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.
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. If you have inserted the lithiumion battery that is specified for use with your particular BlackBerry device model, remove and reinsert the lithium-ion battery.
• 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. Do not use any charging accessory as a means of storing the BlackBerry device while you are in a 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.
Camera flash LED aperture, LED notification light, and trackball lights: If your BlackBerry device model has a camera, the camera flash LED aperture is located on the back of your BlackBerry device, to the right of the self-portrait mirror. The LED notification light is located on the front of your BlackBerry device, in the top right corner. Exposure to flashing lights on the BlackBerry device can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts and might be dangerous to you or others.
Cleaning: Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents on or near the BlackBerry device or device accessory. Clean only with a soft dry cloth. Disconnect any cables from the computer and unplug any charging accessories from the electrical outlet before cleaning either the BlackBerry device or the charging accessory. Repetitive strain: When using the BlackBerry device, take frequent breaks.
Compliance information Exposure to radio frequency signals The BlackBerry® device radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When the BlackBerry device radio is turned on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), 1998, Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz) • Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), 1999, Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) • MIC, 2001, Article 14-2 of the Ordinance for Regulating Radio Equipment To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, MIC, and EU RF expo
The BlackBerry® device 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, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below: Device 1 g / 10 g SAR (W/kg) BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8120 smartphone 1.48/1.26 The highest reported SAR value for this BlackBerry device when clipped on a belt, in a Research In Motion approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is outlined below.
* 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.
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.
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.
