Important Information 1
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The following topics provide important information that should be read prior to using your
HTCDesire 510.
RADIO FREQUENCY EXPOSURE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada specific
absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical body-worn operations.
To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or
similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the
device, with either the front or back of the device facing towards your body. Such accessories should
not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications
may not ensure compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON RECOVERABLE DATA
Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device may still
be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not permanently
erase all data from your phone, including personal information.
