Important safety precautions
Use only approved batteries and chargers with your
BlackBerry® device. Use of batteries or chargers 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 a RIM approved holster with an integrated belt clip, or
maintain a distance of 0.59 in. (15 mm) between your
3
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
exposure standards if the accessories are worn on your body
while the BlackBerry device is transmitting. The long term
effects of exceeding radio frequency exposure standards
might present a risk of serious harm. For more information
about the compliance of this BlackBerry device with the FCC
radio frequency emission guidelines, visit www.fcc.gov/oet/

not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery. If the battery has been
disassembled, crushed, or punctured, cease use of the battery immediately.
Do not heat the battery above 140°F (60°C). Heating the battery above
140°F (60°C) could cause the battery to catch fire or explode. Do not allow
metal objects to contact the battery terminals.
Use only the battery that Research In Motion specifies for use with your
particular BlackBerry device model. RIM specifies batteries for use in
BlackBerry devices in compliance with IEEE® Std 1725™-200x. Using any
other battery might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry
device and might present a risk of fire or explosion.
Children should not handle batteries unless they are supervised by an adult.

Driving and walking safely
Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility.
You are responsible for knowing and obeying the laws and regulations
regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive.
Research In Motion recommends that you do not use your BlackBerry®
device while you drive. Instead, consider having a passenger in the vehicle
use your BlackBerry device for you, or find a safe location to stop your
vehicle before you use your BlackBerry device.
Store your BlackBerry device safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use
any charging accessory as a means of storing your BlackBerry device while
you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not place
your BlackBerry device or other objects above the air bag, or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly stored or
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Radio frequency signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle. If any equipment has been
added to your vehicle, you should also consult the manufacturer of that
equipment for information on radio frequency signals.
Do not use your BlackBerry device while walking or engaging in any activity
that requires your full attention. Inattention to vehicular traffic or other
pedestrian hazards could result in serious injury, death, or property loss.
Accessories
Use only those accessories approved by Research In Motion. Using any
accessories not approved by RIM for use with this particular BlackBerry®
device model might invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the
BlackBerry device, might result in the BlackBerry device becoming
inoperative, and might be dangerous.

approved by RIM when you carry your BlackBerry device, keep your
BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the
BlackBerry device is transmitting. When using any data feature of your
BlackBerry device (for example, email messages, PIN messages, MMS
messages, or browser service), with or without a USB cable, hold your
BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body. Using
