The BlackBerry® device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured notto exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the CanadianGovernment (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits arepart of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. Thestandards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limitrecommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conductedusing standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device transmitting at itshighest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined atthe highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be wellbelow the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple powerlevels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you areto 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 certifiedto the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limitestablished by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under therecommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection(ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and wornon the body) as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.19
The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:Device 1 g / 10 g SAR (W/kg)BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630 smartphone 1.43/1.72The highest reported SAR value for this BlackBerry device when clipped on a belt, in a ResearchIn Motion approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is outlined below. Carryingsolutions, including RIM approved carrying solutions and carrying solutions not approved byRIM, that do not come equipped with an integrated belt clip SHOULD NOT be worn or carriedon the body. For more information regarding the wearing or carrying of this BlackBerry devicewithout using a RIM approved carrying solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see theHolster information in the "Additional safety guidelines" section of this document.Device 1 g / 10 g SAR (W/kg)BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone 0.53/0.48Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union requirements.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reportedSAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR informationon this wireless device model is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grantsection of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on FCC ID L6ARCF70CW. Additional informationon Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the CTIA - The Wireless Association® web20

US Information Concerning the Federal CommunicationsCommission ("FCC") Requirements for Hearing AidCompatibility with Wireless DevicesWhen wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlearimplants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices aremore immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount ofinterference that they generate.The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in findingwireless devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless deviceshave been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the boxtogether with other relevant approval markings.The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device andhearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use arated wireless device successfully.Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with yourhearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.How the ratings workM-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generateless interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.23
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be moreusable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated wirelessdevices. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices havetelecoils in them.)Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearingdevice manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearingdevice. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interferencenoise from wireless devices.For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatiblewireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals withdisabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.Industry Canada certificationThis BlackBerry® device complies with Industry Canada RSS 102, RSS 132, RSS 133, and RSS 210,under certification number 2503A-RCF70CW.Class B complianceThis BlackBerry® device complies with the Class B limits for radio noise emissions as set out inthe interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 ofIndustry Canada.24
