Compliance information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
The BlackBerry smartphone radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When the BlackBerry smartphone radio is turned on, it receives and also sends out radio frequency signals. The BlackBerry smartphone is designed to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Ministry of Internal 
Affairs and Communications (MIC), and Industry Canada (IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of radio 
frequency exposure for wireless devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards 
previously set by Canadian, U.S., and international standards bodies:
•ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 2005, American National Standards Institute/Institute of Electrical and Electronics 
Engineers Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency 
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86, 1986, Biological 
Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields

							Specific absorption rate data
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO 
WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION.
The BlackBerry smartphone 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 when used as directed in the previous section. 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 exposure standard for wireless devices 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*. 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 your BlackBerry smartphone model when tested for use at the ear is outlined as 
follows:
SmartphoneSAR (W/kg) for 1 gSAR (W/kg) for 10 gBlackBerry Z10 smartphone (model number 
RFA91LW)1.421.69
The highest reported body SAR value for this BlackBerry smartphone when clipped on a belt, in a Research 
In Motion 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 smartphone without using a RIM approved carrying 
solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see the holster information in the "Accessories" section of 
this document.
SmartphoneSAR (W/kg) for 1 gSAR (W/kg) for 10 gBlackBerry Z10 smartphone (model number 
RFA91LW)1.200.52

RFA91LW)0.91
Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available 
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 reported SAR levels 
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC radio frequency emission guidelines when the BlackBerry smartphone is used as directed in this section. SAR information on this wireless device model is on file with 
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching for the 
FCC ID for your BlackBerry smartphone listed below.

RFA91LW)L6ARFA90LW
Additional information on SAR can be found on the CTIA - The Wireless Association website at www.ctia.org. In Japan, additional information on SAR can be found on the Association of Radio Industries 
and Businesses (ARIB) website at www.arib-emf.org/index.html, or on the Telecommunications Bureau of 
the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) website at www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/index.htm. ___________________________________* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6W/kg averaged 
over 1 g of tissue for the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, 
wrists, ankles, and feet).
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for 
the body or head (4.0W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). 
Studies suggest that the standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection 
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

US Information Concerning the Federal Communications 
Commission ("FCC") Requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility 
with Wireless Devices
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users 
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to 
this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference that they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless 
devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. 
Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on the box together with other relevant 
approval markings.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If 
your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated wireless device 
successfully.
Consulting with your hearing health professional and testing the wireless device with your hearing 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 generate less 
interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better or higher of the 
two ratings.
T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a 
hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better 
or higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device 
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more 
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.

wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have 
access to telecommunications services, visit

If you have a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry smartphone, your BlackBerry smartphone may be operated on Wi-Fi networks in all European Union member countries. This equipment may be operated in Turkey.The Official Journal of the European Union Commission Decision of 12 February 2007 states that in the 
frequency band 5.150 to 5.350 GHz, wireless access systems (WAS), including radio local area networks 
(RLANs), shall be restricted to indoor use. Since the creation of a network is within the domain of the 
wireless access point and the access point is a master device, the 
BlackBerry smartphone never initiates 
the creation of a network or attaches to a network in ad-hoc mode in the 5.150 to 5.350 GHz frequency 
band.
