To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines when carrying the BlackBerry device on your body, use only accessories that are supplied or approved by Research In Motion (RIM). Use of accessories that are not expressly approved by RIM might violate FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines and might void any warranty applicable to the BlackBerry device. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by RIM when carrying the BlackBerry device, keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body when the device is connected to a wireless network. When using any data feature of the BlackBerry device, with or without an accessory cable, position the device at least 0.98 inches (25 mm) from your body.

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

The BlackBerry® device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.

The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:

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.
