Important safety precautions
Use only approved batteries and chargers with your BlackBerry® smartphone. 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.
When you wear the BlackBerry smartphone close to your body, use a RIM approved holster with an integrated belt clip, or maintain a distance of 0.59 in. (15 mm) between your
5
BlackBerry smartphone and your body while the BlackBerry smartphone is transmitting. Use of body-worn accessories, other than RIM approved holsters with an integrated belt clip, might cause your BlackBerry smartphone to exceed radio frequency exposure standards if the accessories are worn on your body while the BlackBerry smartphone 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 smartphone with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines, visit www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching for the FCC ID for your BlackBerry smartphone listed below. The FCC ID is located on the information sticker on your BlackBerry smartphone behind the battery. To view the FCC ID, remove the battery door and the battery.
•BlackBerry® Bold™ 9790 smartphone (model number REC71UW): FCC ID L6AREC70UW
•BlackBerry Bold 9790 smartphone (model number RED71UW): FCC ID L6ARED70UW
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone in surrounding temperatures that exceed 95° F (35°C). Use above this surrounding temperature could cause your BlackBerry smartphone to become hot, which could result in serious injury, death, or damage to property.
Do not rely on your BlackBerry smartphone for emergency communications. The wireless networks that are necessary to make emergency calls or send messages are not available
6
in all areas, and emergency numbers, such as 911, 112, or 999, might not connect you to emergency services in all areas. If you have the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System installed on your BlackBerry smartphone, see the "About emergency calls and the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System" section for more information about emergency calls.
Do not disassemble your BlackBerry smartphone. Your BlackBerry smartphone contains small parts that might be a choking hazard.
Keep your BlackBerry smartphone away from medical devices, including pacemakers and hearing aids, because they might malfunction and cause serious harm or death to you or others.
Do not put your BlackBerry smartphone in contact with liquids because this might cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.
When you use your BlackBerry smartphone speakerphone, never hold the BlackBerry smartphone to your ear. Serious and permanent hearing damage could occur.
Exposure to flashing lights on your BlackBerry smartphone can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts and might be dangerous to you or others. In the event that you experience, or your use of your BlackBerry smartphone causes in others, any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching, convulsions, or any involuntary movements, stop using your BlackBerry smartphone immediately and consult
7
a physician. The LED notification light is located on the front of your BlackBerry smartphone, in the upper-right corner. If your BlackBerry smartphone model has a camera, the camera flash LED aperture is located on the back of your BlackBerry smartphone, either above or to the right of the camera lens. If you are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician before you use your BlackBerry smartphone.
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone while driving unless you are permitted by law to use the BlackBerry smartphone in hands-free mode. Using your BlackBerry smartphone while driving could put you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death, or property loss.
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone in the presence of gas fumes because it might present a risk of fire or explosion.
Do not dispose of your BlackBerry smartphone in a fire because this might cause an explosion resulting in serious injury, death, or property loss.

BlackBerry smartphones are not intrinsically safe and cannot be used in the presence of explosive fumes, explosive dust, or other explosive chemicals. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in serious injury, death, or damage to property.
Using your smartphone safely
•Do not place heavy objects on your BlackBerry® smartphone.
•Do not attempt to modify or service your BlackBerry smartphone.
•Do not attempt to cover or push objects into openings on your BlackBerry smartphone unless instructed to do so in the BlackBerry smartphone documentation supplied by Research In Motion. This action might cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.
•Do not use sharp objects on the screen.
•Do not use excessive force on the screen.
•Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry smartphone accessories near water (for example, near a bathtub or a sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool).

Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry smartphone or any other RIM approved charging accessories only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Before you use any power supply, verify that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage printed on the power supply. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone only to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles because 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.
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 smartphone. Unplug charging accessories during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. When you use your BlackBerry smartphone with any charging accessories, ensure that you
11
route the power cord in a way that reduces the risk of injury to others, such as tripping or choking. Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area exposed to the elements.
For more information about inserting the battery and connecting the power supply, see the documentation that came with your BlackBerry smartphone.
To buy accessories for your BlackBerry smartphone, contact your wireless service provider or visit www.shopblackberry.com.
Battery safety
Your BlackBerry® smartphone contains a removable lithium-ion battery.
The battery might present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do 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 smartphone model. RIM specifies batteries for use in BlackBerry smartphones in compliance with IEEE® Std 1725™-200x. Using any other battery might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry smartphone and might present a risk of fire or explosion.
Children should not handle batteries unless they are supervised by an adult.
When this icon appears on your BlackBerry smartphone, the battery is not inserted correctly or an invalid battery is inserted. If you inserted the battery that is specified for use
12
with your particular BlackBerry smartphone model, remove and reinsert the battery. If you inserted an invalid battery, remove it immediately and insert the battery that RIM specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry smartphone model. Verify that the battery connectors align with the connectors on your BlackBerry smartphone.
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® smartphone while you drive. Instead, consider having a passenger in the vehicle use your BlackBerry smartphone for you, or find a safe location to stop your vehicle before you use your BlackBerry smartphone.
Store your BlackBerry smartphone safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory as a means of storing your BlackBerry smartphone while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not place your BlackBerry smartphone 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.
13
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone 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® smartphone model might invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the BlackBerry smartphone, might result in the BlackBerry smartphone becoming inoperative, and might be dangerous.
Carrying solutions: Your BlackBerry smartphone might not come with a holster (body-worn accessory). If you wear your BlackBerry smartphone on your body, always put your BlackBerry smartphone in a BlackBerry smartphone holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by Research In Motion. If you do not use a holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when you carry your BlackBerry smartphone, keep your BlackBerry smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry smartphone is transmitting. When using any data feature of your BlackBerry smartphone (for example, email messages, PIN messages, MMS messages, or browser service), with or without a USB cable, hold your BlackBerry smartphone at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body. Using accessories that are not supplied by or approved by RIM might cause your BlackBerry smartphone to exceed radio frequency exposure guidelines. For more information about radio frequency exposure, see the "Compliance information" section of this guide.
