Safety and Product Information Booklet

Liquids and foreign objects: Never push objects of any kind into the handheld or handheld

accessories through openings as this action might short circuit parts and cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not use the handheld or handheld accessories near water (for example, near a bathtub or a sink, in a

wet basement, or near a swimming pool). Never spill liquid of any kind on the handheld or handheld

accessories.

Stability: Do not place the handheld or handheld accessory on any unstable surface. It could fall,

thereby potentially causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the handheld or handheld

accessory. Take care when using the handheld with any charging accessories to route the power cord

in a way that reduces the risk of injury to others, such as by tripping or choking.

Cleaning: Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents on or near the handheld or handheld

accessory. Clean only with a dry cloth. Disconnect any cables from the computer and unplug any

charging accessories from the electrical outlet before cleaning either the handheld or the charging

accessory.

Compliance information

The BlackBerry Wireless Handheld is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When the handheld

radio is on, it receives and also sends out RF signals. The handheld complies with U.S. Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of

RF exposure for wireless handheld 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, 1999, IEEE 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 Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency

Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), 1998, Guidelines for

limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)

To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines when carrying the handheld on

your body, use only RIM-supplied or approved accessories. Use of accessories that are not approved

by RIM might violate FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines and might void any warranty

applicable to the handheld. When carrying the handheld while the radio is on, use the specific RIM-

approved holster that has been tested for compliance. For data operation (when you do not use a body-

worn accessory and are not holding the handheld at the ear), position the handheld at least 15mm (0.60

inches) from the body.

THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR

EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

The BlackBerry Wireless Handheld 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 and Industry Canada of the Canadian

Government (IC). 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
