Driving and Walking Safely
Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility. You are responsible for knowing
and obeying the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive.
Research In Motion recommends that you do not use your BlackBerry
®
device while you drive. Instead,
consider having a passenger in the vehicle use your BlackBerry device for you, or find a safe location to
stop your vehicle before you use your BlackBerry device.
Store your BlackBerry device safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory as a
means of storing your BlackBerry device while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air
bag, do not place your BlackBerry device or other objects above the air bag, or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly stored or installed, and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Radio frequency (RF) signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. If any
equipment has been added to your vehicle, you should also consult the manufacturer of that equipment
for information on RF signals.
Do not use your BlackBerry device while walking or engaging in any activity that requires your full
attention. Inattention to vehicular traffic or other pedestrian hazards could result in serious injury, death, or
property loss.
Accessories
Use only those accessories approved by Research In Motion (RIM). Using any accessories not approved
by RIM for use with this particular BlackBerry
®
device model might invalidate any approval or warranty
applicable to the device, might result in the non-operation of the device, and might be dangerous.
