T-Mobile htc Desire 530 Start Guide

Safety tips

Consider device compatibility
If you have a pacemaker or hearing aid, check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to use a cell phone. In some cases, cellular radio frequencies can disrupt the performance of other electronic equipment. If you have questions about the interaction between your phone and any other piece of electronic equipment, ask the equipment manufacturer.

Drive safely
When you are driving, use your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Be aware of laws prohibiting or restricting the use of a cell phone while driving in your area. If allowed, here are a few tips:

• Assess road conditions before answering your phone. Your safety is more important than any call.
• Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one, or turn on your speakerphone, before you start moving.
• Keep your phone close. If it rings and you discover it's in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.

Emergency dialing
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1 emergency calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to be approximated during a 9-1-1 call.*

* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the

1. wireless network and
2. 9-1-1 calling system that are required to be installed by the local 9-1-1 response agency or public safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone's location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations, transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength, and atmospheric/topographical conditions, and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped, or refused. The phone's approximate location is transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on a phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please see T-Mobile's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and details.
