Important safety precautions

Please read the safety and operation instructions before using your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet or any accessories that

came with it. Retain these instructions for future use.

In some countries there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth® enabled and wireless devices with encryption software.

Check with your local authorities.

Before you use your tablet, it is important that you read the compliance information and the

guidelines for safe use that are found in this guide. To find the latest safety and product

information, visit docs.blackberry.com/tablet.

Use only chargers approved by Research In Motion. Use of chargers that have not been approved by

RIM might present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious injury, death, and property

loss.

Do not disassemble your tablet. Your tablet contains small parts that might be a choking hazard.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain

electronic equipment might not be shielded against the RF signals from your tablet.

Keep your tablet away from medical devices, including pacemakers and hearing aids, as they might

malfunction causing serious injury or death to you and others.

• Always keep your tablet more than 7.88 inches (20 cm) from the pacemaker when the

tablet is turned on.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference with the pacemaker is taking place, turn

off all wireless connections on your tablet immediately.

Turn off all wireless connections on your tablet in health care facilities when any regulations posted

in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that

could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Do not use your tablet or accessories near water (for example, near a bathtub or a sink, in a wet

basement, or near a swimming pool) or spill liquid of any kind on your tablet or accessories as this

might cause a short circuit, a fire, or an electric shock which could cause serious injury, death, and

property loss.

Exposure to flashing lights on your tablet can cause epileptic seizures or blackouts. If you or other

users are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts, consult your physician before you use your

tablet. If you or others experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, twitching, convulsions, or

any involuntary movements, stop using your tablet immediately and consult a physician. The LED

notification light is located on the front of your tablet, next to the camera.
