Turn off your device in explosive environments.
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.
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. Unplug charging accessories during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area exposed to the elements. For more information about inserting the lithium-polymer battery and connecting the power supply, see the documentation that came with the BlackBerry device.
When this icon appears on your BlackBerry device, the lithium-polymer battery is not inserted or an invalid lithium-polymer battery is inserted. If you have inserted an invalid lithium-polymer battery, remove it immediately and insert the lithium-polymer battery that RIM specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry device model. If you have inserted the lithium-polymer battery that is specified for use with your particular BlackBerry device model, remove and reinsert the lithiumpolymer battery.
Driving safety Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using the BlackBerry® device in your car, please use the following minimum guidelines: • Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility. • 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.
Accessories Use only those accessories approved by Research In Motion (RIM). Using any accessories not approved by RIM for use with this particular BlackBerry® device model might invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the device, might result in the non-operation of the device, and might be dangerous. Antenna care Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or attachments could damage the BlackBerry® device and might violate U.S.
Travel charger storage -22 to 167°F (-30 to 75°C) 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.
Other medical devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if the device is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline or petrol stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
• the BlackBerry device or charging accessory does not operate normally by following the instructions in the user documentation • the BlackBerry device or charging accessory exhibits a distinct change in performance Do not attempt to disassemble the BlackBerry device or any charging accessory. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, adjust only those controls that are covered in the user documentation for the BlackBerry device.
others. Copyright protections might prevent you from copying, modifying, transferring, or forwarding some pictures, music (including ring tones), or other content. Do not aim the camera directly at the sun or any other bright light. This action could cause serious damage to your eyes or damage the BlackBerry device.
Stability: Do not place the BlackBerry device or device accessory on any unstable surface. It could fall, thereby potentially causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the BlackBerry device or device accessory. Take care when using the BlackBerry device with any charging accessories to route the power cord in a way that reduces the risk of injury to others, such as by tripping or choking.
Carrying solutions: Most BlackBerry carrying solutions for BlackBerry devices, for example holsters, totes, and pouches, incorporate a magnet into the physical structure of the carrying solution.

Specific absorption rate data THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. 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.
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC, IC, MIC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
BlackBerry 9000 smartphone -/0.37 Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union 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 RF emission guidelines. 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.
FCC compliance statement (United States) FCC Class B Part 15 This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
• 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.
to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this BlackBerry device with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your service provider about its return and exchange policies and for information on 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/ higher of the two ratings.
The maximum antenna gains for the 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz bands of the BlackBerry device complies with the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) limit restrictions as outlined by Industry Canada RSS 210. Class B compliance This BlackBerry® device complies with the Class B limits for radio noise emissions as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.
SL1 3XE United Kingdom This equipment may be operated in all European Union member countries. When operated in France, this equipment uses non harmonized frequency bands. This equipment may be operated in Turkey. In France, outdoor operation of a wireless device is only permitted using the 2.4 to 2.454 GHz frequency band. The BlackBerry device only operates in infrastructure mode and as a result, will not transmit in the 2.4 to 2.45 GHz frequency band other than to communicate with a wireless access point.
