To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines when carrying the BlackBerry device on your body, use only accessories

that are supplied or approved by Research In Motion (RIM). Use of accessories that are not expressly approved by RIM might violate FCC,

IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory

supplied or approved by RIM when carrying the BlackBerry device, keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your

body when the device is connected to a wireless network. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without an

accessory cable, position the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body.

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

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. 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 standards include a substantial

safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

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 each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:
