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.
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. 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.
• 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.
When taking, processing, or using pictures, obey all laws, regulations, procedures, and policies, including, without limitation, any copyright, personal privacy, trade secret, or security laws which might govern or restrict you while using the BlackBerry device.

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
signal. A reduced signal display, which might occur in areas such as an underground parking structure or if you are traveling by train or car, might indicate increased power output from your BlackBerry device as it attempts to connect to a weak signal. • Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in.
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*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/ 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.
