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.
99, 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. Do not disassemble your BlackBerry device. Your BlackBerry device contains small parts that might be a choking hazard.
BlackBerry device, in the upper-right corner. If your BlackBerry device model has a camera, the camera flash LED aperture is located on the back of your BlackBerry device, either above or to the right of the camera lens. If you are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician before you use your BlackBerry device. Do not use your BlackBerry device while driving unless you are permitted by law to use the BlackBerry device in handsfree mode.
BlackBerry device are not intrinsically safe and cannot be used in the presence of explosive fumes, explosive dust, or other explosive chemicals. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in serious injury, death, or damage to property. Using your device safely • Do not place heavy objects on your BlackBerry® device. • Do not attempt to modify or service your BlackBerry device.
• When using your BlackBerry device, take frequent breaks. If you experience any discomfort in your neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands (including thumbs and fingers), or other parts of the body when using your BlackBerry device, cease use immediately. If discomfort persists, consult a physician. Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

verify that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed on the power supply. Connect the BlackBerry device only to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program. Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles because this might result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not heat the battery above 140°F (60°C). Heating the battery above 140°F (60°C) could cause the battery to catch fire or explode. Do not allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals. Use only the battery that Research In Motion specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry device model. RIM specifies batteries for use in BlackBerry devices in compliance with IEEE® Std 1725™-200x.
Store your BlackBerry device safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory as a means of storing your BlackBerry device while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not place your BlackBerry device or other objects above the air bag, or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly stored or installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
approved by RIM when you carry your BlackBerry device, keep your BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting. When using any data feature of your BlackBerry device (for example, email messages, PIN messages, MMS messages, or browser service), with or without a USB cable, hold your BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body.
Media Certain jurisdictions might prohibit or restrict your use of certain features on your 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 your BlackBerry device. Honor the personal rights of others.
Interference with electronic equipment Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency signals. However, certain electronic equipment might not be shielded against the radio frequency signals from your BlackBerry® device. Pacemakers: Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you have any questions regarding the effect of radio frequency signals on your pacemaker.
Your BlackBerry device includes a magnetometer, which is used by applications such as the Compass application. If an application that uses the magnetometer causes interference with your hearing aid, close the application. 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 radio frequency energy. Your physician might be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Dangerous areas Your BlackBerry® device is not an intrinsically safe device and is not suitable for use in hazardous environments, where intrinsically safe devices are required, including without limitation, in presence of gas fumes, explosive dust situations, operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication services, air traffic control, and life support or weapons systems.
Operating and storage temperatures Do not use your BlackBerry® device in surrounding temperatures that exceed 95°F (35°C). Use above this surrounding temperature could cause your BlackBerry device to become hot, which could result in serious injury, death, or damage to property. Do not store your BlackBerry device in surrounding temperatures that exceed 86°F (30°C).
Device cleaning and repair Cleaning: Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents on or near your BlackBerry® device or device accessories. Clean only with a soft dry cloth. Disconnect any cables from the computer and unplug any charging accessories from the electrical outlet before cleaning either your BlackBerry device or the charging accessory.
