-001, Automotive charger ASY-04195-001, or other charging accessory provided or specifically approved by
Research In Motion Limited (RIM) for use with this device. Any approval from RIM under this document must be in
writing and must be from a person authorized to provide such approval. Use of any other accessory might invalidate any
warranty provided with the device and might be dangerous.
Use the charging accessories provided with the device or any other 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 wall 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 wall 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 device. Unplug charging accessories during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
Do not use charging accessories outside or in any area exposed to the elements.
Refer to the documentation that came with the device for more information on inserting the lithium-ion battery and
connecting the power supply.

battery in a fire. Dispose of the lithium-ion battery in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing
disposal of such 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 60°C (140°F). Do not allow metal objects to
