Welcome to BlackBerry!

User Guide

Welcome to BlackBerry!

This is one of the many resources available to help you use your BlackBerry® device. You can look for answers in the Help application on the

Home screen of your device, or by pressing the Menu key and clicking Help in most applications.

Feature availability

The following items affect the availability of features on your BlackBerry® device. The features discussed are meant as examples, and are not

inclusive of every feature that might or might not be available on your device.

Device model

Features such as an internal GPS receiver, Wi-Fi® connection capability, and the camera and video camera are dependant on your device

model. To find feature specifications for your device model, visit www.blackberry.com/go/devices.

Wireless service plan

A wireless service plan with phone or voice is required to use the phone application and to send and receive SMS text messages and MMS

messages.

A wireless service plan with data is required to use the browser service and instant messaging applications, and to send and receive email

messages and PIN messages.

For more information, contact your wireless service provider.

BlackBerry Internet Service and BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Once you have a data plan, you must set up your email address or third-party instant messaging account in order to send and receive

email messages, use third-party instant messaging applications, and use certain browser configurations.

If you are an individual user, when you set up your email address or instant messaging account, you are associating it with the BlackBerry®

Internet Service.

If you are a corporate user, your administrator sets up your email account by associating it with a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. Your

administrator might set options that determine the features and settings that are available on your device.

Wireless service provider

Features such as MMS messages, location-based services, and some phone features are dependant on your wireless service provider's

offerings. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.

Wireless network

The wireless network that your device is connected to might affect the availability of some features. Depending on your wireless service

provider and available roaming options, different wireless networks are available. Some wireless networks do not support features such

as call blocking, call forwarding, or cell broadcasting. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.

Emergency calls

About emergency calls

If you are outside of a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call 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 only make emergency calls by typing 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.

Make an emergency call

•

If your keyboard or BlackBerry® device is unlocked, from the Home screen, press the Send key. Type the emergency number. Press

the Send key.

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.

Conference calls

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.

About smart dialing

With the smart-dialing feature, you can set a default country code and area code for phone numbers so that you do not have to dial a country

code and area code each time that you make a call, unless the country code or area code are different from the default codes that you set.

Some country codes are not supported by the smart-dialing feature.

In the smart-dialing options, you can also specify the main phone number for an organization that you call frequently so that you can quickly

call a contact in that organization by dialing only the extension for the contact. If you add contacts from that organization to your contact list,

when you add their phone numbers, you can type only the extensions instead of typing out the main phone number for the organization.

S/MIME-protected messages

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 messages 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.

Sign or encrypt a message

You can sign or encrypt email messages and PIN messages.

1. When composing a message, change the Encoding field.

2. If necessary, change the Classification field.

Encrypt a message with a pass phrase

Your BlackBerry® device can encrypt email messages and PIN messages using a pass phrase shared between the sender and recipient.

About message classifications

If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature and your

administrator turns on message classifications, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies a minimum set of security actions to each message

that you compose, forward, or reply to, based on the classification that you assign to the message. Your administrator specifies the message

classifications that you can use.

If you receive a message that uses message classifications, you can view the abbreviation for the classification in the subject line of the message

and the full description for the classification in the body of the message. You can also view the abbreviation and full description for the

classification for a sent message in the sent items folder.
