Important safety precautions
Before you use your BlackBerry® device, it is important that
you read the compliance information and the guidelines for
the safe use of your BlackBerry device that are found in this
guide. To find the latest safety and product information, visit
www.blackberry.com/docs/smartphones.
Use only approved batteries with your BlackBerry device. Use
of batteries that have not been approved by Research In
Motion might present a risk of fire or explosion, which could
cause serious harm, death, or property loss.
Use only RIM approved holsters. Use of holsters that have not
been approved by RIM might, in the long term, present a risk
of serious harm.
Use only RIM approved chargers. Use of chargers that have not
been approved by RIM might present a risk of fire or explosion,
which could cause serious harm, death, or property loss.
When you wear the BlackBerry device close to your body, use
a RIM approved holster with an integrated belt clip or maintain
a distance of 0.98 in. (25 mm) between your BlackBerry device
and your body while the BlackBerry device is transmitting. Use
of body-worn accessories, other than RIM approved holsters
with an integrated belt clip, might cause your BlackBerry
device to exceed radio frequency (RF) exposure standards if
the accessories are worn on your body while the BlackBerry
device is transmitting. The long term effects of exceeding RF
3

exposure standards might present a risk of serious harm. For
more information about the compliance of this BlackBerry
device with the FCC RF emission guidelines, visit www.fcc.gov/
oet/ea/fccid and search for the FCC ID for your BlackBerry
device as listed below:
• BlackBerry® Style™ 9670 smartphone: FCC ID
L6ARCU20CW
Do not rely on your BlackBerry device for emergency
communications. The wireless networks that are necessary to
make emergency calls or send messages are not available in
all areas, and emergency numbers (such as 911, 112, or 999)
might not connect you to emergency services in all areas.
Do not disassemble your BlackBerry device. Your BlackBerry
device contains small parts that might be a choking hazard.
Keep your BlackBerry device away from medical devices,
including pacemakers and hearing aids, as they might
malfunction causing serious harm or death to you or others.
Do not put your BlackBerry device in contact with liquids as
this might cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.
When you use your BlackBerry device speakerphone, never
hold the BlackBerry device to your ear. Serious and permanent
hearing damage could occur.

Exposure to flashing lights on the BlackBerry device can cause
epileptic seizures or blackouts and might be dangerous to you
or others. If you are susceptible to epileptic seizures or
blackouts, consult your physician before you use the
BlackBerry device.
Do not use your BlackBerry device while driving unless you are
permitted by law to use the BlackBerry device in hands-free
mode. Using your BlackBerry device while driving could put
you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious
injury, death, or property loss.
Do not use your BlackBerry device in the presence of gas fumes
as it might present a risk of fire or explosion.
Do not use or store your BlackBerry device in temperatures
that exceed 104° F (40°C) as the BlackBerry device might
become hot.
Do not dispose of your BlackBerry device in a fire as this might
cause an explosion resulting in serious injury, death, or
property loss.
Turn off your BlackBerry device in aircrafts. Using your
BlackBerry device on an aircraft might affect aircraft
instrumentation, communication, and performance; might
disrupt the network; might otherwise be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, its crew, and its passengers; and
might be illegal.
5

BlackBerry devices are not inherently safe and cannot be used
in the presence of explosive fumes, explosive dust, or other
explosive chemicals. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in serious injury, death, or damage
to property.

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 you use any power supply, verify that
the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed on the power
supply. Connect the BlackBerry device only to products that bear the USB-IF
logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
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-ion battery and connecting
the power supply, see the documentation that came with the BlackBerry
device.
