Managing Your Phone 29 13.7 Resetting Your Phone Performing a soft reset Perform a soft (normal) reset to clear all active program memory and shut down all active programs. This is useful when your phone is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work is lost. To perform a soft reset Use the stylus tip to press the RESET button at the right panel of your phone. Your phone restarts and displays the Home screen. Performing a hard reset If a normal reset does not solve a system problem, you can perform a hard (full) reset. After a hard reset, the phone is restored to its default settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. You will lose any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your phone, and only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain. Warning! Your phone will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before you perform a hard reset.
250 Managing Your Phone Important If Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, backup all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard reset, or updating the operating system.

25 Appendix A.2 Regulatory Notices Regulatory Agency Identifications For regulatory identification purposes, your product is assigned a model number of RHOD210. To ensure continued reliable and safe operation of your phone, use only the accessories listed below with your RHOD210. The Battery Pack has been assigned a model number of RHOD160. Note This product is intended for use with a certified Class 2 Limited Power Source, rated 5 Volts DC, maximum 1 Amp power supply unit. Federal Communications Commission Notice This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful 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 measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Appendix 255 • Connect the equipment 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 may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Safety precautions for RF exposure • 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. Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. 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 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 • ...

256 Appendix The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage. 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. Your device has an internal antenna. 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. 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. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. 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. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operation can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. This phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory ...
Appendix 257 that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only HTC Corporation approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use the HTC Corporation supplied or approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. Use of non HTC Corporation approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided. SAR Information 1.2 w/kg@1g (FCC) 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.
258 Appendix 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. Turn the 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.
