least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting.
To reduce radio frequency 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 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, or send a text message or BBM message instead.
Potentially explosive atmospheres: If you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, turn off
all wireless connections on your BlackBerry device and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fueling areas such as gasoline or petrol stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not use the phone on your BlackBerry device to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Leave the
area and, if the phone is available and active on your BlackBerry device, make the call from a safe
location.
Blasting areas: When in a "blasting area" or an area that indicates that two-way radios should be turned
off, to avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off all wireless connections on your BlackBerry
device and obey all signs and instructions.
Operating and storage temperatures
Do not use your BlackBerry device in surrounding temperatures that exceed 95°F (35°C). Use above this
surrounding temperature could cause your BlackBerry device to become hot, which could result in serious
injury, death, or damage to property. Do not store your BlackBerry device in surrounding temperatures
that exceed 86°F (30°C).
Keep your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry device accessories away from heat sources, such as radiators,

RIM Strictly Confidential
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.
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:

The maximum antenna gain permitted for BlackBerry devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply
with the EIRP limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.
Be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to
LE-LAN devices.
The highest reported SAR value for this BlackBerry device when clipped on a belt, in a Research In Motion
approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is outlined below. Carrying solutions, including
RIM approved carrying solutions and carrying solutions not approved by RIM, that do not come equipped
with an integrated belt clip SHOULD NOT be worn or carried on the body. For more information regarding

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. 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), 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 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.
Additional regulatory conformance
Specific details about compliance to the following standards and regulatory bodies for your BlackBerry
device may be obtained from Research In Motion:

Applicable conformance information
* 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).
•
PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB)
•
Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
(R&TTE) Directive 1999/5/EC
** 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
Mobile network radio specifications:
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.
Wi-Fi network radio specifications:
•
Wireless LAN standard: IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n
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.
•
Transmitting and receiving frequency for IEEE 802.11b/IEEE 802.11g/IEEE 802.11n: 2.412 to
2.472 GHz
•
Transmitting and receiving frequency for IEEE 802.11a/IEEE 802.11n: 5.180 to 5.825 GHz
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 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.
Bluetooth radio specifications:
•
Single-band support: ISM 2.4 GHz
•
Transmitting and receiving frequency: 2402 to 2480 MHz
•
Bluetooth Class 2
If your device supports NFC technology, the following specifications apply:
•
Operating frequency: 13.56 MHz
•
Supported modes: reader/writer, card emulation, peer-to-peer
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.
