Safety information Excited to start using your BlackBerry® device? Before you get started, read this booklet which contains important safety and regulatory information for your BlackBerry device. Keep this booklet in a safe place so that you can refer to it whenever you need it. In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® enabled and wireless devices with encryption software. Check with your local authorities for the restrictions in your area.
BlackBerry device and your body while the BlackBerry device is transmitting. Use of body-worn accessories, other than RIM approved holsters with an integrated belt clip, might cause your BlackBerry device to exceed radio frequency exposure standards if the accessories are worn on your body while the BlackBerry device is transmitting. The long term effects of exceeding radio frequency exposure standards might present a risk of serious harm.
Do not rely on your BlackBerry device for emergency communications. The wireless networks that are necessary to make emergency calls or send messages are not available in all areas, and emergency numbers, such as 911, 112, or 999, might not connect you to emergency services in all areas. If you have the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System installed on your BlackBerry device, see the "About emergency calls and the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System" section for more information about emergency calls.
others, any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching, convulsions, or any involuntary movements, stop using your BlackBerry device immediately and consult a physician. The LED notification light is located on the front of your BlackBerry device, in the upper-right corner.

Most BlackBerry carrying solutions for BlackBerry devices (for example, holsters, totes, and pouches) incorporate a magnet into the physical structure of the carrying solution. Do not place items containing magnetic strip components, such as debit cards, credit cards, hotel key cards, phone cards, or similar items, near BlackBerry carrying solutions that incorporate a magnet into the physical structure of the carrying solution. The magnet might damage or erase the data stored on the magnetic strip.
Camera: If your BlackBerry device has a camera, 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 your BlackBerry device. When using the camera flash, keep the camera flash LED aperture at least 19.69 in. (50 cm) from the subject's eyes. Antenna Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or attachments could damage the BlackBerry® device and might violate U.S.
• When using the phone on your BlackBerry device, use the ear opposite the pacemaker for making and receiving calls to minimize the potential interference. • If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off all wireless connections on your BlackBerry device immediately. Stop using your BlackBerry device and consult a physician. Hearing aids: Some digital wireless devices might interfere with some hearing aids.
network; might otherwise be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft; and might be illegal. With all wireless connections on your BlackBerry device turned off, use only nonradio-based device applications in accordance with airline regulations for electronic devices.

when used as directed in the previous section. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. 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*.

suggest that 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). FCC compliance statement (United States) FCC Class B Part 15 This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules.
There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning on and turning off the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
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.
