Safety and product information
Safety information
Before you start using your BlackBerry smartphone (hereinafter referred to as smartphone),
review the safety and regulatory information provided in this document. Keep this document
in a safe place so that you can refer to it whenever you need it.
In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth enabled devices and wireless
devices with encryption software. Check with your local authorities for the restrictions in your
area.
Important safety precautions
Use only approved batteries and chargers with your smartphone. Use of
batteries or chargers that have not been approved by the manufacturer
might present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious harm,
death, or property loss.
Use only the manufacturer approved holsters. Use of holsters that have not
been approved by the manufacturer may cause your smartphone to exceed
radio frequency exposure standards.
Keep the smartphone at least 0.20 in. (5 mm) away from your body. When you
carry the smartphone on your body, use only accessories equipped with an
integrated belt clip, and if the accessory is not supplied by the manufacturer,
verify that the accessory does not contain metal. If you do not follow
these guidelines, your smartphone may exceed radio frequency exposure
standards. Whether there are any long term health effects of exceeding radio
frequency exposure standards is a subject of ongoing scientific study.
Your smartphone is designed to be operated in temperatures between 32 and
113°F (0 and 45°C). Use of your smartphone outside of the recommended
temperature range could cause damage to your smartphone or lithium-ion
battery.
Do not rely on your 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, 119, or
999, might not connect you to emergency services in all areas.
Your smartphone and smartphone accessories are not intended for children.
If you allow a child to use or handle your smartphone or smartphone
accessories, ensure you strictly supervise the child. Your smartphone
contains small parts that are choking hazards to children.
Keep your 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 smartphone in contact with liquids because this might cause
a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock.
