Safety and Product Information

Health care facilities: Turn off Bluetooth® technology on the headset in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas

instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit using the radio of wireless

devices while in the air. Turn off the headset before boarding an aircraft. The effect of using Bluetooth technology on the headset in an aircraft

is unknown. Such use might affect aircraft instrumentation, communication, and performance, might disrupt the network, might otherwise be

dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, and might be illegal.

Dangerous areas

The BlackBerry® Wireless Headset HS-500 is not an intrinsically safe device and is not suitable for use in hazardous environments, where such

devices are required, including without limitation, in presence of gas fumes, explosive dust situations, operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft

navigation or communication services, air traffic control, and life support or weapons systems.

Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off the headset when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and

instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline or petrol

stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);

areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Blasting areas: To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off Bluetooth® technology on the headset when in a "blasting area" or in

areas that post "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.

Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices

When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or

whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of

interference that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with

their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together

with other relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable

to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.

Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your

personal needs.
