Exposure to radio frequency signals
The BlackBerry device radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When the BlackBerry device radio is turned on, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals. The BlackBerry device 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 RF 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, 1999, 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
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range
from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• EN 50360, 2001, Product standard to demonstrate the
compliance of mobile phones with the basic restrictions related
to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300 MHz to 3 GHz)
