Compliance information
Exposure to radio frequency signals

The smartphone radio is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), Industry Canada (IC), and The Council of the European Union guidelines and limits, as well as other
relevant international guidelines regarding safety levels of radio frequency exposure for wireless devices. These guidelines
were developed by independent scientific experts, governments, and organizations including the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Standard (IEEE), National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, EU, and other relevant international radio frequency exposure guidelines and limits,
keep the smartphone at least 0.59 in. (1.5 cm) away from your body. When you carry the smartphone on your body, use only
accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied or approved by BlackBerry. If you use a body-worn
accessory not supplied by BlackBerry, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the smartphone at least

0.59 in. (1.5 c m) from your body.
To reduce radio frequency exposure: (i) use the smartphone in areas where there is a strong wireless signal; (ii) use hands-

free options; and (iii) reduce the amount of time spent on calls, or send an email, text message, or BBM message instead.

Specific absorption rate data

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED
AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.

The smartphone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, and recommended by The Council of
the European Union when used as directed in the previous section. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and

establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for this smartphone when tested for use at the ear is:

Smartphone SAR (W/kg) for 1 g

Body-worn measurements (recommended separation distances) differ among wireless devices, including smartphones,
depending upon supplied or available accessories and applicable FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union
requirements.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this smartphone based on reported SAR levels complying with the FCC
radio frequency emission guidelines when the smartphone is used as directed in this section. SAR information for this
smartphone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching
for the FCC ID for your smartphone listed below.

Additional information on SAR can be found at www.ctia.org (CTIA - The Wireless Association), or www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/

index.htm (Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications).

___________________________________
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 g of tissue

for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the body or head

(4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). Studies suggest that the standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Requirements for
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Wireless Devices

When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless
devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the
rating displayed on the box together with other relevant approval markings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing
device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.

Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.

This smartphone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the
smartphone uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this smartphone that have not been tested for use
with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your smartphone thoroughly and in different locations to
determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this smartphone with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult
your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies, and for information about hearing aid compatibility.

How the ratings work
M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing

devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings:

Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's
telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better or higher of the two ratings. (Note
that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less
likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

5.150 to 5.350 GHz, wireless access systems (WAS), including radio local area networks (RLANs), shall be restricted to
indoor use. Since the creation of a network is within the domain of the wireless access point and the access point is a master
device, this smartphone never initiates the creation of a network or attaches to a network in ad-hoc mode in the 5.150 to

5.350 GHz frequency band.
