Tips and Tricks
To connect to the wireless network successfully, the
BlackBerry Curve must be powered on, your wireless
service must be active, and you must be in a
coverage area.
a) Check that your BlackBerry Curve is turned on.
b) Your BlackBerry Curve should automatically connect
to the wireless network in your area. If you see “Off”
in the top right hand corner of your screen, the
wireless functionality is turned off and you need to
turn it on.
To turn the wireless network on or off from the

Manage Connections icon and click the trackball to
select it. Select the Mobile Network check box.
When your BlackBerry Curve is not connected to the
wireless network you can continue to use features that
don’t require a connection such as typing and saving
draft email messages, managing tasks, or using the
calculator. You will see the error message Radio is Off if
you try to use any of the wireless features.
