IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Please read these safety instructions and the operation instructions
provided in this manual before operating the RIM 850 Wireless
Handheld or its charging cradle. Retain these instructions for future
use.
Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of
the RIM 850 Wireless Handheld and always switch it off in areas
where radio devices are forbidden, or when it may cause
interference or danger. Any safety laws and regulations pertaining
to the use of cell phones and two-way radios will likely apply to
your use of the handheld. We encourage you to follow such laws
and regulations at all times. In particular, please observe all
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, where blasting
operations are in progress or in any other area in which restrictions
on radio transmissions are imposed. In addition, the RIM 850
Wireless Handheld should not be used in locations that may be
hazardous including, without limitation, locations in which
hazardous or combustible gases may be present.
The RIM 850 Wireless Handheld is not an FAA-approved electronic
device for use on aircraft. Switch off the handheld when in an
aircraft. The effect of the use of the handheld in an aircraft is
unknown. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation,
communication and performance, may disrupt the network, and
may be illegal.
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the
handheld, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately
protected medical devices, including pacemakers. Consult
a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
questions. Additionally, while most modern equipment is
adequately shielded from radio signals such that your handheld
will not interfere with the operation of such equipment, certain
electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may not be
shielded against the radio signals from your handheld. You should
check with the manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the
manufacturer’s representative to determine whether the use of the
handheld will present any safety issues.
Avoid using the handheld in any environment requiring your full
attention, such as when driving a vehicle. If you need to use your
handheld while driving, have a passenger in the vehicle use the
handheld for you, or find a safe location to halt your vehicle prior to
using the handheld. Do not use the charging cradle as a means of
storing your handheld while in a vehicle.
Do not use any cradle, charging unit, or any other
accessory or attachment that is not manufactured or
supplied by RIM or an authorized RIM accessories supplier.
Use of any accessory or attachment that is not supplied or
approved for use by RIM in conjunction with the handheld is
not permitted as it may cause hazards.
WARNING
Do not place the RIM 850 Wireless Handheld or its charging cradle
on any unstable surface, such as a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. It may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the handheld.
RIM recommends that you use only single-use alkaline or
rechargeable NiMH batteries in this unit. There is a list on page 22
of recommended brands of rechargeable NiMH batteries. The use of
any other battery may disable the handheld and may be dangerous.
Only plug in the charging cradle AC wall adapter if you are going to
use the recharging feature. Discard the handheld properly. As the
unit contains a lithium cell, neither the handheld nor the lithium cell
(nor the AA battery) should be disposed of in fire. Dispose of the
handheld containing the lithium cell in accordance with the laws
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types.
Similarly, dispose of AA batteries in a responsible manner. Contact
RIM if you have any questions concerning disposal of the handheld,
the lithium cell, or the AA battery.
The handheld should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. Refer to the operating
instructions starting on page 22 for more information on the battery
and power supply. Power supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
charging cradle. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
Never push objects of any kind into the RIM 850 Wireless Handheld
through openings as they may short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the handheld.
Do not use the handheld near water (for example near a bathtub or a
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.). The RIM 850
Wireless Handheld and its charging cradle should be situated away
from heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Unplug the charging cradle from the wall before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Rather, use a damp cloth to clean the
unit.
Failure to observe all these instructions will void the Limited
Warranty, and may lead to suspension or denial of services to the
offender, or legal action, or both.

Get to know your handheld — Handheld components
In low light conditions, you can increase the readability of the LCD
by using the backlighting feature. To activate backlighting, press the
ALT key three times. The backlight will shut off automatically if you
do not press any keys or use the trackwheel for more than 10
seconds.
Keyboard and trackwheel
The 31-key QWERTY keyboard provides access to all of the regular
alphabetic characters; numeric characters,
a
symbols library,
punctuation, and special characters can be generated using the
orange ALT key in combination with the other keys. For easy typing,
hold the device in both hands and use your thumbs. Roll and click
the trackwheel for navigation and selection.
A trackwheel that clicks!
The trackwheel on the handheld has a unique feature for greater
usability and performance: it clicks! Pressing down on the
trackwheel with your thumb is comparable to the clicking function
of your PC mouse. Click to open menus and to select functions and
menu options.
Battery compartment
The handheld operates on one AA alkaline battery or one NiMH
rechargeable battery housed in the battery compartment at the back
of the handheld. See page 22 for more information on the battery.
Holster (belt clip)
A holster, equipped with a belt clip, accompanies the handheld.
While in the holster, the handheld is protected and wearable. You
can choose different forms of message notification based on whether
the handheld is in or out of the holster.

21
Get to know your handheld — Handheld components
When you receive a new message and remove the handheld from
the holster within five seconds, notification (based on how you’ve
set it) stops and the most recently received message will be open. If
you pull the handheld out of the holster and quickly replace it,
notification stops but the message will remain marked unread. See
“Setting message notification” on page 39 for information on
notification options.
Serial port
The serial port on the bottom of the handheld fits into the prongs of
the charging cradle. You must connect the cradle to your PC to use
the Desktop Software (provided on the CD with your package).
The Desktop Software supports standard USB-to-serial port
converters. See Chapter 3, “Using the Desktop Software” for more
information on installation procedures and serial connection details.
Charging cradle
The charging cradle provides a link between the handheld and your
PC, so that you may use the Desktop Software provided with your
package. See Chapter 3, “Using the Desktop Software” for more
information on the cradle and the capabilities of the Desktop
Software.
If you are using a rechargeable NiMH battery, you can use the
charging cradle and accompanying AC adapter to recharge the
battery. If the handheld is correctly placed in the charging cradle,
the AC adapter is plugged in, and the handheld is using a valid
NiMH rechargeable battery, the battery will be recharged.

Get to know your handheld — Installing the battery
Installing the battery
Depending on usage, the handheld can operate for weeks using a
single AA alkaline battery or a rechargeable NiMH battery. The
handheld will work best if you use standard, high quality alkaline
or NiMH batteries.
If you choose to use an AA alkaline cell in the charging
cradle when synchronizing with your PC, we recommend
that you unplug the AC adapter. This will ensure that the
charging cradle does not attempt to charge the alkaline cell.
Note
RIM recommends using the Sanyo NiMH model HR-3U (supplied
with the handheld) when recharging the handheld's battery with
the charging cradle.
The Energizer NH15 NiMH is a suitable alternative for the Sanyo
HR-3U. It has a lower capacity than the Sanyo battery so it will need
to be recharged more frequently. It is, however, readily available
from many retail locations.
RIM has also performed limited testing on NiMH batteries from
Gold Peak Group and Radio Shack (Tandy). While not certified for
general use in the RIM 850 Wireless Handheld, you may wish to try
them as substitutes for the Sanyo or Energizer cells. If you encounter
any difficulties when using these batteries, return to using the
Sanyo or Energizer cells.
1. To remove the battery cover, slide the lock to the right and pull
the cover up and off.

2. Once you have removed the battery cover, remove the old
battery and insert a new one. When inserting the new battery,
make sure that the connectors are aligned for the correct
polarity. The handheld will vibrate and beep if the battery has
not been inserted properly.
.
If your handheld does not turn on after you have inserted
the battery, then either the battery is too low or the internal
lithium battery is discharged. Allow the battery to recharge
the internal lithium battery by leaving the handheld turned
off for 6 to 8 hours. See page 163 for answers to frequently
asked questions about the battery.

Get to know your handheld — Installing the battery
Recharging the battery
The charging cradle contained in your package is used to recharge
the NiMH battery that powers the handheld.
1. Plug the supplied AC adapter into a power source.
2. Place the handheld in the charging cradle so that the
handheld’s serial port is securely connected to the charging
cradle. When the charging cradle and handheld are connected
and the charging cradle is plugged in to a power source, the
green LED on the cradle will be solid for a period of time, in
which the cradle is detecting and testing the battery. The
charging cradle then begins a charging cycle.
3. The green LED on the charging cradle will flash continually
and the battery power indicator on the handheld’s Home
screen will be replaced with the charging indicator to show that
the battery is being charged.
4. When charging is complete, the green LED returns to a solid
green light. If the green LED turns off at any point during the
charging cycle, there may be a problem with the battery, the
charging cradle, or any of the connections, (e.g. the AC adapter,
the handheld.) A complete charging cycle may take as long as 8
hours but it will typically take less time to fully recharge the
battery.
5. To release the handheld from the charging cradle, brace the
bottom of the charging cradle with your thumb and gently pull
the top of the handheld towards you.

•
•
Allow the handheld to complete its charging cycle every time
you attempt to charge it. Do not remove the handheld from the
cradle while the green LED is flashing. A charging cycle is
complete when the green LED is solid.
Keeping the handheld in the cradle for a short time (5-15
minutes) during synchronization with your PC will not
negatively affect the rechargeable battery. However, keeping
the handheld in the cradle longer than the time required for
synchronizing, yet not long enough to complete the battery
charging cycle, is not recommended.
•
•
When using a non-rechargable battery, such as an Alkaline cell,
unplug the AC adapter from the charging cradle while
synchronizing to ensure that the cradle does not attempt to
charge the alkaline battery.
Only recharge your handheld when the battery level indicator
on the handheld’s Home screen shows one or two bars. Do not
recharge when the battery level is at three or more bars.
Turning on your handheld
1. Click (press down) on the trackwheel. The Home screen
appears, from which you can select any of the handheld’s main
functions.
2. Using the trackwheel, scroll through the icons to view the
functions. The name of each function appears at the bottom of
the screen.
3. To select a function, scroll to the appropriate icon and click the
trackwheel to open that function’s screen.
You can also select a function by pressing the underlined
character in the function’s name. For example, press M for

Enabling email redirection
If your PC will be redirecting email from your desktop to the
handheld, you must run the Desktop Redirector on your PC. (The
Desktop Redirector software is installed at the same time the
Desktop Manager is installed.) To launch the Redirector, select it
from your Start>Programs menu.
In the Redirector Status window, you will notice that the Status
field indicates “Running” and the PIN field shows your handheld’s
personal identification number. Now that you have activated your
handheld and completed the installation, you are ready to begin
sending and receiving email.
If your company will be redirecting email to your handheld using
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software, you do not have to run
the Desktop Redirector. Please ensure that your IT administrator
has set up your handheld on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You

If the body of your messages aren’t being redirected from
Note
your PC to the handheld, check to see how these
messages are addressed to you. If you are addressed in
the Cc field of the message, the default filter will not redirect
the body of the message to you.
4. In the Security tab, you can generate security keys for
encryption and decryption of your messages. Unless you
change the settings, you are automatically prompted to
generate security keys when you insert your handheld into the
cradle, if keys need to be generated.

arriving at your desktop that meets the condition(s) will be
subject to this filter.
4. When you have selected the conditions that must be fulfilled
for this filter, decide whether the message will be forwarded to
the handheld, forwarded with Level 1 notification, forwarded
with only the header, or held at your PC.
5. When you have set the conditions and actions, click OK. On the
Filters tab you will see the new filter in the list.
To rearrange the order of your filters, select the filter you’d like to
move and click the up or down arrow buttons.
As each email message arrives at your PC, the first filter
rule listed that matches the criteria of that message will
dictate whether that message will be redirected. Therefore,
when adding a filter that is more restrictive in nature than
the defaults, ensure that it is placed at the TOP of the filter
list, so that it will be applied first to the incoming messages.
Note
If you have set Inbox Assistant rules on your desktop to
move specific messages to a different folder as soon as
they arrive in your Inbox, these messages will only be
forwarded to your handheld if you specify email redirection
from that folder. You can change the folders from which
email is redirected in the Advanced tab. See the online help
for more information on folder redirection and the Advanced
tab.

Managing messages
Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the features and functions that the
handheld provides for sending and receiving messages. Now, find
out how you can organize, customize, and search your list of
messages more efficiently.
Filing messages
Once you have installed the Desktop Software and have
synchronized your handheld and your PC, you can file messages
into folders. (See Chapter 2, “Start Sending Email”, for more
information on installing the Desktop Software.)
The first time you synchronize your handheld and PC, the names
and structure of the folders in your desktop email program are
imported onto the handheld. If you file a message on your handheld
and then synchronize with your desktop, the messages are moved
and filed as you have specified.
1. In the Home screen, scroll to the MESSAGES icon and click.
2. In the Messages screen, scroll to a message and click to view
the menu. Scroll to File Message and click.

with a file folder icon beside it (if you have filed the message into a
folder other than the Desktop or Inbox).
You can also file a message while it is open.
Note
You cannot create a new folder using your handheld. If you
want a new folder on your handheld, you must create it in
your desktop email program, then perform an email
reconciliation to transfer the new folder to your handheld.
If you do not want to show filed messages in the Messages
screen, set the Hide Filed Messages option to Yes in the
Message List Options screen. See page 69 for more
information on setting the Message List Options.

To review filed messages
After a message has been filed, you can verify the message
placement by opening the message and scrolling to the top of the
screen. The Folder field will indicate in which folder the message is
filed.
Saving messages
Save important messages by copying them to a separate list. It is
important to save any messages you want to keep for future
reference. If the handheld needs to delete old messages to free
memory space, saved messages are not deleted. If you have set the
Message List Options to delete messages from the desktop and the
handheld, you should save messages if you do not want them
deleted from your handheld upon email reconciliation. See page 111
for more information on deleting messages from both systems.
To save a received or sent message
You may wish to save a received or sent message to retain it for
future use.
An icon in front of the message header indicates message
status (sent, received, etc.). See page 36 for an explanation
of each icon.

transmitting the same message more than once. See
page 75 for information on composing a message to
multiple recipients.
Remember that battery consumption is reflected in the amount of
use. A heavy email user who sends and receives numerous
messages every day will consume battery power more quickly than
an infrequent user.
What should I do when I see the message “Battery too low for
handheld usage”?
•
If using a rechargeable NiMH battery, place the handheld in the
charging cradle and allow the cradle to perform a complete
charging cycle.
•
•
If using an AA alkaline cell, replace it with a fresh battery. See
page 22 for information on inserting the battery.
If your NiMH needs to be recharged but it is a not convenient
time to recharge, temporarily replace the NiHM with an AA
alkaline cell.
What should I do if my handheld does not turn on?
•
Make sure the AA battery is properly installed or try inserting a
new battery. You may have to leave the handheld turned off for
6-8 hours to charge the internal battery. See page 22 for more
information on inserting the battery.
•
If the handheld will not turn on after replacing the battery, reset
the handheld. See page 176 for more information on resetting

or to update this information automatically, simply synchronize the
handheld with the Desktop Software’s Intellisync tool.
Charging Cradle
My battery is a NiMH rechargeable AA but the charging cradle
won’t charge it.

Ensure that you are following the recommended practices on
page 24 for charging your handheld in order to get maximum
battery performance.
•
•
Replace the existing battery with another rechargeable NiMH
battery.
Try removing the handheld from the charging cradle and
unplugging the cradle. Then reconnect the cradle to the power
source and reinsert the handheld.
How warm will the charging cradle get when I recharge the
battery?
The charging cradle will feel warm to the touch while it is
recharging the NiMH battery in the handheld. However, it should
not get hot enough to burn. If it does become overly warm to the
touch, return it to your service provider.
While the handheld is in the cradle, the green light is
sometimes off, sometimes flashes, and is sometimes on. What
do each of these actions mean?
If the LED is off while the handheld is in the cradle it means that
either the AC adapter or the handheld is not properly connected to
the charging cradle; it may also be an indication that the battery is
not a NiMH rechargeable battery, or that it is damaged.
If the green LED is flashing, the battery is being recharged.

charging cradle will not begin charging if the battery is not
a rechargeable cell. If you would like to use the recharge
capabilities of the charging cradle, you should not use a
single-use alkaline battery, or a non-NiMH rechargeable
battery in your handheld. See page 22 for information on
installing the battery, including recommended battery
types.

Ensure that the temperature in which you are operating
the charging cradle is between 0°C to +45°C.

Why did I have two messages on my handheld before I turned

within range of network coverage (check the coverage
indicator in the Home screen). See page 47 for more
information.
•
•
Check the Network Settings screen to ensure that your
handheld has been activated on the network. If the Status
field in this screen is Pending, call your service provider to
have your handheld activated.
You can try resending your message. As long as there is a
clock icon beside the message when you resend it, another
attempt is made to transmit the original message. A copy is
not sent. See page 112 for more information on how to
resend messages.
Why am I not receiving all my messages?
There are several reasons why email may not be redirected to your
handheld.
•
Is your PC turned on? If you are using the Desktop
Redirector to forward your email, your desktop computer
must be on any time you want to receive messages on your
handheld. If your company is using the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server to forward your email, you do not need

to leave your PC turned on.
•
Is the Desktop Redirector running? If you are using the
Desktop Redirector to forward your email, verify that it is
running; its icon should be in the Windows SysTray (in the
bottom right corner of your PC). If your company is using
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to forward your email,
check the Desktop Redirector for possible error messages.
See the Desktop Redirector online help included with the
software for information.
•
•
Is your handheld in the cradle connected to your PC? By
default, if the handheld is in the cradle, you will not
receive any messages on your handheld while the Desktop
Software is running. Take the handheld out of the cradle to
find out if the messages are being forwarded properly.
Have you created Microsoft Exchange Inbox assistant rules?
If you have set up Inbox assistant rules that move new
messages from the Inbox to another folder, they will not be
forwarded to your handheld because the Inbox assistant
moves them before they are forwarded to your handheld.
To forward email from one of these subfolders, you must
change the folder redirection settings in the Advanced tab
of the Desktop Software’s Redirector Settings tool. See the
online help for more information.
•
•
Have you set filter rules? Check the filters in the Redirector
Settings tool to make sure the messages you want to
receive are being forwarded. See the Redirector Settings
online help for information on these filters.
Have you set the filter order correctly? The order that the
filters appear in your list reflects the order that they will be
applied to new messages. Check to see if one of your filters
is preventing desired messages from being redirected to
the handheld.

How do I check if the Desktop Redirector is running?
•
If the Desktop Redirector is running, the icon appears in the
Windows SysTray in the bottom right corner of your desktop.
To verify that it is running, double-click the icon to open the
Redirector Status window. To learn more about the fields in
this window, select Contents under the Help menu.
•
If the Desktop Redirector icon does not appear in the Windows
SysTray, launch the program by selecting the Redirector
program from your Start>Programs menu.
Why isn’t my handheld receiving every message that goes to
my desktop Inbox?
•
Ensure that the Desktop Redirector is running. (See answers to
previous FAQ).
•
Check that your Inbox Assistant does not have rules set to
direct your messages elsewhere once they arrive in your Inbox.
If, for example, you have a rule directing Confidential or
Priority messages to a separate folder in Outlook, these

messages might not be redirected to your handheld unless you
have specified email redirection from the folder. See the
Redirector Settings online help for more information.
•
Check the Filter rules that you have set through the Redirector
Settings tool. If you haven’t set any of your own filters, check
the default filters to make sure they are handling messages to
your preference.
Why does a new mail envelope icon appear in the Windows
SysTray, but my desktop Inbox does not display any new mail?
•
The Desktop Redirector communicates with your handheld
over the wireless network through email. This two-way
communication results in delivery acknowledgements arriving
in your Inbox. The email Redirector recognizes these “Relay”
messages, and automatically deletes them. Microsoft Outlook
will notify you of these incoming “Relay” messages, so the
envelope icon will appear in your SysTray even after the
messages have been automatically deleted.
I am a Microsoft Outlook user. How do I synchronize with both
my Outlook Contacts and my company’s Exchange Global
Address List?
If you don’t mind having Global Addresses merged with your
Contacts in Outlook, perform steps 2, 3 & 5. If you wish to keep the
two address lists separate in Outlook, perform steps 1-6.
1. Open Outlook on your PC and select Contacts in the
Mailbox list. Select File>New>Folder. Name your new
folder Global; the entries from the Exchange Address List
will be placed in this folder.
2. Launch the Desktop Manager and double-click the Backup
and Restore tool. Click the Advanced button. You will see
a list of the files currently on your handheld. With the
Address Book file selected, click Clear.
3. In the Advanced window, select File>Import>Addresses....

The Address Book Import window appears. Select names
from the Global Address List and click Import> to copy the
names over. Once you’ve copied all the names you want,
click the OK button. The Advanced window now shows a
file called Address Book in the Desktop File Databases list.
Click the Restore button. The updated Address Book file
will be transferred to the handheld.
4. From the Desktop Manager, double-click the Intellisync
tool; the Intellisync window opens. Click the Configure
PIM... button. In the PIM Configuration window, select
Address Book and click Choose. Ensure Outlook is
selected as your translator then click Browse to open the
Choose Contact Folder(s) window. Locate and select the
Global subfolder that you created in step 1. This subfolder
will be under Contacts. (You may have to double-click the
displayed folders to view all subfolders). Click the Add
button. In the bottom list, select the Global folder and click
the Default button. Continue clicking OK to return to the
Intellisync window.
5. Click the Synchronize now button to add the Outlook
Contacts to your handheld and the addresses on the
handheld to Outlook. When the dialog appears asking if
you want to delete the new addresses from your handheld,
click Re-sync. Now a dialog appears asking if you want to
add the new address to your subfolder in Contacts. Click
OK. You can now synchronize your PIM applications
without overriding the addresses you have in the Contacts
folder.
6. In the Intellisync window select Configure>Choose>
Browse. The Choose Contact Folder(s) window appears;
select the Contacts folder and click Default. Performing
this last step ensures that when a future contact is added to
the handheld, it will be synchronized into the main
Contact folder, rather than the Global subfolder.

Frequently asked questions — Resetting the handheld
Why should I generate new keys? How often should this be
done?
•
Messages are encrypted when they are sent between your PC
and the handheld. Your handheld can only receive messages
that were sent with the correct encryption. You need to
generate keys to establish the random encryption codes that
enable your PC to communicate with your handheld.
Encryption is used as a security measure to ensure that only
your handheld can receive messages sent from your PC.
•
Using the Redirector Settings tool, you can manually generate
keys whenever you wish, or you can set your PC to remind you
to generate keys every month. For maximum security, new
keys should be generated every two to four weeks.
If I get an error message, how can I find out what it means?
•
You’ll find a list of possible error messages, and tips for what to
do when you get an error message, in the Desktop Redirector
and Desktop Manager online help files. In either the Redirector
Status or Desktop Manager windows, select Contents under
the Help menu. Then click the Frequently Asked Questions
link.
Resetting the handheld
On rare occasions, the handheld may report an internal handheld
error message, instructing you to press ‘R’ to reset. Doing so will
return the handheld to normal operation after a few minutes. Try
sending yourself a message and check that all the information has
been properly restored in the Status screen.
There is also a reset hole located on the back of the handheld, below
the bottom label. Normally, you will not need to use this method of
reset. However, if the handheld ‘locks up’ (no longer responds
when you press keys or use the trackwheel) you can use this
method to reset the handheld. One end of a paper clip can be

You can also reset the handheld by simultaneously pressing
the ALT + SHIFT + BACKSPACE keys.
Note
Messages and other information stored on the handheld will not be
lost. If you were in the process of composing a message, however,
the message will be lost.
If you reset your handheld, you will not lose the connection with
your PC. After you reset your handheld, synchronize with the
Desktop Manager to ensure that all information has been restored.

Limited Warranty
Research In Motion Limited (“RIM”), the manufacturer and
provider of the BlackBerry Solution, comprising the BlackBerry
Handheld, which together with the BlackBerry Cradle and Holster
comprise the BlackBerry Hardware, the BlackBerry Desktop
Software, and the associated wireless data service and
documentation, warrants to YOU, the end-user (“YOU”), that the
BlackBerry Hardware will be free from defects in workmanship and
materials for a period that is the shorter of (i) one (1) year from the
date that the BlackBerry Hardware was first purchased by YOU as
an original end-user and (ii) the period ending upon your breach of
the End-User’s Agreement entered into when YOU ordered the
BlackBerry Solution (the “Purchase Warranty Period”). If YOU
obtain the BlackBerry Hardware through a rental or lease program,
or any other non-purchase program, the warranty period (the
“Rental Warranty Period”) shall be for as long as YOU continue to
pay any required rental or lease fees. In no event, however, shall the
Rental Warranty Period exceed three (3) years. Continued repair or
replacement after the expiration of a Rental Warranty Period shall
be at the sole discretion of RIM, and the continuance of a program of
repair and replacement after the expiration of the Rental Warranty
Period shall not constitute a waiver of RIM’s right to terminate this
Limited Warranty or to declare that the Limited Warranty is no
longer in effect. The Purchase Warranty Period and the Rental
Warranty Period shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Applicable
Warranty Period”, meaning one or the other of the Purchase
Warranty Period or the Rental Warranty Period, as the context may
require. This Limited Warranty is not transferable. During the
Applicable Warranty Period, the BlackBerry Hardware, or one or
more of the BlackBerry Hardware components, will be repaired or
replaced at RIM's option, without charge for either parts or labor. If
the BlackBerry Hardware (or component thereof) is repaired or
replaced during the Applicable Warranty Period, the Applicable
Warranty Period will expire, if a Purchase Warranty Period, upon

the later of the 91st day after repair or replacement or one year from
the date of original purchase. If the Applicable Warranty Period is a
Rental Warranty Period, the Applicable Warranty Period will expire
upon the earlier of YOU failing to pay any applicable charge or fee
or three years from the date the BlackBerry Hardware was first put
into service. Please consult your BlackBerry Handheld Installation
& User’s Guide for instructions on how to obtain customer support
for your BlackBerry Hardware.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear, and
does not cover repair or replacement of any BlackBerry Hardware
damaged by misuse, accident, abuse, neglect, misapplication, or
defects due to repairs or modifications made by anyone other than
RIM or its authorized service representative. This Limited Warranty
does not cover physical damage to the surface of the BlackBerry
Hardware, including cracks or scratches on the LCD screen. This
Limited Warranty does not apply to any equipment other than the
BlackBerry Hardware as defined in this Limited Warranty, i.e., it
does not apply to any alkaline battery provided with your purchase,
rental, lease or other means of acquiring the BlackBerry Solution, or
any damage caused by the leakage or any other malfunction of an
alkaline battery or any other accessory or peripheral equipment.
This Limited Warranty also does not apply if the malfunction
results from the use of the BlackBerry Hardware in conjunction with
accessories, products, services or ancillary or peripheral equipment
not approved or provided by RIM, and where it is determined by
RIM that such malfunction is not the fault of the BlackBerry
Hardware itself. Additionally, if malfunction results from the
failure of the user to abide by the Safety Information contained in
the package with the BlackBerry Solution, the Limited Warranty
may be void, and if it is not void, it shall not apply. Data backup is
presumed to be the responsibility of the user of the BlackBerry
Hardware. Neither your Wireless Solution Provider nor RIM is
responsible for data that may be damaged or lost at any time,
including, without limitation data lost or damaged during the
servicing of the BlackBerry Hardware, or through the use of

synchronization software. In as much as the wireless data service
provided as part of the BlackBerry Solution is provided via RIM
from a third party provider, we cannot guarantee or warrant that
the wireless data service will always be available or will always
function properly. For this and other reasons, the BlackBerry
Solution should not be relied upon for the transmission of data
relating to emergency or life-threatening or mission critical
situations, and RIM disclaims any liability on its behalf and on
