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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  
Change the default message classification  
To perform this task, your email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature and your administrator must turn

PGP protected messages  
PGP 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.

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.

need to have an internal GPS receiver or be paired with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver to share your location.  
The first time you visit a web site that uses Gears, you are prompted to set the permissions for that web site. You can turn off the prompt so  
that your permissions for the web site are saved. You can change or delete the permissions for Gears-enabled web sites.

About browser push  
Browser push is designed to push information from a web application to your BlackBerry® device as the information becomes available. For  
example, you can receive updates for weather reports, stock quotes, or breaking news. When your device receives an update, a new browser  
push message might appear in the messages application or an icon on the Home screen might change to indicate that new information is  
available. The web application might also push updated information to your browser cache without notifying you. If information is pushed to  
your browser cache, the information is available on your device even when your device is not connected to the wireless network. Web applications  
that use browser push automatically push updates to your device, unless you turn off browser push.  
Your device supports different types of browser push messages. Service loading messages and service indication messages include updated  
information. Other browser push messages include messages that appear in your browser cache.

need to have an internal GPS receiver or be paired with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver to share your location.  
The first time you visit a web site that uses Gears, you are prompted to set the permissions for that web site. You can turn off the prompt so  
that your permissions for the web site are saved. You can change or delete the permissions for Gears-enabled web sites.

About browser push  
Browser push is designed to push information from a web application to your BlackBerry® device as the information becomes available. For  
example, you can receive updates for weather reports, stock quotes, or breaking news. When your device receives an update, a new browser  
push message might appear in the messages application or an icon on the Home screen might change to indicate that new information is  
available. The web application might also push updated information to your browser cache without notifying you. If information is pushed to  
your browser cache, the information is available on your device even when your device is not connected to the wireless network. Web applications  
that use browser push automatically push updates to your device, unless you turn off browser push.  
Your device supports different types of browser push messages. Service loading messages and service indication messages include updated  
information. Other browser push messages include messages that appear in your browser cache.

Customizing contacts  
About custom ring tones  
You can assign a custom ring tone to a contact without changing other notifications.  
Custom ring tone options appear with your contacts and your notification profiles. When you assign a custom ring tone to a contact, a new  
profile exception appears with your notification profiles as "Calls From <contact>". Notification profile exceptions are shared between your  
contacts and your notification profiles and changes that you make in one application are made in the other application.  
Your BlackBerry® device bases the volume for custom ring tones on the volume that you set in the active notification profile.  
Assign ring tones and alerts to a contact  
You can receive different ring tones and alerts for incoming messages and calls from specific contacts or groups of contacts. When you receive  
a call or message from the contact, your device uses the assigned ring tone or alert, even if you switch your sound profile to Silent or Vibrate  
Only. If you do not want to be notified with the assigned ring tone or alert, you can set your sound profile to All Alerts Off.

Troubleshooting: Contacts  
Custom 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.  
Caller ID pictures are not appearing on my device  
If your BlackBerry® device is associated with a Microsoft® Outlook® 2000 email account and you add a picture for a contact in the email  
application on your computer, verify that the file name for the picture is ContactPicture.jpg.  
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.

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.  
Create a conference call meeting from your device  
To perform this task, you must be the meeting organizer. If you are not the meeting organizer, you can create a conference call meeting on  
behalf of another person from your computer.

Troubleshooting: Calendar  
I cannot schedule appointments that span multiple days  
If you use IBM® Lotus Notes®, you cannot schedule appointments that span multiple days.  
I cannot set some fields when scheduling appointments  
If you use IBM® Lotus Notes®, you can only change the Subject, Location, Reminder, and Notes fields and the Mark as Private check box when  
you change a recurring appointment or meeting.  
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  
more information, see the documentation for the operating system on your computer.  
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.  
I cannot enter a conference call with the Join Now option  
The Join Now option might not appear in the meeting notification if the meeting organizer is not using a BlackBerry® device that supports the  
Join Now feature or if the meeting organizer did not enter the conference call information correctly. If the Join Now option appears and your  
device is connected to a CDMA network, you might need to change your smart dialing options so that you can enter the conference call using  
the Join Now option.  
Try performing the following actions:  
If the Join Now option does not appear, to enter the conference call, in the meeting or meeting invitation, click the conference call bridge  
number and access code provided in either the Location field or the Notes section.  
If the Join Now option appears and your device is connected to a CDMA network, try increasing the default time that your device waits  
before dialing an extension. From the Home screen, press the Send key. Press the Menu key. Click Options. Click Smart Dialing. In the  
To access extensions in all other corporations section, change the Wait For field to the highest value. Try entering the conference call  
with the Join Now option again.

Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category can apply to a contact, task, or memo. If you use IBM® Lotus Notes®, you can  
apply more than one category to a task on your BlackBerry® device, but only one category synchronizes with the task in Lotus Notes.  
Categories are shared between the contact list, the task list, and the memo list and changes that you make in one application are made in all  
applications.

Ring tones, sounds, and alerts  
Ring tones, sounds, and alerts basics  
About ring tones, sounds, and alerts  
Sound profiles define how your BlackBerry® device alerts you of phone calls, messages, reminders, and browser content.  
Your device has a Normal sound profile and six other preloaded sound profiles: Loud, Medium, Vibrate Only, Silent, Phone Calls Only, and All  
Alerts Off.  
By default, some of the settings in the preloaded sound profiles are based on the settings in the Normal sound profile. For example, when you  
change the ring tone in the Normal sound profile, the ring tone in the Loud, Medium, and Phone Calls Only sound profiles is automatically  
updated. If you do not want specific settings for a preloaded sound profile to update automatically when you change the corresponding setting  
in the Normal profile, you can manually change the settings in that preloaded sound profile.  
You can create custom sound profiles. When you assign a custom ring tone to a contact, the ring tone is always active and does not change  
when you switch sound profiles unless you switch to the All Alerts Off sound profile. Call and message notifications for your contacts might be  
audible even if you switch your sound profile to Silent or Vibrate Only.  
You can change, rename, and delete most preloaded sound profiles. You cannot delete the Vibrate Only sound profile and you cannot change,  
rename or delete the All Alerts Off sound profiles. You can change the Normal sound profile, but you cannot rename or delete it because some  
of the settings in the other preloaded sound profiles are based on the settings in the Normal sound profile.  
Change your ring tone  
1. On the Home screen, click the Sounds icon.  
2. Click Set Ring Tones/Alerts.

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 messages between your device and the email application on your  
computer over the wireless network. When you file or delete email messages on your device, these email messages should be filed or deleted  
in your email application. Likewise, any changes that you make to email messages 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 messages 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 Manager to synchronize your organizer data and email messages. For more information,  
see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.  
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

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 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 Manage Connections icon.  
2. Click Set Up Bluetooth.  
3. Click Search.  
4. Click a Bluetooth enabled device.  
5. If necessary, perform one of the following actions:  
If the Bluetooth enabled device does not have a keyboard (for example, a headset), on your BlackBerry device, type the pairing passkey  
that is provided in the documentation that came with the Bluetooth enabled device. The passkey is most often a numeric or alpha-  
numeric code.  
If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your own choosing on both devices.

About multitasking  
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.

About wireless coverage indicators  
Indicators in the top right-hand corner of the Home screen display the wireless coverage level for the area in which you are using your  
BlackBerry® device. For more information about wireless coverage areas, contact your wireless service provider.  
The indicator that displays five ascending bars provides information about the strength of the wireless signal. Three or more bars indicates a  
strong signal. A reduced signal display might indicate increased power output from your device as it attempts to connect to a weak signal.  
If the wireless coverage indicators display anything other than 1XEV, 1X, 3G , EDGE, GPRS, NXTL, MIKE, or NTWK, you might be in an area  
of reduced wireless coverage where features such as email messaging and internet browsing are not available (you might only be able to make  
a phone call or send and receive SMS text messages). If the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call emergency numbers.  
If the X indicator appears, you are in an area of no wireless coverage.  
If your device includes WLAN support, a dimmed WLAN logo with a network name displayed at the top of the screen indicates that your device  
is connected to a WLAN network but does not have access to BlackBerry services such as email messaging and internet browsing over the  
WLAN connection.

web pages, and send and receive email messages, PIN messages, and text messages with a Wi-Fi® network. Your BlackBerry® device  
automatically switches between using your mobile network and Wi-Fi networks, depending on what is available in the area where you are using  
your device. For more information about UMA, contact your wireless service provider.  
Change your preferred network type  
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.  
2. Click Network.  
3. Change the Connection Preference field.  
4. Press the Menu key.  
5. Click Save.  
Wi-Fi technology troubleshooting  
I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network  
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model, the Wi-Fi® feature might not be supported.  
Try performing 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 Wi-Fi setup application and you know the network name, connect to the Wi-Fi network  
manually.  
Verify that the connection options in the Wi-Fi setup application are correct. If you have already verified these options, verify that the  
advanced connection 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 device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, your organization might prevent the  
Hotspot browser from appearing or might restrict you from using the Hotspot browser to browse web pages.  
If you are using the Push Button Setup method, verify that the network 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 network 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.

Encryption  
About encrypting data in the device memory  
When encryption for the device memory is turned on, your BlackBerry® 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.

Smart cards  
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

About smart password entry  
If you use advanced authentication and your BlackBerry® device password or smart card password is numeric, you might be able to use smart  
password entry in some password fields. When smart password entry is turned on, your device is designed to remember the format of a password  
that you type in a password field. When you type the password again, your device applies a smart password filter to the password field. If the  
password is numeric, a 123 indicator appears beside the password field and you do not have to press the Alt key to type numbers. If the password  
is alphanumeric, an ABC indicator appears beside the password field.  
To use smart password entry, advanced authentication must be turned on and the correct smart card driver and smart card reader must be  
installed on your device.  
Turn off smart password entry  
To perform this task, you must be using a smart card and a password to unlock your BlackBerry® device.  
You can turn off smart password entry to reduce the chance that someone might guess your device password or smart card password based

About two-factor authentication  
Two-factor authentication is designed to provide additional security for your BlackBerry® device. Two-factor authentication requires an item  
that you have (for example, a smart card) and an item that you know (for example, a pass phrase). You can also use the connection to your  
smart card reader to authenticate, without requiring a smart card to be present.  
Youcanuseasmartcardfortwo-factorauthenticationwhenyouunlockyourdevice, oryoucanuseasoftwaretokenfortwo-factorauthentication  
when you use your device with RSA® software as a hardware token. If you have a WLAN enabled BlackBerry device, you can also use a software  
token for two-factor authentication when you log in to a VPN or connect to a WLAN network.  
Depending on your BlackBerry device model and the two-factor authentication settings that you choose, you might need to type your pass  
phrase when you perform one of the following actions:

Encryption  
About encrypting data in the device memory  
When encryption for the device memory is turned on, your BlackBerry® 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 in the device memory, you must have set a password for your BlackBerry® device.

User Guide  
Smart cards  
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.  
About two-factor authentication  
Two-factor authentication is designed to provide additional security for your BlackBerry® device. Two-factor authentication requires an item  
that you have (for example, a smart card) and an item that you know (for example, a pass phrase). You can also use the connection to your  
smart card reader to authenticate, without requiring a smart card to be present.  
Youcanuseasmartcardfortwo-factorauthenticationwhenyouunlockyourdevice, oryoucanuseasoftwaretokenfortwo-factorauthentication  
when you use your device with RSA® software as a hardware token. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry device, you can also use a software  
token for two-factor authentication when you log in to a VPN or connect to a Wi-Fi network.  
Depending on your BlackBerry device model and the two-factor authentication settings that you choose, you might need to type your pass  
phrase when you perform one of the following actions:  
unlock your BlackBerry device  
change a general security option on your BlackBerry device  
change a smart card option  
use your BlackBerry device with RSA software  
log in to a VPN  
connect to a Wi-Fi network  
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  
smart card.

About smart password entry  
If you use advanced authentication and your BlackBerry® device password or smart card password is numeric, you might be able to use smart  
password entry in some password fields. When smart password entry is turned on, your device is designed to remember the format of a password  
that you type in a password field. When you type the password again, your device applies a smart password filter to the password field. If the  
password is numeric, a 123 indicator appears beside the password field and you do not have to press the Alt key to type numbers. If the password  
is alphanumeric, an ABC indicator appears beside the password field.  
To use smart password entry, advanced authentication must be turned on and the correct smart card driver and smart card reader must be  
installed on your device.

About the Word Mole game  
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.
