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 by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry smartphone, verify that the accessory does not contain
metal and keep the BlackBerry smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry
smartphone is transmitting.
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.
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.
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 in the
"Accessories" section of this document.
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.
Specific absorption rate data
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.
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.
How the ratings work
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on calls, or send a text message or BBM message instead.
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 (IC) of the Canadian Government, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 governmentadopted 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.
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.)
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.

* 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.
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 smartphones.

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. 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 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.
Additional regulatory conformance
Specific details about compliance to the standards and regulatory bodies for your BlackBerry smartphone

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.
