Safety and Product Information
regarding the wearing or carrying of this BlackBerry device without using a RIM approved carrying
solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see the holster information in the “Additional safety
guidelines” section of this document.
Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines when the BlackBerry device is
used as directed in this section. SAR information on this wireless device model 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 device listed below. Additional information on SAR can be found on the CTIA - The Wireless
Association
®
web site at www.ctia.org. In Japan, additional information on SAR can be found on the
Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) web site at
www.arib-emf.org/index.html, or on the
Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) web site at
www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/index.htm.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue
for the extremities – hands, wrists, ankles and feet).
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10
grams of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams 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.
The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
fields have not been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).
