Product Information

IC, MIC, MIIT, and EU RF exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the BlackBerry device.

If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when

you carry the BlackBerry device, keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body when the

BlackBerry device is transmitting. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without a USB

cable, hold the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body. If you use a body-worn accessory

not supplied by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry device, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and

keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting.

To reduce RF exposure consider these safety guidelines:

• Use the BlackBerry device in areas where there is a strong wireless signal. The indicator that provides

information about the strength of the wireless signal is located in the upper-right corner of the Home

screen and displays five ascending bars. Three or more bars indicate a strong signal. A reduced signal

display, which might occur in areas such as an underground parking structure or if you are traveling by

train or car, might indicate increased power output from your BlackBerry device as it attempts to connect

to a weak signal.

• Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from

your body (including the abdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of teenagers) when the

BlackBerry device is turned on and connected to the wireless network. For more information about

carrying your BlackBerry device, see the holster information in the "Additional safety guidelines" section

of this document.

• Reduce the amount of time spent on calls.
