• Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerry smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your

body (including the abdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of teenagers) when the BlackBerry

smartphone is turned on and connected to the wireless network. For more information about carrying your

Specific absorption rate data

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN

USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.

The BlackBerry smartphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the

U.S. Government and Industry Canada (IC) of the Canadian Government when used as directed in the previous section.

These limits are part of 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*. Tests for SAR are conducted 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. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower

the power output.

Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and IC that it

does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed

in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC and IC for each model.

The highest SAR value for your BlackBerry smartphone model when tested for use at the ear is outlined as follows:

The highest reported body SAR value for this BlackBerry smartphone when clipped on a belt, in a Research In Motion

approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is outlined below. Carrying solutions, including RIM approved

carrying solutions and carrying solutions not 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

smartphone without using a RIM approved carrying solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see the holster

information in the "Accessories" section of this document.

smartphone when clipped on a belt, in a Research In Motion approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is

outlined below.

Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available accessories and

FCC and IC requirements.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as

in compliance with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines when the BlackBerry smartphone is used as directed in

this section. SAR information on this wireless device model is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display

Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching for the FCC ID for your BlackBerry smartphone listed below.

___________________________________

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 g of

tissue for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).

FCC compliance statement (United States)

FCC Class B Part 15

This smartphone complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions:

• This smartphone may not cause harmful interference.

• This smartphone must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

CAUTION

: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

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.

There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning on and turning off the

equipment, 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.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission

("FCC") Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless

Devices

When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a

buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and

wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may

be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will

have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing

device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.

Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to

evaluate it for your personal needs.

This

BlackBerry smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that

the BlackBerry smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this BlackBerry smartphone that

have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your BlackBerry smartphone

thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this BlackBerry smartphone

with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies

and for information about hearing aid compatibility.

How the ratings work

M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to

hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing

device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two

ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or

hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the

less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard to hearing aid compatibility with wireless

devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to

telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
