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-ion 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-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.
• Do not use excessive force on the screen. Driving and walking safely Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility. You are responsible for knowing and obeying the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Research In Motion recommends that you do not use your BlackBerry® device while you drive.
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 operating 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) 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.

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. Flashing lights: Exposure to flashing lights on the BlackBerry device can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts and might be dangerous to you or others.
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.
