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:
