Interference with electronicequipmentMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronicequipment might not be shielded against the RF signalsfrom the BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader.Pacemakers: Consult a physician or the manufacturer ofyour pacemaker if you have any questions regarding theeffect of RF signals on your pacemaker. If you have apacemaker, verify that you are using the BlackBerry SmartCard Reader in accordance with the safety requirementsassociated with your particular pacemaker, which mightinclude the following requirements:• Always keep the BlackBerry Smart CardReader more than 7.88 inches (20 cm) fromthe pacemaker when the BlackBerry SmartCard Reader is turned on.15
• Do not carry the BlackBerry Smart CardReader in your breast pocket.• If you have any reason to suspect thatinterference is taking place, turn offBluetooth® technology on the BlackBerrySmart Card Reader immediately.Hearing aids: Some digital wireless devices may interferewith some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,consult your wireless service provider or contact themanufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss alternatives.Other medical devices: If you use any other personalmedical device, consult the manufacturer of your device todetermine if the device is adequately shielded from externalRF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you inobtaining this information.Health care facilities: Turn off Bluetooth technology onthe BlackBerry Smart Card Reader in health care facilitieswhen any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to16

Compliance informationExposure to radio frequency signalsThe BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader radio is a low powerradio transmitter and receiver. When the BlackBerry SmartCard Reader radio is turned on, it receives and also sendsout radio frequency (RF) signals. The BlackBerry Smart CardReader is designed to comply with Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) guidelinesrespecting safety levels of RF exposure for wireless devices,which in turn are consistent with the following safetystandards previously set by Canadian, U.S., andinternational standards bodies:• ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1999, American NationalStandards Institute/Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers Standard for SafetyLevels with Respect to Human Exposure to25
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz•National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986,Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria forRadiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limitsof Human Exposure to RadiofrequencyElectromagnetic Fields in the FrequencyRange from 3 kHz to 300 GHz• EN 50371, 2002, Generic Standard toDemonstrate the Compliance of Low PowerElectronic and Electrical Apparatus with theBasic Restrictions Related to HumanExposure to Electromagnetic Fields (10 MHzto 300 GHz) - General Public• International Commission on Non-IonizingRadiation Protection (ICNIRP), 1998,Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-26
Varying Electric, Magnetic, andElectromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)• Official Journal of the European Union(OJEU), 1999, Council Recommendation of 12July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of thegeneral public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hzto 300 GHz)To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, and EU RF exposureguidelines when carrying the BlackBerry Smart CardReader on your body, use only accessories that are suppliedor approved by Research In Motion (RIM). Use ofaccessories that are not expressly approved by RIM mightviolate FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines and mightvoid any warranty applicable to the BlackBerry Smart CardReader. If you do not use a body-worn accessory suppliedor approved by RIM when carrying the BlackBerry SmartCard Reader, keep the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader atleast 0.60 inches (15 mm) from your body when theBlackBerry Smart Card Reader radio is on.27
Specific absorption rate dataTHIS BLACKBERRY SMART CARD READER MEETSGOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TORADIO WAVES.The BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader is a radio transmitterand receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceedthe emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of theCanadian Government (IC), and recommended by TheCouncil of the European Union. These limits are part ofcomprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels ofRF energy for the general population. The guidelines arebased on standards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a28
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety ofall persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for the BlackBerry Smart CardReader employs a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by theFCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by TheCouncil of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**.Tests for SAR are exempted due to the low transmit powerof the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader. As per FCC 2003 TCBTraining, no SAR evaluation is needed if the transmit powerof a transceiver is below the low threshold of 60 / f (GHz)mW.___________________________________* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobiledevices used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averagedover 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kgaveraged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands,wrists, ankles and feet).29
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by thepublic is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams oftissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, anklesand feet). Studies suggest that the standard incorporates asubstantial margin of safety to give additional protectionfor the public and to account for any variations inmeasurements.The long-term characteristics or the possible physiologicaleffects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic fields have notbeen evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).FCC compliance statement (UnitedStates)FCC Class B Part 15This device complies with Part 15 of the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) Rules.
