Safety and product information
Safety information
Please read these safety and operation instructions before
using the BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader or any
accessories provided with the BlackBerry Smart Card
Reader. Retain these instructions for future use.
In some countries there may be restrictions on using
Bluetooth® enabled devices with encryption software.
Check with your local authorities.
Electrical safety
Charge the BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader using only the
USB cable provided or other charging accessory provided
or specifically approved by Research In Motion Limited
(RIM) for use with this BlackBerry Smart Card Reader. Any
approval from RIM under this document must be in writing
3
and must be from a person authorized to provide such
approval. Use of any other accessory might invalidate any
warranty provided with the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader
and might be dangerous.
Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader or any other RIM approved charging
accessories only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. Before using any power supply, verify
that the mains voltage is in accordance with the voltage
printed on the power supply.
Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles as this might result in a risk of fire
or electric shock. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord
or the plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when you
disconnect the charging accessory from the power outlet or
convenience receptacle.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where the power cord connects to the BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader. Unplug charging accessories during
lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
4
Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area
exposed to the elements.
See the documentation that came with the BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader for more information about inserting the
lithium-ion battery and connecting the power supply.
Battery safety and disposal
The BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader contains a removable
lithium-ion battery. Do not dispose of either the BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader or the lithium-ion battery in a fire.
Dispose of the lithium-ion battery in accordance with the
lawsandregulationsinyourareagoverningdisposalofsuch
cell types.
The lithium-ion battery might present a fire or chemical
burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, crush, or
puncture the lithium-ion battery. Do not heat the lithium-
ion battery above 140°F (60°C). Do not allow metal objects
to contact the battery terminals.
5
Use only the lithium-ion battery that Research In Motion
(RIM) specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader model. RIM specifies lithium-ion
batteries for use in BlackBerry devices in compliance with
IEEE Std 1725-200x™. Using any other lithium-ion battery
might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader and might present a risk of fire or
explosion.
When the "nO bAtt" indicator appears on your BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader, the lithium-ion battery is not inserted
or an invalid lithium-ion battery is inserted. If you have
inserted an invalid lithium-ion battery, remove it
immediately and insert the lithium-ion battery that RIM
specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry Smart Card
Reader model. If you have inserted the lithium-ion battery
that is specified for use with your particular BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader model, remove and reinsert the lithium-
ion battery. Verify that the battery connectors align with
the connectors on your BlackBerry Smart Card Reader.

Device disposal
The BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader
should not be placed in household waste
bins. Please check local regulations for
information about the disposal of
electronic products in your area.
Driving safety
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of a
wireless device in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader in
your car, please use the following minimum guidelines:
• Give your full attention to driving; driving
safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation if it is available.

• Pull off the road and park before using your
BlackBerry Smart Card Reader in any way.
Research In Motion (RIM) recommends that you do not use
the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader while driving. Instead,
consider having a passenger in the vehicle use the

Store the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader safely before
driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory as
a means of storing the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader while
you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air
bag, do not place the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader 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
8
been added to your vehicle, you should also consult the
manufacturer of that equipment for information on RF
signals.
Accessories
Use only those accessories approved by Research In
Motion (RIM). Using any accessories not approved by RIM
for use with this particular BlackBerry® Smart Card
Reader model might invalidate any approval or warranty
applicable to the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader, might
result in the non-operation of the BlackBerry Smart Card
Reader, and might be dangerous.
Antenna care
Use only the supplied integrated antenna. Unauthorized
antenna modifications or attachments could damage the
BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader and might violate U.S.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.

Operating and storage temperatures
Situate the BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader or BlackBerry
Smart Card Reader accessories away from heat sources,
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
