Important safety information
10 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
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
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment, such as the BlackBerry Wireless
Handheld, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-
vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless handheld.
