Important safety precautions
Tip Description
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.
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 exposure standards might present a risk of serious harm. For

Safety information
Please read these safety and operation instructions before using the BlackBerry® device or any
accessories provided with the device. Retain these instructions for future use.
In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® enabled and wireless devices
with encryption software. Check with your local authorities.
Electrical safety
Charge the BlackBerry® device using only the charging accessories provided or specifically
approved by Research In Motion for use with this BlackBerry device. 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 might invalidate any warranty provided with the
BlackBerry device and might be dangerous.
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
using any power supply, verify that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed
on the power supply.
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.
7
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.

Battery safety and disposal
The BlackBerry® device contains a removable lithium-ion battery. Do not dispose of either the
BlackBerry device or the lithium-ion battery in a fire. Dispose of the lithium-ion battery in
accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types.
The lithium-ion battery might present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, crush, or puncture the lithium-ion battery. Do not heat the lithium-ion battery
above 140°F (60°C). Do not allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals.
