Compliance information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
The BlackBerry® device radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When
the BlackBerry device radio is turned on, it receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals. The BlackBerry device is designed to comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Communications (MIC), and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety
levels of RF exposure for wireless 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, American National Standards Institute/
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 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
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3
kHz to 300 GHz
• EN 50360, 2001, Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of
mobile phones with the basic restrictions related to human exposure to
electromagnetic fields (300 MHz to 3 GHz)
21
• 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)
• Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), 1999, Council
Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the
general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz)
•MIC, 2001, Article 14-2 of the Ordinance for Regulating Radio Equipment
To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, MIC, and EU RF exposure guidelines when
you carry the BlackBerry device on your body, use only accessories equipped with
an integrated belt clip that are supplied or approved by Research In Motion
(RIM). Use of accessories that are not expressly approved by RIM might violate
FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable
to the BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with
an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when you carry the
BlackBerry device, keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your
body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting. When using any data feature of
the BlackBerry device, with or without a USB cable, hold the BlackBerry device at
least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body. If you use a body-worn accessory not
supplied by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry device, verify that the accessory
does not contain metal and keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm)
from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting.
To reduce radio frequency (RF) exposure consider these safety guidelines:
• Use the BlackBerry device in areas where there is a strong wireless
signal. The indicator that provides information about the strength of the
wireless signal is located in the upper-right corner of the Home screen
and displays five ascending bars. Three or more bars indicate a strong
22
signal. A reduced signal display, which might occur in areas such as an
underground parking structure or if you are traveling by train or car,
might indicate increased power output from your BlackBerry device as
it attempts to connect to a weak signal.
• Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerry
device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body (including the abdomen
of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of teenagers) when the
BlackBerry device is turned on and connected to the wireless network.
For more information about carrying your BlackBerry device, see the
holster information in the "Additional safety guidelines" section of this
document.
• Reduce the amount of time spent on calls.
Specific absorption rate data
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.
The BlackBerry® device 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, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and
recommended by The Council of the European Union when used as directed in the
previous section. 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.
23
![](/img.php?id=1285899&img=bg1a.png)
The exposure standard for wireless devices 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*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/
kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC/IC with the device 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 device while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the device 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 device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and
locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC,
IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.
The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is
outlined below:

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 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).
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over 10 grams 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). Studies
suggest that the standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.

FCC compliance statement (United States)
FCC Class B Part 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: 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.
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:
28
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
US Information Concerning the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") 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.
This BlackBerry® device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies that the BlackBerry device uses. However, other
wireless technologies may be used in this BlackBerry device that have not been
29
tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your
BlackBerry device thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear
any interfering noise when using this BlackBerry device with your hearing aid or
cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and
exchange policies and for information about hearing aid compatibility.
How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not
labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone
Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.
(Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference.
Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you
find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less
likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regard to
hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has
taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to
telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
