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 
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.

Your BlackBerry smartphone is designed to be operated in temperatures between 32 and 95°F (0 
and 35°C). Use of your BlackBerry smartphone outside of the recommended temperature range 
could cause damage to your BlackBerry smartphone or lithium-ion battery.
 
 
Do not rely on your BlackBerry smartphone for emergency communications. The wireless networks 
that are necessary to make emergency calls or send messages are not available in all areas, and 
emergency numbers, such as 911, 112, or 999, might not connect you to emergency services in all 
areas. If you have the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System installed on your BlackBerry smartphone, see 
the "About emergency calls and the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System" section for more information 
about emergency calls.
 
 
Do not disassemble your BlackBerry smartphone. Your BlackBerry smartphone contains small parts 
that might be a choking hazard.
 
 
Keep your BlackBerry smartphone away from medical devices, including pacemakers and hearing 
aids, because they might malfunction and cause serious harm or death to you or others.
 
 
Do not put your BlackBerry smartphone in contact with liquids because this might cause a short 
circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.
 
 
When you use your BlackBerry smartphone speakerphone, never hold the BlackBerry smartphone to 
your ear. Serious and permanent hearing damage could occur.
 
 
Exposure to flashing lights on your BlackBerry smartphone can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts 
and might be dangerous to you or others. In the event that you experience, or your use of your 
BlackBerry smartphone causes in others, any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching, 
convulsions, or any involuntary movements, stop using your BlackBerry smartphone immediately 
and consult a physician. The LED notification light is located on the front of your BlackBerry 
smartphone, in the upper-right corner. If your BlackBerry smartphone model has a camera, the 
camera flash LED aperture is located on the back of your BlackBerry smartphone, either above or to 
the right of the camera lens. If you are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your 
physician before you use your BlackBerry smartphone.
 
 
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone while driving unless you are permitted by law to use the 
BlackBerry smartphone in hands-free mode. Using your BlackBerry smartphone while driving could 
put you and others at greater risk of an accident causing serious injury, death, or property loss.
 
 
Do not use your BlackBerry smartphone in the presence of gas fumes because it might present a risk 
of fire or explosion.
 
 
Do not dispose of your BlackBerry smartphone in a fire because this might cause an explosion 
resulting in serious injury, death, or property loss.
 
 
Turn off your BlackBerry smartphone on aircrafts. Using your BlackBerry smartphone on an aircraft 
might affect aircraft instrumentation, communication, and performance; might disrupt the network; 
might otherwise be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, its crew, and its passengers; and might 
be illegal.
 
 
BlackBerry smartphones are not intrinsically safe and cannot be used in the presence of explosive 
fumes, explosive dust, or other explosive chemicals. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion 
or fire resulting in serious injury, death, or damage to property.
Using your smartphone safely

Do not attempt to modify or service your BlackBerry smartphone.

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.
