Emergency calls  
About emergency calls and Emergency Callback Mode  
If you are outside of a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears at the top of the screen, you can call only  
emergency numbers. Your BlackBerry® device is designed to allow emergency calls even when your device is locked. Depending on your device  
model and the wireless network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to allow emergency calls when the SIM card is  
not inserted. If the connection to the wireless network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to  
the wireless network automatically. You can make emergency calls by typing only official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).  
Note: You should not rely on any wireless device for essential communications, including medical emergencies. Emergency numbers may vary  
by location and emergency calls may be blocked or impeded by network, environmental, or interference issues.  
If your device is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your device enters Emergency Callback Mode. This mode  
allows the operator to call you back or find your approximate location. Depending on your wireless service provider, Emergency Callback Mode  
is active for 5 minutes or until you make a non-emergency call. In Emergency Callback Mode, you cannot send and receive messages or browse  
web pages.

Synchronizing email  
About synchronization  
The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) between  
your BlackBerry® device and the email application on your computer over the wireless network.  
The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between your device and the email application on your computer over  
the wireless network. When you file or delete email on your device, these email should be filed or deleted in your email application. Likewise,  
any changes that you make to email in the email application on your computer should be reflected on your device.  
In rare cases, if your device does not recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or email cannot be synchronized  
or reconciled.  
If wireless data synchronization or wireless email reconciliation is not available on your device or you have turned off these features, you can  
use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data and email. For more information, see the  
Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.  
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software.  
Maintaining an up-to-date backup file on your computer might allow you to recover device data if your device is lost, stolen, or corrupted by

About vCard contact attachments  
vCard® contact attachments (.vcf files) contain information for a specific contact. When you add a vCard contact attachment to an email  
message, recipients of your email message can view your contact information or add it to the contact list on their BlackBerry® device. When  
you open an email message that contains a vCard contact attachment, a book icon appears at the end of the message with the name of the  
attached contact.

S/MIME-protected message basics  
About signing and encrypting messages  
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another  
level of security to email and PIN messages that you send from your BlackBerry device. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify  
the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. When you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public  
key to verify that the message is from you and that the message has not been changed.  
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the  
message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message.  
To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list. Your device uses the email  
address in your contact list to locate a PGP® key or certificate for the contact.

About IBM Lotus Notes native encrypted messages  
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can read messages on your BlackBerry device that  
are sent using IBM® Lotus Notes® native encryption. You might also be able to send, forward, or reply to messages using IBM Lotus Notes  
native encryption.  
Before you can send or receive IBM Lotus Notes native encrypted messages, you must import your IBM Lotus Notes ID file using Lotus® iNotes®  
(previously known as IBM® Lotus® Domino® Web Access) or using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software. For more information about importing  
your IBM Lotus Notes ID file using the BlackBerry Desktop Software, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software. When you send or receive  
IBM Lotus Notes native encrypted messages, you might be prompted to type your IBM Lotus Notes ID password.

About compression  
Compression is designed to reduce the size of your BlackBerry® device data while maintaining the integrity of that data. When compression  
is turned on, your device compresses all device data, including messages, contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos. You should keep  
compression turned on.  
If both compression and encryption are turned on, your device compresses device data before encrypting it.  
About file encryption  
File encryption is designed to protect files that you store in the BlackBerry® device memory and on a media card that can be inserted in your  
device. You can encrypt the files in the device memory and on your media card using an encryption key that your device generates, your device  
password, or both.  
If you encrypt the files using an encryption key that your device generates, you can only access the files on your media card when the media  
card is inserted in your device. If you encrypt the files using your device password, you can access the files on your media card in any device  
that you insert your media card into, as long as you know the password for the device.

User Guide  
Ring tones, sounds, and alerts  
About ring tones, sounds, and alerts  
The profile that you select in the Sound and Alert Profiles application defines how your BlackBerry® device alerts you of phone calls, messages,  
reminders, and browser content.  
Your device has a Normal profile and five other preloaded profiles: Loud, Medium, Vibrate Only, Silent, and Phone Calls Only. You can change  
the tones in any preloaded profile to an audio file that is stored in your device memory or on a media card, or you can create additional profiles.  
The All Alerts Off profile cannot be changed.  
By default, some of the settings in the preloaded profiles are based on the settings in the Normal profile. For example, when you change the  
ring tone in the Normal profile, the ring tone in the Loud profile, Medium profile, and Phone Calls Only profile is automatically updated. If you  
do not want specific settings for a preloaded profile to update automatically when you change the corresponding setting in the Normal profile,  
you can manually change the settings in that preloaded profile.  
You can create contact alerts, which alert you when particular contacts call you or send you a message. Contact alerts are always turned on,  
and do not turn off unless you select the All Alerts Off profile. For example, even if you select the Silent profile or Vibrate Only profile, audible  
contact alerts remain audible until you select the All Alerts Off profile.  
Change your ring tone, notifiers, or reminders

Add a contact alert  
You can create contact alerts that allow you to customize ring tones and alerts for calls and messages from specific contacts or groups of

profile.

Conference call meetings  
About conference calls  
You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry® device. If your organization or a conferencing service has provided you with  
a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on your device or computer. Conference call meetings  
allow participants who have a BlackBerry device to enter the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is  
supported on their device, so that they do not have to dial the conference call bridge number and access codes. If you do not have a conference  
call bridge number, you can create a conference call by calling other contacts and joining the calls together.

Synchronizing calendar  
About synchronization  
The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) between  
your BlackBerry® device and the email application on your computer over the wireless network.  
The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between your device and the email application on your computer over  
the wireless network. When you file or delete email on your device, these email should be filed or deleted in your email application. Likewise,  
any changes that you make to email in the email application on your computer should be reflected on your device.  
In rare cases, if your device does not recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or email cannot be synchronized  
or reconciled.  
If wireless data synchronization or wireless email reconciliation is not available on your device or you have turned off these features, you can  
use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data and email. For more information, see the

organizer data on your device when a data synchronization conflict occurs.  
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software.  
Maintaining an up-to-date backup file on your computer might allow you to recover device data if your device is lost, stolen, or corrupted by  
an unforeseen issue.  
Manage data synchronization conflicts  
You can change how conflicts that occur during organizer data synchronization are resolved by turning off wireless data synchronization,  
changing conflict resolution options, and synchronizing organizer data using the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software.  
For more information about managing conflicts that occur during organizer data synchronization, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop  
Software.

Troubleshooting: Contacts  
Contact list field data is not appearing on my computer  
You can only synchronize the data in a custom contact list field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For example, you  
cannot add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your BlackBerry® device and synchronize it with the email application on your  
computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email application on your computer.  
My contact pictures keep changing  
The contact pictures in applications (for example, in the contacts application), might change if you set more than one application on your  
BlackBerry® device to replace contact pictures. Depending on how often or how many of your contact pictures are being replaced by other  
applications, you might experience increased data charges.  
To stop contact pictures from changing, you must change the options in each application that is replacing your contact pictures.

Synchronizing tasks and memos  
About synchronization  
The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) between  
your BlackBerry® device and the email application on your computer over the wireless network.  
The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between your device and the email application on your computer over  
the wireless network. When you file or delete email on your device, these email should be filed or deleted in your email application. Likewise,  
any changes that you make to email in the email application on your computer should be reflected on your device.  
In rare cases, if your device does not recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or email cannot be synchronized  
or reconciled.  
If wireless data synchronization or wireless email reconciliation is not available on your device or you have turned off these features, you can  
use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data and email. For more information, see the  
Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

About GPS technology  
Depending on your wireless service provider, this feature might not be supported.  
You can use GPS technology on your BlackBerry® device to get your GPS location and to use location-based applications and location-based  
services. Location-based applications can use your GPS location to provide you with information such as driving directions.  
If your device does not have an internal GPS receiver or your wireless service provider does not support location-based services and you want  
to use GPS technology, you can pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver. For more information, contact your wireless  
service provider.  
If your device is connected to a CDMA network and you make an emergency call or your device is in Emergency Callback Mode, an emergency  
operator might be able to use GPS technology to estimate your location.  
Note: In an emergency, always provide the emergency operator with as much information as possible. Emergency operators might not be able  
to estimate your location using only GPS technology.

Your BlackBerry® device supports multitasking, which allows you to run more than one application at a time. During a call, for example, you  
might want to switch to the calendar application to view your appointments or switch to the contacts application to look up a contact. While  
you are playing a song, you might want to switch to the messages application to reply to a message.  
There are also shortcuts for most applications that can help you to perform common tasks quickly.  
Note: The more applications that you have running, the more memory and battery power your device uses. To optimize the performance of  
your device, try to close applications when you are finished with them.

If your device requires a SIM card, your wireless service provider might need to set up your SIM card with roaming services before you can roam.  
If your device normally connects to a CDMA network and your device supports international roaming, you might need to get a SIM card that  
is set up for international roaming from your wireless service provider. Your phone number stays the same when you travel internationally.

Wi-Fi technology  
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model, the Wi-Fi® feature might not be supported.  
About connecting to a Wi-Fi network  
With Wi-Fi® technology, your BlackBerry® device can access the Internet by connecting to a wireless router or wireless access point at your  
home, work, or in a hotspot area. Your device uses the Wi-Fi network instead of the mobile network to visit web pages, send and receive email  
messages, and so on. When you connect to the Internet with a Wi-Fi network, you might avoid data charges that are associated with using your  
mobile network, and, in many cases, the connection speed is faster.  
Hotspots are available in many public places, such as libraries, airports, hotels, coffee shops, and so on. Some hotspots are free to use, while  
others require payment. Your wireless service provider might provide an application for your device that allows you to log in to a hotspot. If you  
do not have an application on your device, you might have to set up your own account online and log in manually.  
If you have an access point or router that supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™, you can connect to it using Wi-Fi Protected Setup.  
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your device saves the connection information so that the next time that you are within range of that  
network, your device connects to it automatically.

1. On the Home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.

If your wireless router or wireless access point includes Wi-Fi Protected Setup™, you can quickly connect to a Wi-Fi® network without entering  
a long password.  
1. On the Home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.  
2. Click Set Up Wi-Fi > Other Ways to Connect.

I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network  
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model, the Wi-Fi® feature might not be supported.  
Try the following actions:  
Verify that you have turned on the connection to the Wi-Fi network.  
Verify that you are in a Wi-Fi coverage area.  
If the Wi-Fi network does not appear in the Set Up Wi-Fi application, it might be hidden. If you know the network name, try connecting  
to the Wi-Fi network manually.  
In the Set Up Wi-Fi application, verify that the options for the Wi-Fi network are correct.  
If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, switch to another Wi-Fi network or set your BlackBerry device to scan for available Wi-Fi  
networks.  
If your wireless service provider supports UMA, verify that your connection preference is not set to Mobile Network Only.  
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your device might prevent you from connecting to certain wireless access  
points. For more information, contact your administrator.  
If you are using the Push Button Setup method, verify that the access point is enabled with Wi-Fi Protected Setup™, and that it has  
been set to send its profile. Verify that another device is not also attempting to connect at the same time, and that not more than one  
access point within range is in this mode.  
If you use PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-SIM to connect to a Wi-Fi network, verify that you have installed the root  
certificate for the certificate authority server that created the certificate for the authentication server.  
If you use EAP-TLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, verify that you have added your authentication certificate to your device.

Bluetooth technology basics  
About Bluetooth technology  
Bluetooth® technology is designed to enable you to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry® device and a Bluetooth enabled  
device, such as a handsfree car kit or wireless stereo headset.  
Before you can connect your BlackBerry device to a Bluetooth enabled device, you must first turn on Bluetooth technology on both devices and  
then pair the devices. Pairing establishes a relationship between the devices and usually needs to be done only once.  
After you have paired the devices, you can then connect the devices when the Bluetooth enabled device is within range of your BlackBerry  
device (a typical range is approximately 10 meters). For best results, keep your BlackBerry device within direct line of sight of the Bluetooth  
enabled device. For example, if your BlackBerry device is on the right side of your body, wear a Bluetooth enabled headset in your right ear.  
When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry device to another Bluetooth enabled device, Bluetooth status  
indicators appear at the top of the Home screen. For more information about Bluetooth indicators, see the printed documentation that came  
with your BlackBerry device.  
Turn on Bluetooth technology  
1. On the Home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.  
2. Select the Bluetooth check box.  
To turn off Bluetooth® technology, clear the Bluetooth check box.  
Pair with a Bluetooth enabled device  
You must pair your BlackBerry® device with a Bluetooth® enabled device before you can connect to it. For more information about preparing  
the Bluetooth enabled device for pairing, see the documentation that came with the Bluetooth enabled device.  
1. On the Home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.  
2. Click Bluetooth Options > Add New Device > Search.  
3. Click a Bluetooth enabled device.  
4. If necessary, do one of the following:  
If the Bluetooth enabled device does not have a keyboard (for example, a wireless headset), on your BlackBerry device, type the pairing  
passkey that either appears on the Bluetooth enabled device or is provided in the documentation that came with the Bluetooth enabled  
device. The passkey is most often a numeric or alphanumeric code.  
If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your choice on both devices.

About compression  
Compression is designed to reduce the size of your BlackBerry® device data while maintaining the integrity of that data. When compression  
is turned on, your device compresses all device data, including messages, contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos. You should keep  
compression turned on.  
If both compression and encryption are turned on, your device compresses device data before encrypting it.  
About file encryption  
File encryption is designed to protect files that you store in the BlackBerry® device memory and on a media card that can be inserted in your  
device. You can encrypt the files in the device memory and on your media card using an encryption key that your device generates, your device  
password, or both.  
If you encrypt the files using an encryption key that your device generates, you can only access the files on your media card when the media  
card is inserted in your device. If you encrypt the files using your device password, you can access the files on your media card in any device  
that you insert your media card into, as long as you know the password for the device.

About encrypting data on your device  
When encryption for data on your BlackBerry® device is turned on, your device uses a private key to encrypt data as it is stored on your device,  
including data that your device receives when it is locked. Your device decrypts data as you access it.  
You can set encryption to include or exclude your contacts. If you turn on encryption for contacts and you receive a call when your device is  
locked, the caller name does not appear on the screen.  
If you use a smart card certificate for authentication, depending on the smart card, you might also be able to use one of your smart card  
certificates to provide two-factor encryption. In order to access the encrypted content, you must provide your device password and also connect  
your device to your smart card reader.  
When you lock your device, an open lock indicator appears at the top of the screen to indicate that your device is in the process of securing  
your data, which includes deleting a copy of the private key from the temporary device memory. A lock indicator appears at the top of the  
screen when your device has deleted the key.  
About file encryption  
File encryption is designed to protect files that you store in the BlackBerry® device memory and on a media card that can be inserted in your  
device. You can encrypt the files in the device memory and on your media card using an encryption key that your device generates, your device  
password, or both.  
If you encrypt the files using an encryption key that your device generates, you can only access the files on your media card when the media  
card is inserted in your device. If you encrypt the files using your device password, you can access the files on your media card in any device  
that you insert your media card into, as long as you know the password for the device.  
Turn on encryption  
To encrypt data on yourBlackBerry® device, you must have set a password for your device.

About using a smart card with your device  
Smart cards store certificates and private keys. You can use a smart card reader to import certificates from a smart card to the key store on  
your BlackBerry® device, but you cannot import private keys. As a result, private key operations such as signing and decryption use the smart  
card, and public key operations such as verification and encryption use the public certificates on your device.  
If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate with your device, after you connect your smart card reader to your device, your device requests  
authentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your device.  
You can install multiple smart card drivers on your device, including drivers for microSD smart cards, but you can only authenticate to one smart  
card at a time. If you are authenticating using a microSD smart card and you want to transfer media files between your microSD smart card  
and your computer in mass storage mode, you must temporarily turn off two-factor authentication or select a different authentication option.  
If the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry® devices is installed on your device, you can use smart card certificates to send S/MIME-  
protected messages.  
Turn on two-factor authentication  
To perform this task, you must have set a password for your BlackBerry® device and have the smart card password that you received with your

About synchronization  
The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) between  
your BlackBerry® device and the email application on your computer over the wireless network.  
The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between your device and the email application on your computer over  
the wireless network. When you file or delete email on your device, these email should be filed or deleted in your email application. Likewise,  
any changes that you make to email in the email application on your computer should be reflected on your device.  
In rare cases, if your device does not recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or email cannot be synchronized  
or reconciled.  
If wireless data synchronization or wireless email reconciliation is not available on your device or you have turned off these features, you can  
use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data and email. For more information, see the  
Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.  
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software.

Contact list field data is not appearing on my computer  
You can only synchronize the data in a custom contact list field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For example, you  
cannot add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your BlackBerry® device and synchronize it with the email application on your  
computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email application on your computer.  
Some characters in calendar entries do not appear correctly after synchronization  
If you schedule appointments or meetings on your BlackBerry® device that contain special characters or accents, your computer might not  
support these characters.  
On your computer, verify that you are using the correct default code page and that the correct font support is installed on your computer. For

The object of the Word Mole® game is to form words using the letters in the garden. If you form a word using letters that are directly above,  
below, or beside each other in the garden, you receive new letters which you can use to form new words. Otherwise, holes appear in the garden,  
making it harder to form new words. You can replace a hole with a new letter by forming a word that uses a letter that is beside the hole.  
In a single-player game, you complete a level by submitting enough words to reach the required point goal before the time expires. In a practice  
game, you have unlimited time to play a game. In a multiplayer game, you compete against other players to win awards for achievements such  
as submitting the longest word, or receiving the least number of holes.
