Smart cards About using a smart card with your device Smart cards store certificates and private keys. You can use a smart card reader to import certificates from a smart card to the key store on your BlackBerry device, but you cannot import private keys. As a result, private key operations such as signing and decryption use the smart card, and public key operations such as verification and encryption use the public certificates on your device. If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate with your device, after you connect your smart card reader to your device, your device requests authentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your device. You can install multiple smart card drivers on your device, including drivers for microSD smart cards, but you can only authenticate to one smart card at a time. If you are authenticating using a microSD smart card and you want to transfer media files between your microSD smart card and your computer in mass storage mode, you must temporarily turn off two-factor authentication or select a different authentication option. If the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry devices is installed on your device, you can use smart card certificates to send S/MIME-protected messages. Turn on two-factor authentication To perform this task, you must have set a password for your BlackBerry device and have the smart card password that you received with your smart card. 1.

About smart password entry If you use advanced authentication and your BlackBerry device password or smart card password is numeric, you might be able to use smart password entry in some password fields. When smart password entry is turned on, your device is designed to remember the format of a password that you type in a password field. When you type the password again, your device applies a smart password filter to the password field. If the password is numeric, a 123 indicator appears beside the password field and you do not have to press the Alt key to type numbers. If the password is alphanumeric, an ABC indicator appears beside the password field.

(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) 21 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), 1998, Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz) Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), 1999, Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) MIC, 2001, Article 14-2 of the Ordinance for Regulating Radio Equipment To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, MIC, and EU radio frequency exposure guidelines when you carry the BlackBerry device on your body, use only accessories equipped with an integrated belt clip that are supplied or approved by Research In Motion. Use of accessories that are not expressly approved by RIM might violate FCC, IC, and EU radio frequency exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry device, keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without a USB cable, hold the BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body. If you use a body-worn accessory not supplied by RIM when you carry the BlackBerry device, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting. To reduce radio frequency exposure consider these safety guidelines:
22 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only Use the BlackBerry device in areas where there is a strong wireless signal. The indicator that provides information about the strength of the wireless signal is located in the upper-right corner of the Home screen and displays five ascending bars. Three or more bars indicate a strong signal. A reduced signal display, which might occur in areas such as an underground parking structure or if you are traveling by train or car, might indicate increased power output from your BlackBerry device as it attempts to connect to a weak signal. Use hands-free operation if it is available and keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.59 in. (15 mm) from your body (including the abdomen of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of teenagers) when the BlackBerry device is turned on and connected to the wireless network. For more information about carrying your BlackBerry device, see the holster information in the "Accessories" section of this document. Reduce the amount of time spent on calls. 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 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 23 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only 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 device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined as follows:
24 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only Device SAR (W/kg) for 1 g SAR (W/kg) for 10 g X X BlackBerry Jennings XXXX smartphone
(model number RDM71UW) BlackBerry Jennings XXXX smartphone
(model number RDN71UW) X X The highest reported SAR value for this BlackBerry device 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 device without using a RIM approved carrying solution equipped with an integrated belt clip, see the holster information in the "Additional safety guidelines" section of this document. 25 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only Device SAR (W/kg) for 1 g SAR (W/kg) for 10 g X X BlackBerry Jennings XXXX smartphone

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. 29 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only 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. This BlackBerry device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that the BlackBerry device uses. However, other wireless technologies may be used in this BlackBerry device that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of your BlackBerry device thoroughly and in different locations to determine if you hear any interfering noise when using this BlackBerry device with your hearing aid or cochlear implant. Consult your wireless service provider about its return and exchange policies and for information about hearing aid compatibility. The BlackBerry Jennings XXXX smartphone is rated for use with hearing aids when it is used in the slider open position. The above warnings still apply. How the ratings work M-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. 30 RIM Confidential and Proprietary Information - Internal Use Only 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.
