Safety and product information
Safety information
Please read these safety and operation instructions before using the BlackBerry® device or any
accessories provided with the device. Retain these instructions for future use.
In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® enabled and wireless devices
with encryption software. Check with your local authorities.
Electrical safety
Charge the BlackBerry® device using only the USB cable HDW-06610-001, travel charger
ASY-04078-001, ASY-07040-001, or ASY-07559-001, automotive charger ASY-04195-001, or
other charging accessory provided or specifically approved by Research In Motion Limited (RIM)
for use with this BlackBerry device. Any approval from RIM under this document must be in
writing and must be from a person authorized to provide such approval. Use of any other
accessory might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry device and might be
dangerous.
Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry device or any other RIM approved
charging accessories only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Before
using any power supply, verify that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed
on the power supply.

Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles as 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 device. Unplug
charging accessories during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area exposed to the elements.
For more information about inserting the lithium-ion battery and connecting the power supply,
see the documentation that came with the BlackBerry device.
Battery safety and disposal
The BlackBerry® device contains a removable lithium-ion battery. Do not dispose of either the
BlackBerry device or the lithium-ion battery in a fire. Dispose of the lithium-ion battery in
accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types.
The lithium-ion battery might present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, crush, or puncture the lithium-ion battery. Do not heat the lithium-ion battery
above 140°F (60°C). Do not allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals.
Use only the lithium-ion battery that Research In Motion (RIM) specifies for use with your
particular BlackBerry device model. RIM specifies lithium-ion batteries for use in BlackBerry
devices in compliance with IEEE® Std 1725™-200x. Using any other lithium-ion battery might
invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry device and might present a risk of fire or
explosion.

StoretheBlackBerrydevicesafelybeforedrivingyourvehicle.Donotuseanychargingaccessory
as a means of storing the BlackBerry device while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped
with an air bag, do not place the BlackBerry device or other objects above the air bag, or in the
air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly stored or installed, and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Radio frequency (RF) signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. If any equipment has been added to your vehicle, you should also consult
the manufacturer of that equipment for information on RF signals.
Accessories
Use only those accessories approved by Research In Motion (RIM). Using any accessories not
approved by RIM for use with this particular BlackBerry® device model might invalidate any
approval or warranty applicable to the device, might result in the non-operation of the device,
and might be dangerous.

Antenna care
Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or attachments
could damage the BlackBerry® device and might violate U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations.
Operating and storage temperatures
Situate the BlackBerry® device or device accessories away from heat sources, such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
If you are not going to use the BlackBerry device for more than two weeks, turn off the device
power, remove the battery, and follow the operating and storage temperatures listed in the
following table:
Device operating 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C)
Device storage 50 to 86°F (10 to 30°C)

Interference with electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from the BlackBerry®
device.
Pacemakers: Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you have any
questions regarding the effect of RF signals on your pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, verify
that you are using the BlackBerry device in accordance with the safety requirements associated
with your particular pacemaker, which might include the following requirements:
•Always keep the BlackBerry device more than 7 inches (20 cm) from the pacemaker when
the device is turned on.
• Do not carry the BlackBerry device in your breast pocket.
•When using the phone on the BlackBerry device, use the ear opposite the pacemaker for
making and receiving calls to minimize the potential interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off all wireless
connections on the BlackBerry device immediately.
Hearing aids: Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, consult your wireless service provider or contact the manufacturer of your
hearing aid to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if the device is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
