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 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 and Industry Canada (IC) of the Canadian Government 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*. 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
and IC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC and IC for each model.
The highest SAR value for your BlackBerry smartphone model when tested for use at the ear is outlined as
follows:

RFP121LW)
The highest reported body SAR value for this BlackBerry smartphone 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 the wearing or carrying of this BlackBerry smartphone without using a RIM approved carrying
solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see the holster information in the "Accessories" section of
this document.

Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC and IC requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines when the BlackBerry
smartphone is used as directed in this section. SAR information on this wireless device model is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
FCC ID for your BlackBerry smartphone listed below.

www.ctia.org.
___________________________________
* 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).
FCC compliance statement (United States)
FCC Class B Part 15
This smartphone complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•
This smartphone may not cause harmful interference.
•
This smartphone must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause
interference harmful to radio communications.
There is no guarantee, however, that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning on
and turning off the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
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.
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 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.
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.
SAR (W/kg) for 1 g
1.37
SAR (W/kg) for 1 g
0.75
SAR (W/kg) for 1 g
1.36

FCC ID

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.

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.
