Electrical safety

Charge the BlackBerry® device using only the USB cable HDW-06610-001, travel charger ASY-04078-001, ASY-07040-001, or ASY-07559-001, automotive charger ASY-04195-001, or other charging accessory provided or specifically approved by Research In Motion Limited (RIM) for use with this BlackBerry 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 BlackBerry device and might be dangerous.

Use the charging accessories provided with the BlackBerry device or any other RIM 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 power 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 BlackBerry 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.

For more information about inserting the lithium-ion battery and connecting the power supply, see the documentation that came with the BlackBerry device.

Battery safety and disposal

The BlackBerry® device contains a removable lithium-ion battery. Do not dispose of either the BlackBerry device or the lithium-ion 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 140°F (60°C). Do not allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals.

Use only the lithium-ion battery that Research In Motion (RIM) specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry device model. Using any other lithium-ion battery might invalidate any warranty provided with the BlackBerry device and might present a risk of fire or explosion.

Battery usage by children should be supervised.

7130g, 7130v specifications

The BlackBerry 7130v and 7130g were among the key models that encapsulated the essence of early smartphone technology, released in the mid-2000s. These devices, part of Research In Motion’s (RIM) BlackBerry lineup, were instrumental in bridging the gap between traditional mobile phones and personal digital assistants.

One of the standout features of the BlackBerry 7130 series was its sleek design, characterized by a compact form factor that offered a stylish yet professional aesthetic. The devices incorporated a full QWERTY keyboard, which, while small, allowed users to type emails and text messages efficiently. This was a crucial feature at a time when email on-the-go was becoming increasingly important for business professionals.

In terms of display, the 7130v and 7130g featured a vibrant LCD screen, measuring 2.5 inches with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. This display was optimized for readability and allowed users to navigate through menus effortlessly. The intuitive user interface was powered by the BlackBerry OS, which provided a straightforward and efficient navigation experience.

Both models were equipped with core connectivity options including GSM support, making them accessible to users around the world. This feature ensured that the devices could operate on both 2G and 3G networks, facilitating smooth communication and data transfer.

The BlackBerry 7130 series was notable for its enhanced email capabilities. RIM’s proprietary push email technology allowed users to receive emails in real-time, a feature that set BlackBerry apart from other smartphones at the time. This capability was a game-changer for professionals who depended on timely responses and constant connectivity.

Battery life was another strong suit for the 7130v and 7130g, offering up to 4 hours of talk time and days of standby time, which was impressive for devices in that era. Furthermore, the inclusion of a built-in web browser enabled users to access the internet, albeit basic, contributing to a more versatile user experience.

While the BlackBerry 7130v and 7130g are now considered relics of the past, their contribution to mobile communication cannot be overstated. They set the stage for future innovations in smartphone technology and remain iconic for their role in the evolution of mobile devices.
