Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry device or any  
other RIM approved charging accessories only from the type of power  
supply indicated on the marking label. Before you use any power supply,  
11  
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. 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 device. Unplug charging accessories during  
lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. When you use  
your BlackBerry device 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 device.  
To buy accessories for your BlackBerry device, contact your wireless service  
provider or visit www.shopblackberry.com.  
Battery safety

not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery. If the battery has been  
disassembled, crushed, or punctured, cease use of the battery immediately.  
12  
 
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.  
CAUTION: 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. Using any  
other battery might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry  
device. In addition, there might be a risk of fire or explosion if you replace  
the battery with an incorrect battery type. Please ensure you dispose of  
used batteries according to the instructions set out in this safety  
information booklet.  
Children should not handle batteries unless they are supervised by an adult.  
When this icon appears on your BlackBerry device, the  
battery is not inserted correctly or an invalid battery is  
inserted. If you inserted the battery that is specified for use  
with your particular BlackBerry device model, remove and reinsert the  
battery. If you inserted an invalid battery, remove it immediately and insert  
the battery that RIM specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry device  
model. Verify that the battery connectors align with the connectors on your  
BlackBerry device.  
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.  
13  
 
Research In Motion recommends that you do not use your BlackBerry  
device while you drive. Instead, consider having a passenger in the vehicle  
use your BlackBerry device for you, or find a safe location to stop your  
vehicle before you use your BlackBerry device.  
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.  
Radio frequency signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer  
or its representative regarding your vehicle. If any equipment has been  
added to your vehicle, you should also consult the manufacturer of that  
equipment for information on radio frequency signals.  
Do not use your BlackBerry device while walking or engaging in any activity  
that requires your full attention. Inattention to vehicular traffic or other  
pedestrian hazards could result in serious injury, death, or property loss.  
Accessories  
Use only those accessories approved by Research In Motion. Using any  
accessories not approved by RIM for use with this particular BlackBerry  
device model might invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the  
BlackBerry device, might result in the BlackBerry device becoming  
inoperative, and might be dangerous.  
14  
 
Carrying solutions: Your BlackBerry device might not come with a holster  
(body-worn accessory). If you wear your BlackBerry device on your body,  
always put your BlackBerry device in a BlackBerry device holster equipped  
with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by Research In Motion. If  
you do not use a holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or  
approved by RIM when you carry your BlackBerry device, keep your  
BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 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 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body. Using  
accessories that are not supplied by or approved by RIM might cause your  
BlackBerry device to exceed radio frequency exposure guidelines. For more  
information about radio frequency exposure, see the "Compliance  
information" section of this guide.  
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.  
Magnetometer  
Your BlackBerry device includes a magnetometer. The magnetometer is  
used by applications such as the Compass application. Magnets-or devices  
that contain magnets, such as holsters, headphones, or monitors-might  
15  
 
negatively affect the accuracy of the magnetometer. Do not rely solely on  
applications that use the magnetometer to determine your location. In an  
emergency situation, do not rely solely on applications that use the  
magnetometer.  
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. Copyright protections might prevent you from  
copying, modifying, transferring, or forwarding some pictures, music  
(including ring tones), or other content.  
Audio files: Permanent hearing loss might occur if you listen to audio files  
at high volumes, particularly with headphones. Avoid increasing the volume  
of your headphones to block out noisy surroundings. If you experience  
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, consult a physician to have your  
hearing checked.  
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.  
16  
 
Antenna  
Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized antenna  
modifications or attachments could damage the BlackBerry device and  
might violate U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.  
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. Verify that you are using your BlackBerry device in  
accordance with the safety requirements associated with your particular  
pacemaker, which might include the following requirements:  
Always keep your BlackBerry device more than 7.88 inches (20  
cm) from the pacemaker when your BlackBerry device is turned  
on.  
Do not carry your BlackBerry device in your breast pocket.  
When using the phone on your BlackBerry device, use the ear  
opposite the pacemaker for making and receiving calls to  
minimize the potential interference.  
17  
   
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. In the event of such interference, consult your wireless service  
provider or contact the manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss  
alternatives.  
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.  
Health care facilities: Turn off all wireless connections on your BlackBerry  
device in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas  
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities might be using  
equipment that could be sensitive to external radio frequency energy.  
Aircraft: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit using the radio of  
wireless devices while in the air. Turn off all wireless connections on your  
BlackBerry device before boarding an aircraft. The effect of using the  
BlackBerry device with wireless connections turned on in an aircraft is  
unknown. Such use might affect aircraft instrumentation, communication,  
18  
and performance, might disrupt the 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.

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 signals. The BlackBerry device is designed to comply  
with Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Ministry of Internal Affairs  
and Communications (MIC), and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting  
safety levels of radio frequency exposure for wireless devices, which in turn  
are consistent with the following safety standards previously set by  
Canadian, U.S., and international standards bodies:  
ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 2005, American National Standards Institute/  
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard for  
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio  
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz  
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements  
(NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria  
for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields  
Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 2009, Limits of Human Exposure to  
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range  
from 3 kHz to 300 GHz  
EN 50360:2001+A1:2012, Product standard to demonstrate the  
compliance of mobile phones with the basic restrictions related  
to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300 MHz to 3 GHz)  
25  
   
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection  
(ICNIRP), 2009, 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 radio frequency  
exposure guidelines when you carry the BlackBerry device on your body,  
use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied  
or approved by Research In Motion. Use of accessories that are not  
expressly approved by RIM might violate FCC, IC, and EU radio frequency  
exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the  
BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with  
an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when you carry the  
BlackBerry device, keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm)  
from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting. When using any  
data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without a USB cable, hold the  
BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body. If you use a  
body-worn accessory not supplied by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry  
device, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the  
BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the  
BlackBerry device is transmitting.  
To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:  
26  
Use the BlackBerry device in areas where there is a strong  
wireless signal. The indicator that provides information about the  
strength of the wireless signal is located in the upper-right corner  
of the home screen and displays five ascending bars. Three or  
more bars indicate a strong 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 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body (including the  
abdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of  
teenagers) when the BlackBerry device is turned on and  
connected to the wireless network. For more information about

Specific absorption rate data  
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR  
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.  
The BlackBerry device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio  
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian  
Government (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union  
27  
 
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*. 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. Although the  
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level  
of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is  
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to  
use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer  
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.  
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be  
tested and certified to the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union  
that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted  
requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).  
The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear  
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the  
European Union for each model.  
The highest SAR value for your BlackBerry device model when tested for  
use at the ear is outlined as follows:

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by  
the public is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 g of tissue for the body or head  
(4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists,  
ankles, and feet).  
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0W/kg  
averaged over 10 g of tissue for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over  
10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). Studies  
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.

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications  
Commission ("FCC") Requirements for Hearing Aid  
Compatibility with Wireless Devices  
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids  
and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining  
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference  
that they generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing  
device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with their  
hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices  
that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other  
relevant approval markings.  
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.  
This BlackBerry device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids  
for some of the wireless technologies that the BlackBerry device uses.  
However, other wireless technologies may be used in this BlackBerry device  
that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try  
35  
 
the different features of your BlackBerry device thoroughly and in different  
locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this  
BlackBerry device with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your  
wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies and for  
information about hearing aid compatibility.  
How the ratings work  
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless  
devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.  
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are  
likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or  
"Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or  
higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in  
them.)  
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.  
For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard  
to hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the  
FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to  
telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
