Important safety precautions
Use only approved batteries and chargers with your

not been approved by RIM might, in the long term, present a
risk of serious harm.

use a RIM approved holster with an integrated belt clip, or
maintain a distance of 0.59 in. (15 mm) between your

RIM approved holsters with an integrated belt clip, might
cause your BlackBerry device to exceed radio frequency
exposure standards if the accessories are worn on your body
while the BlackBerry device 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 device with the FCC
