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 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 radio frequency 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, 2005, 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, 2009, 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)
25
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), 2009, 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 radio frequency
exposure guidelines when you carry the BlackBerry device on your body,
use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied

To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:
26
• 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 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 0.59 in. (15 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 "Accessories" 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
27
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.
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 your BlackBerry device model when tested for
use at the ear is outlined as follows:

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by
the public is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 g of tissue for the body or head
(4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists,
ankles, and feet).
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0W/kg
averaged over 10 g of tissue for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over
10 g 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.

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 tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
34
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.

If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry device, your BlackBerry device may
be operated on Wi-Fi networks in all European Union member countries.
When operated in France, this equipment uses nonharmonized frequency
bands. This equipment may be operated in Turkey.
If you have a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device, in France, outdoor operation
of a wireless device is only permitted using the 2.4 to 2.454 GHz frequency
band. If your BlackBerry device operates in infrastructure mode as well as in
Mobile Hotspot/wireless access point mode, it will transmit in the 2.4 to
2.454 GHz frequency band.
The Official Journal of the European Union Commission Decision of 12
February 2007 states that in the frequency band 5.150 to 5.350 GHz,
wireless access systems (WAS), including radio local area networks (RLANs),
shall be restricted to indoor use. Since the creation of a network is within
38
the domain of the wireless access point and the access point is a master
device, the BlackBerry device never initiates the creation of a network or
attaches to a network in ad-hoc mode in the 5.150 to 5.350 GHz frequency
band.
