Important safety precautions
Use only approved chargers with your BlackBerry smartphone. Use of 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 15 mm (0.59 in) 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

°F). Use of your BlackBerry smartphone outside of the recommended temperature range could cause
damage to your BlackBerry smartphone and its non-removable lithium-ion 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 999, 112 or 911, 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.
Do not disassemble your BlackBerry smartphone. Your BlackBerry smartphone contains small parts that
might be a choking hazard. The rear cover of the smartphone is not removable.
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 doctor. The
LED notification light is located on the front of your BlackBerry smartphone, in the top right-hand corner. If
your BlackBerry smartphone model has a camera, the camera flash LED aperture is located on the back
of your BlackBerry smartphone, either above or to the right of the camera lens. If you are susceptible to
epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your doctor before you use your BlackBerry smartphone.
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone while driving unless you are permitted by law to use the
BlackBerry smartphone in hands-free mode. Using your BlackBerry smartphone while driving could put
you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death or property loss.

Using your smartphone safely
• Do not place heavy objects on your BlackBerry smartphone.
• Do not attempt to modify or service 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, ensure 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
programme.
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 connecting the power supply, see the documentation that came with your BlackBerry
smartphone.

with liquids.
Do not expose the smartphone and its battery to fire or other external heat sources, such as hot plates,
