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:
