Important safety information for the RIM 950 and the RIM
957
Please read these safety instructions and the operation instructions provided in this manual and the Installation and
Getting Started Guide before operating the handheld or its cradle. Retain these instructions for future use.
Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of the 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.
The handheld is not an FAA-approved electronic device for use on aircrafts. 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 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.
Note that the Auto On/Off function on the handheld does not affect radio operation, and the radio remains on even when the handheld has been turned off by the Auto On/Off function.
Before entering an area where radio devices are forbidden or may otherwise disrupt the operation of other equipment, ensure that the radio has been turned off by turning on your handheld and manually turning off the radio in the Home screen.
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 cradle as a means of storing your handheld while in a vehicle.
WARNING Do not use any cradle or any other accessory or attachment that is not manufactured by RIM 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.
Do not place the handheld or its 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.
Use only those battery types specified in the Installation and
Getting Started Guide. The use of any other batteries may disable the handheld and may be dangerous. Use proper care when disposing of your handheld. As the unit contains a lithium ion cell, neither the handheld nor the lithium ion cell (nor the alkaline (AA) battery) should be disposed of in fire. Dispose of the handheld containing the lithium ion cell in accordance with the laws 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 ion cell, or the AA battery.
The handheld should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. 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 handheld or its 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 handheld or cradle 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 or cradle. Do not use the handheld or cradle near water
(for example near a bathtub, or a sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.). The handheld and its cradle should be situated away from heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the handheld or cradle to rain or moisture.

Automatic formatting
The handheld’s built-in formatting capabilities extend beyond the

Auto capitalization
As you compose a message, you do not have to worry about pressing the SHIFT key to capitalize words — the handheld has two methods of performing capitalization for you.
• Begin typing; you will see that the first letter you type is capitalized automatically and that every letter following a
Handheld User’s Guide
Composing and sending messages — Automatic formatting 35 period becomes capitalized too. The handheld recognizes the beginning of a new sentence and does the work for you.
• If you want any other characters to be capitalized, press and hold the character key until it becomes capitalized. You must have the Key Rate (Options>Screen/Keyboard) option set to either Slow or Fast for this feature to work.
Auto punctuation
You can insert a period automatically at the end of a sentence or word by pressing the SPACE key twice. The next letter you type will be capitalized.
Email fields
You can type an email address in an Email field without pressing the ALT key. Begin typing an email address; instead of pressing ALT +
L to insert the ‘@’ sign, simply press the SPACE key to do so. When you press the SPACE key again, a ‘.’ character will be inserted.
To insert a blank space into an Email field, press BACKSPACE and then press SPACE again. A blank space appears in the field. The next time you press the SPACE key, the ‘@’ sign appears.
Number fields
You can type numbers in the PIN, Work, Home, Mobile, Fax, and
Pager fields without pressing the ALT key.
To type a number in one of these fields, simply press the associated character key. For example, to display the number ‘4’, press the ‘R’ key. You can do this for all of the numeric characters and the ‘-‘, ‘+’,
‘x’ and ‘.’ characters.
Note To enter hexadecimal characters (a, b, c, d, e, and f) in a number field, you must press the ALT key while pressing the associated letter. For example, to enter an ‘e’ in the PIN field, press and hold the ALT key while pressing the E key.
