Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off all wireless connections on the BlackBerry device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
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.

comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**.
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.
