Specific absorption rate data

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO

RADIO WAVES.

The BlackBerry® device 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, Industry Canada of the Canadian

Government (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union. 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 scientific studies. The

standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

TheexposurestandardforwirelessdevicesemploysaunitofmeasurementknownastheSpecific

Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit

recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted

using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device 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 device while operating can be well

below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified

to the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit

established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the

recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn

on the body) as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.

The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:

Device

The highest reported SAR value for this BlackBerry device when clipped on a belt, in a Research

In Motion (RIM) approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is outlined below.

Carrying solutions, including RIM approved carrying solutions and carrying solutions not

approved by RIM, that do not come equipped with an integrated belt clip SHOULD NOT be worn

or carried on the body. For more information regarding the wearing or carrying of this BlackBerry

device without using a RIM approved carrying solution equipped with an integrated belt clip,
