To maintain compliance with radio frequency exposure guidelines and limits, keep the
smartphone at least 0.39 in. (10 mm) away from your body. When you carry the smartphone
on your body, use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied
or approved by the manufacturer. If you use a body-worn accessory not supplied by the
manufacturer, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the smartphone at
least 0.39 in. (10 mm) from your body.
To reduce radio frequency exposure: (i) use the smartphone in areas where there is a strong
wireless signal; (ii) use hands-free options; and (iii) reduce the amount of time spent on calls,
or send an email, text message, or BBM message instead.
Specific absorption rate data
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.
The smartphone 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 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 is 1.6W/kg
are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC 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.
The highest SAR value for this smartphone when tested for use at the ear is:
Smartphone
BlackBerry® KEYone (BBB100-3)
The highest SAR value for this smartphone when tested in a BlackBerry holster with an
integrated belt clip or at a distance of 0.39 in. (10 mm) from the body, is:
Smartphone
BlackBerry® KEYone (BBB100-3)
Body-worn measurements (recommended separation distances) differ among wireless
devices, including smartphones, depending upon supplied or available accessories and
applicable FCC requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this smartphone based on reported SAR
levels complying with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines when the smartphone is
used as directed in this section. SAR information for this smartphone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching for
the FCC ID for your smartphone listed below.
• FCC ID: 2ACCJN017
Additional information on SAR can be found at www.ctia.org (CTIA - The Wireless Association),

Affairs and Communications).
FCC compliance statement (United States)
FCC Class B Part 15
This smartphone complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this smartphone may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this smartphone must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
* In the United States, 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).
