Important safety/compliance
information
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. Your wireless handheld complies
with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of RF
exposure for handheld wireless devices, which in turn are
consistent with the following safety standards previously set by
Canadian, U.S., and international standards bodies:
• ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus or any accessories to rain or moisture. Adjust only those
controls that are covered in this manual. An improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the handheld or charging unit
to its normal operation.

Important safety information
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) Report 86, -1986, Biological Effects and Exposure
Criteria for Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure
to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency
Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998, Guidelines for limiting exposure to
time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up
to 300 GHz)
To maintain compliance with FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines,
use only RIM supplied or approved accessories intended for use
with your BlackBerry 6510 Wireless Handheld. The RIM handheld
is designed to be carried in an approved holster when carried on
your body. When carrying the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld while
switched on, use the specific RIM holster that has been tested for
compliance. Use of accessories that are not approved by RIM for use
in conjunction with your handheld may violate FCC and IC RF
exposure guidelines and may void your warranty.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA
THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless handheld is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and
Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC). These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of

Important safety/compliance information
Getting Started Guide 13
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile handhelds employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the
FCC/IC with the handheld transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the handheld while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the handheld is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a wireless handheld model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC/IC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC/IC for
each model. The highest SAR value for this model handheld when
tested for use at the ear is 0.919 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.491 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among wireless handheld and phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
handheld with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model handheld is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID L6AR6510IN.

14 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Important safety information
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) web site at http://www.wow-com.com.
___________________________________
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
handhelds used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10
grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna
modifications or attachments could damage the handheld and may
violate applicable laws and regulations by causing radio frequency
(RF) energy to be above the recommended limits. Any such
unauthorized use, modification or attachment will invalidate the
warranty provided with the handheld and may be dangerous.
If the external antenna components have been damaged in any way,
refer the handheld for service to qualified service personnel.
Operation with a damaged antenna could damage the handheld
and may result in dangerous usage conditions.
AIRCRAFT
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)/FCC regulations prohibit
using the radio of your handheld while in the air. Switch the radio
of your handheld OFF before boarding an aircraft. The effect of the
use of your handheld radio in an aircraft is unknown. Such use may
affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance,
may disrupt the network, may otherwise be dangerous to the
