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.
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 your service provider or
contact the manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your handheld OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive
to external RF energy.
Posted Facilities
Turn your handheld OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn the wireless
feature of your handheld OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your handheld OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as
gasoline/petrol stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Battery: Discard the handheld properly. As the unit contains a
lithium-ion battery, neither the handheld nor the lithium battery
should be disposed of in fire. Dispose of the lithium battery in
accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing
disposal of such cell types. To recharge the battery, use approved
battery chargers only. Keep the battery away from children.
Power source: The charging unit and any other charging units
should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label and are intended for indoor use only. Do not use
the travel charger or any other charging units outside or in any area
exposed to the elements. Refer to the operating instructions in this
manual for more information on the battery and power supply.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this may 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 apparatus from
the wall outlet or convenience receptacle.
Liquids and foreign objects: Never push objects of any kind into
the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld or any accessories through
openings as they may short-out parts and this may result in a fire or
electric shock. Do not use the handheld or any accessories near
water (for example near a bathtub, or a sink, in a wet basement, near
a swimming pool, etc.). Never spill liquid of any kind on the
handheld or any accessories. Unplug the charging unit from the
wall before cleaning.
Warning: The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if
mistreated. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or heat the battery
above 60 degrees Celsius. Do not allow metal objects to contact the
battery terminals. Only use a battery that has been approved by
Research In Motion Limited. The use of another battery may present a
risk of fire or explosion.

injury to a child or adult, and/or serious damage to the handheld,
charging unit, or any accessories. Take care when using the
handheld with any charging units to place the charging unit in a
secure and stable spot and route the power cord in a way that
reduces the risk of injury to others, such as by tripping or choking.

away from any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus. Unplug this apparatus
during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Service: Unplug the charging unit from the wall and refer the
handheld, charging unit, and any accessories for service to qualified
service personnel if:
• the power supply cord, plug, or connector to the handheld is
damaged
• liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the handheld,
charging unit, or any electrical accessories
• the handheld, charging unit or accessory has been exposed to
rain or water
• the handheld, charging unit, or accessory becomes very hot to
the touch
