available at www.sprint.com.  
Use only Sprint-approved or HTC-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a  
Sprint-approved or HTC-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat,  
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.  
WARNING

and allows you to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where Sprint has implemented  
roaming agreements.  
Your device allows both voice and data roaming if these services are included in your service plan. Contact  
Sprint to find out about roaming services and rates.  
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen  
Your device’s display screen always lets you know when you are off the Nationwide Sprint Network. Anytime  
you are roaming, the device displays the roaming icon ( ) in the title bar.  
Remember, when you are using your device off the Nationwide Sprint Network, always dial numbers using  
11 digits (1 + area code + number).  
Tip  
Roaming on Other Digital Networks  
When you are roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you  
receive when making calls on the Nationwide Sprint Network. However, you may not be able to access  
certain features, such as data services, depending on the available network.  
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an  
area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your device off and on again to reconnect to the network.

Working With Company Email and Meeting Appointments  
To keep up-to-date with your company email and meeting schedules while you’re out of the office, you can  
connect your device to the Internet through Wi-Fi or your Sprint 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 following information from your network administrator  
and enter them on your device:  
Exchange Server name (must be Outlook Web Access server name)  
Domain name  
User name and password that you use at work  
If you have not synchronized your device with your computer, follow these steps to set up an Exchange  
Server connection.  
1. From the Home screen, slide to the Mail tab.  
2. Touch New Account at the bottom-right of the screen if this is your first time to set up an account.  
Otherwise, if you have previously added other accounts on the Mail tab, touch Menu > Account > New  
Account.  
3. On the Mail Setup screen, enter your email address and password, select Exchange Email (Outlook), and  
then tap Next.  
4. Enter the domain name and server address, select the This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection  
option, if needed, and then tap Next.  
5. Clear the check boxes of the data types that you want to exclude from synchronization, and then  
tap Done.  
Your device synchronizes with the Exchange Server and downloads your Outlook email messages. If you  
chose to sync all Outlook data, your Outlook contacts, appointments, and tasks will also synchronize with  
your device.  
• If you synchronized email 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.  
Tips  
To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync on your device, and then tap Menu >  
Configure Server.  
162  
Section 3B. Web and Data Services  
         
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  
After you finish setting up an Exchange Server connection, your device automatically starts synchronization.  
To manually start synchronization:  
Tap Start > Settings and then tapSync Data.  
- or -  
Tap Start > ActiveSync and then tap Sync.  
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 email messages and other  
information to your device.  
Note  
Working With Company Email  
Your device gives you instant access to your company email 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 emails. This section shows you how to use these tools to manage your email.  
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.  
Note  
Automatic Synchronization Using Direct Push  
Direct Push technology (push email feature) enables you to receive new email 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 first before Direct  
Push can be enabled.  
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 higher version.  
Requirement  
You can turn on Direct Push in the Comm Manager or ActiveSync.  
To turn on Direct Push in Comm Manager:  
1. Tap Start > Settings > Communications.  
2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap Microsoft Direct Push’s OFF/ON switch.  
To turn on Direct Push in ActiveSync:  
1. Tap Start > ActiveSync > Menu > Schedule.  
2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.  
When Direct Push is off, you need to manually retrieve your emails.  
Note  
Section 3B. Web and Data Services  
163  
         
Scheduled Synchronization  
If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for synchronizing Outlook email  
messages and information.  
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.  
2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able to receive emails more frequently.  
(Peak times usually refer to your working hours when email volume is high).  
3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box.  
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.  
Tip  
Instant Email Download Using Fetch Mail  
The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire email message 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 to  
reduce data service charges.  
Fetch Mail works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or  
higher.  
Requirement  
1. From the Home screen, slide to the Mail tab, select your Outlook account, and then tap Inbox.  
2. Open an email message.  
3. By default, only the first few words of the message is shown. To download the whole email message,  
finger-scroll to the end of the message, and then tap Get the rest of this message.  
4. Wait for the remainder of the message body to download.  
• For information about changing email sync options such as setting the download size for email, see  
Notes  
• When you receive an email message 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  
device. You can view the document only if you have a Microsoft Outlook account that synchronizes 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.  
Searching for Email on the Exchange Server  
You can access email that is not available on your device by searching your Microsoft Exchange Server  
mailbox. The search results are downloaded and displayed in a Search Results folder.  
Your company must be using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher.  
Requirement  
1. Tap Start > All Programs > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.  
2. Tap Menu > Tools > Search Server.  
3. In the Look for text box, enter the search keyword.  
4. Choose the date range of messages to search from.  
5. In the Look in list, specify whether to search in the Inbox, Sent Items, or All Folders.  
6. Tap Search.  
To clear the search results and return to the message list, tap Menu > Clear Results.  
Tip

Section 3B. Web and Data Services  
 
Flagging Your Messages  
Flags serve as a reminder for you to follow up on important issues or requests contained in email messages.  
Flagging messages, which has been a useful feature on desktop Outlook Email, can also be done in  
Outlook Mobile on your device. You can flag received email messages on your device.  
Flags are enabled only if emails are synchronized with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher. Flags  
are disabled or hidden if email is synchronized with earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange Server.

GPS Navigation  
Use your device’s built-in GPS capabilities and the Sprint Navigation software to easily access both directional information  
and location-specific features such as nearby businesses, services or other points of interest. Sprint Navigation also  
provides turn-by-turn driving directions onscreen and by voice right on your device.  
Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS  
Please follow these guidelines before and when using your device as a GPS device.  
Do not attempt to set or adjust the GPS system while driving.  
When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the device securely in place. Avoid  
placing the device in the areas shown in the following diagram:  
1. Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.  
2. Do not place where air bags could deploy.  
3. Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the holder.  
The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by  
obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, and weather conditions. Even metal in  
the overhead visors could block GPS reception.  
Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with  
the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.  
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is maintained by the United States Department of Defense. Any  
changes that the DOD makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.  
Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the  
battery, which could cause damage to the device or the vehicle.  
182  
Section 3D. GPS Navigation  
     
Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS  
Before you start using your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS program first to download  
ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information) to your device. QuickGPS downloads data  
from a Web server using the Internet connection on your device (Wi-Fi, ActiveSync, or data services). This  
significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position.  
To open QuickGPS:  
Tap Start > All Programs > QuickGPS.  
To download data:  
Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.  
You will initially see onscreen the Valid time of the downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and  
hours of validity will be shown.  
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data when the validity of the data expires.  
Download Options  
To configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the available options:  
Remind me when data expires. Enables your device to display a reminder message when the validity of the  
ephemeris data has expired. When you see the reminder message, tap Menu to dismiss the reminder or to  
set the snooze time so that you will be reminded again. Tap OK to open the QuickGPS program and  
download the latest data.  
Auto download when data expires. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically updated onto your device when  
the data has expired.  
Auto download when connected to PC via ActiveSync. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded  
via ActiveSync to your device when your device is connected to your computer. Your computer must be  
connected to the Internet in order to download data.  
Exit QuickGPS after downloading. Closes QuickGPS after satellite data is downloaded.  
The data is stored on Web servers. QuickGPS is preconfigured to connect to these servers.  
Note

Sprint Navigation™ utilizes GPS positioning technology and access to Sprint’s wireless data network to provide  
you with driving directions and a host of other services including:  
GPS navigation that gives you turn-by-turn directions to any destination address in the continental United  
States. If you miss a turn or get off track, Sprint Navigation will calculate a new route for you. You can  
enter a destination address by using Sprint Navigation’s automatic voice recognition system or by typing  
on the your device’s onscreen keypad.  
Audio and visual traffic alerts while driving or viewing maps, as well as traffic rerouting capabilities to  
minimize delays.

Using Your SIM Card’s PhoneBook  
Your SIM card contains its own phone book that is separate from your device’s internal Contacts list. You can  
update and maintain the SIM PhoneBook whenever your SIM card is installed on your device, even if you are  
not in a GSM service area.  
When saving a Contacts entry to your SIM card, note that only the name and number are saved. Entries  
stored on the card do not contain any detailed information that may be stored in the device's internal  
memory. To store additional information for a particular contact, such as email addresses or dates, it is  
important to save that information to your device’s onboard memory.  
When a SIM card is active, the All Contacts screen that can be accessed from the TouchFLO 3D People tab  
will then display two types of entries:  
Contacts entry — SIM card  
Contacts entry — Phone  
Each Contacts entry stored on the SIM card can use only one phone number, and the entry’s name can be  
a maximum of 12 characters.  
Adding Entries to the SIM PhoneBook  
There are two ways to add new entries to your SIM card’s phonebook. You can add contact entries using the  
Windows Mobile Contacts program or the SIM Manager.  
Adding Entries Using Windows Mobile Contacts

Warning  
Section 4A. Important Safety Information  
207  
 
When Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices  
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it  
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may  
not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device; therefore, use of your device must be  
restricted in certain situations.  
In addition, the computer portion of your device produces low levels of RF energy due to the generation of  
digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your device has been equipped with internal shielding to  
minimize stray emissions of RF energy. However, use of the computer functions of your device must be  
restricted in certain situations.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be  
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and  
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.  
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when using your device.  
Doing so could result in interference with the function of the pacemaker.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six 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 pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.  
This is not necessary if the device is not held to the ear.  
Note  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.  
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.  
For more regulatory information about hearing devices, see “FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is  
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this  
information.  
Hospitals and Health Care Facilities  
Turn your device 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.  
Electronic Devices in Vehicles  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.  
Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the  
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.  
208  
Section 4A. Important Safety Information  
Posted Facilities  
Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.  
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In  
addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic  
devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any  
possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.  
Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of  
an authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the  
instructions of the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any  
possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.

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 rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing  
aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
RHOD400 complies with the FCC’s requirements for hearing aid compatibility when using the CDMA air  
interface. The M rating in this mode is M4 and the T rating in this mode is T3.  
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.  
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.  
Section 4B. Regulatory Notices  
213  
 
This methodology applies equally for T ratings. 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.  
For information about hearing aids and digital wireless phones  
FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility and Volume Control:  
Gallaudet University, RERC:  
This handset complies with the FCC’s requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility when using the CDMA air  
interface at both the PCS (1900 MHz) and Cellular (800 MHz) frequency bands. Hearing Aid Compatibility  
testing has resulted in an acoustic HAC rating of Mx and a T-Coil rating of Tx for CDMA operation. This  
handset is not configured to use the GSM/UMTS air interface in the United States. Hearing aid or cochlear  
implant users may have a slightly degraded experience when roaming internationally onto GSM or UMTS  
networks. Hearing aid or cochlear implant users should consult the service provider about its return and  
exchange policies and for information on hearing aid compatibility.  
SAR Information  
1.410 W/kg @ 1g ( FCC )  
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when  
used with the HTC Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other  
accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to  
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications  
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish  
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards  
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:  
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.  
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phone employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg*.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is  
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/  
reports/GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID: NM8RHOD400. Additional information on Specific  
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)  
* In the U.S., the SAR limit for mobile phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one  
gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the  
public and to account for any variations in usage.  
214  
Section 4B. Regulatory Notices  
 
Normal condition only 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.  
Body-worn Operation  
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a  
minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset,  
including the antenna. 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  
comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.  
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. 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  
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.  
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be  
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and  
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six 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 pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any  
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.  
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.  
Other Medical Devices  
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.
