Safety and Product Information

Safety information

Please read these safety and operation instructions before using the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld™ or any accessories provided with the handheld. Retain these instructions for future use.

In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® devices. Check with your local authorities.

Electrical safety

Charge the handheld using only the USB cable HDW-06610-001, Travel charger ASY-04078-001, Automotive charger ASY-04195-001, or other charging accessory provided or specifically approved by Research In Motion Limited (RIM) for use with this handheld. Any approval from RIM under this document must be in writing and must be from a person authorized to provide such approval. Use of any other accessory will invalidate any warranty provided with the handheld and might be dangerous.

Use the charging accessories provided with the handheld or any other approved charging accessories only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Before using any power supply, verify that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed on the power supply.

Do not overload wall 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 wall 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 handheld. 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.

Refer to the documentation that came with the handheld for more information on inserting the battery and connecting the power supply.

Battery safety and disposal

The handheld contains a removable lithium-ion battery. Do not dispose of either the handheld or the lithium battery in a fire. Dispose of the lithium battery in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types.

The battery might present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery. Do not heat the battery above 60°C (140°F). Do not allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals.

Use only the battery that RIM specifies for use with your particular handheld model. Using any other battery will invalidate any warranty provided with the handheld and might present a risk of fire or explosion.

Driving safety

Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless handhelds in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using the handheld as a phone while driving, please use the following guidelines:

•Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility.

•Use hands-free operation if it is available.

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a phone call.

Do not use the other features of the handheld while driving. Have a passenger in the vehicle use the handheld for you, or find a safe location to stop your vehicle prior to using the handheld.
