EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. Your wireless handheld complies
with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of RF
exposure for handheld wireless devices, which in turn are
consistent with the following safety standards previously set by
Canadian, U.S., and international standards bodies:
•

Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1988, Guidelines for limiting exposure to
time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up
to 300 GHz)
To maintain compliance with FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines,
use only RIM-supplied or approved accessories. The BlackBerry
handheld is designed to be carried in a RIM-approved holster when
carried on your body. When carrying the BlackBerry Wireless
Handheld while it is switched on, use the specific holster that has
been tested for compliance. If you do not use a RIM-approved
holster or other body-worn accessory, ensure that the handheld is at
least 7 mm from your body when it is turned on. Use of accessories
not approved by RIM may violate FCC and IC RF exposure
guidelines and may void your warranty.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA
THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless handheld is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and
Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC). These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
12
BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Important safety/compliance information
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile handhelds employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the
FCC/IC with the handheld transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the handheld while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the handheld is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a wireless handheld model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC/IC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., worn on the body) as required by the FCC/IC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handheld when tested for use
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.25
W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless handheld
and phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC/IC requirements). While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various wireless devices and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
handheld with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model handheld is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
searching on FCC ID L6AR1900G-1-4.

handhelds used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one 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).
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 Laboraties.
ANTENNA CARE
