Safety and product information Safety information Please read these safety and operation instructions before using the BlackBerry® device or any accessories provided with the device. Retain these instructions for future use. In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® enabled and wireless devices with encryption software. Check with your local authorities.
Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles as this might result in a risk of fire or electric shock. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or the plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when you disconnect the charging accessory from the power outlet or convenience receptacle. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where the power cord connects to the BlackBerry device.
Battery usage by children should be supervised. When this icon appears on your BlackBerry device, the lithium-ion battery is not inserted or an invalid lithium-ion battery is inserted. If you have inserted an invalid lithium-ion battery, remove it immediately and insert the lithium-ion battery that RIM specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry device model.
• Use hands-free operation if it is available. • Pull off the road and park before using your BlackBerry device in any way. Research In Motion (RIM) recommends that you do not use the BlackBerry device while driving. Instead, consider having a passenger in the vehicle use the BlackBerry device for you, or find a safe location to stop your vehicle prior to using the device. Store the BlackBerry device safely before driving your vehicle.
Antenna care Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or attachments could damage the BlackBerry® device and might violate U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. Operating and storage temperatures Situate the BlackBerry® device or device accessories away from heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Interference with electronic equipment Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from the BlackBerry® device. Pacemakers: Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you have any questions regarding the effect of RF signals on your pacemaker.
Health care facilities: Turn off all wireless connections on the BlackBerry device 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. Aircraft: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit using the radio of wireless devices while in the air.
Do not use the phone on the BlackBerry® device to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Leave the area and, if the phone is available and active on the BlackBerry device, make the call from a safe location. Blasting areas: To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off all wireless connections on the BlackBerry device when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, adjust only those controls that are covered in the user documentation for the BlackBerry device. An improper adjustment of other controls might cause damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the BlackBerry device, charging accessory, or any other accessory to normal operation.
Audio files: The BlackBerry device has the capability to play audio files. When listening to audio files using headphones, permanent hearing loss might occur if headphones are used at a high volume. Avoid increasing the volume of your headphones to block out noisy surroundings. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, consult a physician to have your hearing checked.
Holster: The BlackBerry device might not come with a holster (body-worn accessory). If you wear the BlackBerry device on your body, always put the device in a BlackBerry device holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by Research In Motion (RIM). If you do not use a holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry device, keep the device at least 0.

warranty applicable to the BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry device, keep the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is turned on and connected to a wireless network. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without a USB cable, hold the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body.
using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
approved by RIM, that do not come equipped with an integrated belt clip SHOULD NOT be worn or carried on the body. For more information regarding the wearing or carrying of this BlackBerry device without using a RIM approved carrying solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see the Holster information in the "Additional safety guidelines" section of this document.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. ** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.
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 manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio communications.
