Important safety precautions

Use only approved batteries and chargers with your BlackBerry smartphone. Use of batteries or

chargers that have not been approved by Research In Motion might present a risk of fire or

explosion, which could cause serious harm, death, or property loss.

Use only RIM approved holsters. Use of holsters that have not been approved by RIM might, in the

long term, present a risk of serious harm.

When you wear the BlackBerry smartphone close to your body, use a RIM approved holster with an

integrated belt clip, or maintain a distance of 0.59 in. (15 mm) between your BlackBerry smartphone

and your body while the BlackBerry smartphone is transmitting. Use of body-worn accessories, other

than RIM approved holsters with an integrated belt clip, might cause your BlackBerry smartphone to

exceed radio frequency exposure standards if the accessories are worn on your body while the

BlackBerry smartphone is transmitting. The long term effects of exceeding radio frequency exposure

standards might present a risk of serious harm. For more information about the compliance of this

BlackBerry smartphone with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines, visit www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/

fccid and search for the FCC ID for your BlackBerry smartphone listed below. The FCC ID is located

on the information sticker on your BlackBerry smartphone behind the battery. To view the FCC ID,

remove the battery door and the battery.

• BlackBerry 9720 smartphone (model number RFU81UW): FCC ID L6ARFU80UW

Your BlackBerry smartphone is designed to be operated in temperatures between 32 and 95°F (0

and 35°C). Use of your BlackBerry smartphone outside of the recommended temperature range

could cause damage to your BlackBerry smartphone or lithium-ion battery.

Do not rely on your BlackBerry smartphone 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 smartphone, see

the "About emergency calls and the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System" section for more information

about emergency calls.

Do not disassemble your BlackBerry smartphone. Your BlackBerry smartphone contains small parts

that might be a choking hazard.

Keep your BlackBerry smartphone away from medical devices, including pacemakers and hearing

aids, because they might malfunction and cause serious harm or death to you or others.

Do not put your BlackBerry smartphone in contact with liquids because this might cause a short

circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.

When you use your BlackBerry smartphone speakerphone, never hold the BlackBerry smartphone to

your ear. Serious and permanent hearing damage could occur.

Exposure to flashing lights on your BlackBerry smartphone can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts

and might be dangerous to you or others. In the event that you experience, or your use of your

BlackBerry smartphone causes in others, any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching,

convulsions, or any involuntary movements, stop using your BlackBerry smartphone immediately

and consult a physician. The LED notification light is located on the front of your BlackBerry

smartphone, in the upper-right corner. If your BlackBerry smartphone model has a camera, the

camera flash LED aperture is located on the back of your BlackBerry smartphone, 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 smartphone.

Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone while driving unless you are permitted by law to use the

BlackBerry smartphone in hands-free mode. Using your BlackBerry smartphone while driving could

put you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death, or property loss.

Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone in the presence of gas fumes because it might present a risk

of fire or explosion.

Do not dispose of your BlackBerry smartphone in a fire because this might cause an explosion

resulting in serious injury, death, or property loss.

Turn off your BlackBerry smartphone on aircrafts. Using your BlackBerry smartphone on an aircraft

might affect aircraft instrumentation, communication, and performance; might disrupt the network;

might otherwise be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, its crew, and its passengers; and might

be illegal.

BlackBerry smartphones 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 smartphone safely

• Do not place heavy objects on your BlackBerry smartphone.

• Do not attempt to modify or service your BlackBerry smartphone.

• Do not attempt to cover or push objects into openings on your BlackBerry smartphone unless instructed to do so in

Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry smartphone or any other RIM approved charging accessories

only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Before you use any power supply, verify that the mains

voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed on the power supply. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone only to CTIA

certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo, or products that 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. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or the plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when you

disconnect the charging accessory from the power outlet or convenience receptacle.

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 smartphone. Unplug charging accessories during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time. When you use your BlackBerry smartphone with any charging accessories, ensure

that you route the power cord in a way that reduces the risk of injury to others, such as tripping or choking. Do not use

charging accessories outside or in any area exposed to the elements.

For more information about inserting the battery and connecting the power supply, see the documentation that came with

your BlackBerry smartphone.
