Important safety precautions
Use only approved batteries and chargers with your BlackBerry smartphone. Use of
batteries or chargers that have not been approved by Research In Motion might present
a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious harm, death, or property loss.
Use only RIM approved holsters. Use of holsters that have not been approved by RIM
might, in the long term, present a risk of serious harm.
When you wear the BlackBerry smartphone close to your body, use a RIM approved
holster with an integrated belt clip, or maintain a distance of 0.59 in. (15 mm) between
your BlackBerry smartphone and your body while the BlackBerry smartphone is
transmitting. Use of body-worn accessories, other than RIM approved holsters with an
integrated belt clip, might cause your BlackBerry smartphone to exceed radio
frequency exposure standards if the accessories are worn on your body while the
BlackBerry smartphone is transmitting. The long term effects of exceeding radio
frequency exposure standards might present a risk of serious harm. For more
information about the compliance of this BlackBerry smartphone with the FCC radio
frequency emission guidelines, visit
for your BlackBerry smartphone listed below. The FCC ID is located on the information
sticker on your BlackBerry smartphone behind the battery. To view the FCC ID, remove
the battery door and the battery.

Do not rely on your BlackBerry smartphone for emergency communications. The
wireless networks that are necessary to make emergency calls or send messages are
not available in all areas, and emergency numbers, such as 911, 112, or 999, might not
connect you to emergency services in all areas. If you have the BlackBerry Mobile Voice
System installed on your BlackBerry smartphone, see the "About emergency calls and
the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System" section for more information about emergency
calls.

contains small parts that might be a choking hazard.
Keep your BlackBerry smartphone away from medical devices, including pacemakers
and hearing aids, because they might malfunction and cause serious harm or death to
you or others.
Do not put your BlackBerry smartphone in contact with liquids because this might
cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.
When you use your BlackBerry smartphone speakerphone, never hold the BlackBerry
smartphone to your ear. Serious and permanent hearing damage could occur.
Exposure to flashing lights on your BlackBerry smartphone can cause epileptic seizures
or blackouts and might be dangerous to you or others. In the event that you experience,
or your use of your BlackBerry smartphone causes in others, any disorientation, loss of
awareness, twitching, convulsions, or any involuntary movements, stop using your
BlackBerry smartphone immediately and consult a physician. The LED notification light
is located on the front of your BlackBerry smartphone, in the upper-right corner. If your
BlackBerry smartphone model has a camera, the camera flash LED aperture is located

lens. If you are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician
before you use your BlackBerry smartphone.

Using your smartphone safely
• Do not place heavy objects on your BlackBerry smartphone.

Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry smartphone or any other RIM approved
charging accessories only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Before you use any
power supply, verify that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed on the power supply.
Connect the BlackBerry smartphone only to CTIA certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo, or
products that have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles because this might result in a
risk of fire or electric shock. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or the plug, pull the plug rather than
the cord when you disconnect the charging accessory from the power outlet or convenience receptacle.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where the power cord connects to the BlackBerry smartphone. Unplug charging accessories
during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. When you use your BlackBerry
smartphone with any charging accessories, ensure that you route the power cord in a way that reduces the
risk of injury to others, such as tripping or choking. Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area
exposed to the elements.
For more information about inserting the battery and connecting the power supply, see the documentation
that came with your BlackBerry smartphone.

The battery might present a fire, explosion, chemical burn, or other hazard if mistreated. Do not put your
battery in contact with liquids.

permanent damage to the battery.
Do not expose the battery to fire or other external heat sources, such as hot plates, stove

Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery. Do not remanufacture,
disassemble, modify, crush, puncture, bend, or shred the battery. If the battery has been
