If you use abody-worn accessory not supplied by RIM when you carry the BlackBerrydevice, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep theBlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when theBlackBerry device is transmitting.To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:22

• Use the BlackBerry device in areas where there is a strongwireless signal. The indicator that provides information about thestrength of the wireless signal is located in the upper-right cornerof the home screen and displays five ascending bars. Three ormore bars indicate a strong signal. A reduced signal display, whichmight occur in areas such as an underground parking structure orif you are traveling by train or car, might indicate increased poweroutput from your BlackBerry device as it attempts to connect to aweak signal.• Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerrydevice at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body (including theabdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen ofteenagers) when the BlackBerry device is turned on andconnected to the wireless network. For more information aboutcarrying your BlackBerry device, see the holster information inthe "Accessories" section of this document.• Reduce the amount of time spent on calls.Specific absorption rate dataTHIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.The BlackBerry® device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designedand manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the CanadianGovernment (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union23

when used as directed in the previous section. These limits are part ofcomprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy forthe general population. The guidelines are based on standards that weredeveloped by independent scientific organizations through periodic andthorough evaluation of scientific studies.The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurementknown as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by theFCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of theEuropean Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardoperating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device transmitting atits highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although theSAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR levelof the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This isbecause the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as touse only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closeryou 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 betested and certified to the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Unionthat it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adoptedrequirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of theInternational Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the earand worn on the body) as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of theEuropean Union for each model.The highest SAR value for your BlackBerry device model when tested foruse at the ear is outlined as follows:24

It is important to try29

the different features of your BlackBerry device thoroughly and in differentlocations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using thisBlackBerry device with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult yourwireless service provider about its return and exchange policies and forinformation about hearing aid compatibility.How the ratings workM-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements andare likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wirelessdevices 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 arelikely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or"Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better orhigher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils inthem.)Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type ofinterference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing healthprofessional may help you find results for your hearing device. The moreimmune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experienceinterference noise from wireless devices.For more information about the actions that the FCC has taken with regardto hearing aid compatibility with wireless devices and other steps that theFCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access totelecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.30
