Important safety precautions
Before you use your BlackBerry® device, it is important that you read the compliance
information and the guidelines for the safe use of your BlackBerry device that are found in
this guide. To find the latest safety and product information, visit www.blackberry.com/docs/
smartphones.
Use only approved batteries with your BlackBerry device. Use of batteries 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.
Use only RIM approved chargers. Use of chargers that have not been approved by RIM might
present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious harm, death, or property loss.
When you wear the BlackBerry device close to your body, use a RIM approved holster with
an integrated belt clip or maintain a distance of 0.98 in. (25 mm) between your
BlackBerry device and your body while the BlackBerry device is transmitting. Use of body-
worn accessories, other than RIM approved holsters with an integrated belt clip, might cause
your BlackBerry device to exceed radio frequency (RF) exposure standards if the accessories
are worn on your body while the BlackBerry device is transmitting. The long term effects of
exceeding RF exposure standards might present a risk of serious harm. For more information
about the compliance of this BlackBerry device with the FCC RF emission guidelines, visit
