ACCESSORIES
Use only those accessories approved by RIM. The use of any
accessories not approved by RIM for use in conjunction with the
handheld will invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the
handheld and may be dangerous.
DRIVING
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of any alert
device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public roads is not
permitted.
Avoid using the handheld in any environment requiring your full
attention, such as when driving a vehicle. If you need to use your
handheld while driving, have a passenger in the vehicle use the
handheld for you, or find a safe location to halt your vehicle prior to
using the handheld. Do not use any charging unit as a means of
storing your handheld while in a vehicle.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
For Vehicles Equipped With An Air Bag

including both installed or portable wireless equipment, such as the
BlackBerry Wireless Handheld, in the area over the air bag or in the

However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless handheld.
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, ensure that you are using the
handheld in accordance with the safety requirements associated
with your particular pacemaker, which may include the following:
• Always keep the handheld more than 20 cm (six inches) from
the pacemaker when the handheld is turned ON;
• Do not carry the handheld in a breast pocket;
• If the handheld has a voice option, use the ear opposite the
pacemaker for making and receiving calls to minimize the
potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your handheld OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, consult Nextel®or contact the
manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices

manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
