Important safety/compliance informationGetting Started Guide 13Important safety/compliance informationEXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALSYour 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.SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATATHIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
14 BlackBerry Wireless HandheldImportant safety informationYour 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 x.xx W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is x.xx W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless handheld and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC requirements).
Important safety/compliance informationGetting Started Guide 15While 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 can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID L6AR6510IN.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 CAREUse only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or attachments could damage the handheld and may violate FCC regulations.AIRCRAFTFederal 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
16 BlackBerry Wireless HandheldImportant safety informationdangerous 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.FCC compliance statement (USA)FCC Class B Part 15 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:• This device may not cause harmful interference, and• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio communications.There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Industry Canada CertificationGetting Started Guide 17• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Industry Canada CertificationThis device complies with Industry Canada RSS 119, under certification number xxxxxx-R6510IN.Class B complianceThis device complies with the Class B limits for radio noise emissions as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.
