WARNING Before use, please ensure that the mains voltage is in accordance with the input voltage printed on the power supply. To be operated on mains with a circuit breaker rated 16A max. Use only with BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds. Protect against beating rain. For indoor use only. EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Your wireless handheld complies with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines respecting safety levels of RF exposure for handheld wireless devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95.1 (1999) • National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86 (1986) • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) (1996) To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only RIM supplied or approved accessories. When carrying the wireless handheld while on, use the specific RIM holster that has been tested for compliance. Use of non-RIM approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. Installation and Getting Started Guide 12 Important safety information SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. GOVERNMENT Your 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 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 mobile handhelds 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.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the handheld 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 handheld while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the handheld 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 handheld model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC/IC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC/IC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model handheld when tested for use at the ear is 1.28 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.32 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless handheld and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handheld with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handheld is on file with the FCC and Installation and Getting Started Guide Important safety information 13 can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID L6AR6020GW. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http:// www.wow-com.com. ___________________________________ * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handhelds used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. ANTENNA CARE Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or attachments could damage the handheld and may violate FCC regulations. AIRCRAFT Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)/FCC regulations prohibit using the radio of your handheld while in the air. Switch the radio of your handheld OFF before boarding an aircraft. The effect of the use of your handheld’s radio in an aircraft is unknown. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance, may disrupt the network, may otherwise be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, and may be illegal. All other applications of your handheld may be used in accordance with airline regulations for electronic devices.

To add a redirection filter Filters help you manage your email by automatically performing actions on received messages using filter settings (rules). Rules are the sets of conditions and actions that make up a filter. Installation and Getting Started Guide Using the desktop software — Configuring email redirection settings 1. Insert your handheld in the cradle. If a password is enabled on your handheld, you must type it before you can connect to your desktop. In the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, double-click the Redirector Settings icon. The Redirector Settings window appears. 2. Click the Filters tab, then click New. The Add Filter window appears. 3. In the Filter Name field, type a name that describes the new filter. 4. The list of conditions below the filter name can be activated by selecting the check box beside each field. Any email message arriving at your desktop that meets the condition(s) will be subject to this filter. Note 79 Refer to the Redirector Settings Online Help for more information on the conditions and rules that you can set for your new filter. 5. When you have selected the filter conditions, decide whether the message will be forwarded to the handheld, forwarded with Level 1 notification, forwarded with only the header, or held at your desktop. 6. When you have set the conditions and actions, click OK. The new filter will appear on the list on the Filters tab. To rearrange the order of your filters, select the filter you would like to move and click the up or down arrow buttons. As each email message arrives at your desktop, the filter at the top of the list is applied first. Therefore, when adding a filter that is more restrictive in nature than the defaults, ensure that it is placed at the TOP of the filter list, so that it will be applied to the incoming messages first. Note If you have set rules on your desktop to move specific messages to a different folder as soon as they arrive in your Inbox, these messages will only be forwarded to your handheld if you specify email redirection from that folder. You can change the folders from which email is redirected with the Redirector Settings tool, on the Advanced tab. Refer to the Redirector Settings Online Help for more information on folder redirection and the Advanced tab.
