Important safety precautions

Use only approved batteries and chargers with your BlackBerry smartphone. Use of batteries or

chargers that have not been approved by BlackBerry might present a risk of fire or explosion, which

could cause serious harm, death, or property loss.
Use only BlackBerry approved holsters. Use of holsters that have not been approved by BlackBerry

might, in the long term, present a risk of serious harm.

When you wear the BlackBerry smartphone close to your body, use a BlackBerry approved holster

with an integrated belt clip, or maintain a distance of 0.59 in. (15 mm) between your BlackBerry

smartphone and your body while the BlackBerry smartphone is transmitting. Use of body-worn

accessories, other than BlackBerry 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

and search 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.

Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry smartphone or any other BlackBerry 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 CTIA certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo, or products that 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.
