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.

wireless devices and other steps that the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have
access to telecommunications services, visit www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

EU regulatory conformance
BlackBerry hereby declares that this smartphone is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive
1999/5/EC.


BlackBerry Classic SQC100-3 smartphone:


If you have a Wi-Fi enabled smartphone, your smartphone may be operated on Wi-Fi networks in all
European Union member countries. This equipment may be operated in Turkey.
The Official Journal of the European Union Commission Decision of 12 February 2007 states that in the
frequency band 5.150 to 5.350 GHz, wireless access systems (WAS), including radio local area networks
(RLANs), shall be restricted to indoor use. Since the creation of a network is within the domain of the
wireless access point and the access point is a master device, this smartphone never initiates the creation
of a network or attaches to a network in ad-hoc mode in the 5.150 to 5.350 GHz frequency band.

Additional regulatory conformance
Specific details about compliance to the standards and regulatory bodies for your smartphone may be
obtained from BlackBerry.
For additional Type Approval information, go to the Regulatory Approvals drop-down list on the About
screen in the Settings app on your smartphone.
