Please read the safety and operation instructions before using your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or any accessories

In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth enabled and wireless devices with encryption software.
Check with your local authorities.
Use only chargers approved by Research In Motion. Use of chargers that have not been approved by
RIM might present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious injury, death, and property
loss.
Do not disassemble your tablet. Your tablet contains small parts that may be a choking hazard.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from your tablet.
Keep your tablet away from medical devices, including pacemakers and hearing aids, as they might
malfunction causing serious injury or death to you and others.
When in health care facilities, turn off all wireless connections on your tablet if any regulations or
notices posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Do not use your tablet or accessories near water (for example, near a bathtub or a sink, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool) or spill liquid of any kind on your tablet or accessories as this
might cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock, which could cause serious injury, death, and
property loss.
Exposure to flashing lights on your tablet can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts. If you or other
users are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician before you use your
tablet. If you or others experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching, convulsions, or
any involuntary movements, stop using your tablet immediately and consult a physician. The LED
notification light is located on the front of your tablet, next to the camera.
• Always keep your tablet more than 7.88 inches (20 cm) from the pacemaker when your
tablet is turned on.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference with the pacemaker is taking place, turn
off all wireless connections on your tablet immediately.
