LED aperture: Exposure to flashing lights on the BlackBerry device can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts and might be dangerous to
you or others. In the event that you experience, or your use of the BlackBerry device causes in others, any disorientation, loss of awareness,
twitching, convulsions, or any involuntary movements, stop using the BlackBerry device immediately and consult a physician. If you are
susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician before using the BlackBerry device. Caution: Use of controls or
adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Audio files: The BlackBerry device has the capability to play audio files. When listening to audio files using headphones, permanent
hearing loss might occur if headphones are used at a high volume. Avoid increasing the volume of your headphones to block out noisy
surroundings. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, consult a physician to have your hearing checked.
Liquids and foreign objects: Never push objects of any kind into the BlackBerry device or device accessories through openings as this
action might cause a short circuit, a fire, or electric shock. Do not use the BlackBerry device or device accessories near water (for example,
near a bathtub or a sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool). Never spill liquid of any kind on the BlackBerry device or device
accessories.
Stability: Do not place the BlackBerry device or device accessory on any unstable surface. It could fall, thereby potentially causing serious
injury to a person and serious damage to the BlackBerry device or device accessory. Take care when using the BlackBerry device with any
charging accessories to route the power cord in a way that reduces the risk of injury to others, such as by tripping or choking.
Cleaning: Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents on or near the BlackBerry device or device accessory. Clean only with a soft dry
cloth. Disconnect any cables from the computer and unplug any charging accessories from the electrical outlet before cleaning either the
BlackBerry device or the charging accessory.
Repetitive strain: When using the BlackBerry device, take frequent breaks. If you experience any discomfort in your neck, shoulders, arms,
wrists, hands (including thumbs and fingers), or other parts of the body when using the BlackBerry device, cease use immediately. If
discomfort persists, consult a physician.
Holster: The BlackBerry device might not come equipped with a holster. If you wear the BlackBerry device on your body, always put the
device in a holder, holster, or carrying case approved by Research In Motion (RIM). If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or
approved by RIM when carrying the BlackBerry device, keep the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry
device is connected to a wireless network. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without an accessory cable,
position the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body. Using accessories not supplied or approved by RIM might cause your
BlackBerry device to exceed radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines.
Carrying solutions: Most BlackBerry® carrying solutions for BlackBerry devices, for example holsters, totes, and pouches, incorporate a
magnet into the physical structure of the carrying solution. Do not place items containing magnetic strip components such as debit cards,
credit cards, hotel key cards, phone cards, or similar items near BlackBerry carrying solutions which incorporate a magnet into the physical
structure of the carrying solution as the magnet might damage or erase the data stored on the magnetic strip.
