Research In Motion 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-polymer 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-polymer battery. Do not dispose of either
the BlackBerry device or the lithium-polymer battery in a fire. Dispose of the lithium-polymer
battery in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell
types.
The lithium-polymer battery might present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, crush, or puncture the lithium-polymer battery. Do not heat the lithium-polymer
battery above 140°F (60°C). Do not allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals.
Use only the lithium-polymer battery that Research In Motion specifies for use with your
particular BlackBerry device model. RIM specifies lithium-polymer batteries for use in
BlackBerry devices in compliance with IEEE® Std 1725™-200x. Using any other lithium-polymer
battery might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry device and might present
a risk of fire or explosion.
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
