Antenna Care; Operating And Storage Temperatures; Interference With Electronic Equipment - Blackberry 6230 Safety And Product Information

Safety and Product Information
Store the handheld safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory as a means of
storing the handheld while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not
place the handheld or other objects above the air bag, or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly stored or installed, and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.
Radio frequency (RF) signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. If
any equipment has been added to your vehicle, you should also consult the manufacturer of that
equipment for information on RF signals.

Interference with electronic equipment

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment
might not be shielded against the RF signals from the handheld.
Pacemakers: Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you have any questions
regarding the effect of RF signals on your pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, verify that you are
using the handheld in accordance with the safety requirements associated with your particular
pacemaker, which might include the following:
• Always keep the handheld more than 7 inches (20 cm) from the pacemaker when the handheld is
turned on.
• Do not carry the handheld in your breast pocket.
• When using the handheld as a phone, use the ear opposite the pacemaker for making and receiving
calls to minimize the potential interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the handheld radio off
immediately.
Hearing aids: Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, consult your service provider or contact the manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
