the maximum value. This is because the handheld 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 handheld model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC/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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC/IC for each model. The highest SAR value for each model handheld when
tested for use at the ear is outlined in the table below:
The highest SAR value for each model handheld when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is outlined in the table below::
Body-worn measurements differ among wireless handheld and phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC/IC requirements. While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handheld with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model
handheld is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of

(BlackBerry 7780).

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handhelds used by the public is 1.6 watts/
kg (W/kg) averaged over one 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.
The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
fields have not been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or attachments could
damage the handheld and may violate FCC regulations.
