft and in hospitals.
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-
enabled devices can detect your device.
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then

Bluetooth Partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between
your device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to
exchange information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership
between two devices involves entering the same Bluetooth
passcode on both devices.
Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time
process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize
the partnership and exchange information without entering a
passcode again. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and in visible
mode on the two devices.
To create a Bluetooth partnership:
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >
Bluetooth.
2. On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device
will search for other Bluetooth devices and display
them in the box.
3. Tap a device name in the box.
4. Tap Next.

About Licenses and Protected Files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from
the Internet, CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses
that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared.
Licenses are created and managed by using digital rights
management (DRM), which is the technology for securing content
and managing its access rights. Some licenses may prevent you
from playing files that have been copied to your device. Files that
have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device,
use the desktop player to synchronize the file to your device
(instead of dragging the file from a folder on your PC to a folder
on your device, for example). This will ensure that the license is
copied along with the protected file. For more information about
synchronizing files to your device and other mobile devices, see
desktop player Help.
You can view the protection status for a file by checking its
file properties (tapping Menu > Properties).
Note:
118 Section 11: Experiencing Multimedia

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for
Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless
phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to
require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent
of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless
phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible
with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are
rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way
to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Touch by HTC™ is rated
M3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices
with your Touch by HTC™.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings
mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise.
The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together.
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered
for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use.
Appendix 131
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the
wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal
M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while
using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage”
in this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal
operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark
is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are
recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions
(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules.
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.
DO NOT disassemble the device or its accessories. If service or repair is
required, return unit to an authorized UT Starcom cellular service center. If
the unit is disassembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.
Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to get into the
inside of your device.
Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal display.
Contact with this liquid could cause a skin rash. If the crystal display liquid
should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it immediately
with clean water.
In the event that the device emits an unusual odor or sound or generates
smoke, immediately disconnect the AC phone charger from the power
outlet, and then remove the battery.
Antenna Safety
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage
your device, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please contact your
local dealer for replacement antenna.
Do not use the device with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact
your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Battery Safety
Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please
contact customer service for assistance should you need a replacement
battery.
DOs
Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.
Only use the battery for its original purpose.
Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F
(35°C).
If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the
recommended range, give it time to warm up or cool down before
using.
Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to
four days to completely drain.
Appendix 143
Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases
after fully charging.
Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
DON’Ts
Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with
no serviceable parts.
Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g.,
by carrying it in your pocket or purse with other metallic objects
such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and critically
damage the battery.
Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could
significantly reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Don’t dispose of the battery into a fire.
Lithium-Ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable
battery, please request the repair center to recycle the battery in accordance
with RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) standards. When
disposing of the battery by yourself, please call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for
proper disposal tips.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid
when in contact with the eyes or skin, could cause injury to the skin or
eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the eyes
thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In
the event the liquid comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it
away immediately with clean water.
AC Phone Charger Precautions
Your device should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of
power source required, consult your authorized service provider or local
power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions that are included with the
product.
The AC phone charger for this unit requires the use of a standard 120 V AC
power source for device operation.
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC phone charger. Never use an
AC phone charger if it has a damaged or worn power cord or plug. Always
contact a Sprint-authorized service center, if repair or replacement is
required.
144 Appendix
Never alter the AC cord or plug on an AC phone charger. If the plug will not
fit into the available outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Never allow any liquids or water to spill on an AC phone charger when it is
connected to an AC power source.
Always use the supplied AC phone charger to avoid any risk of bodily injury
or damage to your cellular phone or battery.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the AC phone charger with wet
hands. Always unplug the AC phone charger from the power source before
attempting any cleaning. Always use a soft cloth dampened with water to
clean the equipment, after it has been unplugged.
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold
with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
Always disconnect the AC phone charger from the power source when it is
not in use.
