by RIM might violate FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable
to the BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by RIM
when you carry the BlackBerry device, keep the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your
body when the BlackBerry device is turned on and connected to a wireless network. When using

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
The BlackBerry® device 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 of the
Canadian Government (IC). 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 standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
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
