Compliance information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
The BlackBerry® smartphone radio is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When the BlackBerry smartphone radio is turned on, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency signals. The BlackBerry smartphone 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
25
• 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)
• 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 smartphone on your
body, use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are
supplied or approved by Research In Motion. Use of accessories that are
not expressly approved by RIM might violate FCC, IC, and EU radio
frequency exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to
the BlackBerry smartphone. 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 smartphone, keep the BlackBerry smartphone at
least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry smartphone is
transmitting. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry smartphone,
with or without a USB cable, hold the BlackBerry smartphone at least 0.59
in. (15 mm) from your body. If you use a body-worn accessory not supplied

To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:
• Use the BlackBerry smartphone 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 smartphone as it attempts to
connect to a weak signal.
• Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerry
smartphone 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 smartphone is turned on and
connected to the wireless network. For more information about
carrying your BlackBerry smartphone, see the holster information

• 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.
27
The BlackBerry® smartphone 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.
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.

* 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).
31
** 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.

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
32
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

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.
33
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® smartphone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the BlackBerry
smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this
BlackBerry smartphone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids.
It is important to try the different features of your BlackBerry smartphone
thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any
interfering noise when using this BlackBerry smartphone 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.
34
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 smartphone, your BlackBerry
smartphone may be operated on Wi-Fi networks in all European Union
member countries. If you have a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry smartphone, in
France, outdoor operation of a wireless device is only permitted using the
2.4 to 2.454 GHz frequency band. If your BlackBerry smartphone 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. This
equipment may be operated in Turkey.
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),
37
![](/img.php?id=1575085&img=bg28.png)
shall be restricted to indoor use. Since the creation of a network is within
the domain of the wireless access point and the access point is a master
device, the BlackBerry smartphone 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.
