Important safety precautions

Use only approved batteries and chargers with your BlackBerry smartphone. Use of batteries or
chargers that have not been approved by BlackBerry might present a risk of fire or explosion, which
could cause serious harm, death, or property loss.
Use only BlackBerry approved holsters. Use of holsters that have not been approved by BlackBerry
might, in the long term, present a risk of serious harm.
When you wear the BlackBerry smartphone close to your body, use a BlackBerry 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 BlackBerry 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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
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.
