Electrical safety
Charge the BlackBerry® device using only the USB cable HDW-06610-001, travel

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 wall 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.

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
