IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INFORMATION  
Please read these safety instructions and the operation instructions  
provided in this manual before operating the RIM 850 Wireless  
Handheld or its charging cradle. Retain these instructions for future  
use.  
Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of  
the RIM 850 Wireless 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. In addition, the RIM 850  
Wireless Handheld should not be used in locations that may be  
hazardous including, without limitation, locations in which  
hazardous or combustible gases may be present.  
The RIM 850 Wireless Handheld is not an FAA-approved electronic  
device for use on aircraft. 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  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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.  
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 charging cradle as a means of  
storing your handheld while in a vehicle.  
Do not use any cradle, charging unit, or any other  
accessory or attachment that is not manufactured 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.  
WARNING  
Do not place the RIM 850 Wireless Handheld or its charging 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.  
RIM recommends that you use only single-use alkaline or  
rechargeable NiMH batteries in this unit. There is a list on page 22  
of recommended brands of rechargeable NiMH batteries. The use of  
any other battery may disable the handheld and may be dangerous.  
Only plug in the charging cradle AC wall adapter if you are going to  
use the recharging feature. Discard the handheld properly. As the  
unit contains a lithium cell, neither the handheld nor the lithium cell  
(nor the AA battery) should be disposed of in fire. Dispose of the  
handheld containing the lithium cell in accordance with the laws  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 cell, or the AA battery.  
The handheld should be operated only from the type of power  
source indicated on the marking label. Refer to the operating  
instructions starting on page 22 for more information on the battery  
and power supply. 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  
charging 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 RIM 850 Wireless Handheld  
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.  
Do not use the handheld near water (for example near a bathtub or a  
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.). The RIM 850  
Wireless Handheld and its charging cradle should be situated away  
from heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose  
the handheld to rain or moisture.

improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and  
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore  
the handheld or charging cradle to its normal operation.  
Unplug the charging cradle from the wall before cleaning. Do not  
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Rather, use a damp cloth to clean the  
unit.  
Failure to observe all these instructions will void the Limited  
Warranty, and may lead to suspension or denial of services to the  
offender, or legal action, or both.

Get to know your handheld — Handheld components  
In low light conditions, you can increase the readability of the LCD  
by using the backlighting feature. To activate backlighting, press the  
ALT key three times. The backlight will shut off automatically if you  
do not press any keys or use the trackwheel for more than 10  
seconds.  
Keyboard and trackwheel  
The 31-key QWERTY keyboard provides access to all of the regular  
alphabetic characters; numeric characters,  
a
symbols library,  
punctuation, and special characters can be generated using the  
orange ALT key in combination with the other keys. For easy typing,  
hold the device in both hands and use your thumbs. Roll and click  
the trackwheel for navigation and selection.  
A trackwheel that clicks!  
The trackwheel on the handheld has a unique feature for greater  
usability and performance: it clicks! Pressing down on the  
trackwheel with your thumb is comparable to the clicking function  
of your PC mouse. Click to open menus and to select functions and  
menu options.  
Battery compartment  
The handheld operates on one AA alkaline battery or one NiMH  
rechargeable battery housed in the battery compartment at the back  
of the handheld. See page 22 for more information on the battery.  
Holster (belt clip)  
A holster, equipped with a belt clip, accompanies the handheld.  
While in the holster, the handheld is protected and wearable. You  
can choose different forms of message notification based on whether  
the handheld is in or out of the holster.

Get to know your handheld — Handheld components  
When you receive a new message and remove the handheld from  
the holster within five seconds, notification (based on how you’ve  
set it) stops and the most recently received message will be open. If  
you pull the handheld out of the holster and quickly replace it,  
notification stops but the message will remain marked unread. See  
“Setting message notification” on page 39 for information on  
notification options.  
Serial port  
The serial port on the bottom of the handheld fits into the prongs of  
the charging cradle. You must connect the cradle to your PC to use  
the Desktop Software (provided on the CD with your package).  
The Desktop Software supports standard USB-to-serial port  
converters. See Chapter 3, “Using the Desktop Software” for more  
information on installation procedures and serial connection details.  
Charging cradle  
The charging cradle provides a link between the handheld and your  
PC, so that you may use the Desktop Software provided with your  
package. See Chapter 3, “Using the Desktop Software” for more  
information on the cradle and the capabilities of the Desktop  
Software.  
If you are using a rechargeable NiMH battery, you can use the  
charging cradle and accompanying AC adapter to recharge the  
battery. If the handheld is correctly placed in the charging cradle,  
the AC adapter is plugged in, and the handheld is using a valid  
NiMH rechargeable battery, the battery will be recharged.

Get to know your handheld — Installing the battery  
Installing the battery  
Depending on usage, the handheld can operate for weeks using a  
single AA alkaline battery or a rechargeable NiMH battery. The  
handheld will work best if you use standard, high quality alkaline  
or NiMH batteries.  
If you choose to use an AA alkaline cell in the charging  
cradle when synchronizing with your PC, we recommend  
that you unplug the AC adapter. This will ensure that the  
charging cradle does not attempt to charge the alkaline cell.  
Note  
RIM recommends using the Sanyo NiMH model HR-3U (supplied  
with the handheld) when recharging the handheld's battery with  
the charging cradle.  
The Energizer NH15 NiMH is a suitable alternative for the Sanyo  
HR-3U. It has a lower capacity than the Sanyo battery so it will need  
to be recharged more frequently. It is, however, readily available  
from many retail locations.  
RIM has also performed limited testing on NiMH batteries from  
Gold Peak Group and Radio Shack (Tandy). While not certified for  
general use in the RIM 850 Wireless Handheld, you may wish to try  
them as substitutes for the Sanyo or Energizer cells. If you encounter  
any difficulties when using these batteries, return to using the  
Sanyo or Energizer cells.  
1. To remove the battery cover, slide the lock to the right and pull  
the cover up and off.

Get to know your handheld — Installing the battery  
2. Once you have removed the battery cover, remove the old  
battery and insert a new one. When inserting the new battery,  
make sure that the connectors are aligned for the correct  
polarity. The handheld will vibrate and beep if the battery has  
not been inserted properly.  
.
If your handheld does not turn on after you have inserted  
the battery, then either the battery is too low or the internal  
lithium battery is discharged. Allow the battery to recharge  
the internal lithium battery by leaving the handheld turned  
off for 6 to 8 hours. See page 163 for answers to frequently  
asked questions about the battery.

Get to know your handheld — Installing the battery  
Recharging the battery  
The charging cradle contained in your package is used to recharge  
the NiMH battery that powers the handheld.  
1. Plug the supplied AC adapter into a power source.  
2. Place the handheld in the charging cradle so that the  
handheld’s serial port is securely connected to the charging  
cradle. When the charging cradle and handheld are connected  
and the charging cradle is plugged in to a power source, the  
green LED on the cradle will be solid for a period of time, in  
which the cradle is detecting and testing the battery. The  
charging cradle then begins a charging cycle.  
3. The green LED on the charging cradle will flash continually  
and the battery power indicator on the handheld’s Home  
screen will be replaced with the charging indicator to show that  
the battery is being charged.  
4. When charging is complete, the green LED returns to a solid  
green light. If the green LED turns off at any point during the  
charging cycle, there may be a problem with the battery, the  
charging cradle, or any of the connections, (e.g. the AC adapter,  
the handheld.) A complete charging cycle may take as long as 8  
hours but it will typically take less time to fully recharge the  
battery.  
5. To release the handheld from the charging cradle, brace the  
bottom of the charging cradle with your thumb and gently pull  
the top of the handheld towards you.

25  
Get to know your handheld — Turning on your handheld  
Allow the handheld to complete its charging cycle every time  
you attempt to charge it. Do not remove the handheld from the  
cradle while the green LED is flashing. A charging cycle is  
complete when the green LED is solid.  
Keeping the handheld in the cradle for a short time (5-15  
minutes) during synchronization with your PC will not  
negatively affect the rechargeable battery. However, keeping  
the handheld in the cradle longer than the time required for  
synchronizing, yet not long enough to complete the battery  
charging cycle, is not recommended.  
When using a non-rechargable battery, such as an Alkaline cell,  
unplug the AC adapter from the charging cradle while  
synchronizing to ensure that the cradle does not attempt to  
charge the alkaline battery.  
Only recharge your handheld when the battery level indicator  
on the handheld’s Home screen shows one or two bars. Do not  
recharge when the battery level is at three or more bars.  
Turning on your handheld  
1. Click (press down) on the trackwheel. The Home screen  
appears, from which you can select any of the handheld’s main  
functions.  
2. Using the trackwheel, scroll through the icons to view the  
functions. The name of each function appears at the bottom of  
the screen.  
3. To select a function, scroll to the appropriate icon and click the  
trackwheel to open that function’s screen.  
You can also select a function by pressing the underlined  
character in the function’s name. For example, press M for  
Messages.

You must install the Desktop Software in order to send and receive  
email, synchronize your email and Personal Information  
Management data, and use the other Desktop Software tools.  
One Setup window will ask you to select the method of  
email redirection: either the BlackBerry Desktop Redirector  
or the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you are unsure as to  
which method you’ll be using to redirect email from your  
Inbox to your handheld, contact your IT administrator.

Connect the handheld to your PC  
When connecting the handheld to the PC, use only the  
charging cradle provided by Research In Motion Limited.  
Note  
When you first receive your handheld, you must insert it into  
the cradle (with the AC connector plugged into a power  
outlet) and allow the handheld to fully charge to activate it.  
1. Ensure that you have properly installed the Desktop Software.  
If it is not already open, launch the Desktop Manager by  
selecting it from the Start>Programs menu.  
2. Plug the charging cradle into an available power source (if you  
are using a rechargeable battery, otherwise leave unplugged).  
Insert the end of the charging cradle cable into a COM port on  
the back of your PC.  
3. Secure the handheld in the cradle by inserting the connector  
port on the bottom edge of the handheld into the connector  
prongs of the cradle and press firmly in place.  
If the password is enabled, you must enter it before you can  
connect to the desktop. See page 40 for more information

Enabling email redirection  
If your PC will be redirecting email from your desktop to the  
handheld, you must run the Desktop Redirector on your PC. (The  
Desktop Redirector software is installed at the same time the  
Desktop Manager is installed.) To launch the Redirector, select it  
from your Start>Programs menu.  
In the Redirector Status window, you will notice that the Status  
field indicates “Running” and the PIN field shows your handheld’s  
personal identification number. Now that you have activated your  
handheld and completed the installation, you are ready to begin  
sending and receiving email.  
If your company will be redirecting email to your handheld using  
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software, you do not have to run  
the Desktop Redirector. Please ensure that your IT administrator  
has set up your handheld on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You  
can still use the Redirector Status window to view your email

Redirector Status window, which displays the status of any email  
transactions between the handheld and your PC.  
If you’re using the Desktop Redirector, your computer must  
be powered ON at all times with the Desktop Redirector  
running. If your computer is turned off, your email will not be  
redirected to the handheld. Closing the Redirector Status  
window will stop email redirection and the icon will no  
longer appear in the SysTray. If you accidentally close  
instead of minimize the window, open the program again for  
redirection to continue.  
WARNING  
If your company uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to  
redirect email, the Desktop Redirector does not have to be  
running in order for your email to be redirected.  
To check your email redirection settings  
1. Place your handheld in the cradle and connect it to your PC. In  
the Desktop Manager, double-click Redirector Settings. The  
Redirector Settings window appears, organized into the

of the message.  
The To and BCC Default filter forwards all messages to  
your handheld when your address appears in the To or

Using the Desktop Software — Redirecting email  
BCC fields of the message.  
If the body of your messages aren’t being redirected from  
Note  
your PC to the handheld, check to see how these  
messages are addressed to you. If you are addressed in  
the Cc field of the message, the default filter will not redirect  
the body of the message to you.  
4. In the Security tab, you can generate security keys for  
encryption and decryption of your messages. Unless you  
change the settings, you are automatically prompted to  
generate security keys when you insert your handheld into the  
cradle, if keys need to be generated.  
5. In the Advanced tab, you can control the settings that affect the  
email profile being used, folder redirection settings, and  
whether or not you want a copy of messages saved in the Sent  
Items desktop folder.  
Once you have specified all of your email redirection settings, click  
OK.  
To add a redirection filter  
Filters help you manage your email by automatically performing  
actions on received messages using filter settings (rules). Rules are  
the sets of conditions and actions that make up a filter. Use the  
following procedure to create a new redirection filter:  
1. In the Filters tab of the Redirector Settings window, click New  
to open the Add Filter window.  
2. In the Filter Name field, type a name to describe the new filter.

arriving at your desktop that meets the condition(s) will be  
subject to this filter.  
4. When you have selected the conditions that must be fulfilled  
for this filter, decide whether the message will be forwarded to  
the handheld, forwarded with Level 1 notification, forwarded  
with only the header, or held at your PC.  
5. When you have set the conditions and actions, click OK. On the  
Filters tab you will see the new filter in the list.  
To rearrange the order of your filters, select the filter you’d like to  
move and click the up or down arrow buttons.  
As each email message arrives at your PC, the first filter  
rule listed that matches the criteria of that message will  
dictate whether that message will be redirected. Therefore,  
when adding a filter that is more restrictive in nature than  
the defaults, ensure that it is placed at the TOP of the filter  
list, so that it will be applied first to the incoming messages.  
Note  
If you have set Inbox Assistant rules on your desktop to  
move specific messages to a different folder as soon as  
they arrive in your Inbox, these messages will only be  
forwarded to your handheld if you specify email redirection  
from that folder. You can change the folders from which  
email is redirected in the Advanced tab. See the online help  
for more information on folder redirection and the Advanced  
tab.

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  
period becomes capitalized too. The handheld recognizes the  
beginning of a new sentence and does the work for you.

Number fields  
You can type numbers in the PIN, Work, Home, Mobile, Pager, and  
Fax 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. These fields support all numeric characters and the ‘-‘, ‘+’, ‘x’  
and ‘.’ characters without pressing the ALT key.  
To enter hexadecimal characters, you must press the ALT  
key when 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.

Managing messages  
Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the features and functions that the  
handheld provides for sending and receiving messages. Now, find  
out how you can organize, customize, and search your list of  
messages more efficiently.  
Filing messages  
Once you have installed the Desktop Software and have  
synchronized your handheld and your PC, you can file messages  
into folders. (See Chapter 2, “Start Sending Email”, for more  
information on installing the Desktop Software.)  
The first time you synchronize your handheld and PC, the names  
and structure of the folders in your desktop email program are  
imported onto the handheld. If you file a message on your handheld  
and then synchronize with your desktop, the messages are moved  
and filed as you have specified.  
1. In the Home screen, scroll to the MESSAGES icon and click.  
2. In the Messages screen, scroll to a message and click to view  
the menu. Scroll to File Message and click.

message, click to view the menu. Scroll to File Message and  
click.  
You return to the Messages screen, where your message will appear  
with a file folder icon beside it (if you have filed the message into a  
folder other than the Desktop or Inbox).  
You can also file a message while it is open.  
Note  
You cannot create a new folder using your handheld. If you  
want a new folder on your handheld, you must create it in  
your desktop email program, then perform an email  
reconciliation to transfer the new folder to your handheld.  
If you do not want to show filed messages in the Messages  
screen, set the Hide Filed Messages option to Yes in the  
Message List Options screen. See page 69 for more  
information on setting the Message List Options.

After a message has been filed, you can verify the message  
placement by opening the message and scrolling to the top of the  
screen. The Folder field will indicate in which folder the message is  
filed.  
Saving messages  
Save important messages by copying them to a separate list. It is  
important to save any messages you want to keep for future  
reference. If the handheld needs to delete old messages to free  
memory space, saved messages are not deleted. If you have set the  
Message List Options to delete messages from the desktop and the  
handheld, you should save messages if you do not want them  
deleted from your handheld upon email reconciliation. See page 111  
for more information on deleting messages from both systems.  
To save a received or sent message  
You may wish to save a received or sent message to retain it for  
future use.  
An icon in front of the message header indicates message  
status (sent, received, etc.). See page 36 for an explanation  
of each icon.

Frequently asked questions  
This chapter includes answers to some common questions about the  
handheld.  
Alarm  
Why is my alarm not sounding when I’ve set the time?  
Ensure that you have enabled the alarm by setting the Alarm  
On/Off field to ‘On.’ When the alarm is set, a bell icon appears  
on the Home screen. See page 151 for information on setting  
this field.  
Battery  
Can I use a NiCd rechargeable alkaline or any other non-NiMH  
cell in my handheld in conjunction with the charging cradle?  
It is not recommended to use a NiCd rechargeable alkaline or  
any other non-NiMH cell. We suggest using the Sanyo NiMH  
model HR-3U or the other cells indicated in this manual. See  
page 22 for more information on installing the battery.  
How can I conserve battery life?  
Following these suggestions will help you get the most out of your  
rechargeable NiMH cell or single-use alkaline battery.  
Enable the Auto On/Off feature at night and weekends.

person, use multiple recipients in one message rather than  
transmitting the same message more than once. See  
page 75 for information on composing a message to  
multiple recipients.  
Remember that battery consumption is reflected in the amount of  
use. A heavy email user who sends and receives numerous  
messages every day will consume battery power more quickly than  
an infrequent user.  
What should I do when I see the message “Battery too low for  
handheld usage”?  
If using a rechargeable NiMH battery, place the handheld in the  
charging cradle and allow the cradle to perform a complete  
charging cycle.  
If using an AA alkaline cell, replace it with a fresh battery. See  
page 22 for information on inserting the battery.  
If your NiMH needs to be recharged but it is a not convenient  
time to recharge, temporarily replace the NiHM with an AA  
alkaline cell.  
What should I do if my handheld does not turn on?  
Make sure the AA battery is properly installed or try inserting a  
new battery. You may have to leave the handheld turned off for  
6-8 hours to charge the internal battery. See page 22 for more  
information on inserting the battery.  
If the handheld will not turn on after replacing the battery, reset  
the handheld. See page 176 for more information on resetting  
the handheld.

Frequently asked questions — Storage  
Storage  
Are there any special storage instructions for my handheld?  
Products that use alkaline or NiMH batteries require special storage  
procedures as presented below.  
Before storing your handheld for an extended period of  
time, you should save information on the handheld to your  
PC using the Desktop Software’s Backup/Restore tool.  
Note  
What should I do if I won’t be using my handheld for a short  
period of time?  
If you expect that you will not be using your handheld for a  
short period of time (two weeks or less), you should turn the  
handheld off. In the Home screen, scroll to the POWER OFF  
icon on the functions list and click.  
What should I do if I won’t be using my handheld for a longer  
period of time?  
If you expect that you will not be using your handheld for up to  
6 months, then you should remove the battery from the unit.  
The handheld shuts down, and after approximately 24 hours  
enters a special storage state. You should store the handheld in  
a cool, dry place. When you press any keys or click the  
trackwheel while the handheld is in this state, the unit will not  
respond.  
To reactivate the handheld, you must install a new AA battery  
or a fully charged rechargeable NiMH. (A partially charged  
NiMH battery may not be powerful enough to reactivate the  
unit). Once the new battery is installed, the handheld should  
turn on and will read “Initializing”.  
All of your stored addresses and messages will be preserved while  
the handheld is turned off. However, the date and time will be  
incorrect. See page 38 for information on setting the date and time

Frequently asked questions — Charging Cradle  
or to update this information automatically, simply synchronize the  
handheld with the Desktop Software’s Intellisync tool.  
Charging Cradle  
My battery is a NiMH rechargeable AA but the charging cradle  
won’t charge it.  
Ensure that you are following the recommended practices on  
page 24 for charging your handheld in order to get maximum  
battery performance.  
Replace the existing battery with another rechargeable NiMH  
battery.  
Try removing the handheld from the charging cradle and  
unplugging the cradle. Then reconnect the cradle to the power  
source and reinsert the handheld.  
How warm will the charging cradle get when I recharge the  
battery?  
The charging cradle will feel warm to the touch while it is  
recharging the NiMH battery in the handheld. However, it should  
not get hot enough to burn. If it does become overly warm to the  
touch, return it to your service provider.  
While the handheld is in the cradle, the green light is  
sometimes off, sometimes flashes, and is sometimes on. What  
do each of these actions mean?  
If the LED is off while the handheld is in the cradle it means that  
either the AC adapter or the handheld is not properly connected to  
the charging cradle; it may also be an indication that the battery is  
not a NiMH rechargeable battery, or that it is damaged.  
If the green LED is flashing, the battery is being recharged.

Frequently asked questions — Charging Cradle  
A solid green light will display when you first insert the handheld  
in the charging cradle and when the battery is fully charged.  
How long will it take to recharge the battery?  
It will take approximately 8 hours to fully charge a completely  
drained battery.  
My rechargeable battery is completely drained, but the  
charging cradle won’t recharge it.  
There could be several reasons the charging cradle won’t recharge  
the battery  
Is the handheld properly attached to the charging cradle?  
If the handheld is not properly connected, the charging  
cradle is unable to detect the battery.  
Is the AC adapter attached to the charging cradle? If the  
adapter is not connected, the charging cradle will not  
detect the battery nor charge it.  
Does the handheld contain a rechargeable battery? The  
charging cradle will not begin charging if the battery is not  
a rechargeable cell. If you would like to use the recharge  
capabilities of the charging cradle, you should not use a  
single-use alkaline battery, or a non-NiMH rechargeable  
battery in your handheld. See page 22 for information on  
installing the battery, including recommended battery  
types.  
Ensure that the temperature in which you are operating  
the charging cradle is between 0°C to +45°C.  
Ensure that you are following the recommended practices  
on page 24 for charging your handheld in order to get  
maximum battery performance.

Frequently asked questions — Messages  
Messages  
Why did I have two messages on my handheld before I turned  
on the radio?  
These messages are pre-loaded to help you learn about the  
handheld when you first receive it.  
Why are my messages not being sent out?  
You can tell that messages have not been sent because they have a  
clock icon beside them.  
Check that the handheld’s radio has been turned on (select  
the TURN WIRELESS ON icon), and check that you are  
within range of network coverage (check the coverage  
indicator in the Home screen). See page 47 for more  
information.  
Check the Network Settings screen to ensure that your  
handheld has been activated on the network. If the Status  
field in this screen is Pending, call your service provider to  
have your handheld activated.  
You can try resending your message. As long as there is a  
clock icon beside the message when you resend it, another  
attempt is made to transmit the original message. A copy is  
not sent. See page 112 for more information on how to  
resend messages.  
Why am I not receiving all my messages?  
There are several reasons why email may not be redirected to your  
handheld.  
Is your PC turned on? If you are using the Desktop  
Redirector to forward your email, your desktop computer  
must be on any time you want to receive messages on your  
handheld. If your company is using the BlackBerry  
Enterprise Server to forward your email, you do not need

to leave your PC turned on.  
Is the Desktop Redirector running? If you are using the  
Desktop Redirector to forward your email, verify that it is  
running; its icon should be in the Windows SysTray (in the  
bottom right corner of your PC). If your company is using  
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to forward your email,  
check the Desktop Redirector for possible error messages.  
See the Desktop Redirector online help included with the  
software for information.  
Is your handheld in the cradle connected to your PC? By  
default, if the handheld is in the cradle, you will not  
receive any messages on your handheld while the Desktop  
Software is running. Take the handheld out of the cradle to  
find out if the messages are being forwarded properly.  
Have you created Microsoft Exchange Inbox assistant rules?  
If you have set up Inbox assistant rules that move new  
messages from the Inbox to another folder, they will not be  
forwarded to your handheld because the Inbox assistant  
moves them before they are forwarded to your handheld.  
To forward email from one of these subfolders, you must  
change the folder redirection settings in the Advanced tab  
of the Desktop Software’s Redirector Settings tool. See the  
online help for more information.  
Have you set filter rules? Check the filters in the Redirector  
Settings tool to make sure the messages you want to  
receive are being forwarded. See the Redirector Settings  
online help for information on these filters.  
Have you set the filter order correctly? The order that the  
filters appear in your list reflects the order that they will be  
applied to new messages. Check to see if one of your filters  
is preventing desired messages from being redirected to  
the handheld.

to the online help.  
How do I check if the Desktop Redirector is running?  
If the Desktop Redirector is running, the icon appears in the  
Windows SysTray in the bottom right corner of your desktop.  
To verify that it is running, double-click the icon to open the  
Redirector Status window. To learn more about the fields in  
this window, select Contents under the Help menu.

messages might not be redirected to your handheld unless you  
have specified email redirection from the folder. See the  
Redirector Settings online help for more information.  
Check the Filter rules that you have set through the Redirector  
Settings tool. If you haven’t set any of your own filters, check  
the default filters to make sure they are handling messages to  
your preference.  
Why does a new mail envelope icon appear in the Windows  
SysTray, but my desktop Inbox does not display any new mail?  
The Desktop Redirector communicates with your handheld  
over the wireless network through email. This two-way  
communication results in delivery acknowledgements arriving  
in your Inbox. The email Redirector recognizes these “Relay”  
messages, and automatically deletes them. Microsoft Outlook  
will notify you of these incoming “Relay” messages, so the  
envelope icon will appear in your SysTray even after the  
messages have been automatically deleted.  
I am a Microsoft Outlook user. How do I synchronize with both  
my Outlook Contacts and my company’s Exchange Global  
Address List?  
If you don’t mind having Global Addresses merged with your  
Contacts in Outlook, perform steps 2, 3 & 5. If you wish to keep the  
two address lists separate in Outlook, perform steps 1-6.  
1. Open Outlook on your PC and select Contacts in the  
Mailbox list. Select File>New>Folder. Name your new  
folder Global; the entries from the Exchange Address List  
will be placed in this folder.  
2. Launch the Desktop Manager and double-click the Backup

Frequently asked questions — Resetting the handheld  
Why should I generate new keys? How often should this be  
done?  
Messages are encrypted when they are sent between your PC  
and the handheld. Your handheld can only receive messages  
that were sent with the correct encryption. You need to  
generate keys to establish the random encryption codes that  
enable your PC to communicate with your handheld.  
Encryption is used as a security measure to ensure that only  
your handheld can receive messages sent from your PC.  
Using the Redirector Settings tool, you can manually generate  
keys whenever you wish, or you can set your PC to remind you  
to generate keys every month. For maximum security, new  
keys should be generated every two to four weeks.  
If I get an error message, how can I find out what it means?  
You’ll find a list of possible error messages, and tips for what to  
do when you get an error message, in the Desktop Redirector

Resetting the handheld  
On rare occasions, the handheld may report an internal handheld  
error message, instructing you to press ‘R’ to reset. Doing so will  
return the handheld to normal operation after a few minutes. Try  
sending yourself a message and check that all the information has  
been properly restored in the Status screen.  
There is also a reset hole located on the back of the handheld, below  
the bottom label. Normally, you will not need to use this method of  
reset. However, if the handheld ‘locks up’ (no longer responds  
when you press keys or use the trackwheel) you can use this  
method to reset the handheld. One end of a paper clip can be

Limited Warranty  
Research In Motion Limited (“RIM”), the manufacturer and  
provider of the BlackBerry Solution, comprising the BlackBerry  
Handheld, which together with the BlackBerry Cradle and Holster  
comprise the BlackBerry Hardware, the BlackBerry Desktop  
Software, and the associated wireless data service and  
documentation, warrants to YOU, the end-user (“YOU”), that the  
BlackBerry Hardware will be free from defects in workmanship and  
materials for a period that is the shorter of (i) one (1) year from the  
date that the BlackBerry Hardware was first purchased by YOU as  
an original end-user and (ii) the period ending upon your breach of  
the End-User’s Agreement entered into when YOU ordered the  
BlackBerry Solution (the “Purchase Warranty Period”). If YOU  
obtain the BlackBerry Hardware through a rental or lease program,  
or any other non-purchase program, the warranty period (the  
“Rental Warranty Period”) shall be for as long as YOU continue to  
pay any required rental or lease fees. In no event, however, shall the  
Rental Warranty Period exceed three (3) years. Continued repair or  
replacement after the expiration of a Rental Warranty Period shall  
be at the sole discretion of RIM, and the continuance of a program of  
repair and replacement after the expiration of the Rental Warranty  
Period shall not constitute a waiver of RIM’s right to terminate this  
Limited Warranty or to declare that the Limited Warranty is no  
longer in effect. The Purchase Warranty Period and the Rental  
Warranty Period shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Applicable  
Warranty Period”, meaning one or the other of the Purchase  
Warranty Period or the Rental Warranty Period, as the context may  
require. This Limited Warranty is not transferable. During the  
Applicable Warranty Period, the BlackBerry Hardware, or one or  
more of the BlackBerry Hardware components, will be repaired or  
replaced at RIM's option, without charge for either parts or labor. If  
the BlackBerry Hardware (or component thereof) is repaired or  
replaced during the Applicable Warranty Period, the Applicable  
Warranty Period will expire, if a Purchase Warranty Period, upon

Limited Warranty  
the later of the 91st day after repair or replacement or one year from  
the date of original purchase. If the Applicable Warranty Period is a  
Rental Warranty Period, the Applicable Warranty Period will expire  
upon the earlier of YOU failing to pay any applicable charge or fee  
or three years from the date the BlackBerry Hardware was first put  
into service. Please consult your BlackBerry Handheld Installation  
& User’s Guide for instructions on how to obtain customer support  
for your BlackBerry Hardware.  
This Limited Warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear, and  
does not cover repair or replacement of any BlackBerry Hardware  
damaged by misuse, accident, abuse, neglect, misapplication, or  
defects due to repairs or modifications made by anyone other than  
RIM or its authorized service representative. This Limited Warranty  
does not cover physical damage to the surface of the BlackBerry  
Hardware, including cracks or scratches on the LCD screen. This  
Limited Warranty does not apply to any equipment other than the  
BlackBerry Hardware as defined in this Limited Warranty, i.e., it  
does not apply to any alkaline battery provided with your purchase,  
rental, lease or other means of acquiring the BlackBerry Solution, or  
any damage caused by the leakage or any other malfunction of an  
alkaline battery or any other accessory or peripheral equipment.  
This Limited Warranty also does not apply if the malfunction  
results from the use of the BlackBerry Hardware in conjunction with  
accessories, products, services or ancillary or peripheral equipment  
not approved or provided by RIM, and where it is determined by  
RIM that such malfunction is not the fault of the BlackBerry  
Hardware itself. Additionally, if malfunction results from the  
failure of the user to abide by the Safety Information contained in  
the package with the BlackBerry Solution, the Limited Warranty  
may be void, and if it is not void, it shall not apply. Data backup is  
presumed to be the responsibility of the user of the BlackBerry  
Hardware. Neither your Wireless Solution Provider nor RIM is  
responsible for data that may be damaged or lost at any time,  
including, without limitation data lost or damaged during the  
servicing of the BlackBerry Hardware, or through the use of

synchronization software. In as much as the wireless data service  
provided as part of the BlackBerry Solution is provided via RIM  
from a third party provider, we cannot guarantee or warrant that  
the wireless data service will always be available or will always  
function properly. For this and other reasons, the BlackBerry  
Solution should not be relied upon for the transmission of data  
relating to emergency or life-threatening or mission critical  
situations, and RIM disclaims any liability on its behalf and on  
behalf of its Wireless Solution Providers for events or damages  
resulting from such reliance or the failure of the wireless data  
service to perform or to be available for your use of the BlackBerry  
Solution, including, without limitation, the lack of service coverage  
in the area in which YOU wish to use the BlackBerry Solution. To  
the extent the third party providing the wireless data service  
provides any warranties or guarantees that may be passed on to  
YOU, such warranties and/or guarantees are automatically passed  
on to YOU without any further effort on your part or on the part of  
RIM.  
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT IS THE  
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED TO YOU. UNDER THE LAWS  
OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THE LAWS OF THE SEVERAL  
STATES OF THE UNITED STATES, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY  
IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
