SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA
THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless handheld 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 and Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC). 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 mobile handhelds 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.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC/IC with the handheld 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
handheld while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
Handheld User Guide

Important safety information
the handheld 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 handheld model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC/IC that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC/IC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model handheld when
tested for use at the ear is 1.28W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.32 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless
handheld and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handheld with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model handheld is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID L6AR6020GW.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://
www.wow-com.com.

Filing email messages
After you install the desktop software and reconcile your email messages, you can
file email messages into folders. Refer to the Intellisync Online Help for more
information on manual email reconciliation.
The first time that you reconcile your email messages between your handheld and
your desktop, the names and structure of the folders in your desktop email
program are imported to your handheld. When you file an email message on your
handheld and synchronize with your desktop, the message is moved and filed as
you have specified.
Note: You can only file email messages if you have integrated your desktop software
with an enterprise email account. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for more information
on your integration options.
If you enable wireless email reconciliation, the names and structure of the folders
in your desktop email program are imported to your handheld automatically.
When you file messages on your handheld, the messages on your desktop are also
filed. Refer to "Using wireless email reconciliation" on page 90 for more
information.
Note: You cannot file PIN messages.
You cannot create a new folder on your handheld. If you want a new folder on your
handheld, you must create it in your desktop email program, and then reconcile your
email messages to transfer the new folder to your handheld.
If you are a Microsoft Exchange user, and you set up personal folder email
reconciliation, you must reconcile your personal folders manually, even if
you have enabled wireless email reconciliation on your handheld. Refer to
the Intellisync Online Help for more information on configuring email
reconciliation and reconciling email.

• If you are opening a .pdf file that is password protected, verify that you typed the correct
password.
How do I know if I need to enter a password to view my attachment?
• The Attachment Service currently supports password-protected .pdf file attachments. If you try
to view a password-protected .pdf file attachment and you do not type a password, the
attachment request fails. An error message appears informing you that it is a
password-protected attachment. Refer to "Handheld error messages" below for more
information.
I requested an attachment and an X icon appears where the check mark usually
appears. What should I do?
• When an X appears beside a requested attachment, a problem prevented the attachment from
being retrieved. Check the file name extension of the attachment that you are requesting to
verify that it is a supported attachment type.
Why is my message marked as unread again?
• After you retrieve an attachment, the message that contains the attachment is marked as
unread on the Messages screen. This indicates that the attachment is available for viewing. The
message is marked as read after you open the message again.
How do I save attachments?
• Your attachment is connected to your message. To save the attachment, you must save the
message. Refer to the Handheld User Guide for information on saving messages.

Battery
What should I do if my battery is depleting quickly?
There are several reasons why your battery might deplete quickly. To help extend battery life,
follow these suggestions:
• Limit your use of the backlighting feature.
• Enable the handheld Auto On/Off feature to conserve the handheld battery at night or on
weekends. Refer to "Setting the Auto On/Off feature" on page 246 for more information.
• If you send the same email message to more than one person, use multiple recipients in one
message instead of transmitting the same message more than once. Refer to "To send a
message to several contacts at one time" on page 46 for more information.
• Turn off the handheld radio when you do not need to send or receive messages, place phone
calls, or browse web pages, or when you are in an area without wireless coverage for an
extended period of time.
If you have integrated your handheld with an enterprise email account,
set filter rules in the desktop software Redirector Settings tool to specify
which email messages should be forwarded to your handheld. Refer to

Calendar
I am using wireless calendar synchronization and I deleted a meeting request from
my handheld. Now the appointment is not on my handheld or in my desktop
Calendar. Why are meeting requests being deleted from my handheld and desktop
calendars?
If you do not respond to a meeting request (either on your handheld or on your desktop) and you
delete the meeting request from the handheld's Messages screen, the appointment is deleted
and removed from both your handheld and desktop calendars. To avoid inadvertently missing a
meeting, always respond to meeting requests either on your desktop or from the handheld.

I accidentally dropped my handheld in water and now it does not work. What should I
do?
While a few drops of moisture should not damage your handheld, you should avoid placing it in
direct contact with liquids. If your handheld is exposed to liquid and stops operating, let it dry out
completely, allowing time for internal components to dry. If it does not begin to work again when
it is dry, contact your service provider or network operator.
How can I reset my handheld?
On rare occasions, the handheld might report an internal handheld error message, and instruct
you to press R to reset. You can also reset the handheld by pressing the Alt key and the Right
Shift key and the Backspace key.

What is a PIN?
A PIN is a personal identification number. Each handheld has a unique address that is similar to a
phone number. PINs are up to eight digits long and cannot be modified or altered.

Refer to "Message status field error messages" on page 278 for more information.
Why am I not notified when new messages arrive?
Verify that the volume setting for the Messages item of your current notification profile is set to
Low, Medium, High, or Escalating instead of Mute. If the volume is set to Mute, you do not
receive notification of new messages. If you are having difficulty hearing the notification,
increase the volume or the number of beeps. Refer to "Customizing notification profiles" on page
238 for more information on changing your notification profile settings.
Why are email messages arriving at my handheld in an “Unknown” folder?
You must synchronize your email messages using the Intellisync tool to transfer folders to your
handheld that you created on your desktop. Refer to the “Reconciling email” topic of the
Intellisync Online Help for more information. After you perform the email reconciliation, your
handheld recognizes the new folder and any email messages that are redirected from that
desktop folder on your desktop are transferred into the proper folder on your handheld.
If you have enabled wireless email reconciliation, your handheld recognizes when new folders
are created on your desktop. Refer to "Using wireless email reconciliation" on page 90 for more
information.
Why are new email messages on my handheld being marked as read?
If you briefly remove your handheld from the holster to stop notification, a new message might
be marked as read. If you remove your handheld from the holster when you are notified of a new
message, the new message is displayed on the screen. When you return your handheld to the
holster, the message closes. Even if you did not read the message, your handheld might mark the
message as read.

reconciliation" on page 90 for more information.
Note: To use wireless email reconciliation, your handheld must meet one of the following
conditions:
• If your handheld is integrated with an enterprise email account, your handheld must be
enabled for wireless email reconciliation on BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 3.6 or
later for Microsoft Exchange, or on BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 2.2 or later for
Lotus Domino.
• If your handheld is integrated with a new or existing ISP email account, your handheld
must be enabled on version 1.7 or later of the BlackBerry Web Client.
Contact your system administrator or service provider for more information on whether
you can use wireless email reconciliation.
I deleted an email message on my desktop and then reconciled my email messages.
Why are email messages not being deleted on my handheld?
You must configure the Message List Options screen so that messages that you deleted from
your desktop are deleted from your handheld each time that you reconcile email messages using
the Intellisync tool. Refer to "To delete email messages on your handheld and your desktop" on
page 111 for more information.
Messages that you delete from the desktop are moved into the Deleted Items folder. The
messages are deleted from your handheld when the next email reconciliation occurs.
If you are using Microsoft Outlook as your desktop email program, two scenarios
might prevent messages from being deleted from your handheld:
Microsoft
Exchange
• In Microsoft Outlook, on the Tools menu, click the Options icon and click the
Other tab. Verify that the Empty Deleted Items folder upon exit option is not
selected. If you empty your Deleted Items folder when you close Outlook, the
status of the message on your handheld cannot be updated and the message is
not deleted.
• If you delete messages from your desktop using a Shift key and the Backspace
key, the message is removed from your desktop and does not appear in your
message on your handheld cannot be updated and the message is not deleted.
Messages are not being sent from my handheld. What should I do?
Verify that your handheld radio is turned on and verify that the network settings are correct. Your
messages might not be transmitting for several reasons:
• If a clock icon appears beside the unsent message, you are not in a wireless coverage area. For
your messages to be sent you need to be in a location with sufficient wireless coverage. Check
the wireless coverage indicator that is located in the top right corner of the Home screen. Refer
to "Network status icons" on page 38 for more information on the wireless coverage indicator.
• If an X icon appears beside the unsent message, an error occurred during its transmission.
Open the message and scroll to the top of it. The Message Status field indicates what

I have integrated my desktop software with an enterprise email account, but my
email messages are not forwarded to my handheld. What should I do?
Email messages might not be forwarded to your handheld for several reasons:
Is your computer turned on? If you are a Microsoft Exchange user and you use
the BlackBerry Desktop Redirector and your computer is turned off, messages are
not forwarded to your handheld. Your computer must be turned on any time that
you want to receive messages on your handheld.
Microsoft
Exchange
Is the BlackBerry Desktop Redirector running? If you are a Microsoft Exchange
user and you are using the desktop redirector to forward your email messages
and it is not running, messages are not forwarded to your handheld. If your
company uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to forward your email messages,
you do not need to have the desktop redirector running. Look for the Desktop
Redirector icon in the right corner of your Windows taskbar. If it appears, the
desktop redirector is running. If it does not appear, on the Windows taskbar, click
Start and select Programs > BlackBerry > BlackBerry Desktop Redirector.
• Is your handheld inserted into the cradle and is it connected to your computer with the
desktop software running? If your handheld is inserted into the cradle with the desktop
software running, and you have selected the option to not forward messages when your
handheld connected to the computer, you do not receive messages on your handheld.
Remove your handheld from the cradle to determine whether messages are forwarding
properly.
Have you created Microsoft Exchange Inbox Assistant rules? If you are a
Microsoft Exchange user and you have set up Inbox Assistant rules that move new
messages from the Inbox to another folder, new messages are not forwarded to
your handheld unless email is specifically redirected from that folder. If you have
not specified email redirection from specific folders, the Inbox Assistant moves
the message before the message can be forwarded. Either delete the Inbox
Assistant rule or change the folder redirection settings to forward messages to
your handheld.
Microsoft
Exchange
• Have you set Redirector Settings filter rules? If you have enabled filters in the Redirector
Settings tool, you might have instructed the desktop software to send only certain messages
to your handheld. Check the filters to verify that the messages that you want to receive are
being forwarded.
• Have you set the order of the filters? If a new Redirector Settings filter applies to a subset of
the messages of an existing filter, the new filter should appear at the top of the list.
• Have you selected the “Forward messages to my handheld” check box? Check the settings
on the General tab and verify that the Forward messages to my handheld check box is
selected. Check the settings on the Advanced tab and verify that you have selected the proper
folders from which email should be redirected. If you are using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
to forward your email messages, messages might not be forwarded to your handheld if they
are read on your desktop before being processed by the server. If you are in an area of
insufficient wireless coverage and you read a message on your desktop, before it is processed

by the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the server might not recognize the message as unread.
Therefore, it is not forwarded to your handheld.
Advanced tab of the Redirector Settings tool and verify that you have selected the folders
from which you want to receive email messages. Refer to the Redirector Settings Online Help for
more information on selecting folders.
Why can I not forward messages from my handheld?
If an X icon appears beside the message that you sent, a transmission error occurred that
prevented it from being sent. You cannot forward messages that have not been transmitted
properly. Open the message and scroll to the top of it. The Message Status field indicates the
error. Refer to "Handheld error messages" on page 269 for more information. After the original
message is sent successfully, you can forward it to another email address.
Why did I have several email messages on my handheld before I turned on the radio?
These email messages are previously loaded onto your handheld and contain information to help
you learn about your handheld when you first receive it. As soon as you turn on your radio,
another message should arrive, indicating that the handheld is registered with the network.
Punctuation
How do I type a period (.) or other punctuation marks on the handheld?
• The quickest way to type a period (.) is to press the Space key twice at the end of a sentence.
The next letter is capitalized automatically.
• Press the Alt key and an associated character at the same time to insert common punctuation
marks. The punctuation mark is printed above the primary character on the key. Refer to "Using
the keyboard and trackwheel" on page 28 for more information on the Alt key and special key
combinations.
• Other punctuation marks are included in the symbols library which you can open by pressing
the Symbol key. Refer to "Inserting symbols" on page 51 for more information.
• You can also insert international and accented characters in your messages. When you are
composing a message or entering text, hold a letter and roll the trackwheel to scroll through
international characters, marks, and equation symbols. When the desired character appears,
release the letter key.
Security
What should I do if the Security Self Tests fail?
If you perform a Security Self Test and the tests fail, run the tests again. Refer to "To perform
Security Self Tests" on page 258 for more information.
If the tests fail a second time, reload your handheld applications. Refer to the Getting Started Guide
for information on loading handheld applications. If the tests continue to fail, contact your
service provider or network operator.

Storage
What should I do if I will not use my handheld for a short period of time?
If you expect that you will not use your handheld for a short period of time (two weeks or less)
turn off the handheld. On the Home screen, click the Turn Power Off icon. To turn on the
handheld again, press the Power button.
What should I do if I will not use my handheld for an extended period of time?
Before you store your handheld for an extended period of time, you should save the information
from your handheld to your desktop using the desktop software’s Backup and Restore tool.
If you expect that you will not use your handheld for many weeks or months, remove the battery
from the handheld. Your handheld shuts down and, after approximately 24 hours, enters a special
storage state. You should store your handheld in a cool, dry place. If you press any keys or click
the trackwheel while your handheld is in this state, it does not respond.
To reactivate your handheld, insert the battery into your handheld and recharge it. Your stored
addresses and messages are preserved while your handheld is turned off. When you turn on your
handheld, a dialog box appears on your screen that prompts you to confirm the current date and
time. Click Edit to open the Date/Time screen to set the date and time.
If you integrated your handheld with an enterprise email account and you put your handheld in
storage mode, you should generate a new encryption key when you activate your handheld
again.
