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.

If your device supports GPS and you make an emergency call, an emergency operator might be able to use GPS technology to find your approximate location.

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

Likewise, any changes that they make to email message in the email application on their computer should be reflected on the smartphone.

In rare cases, if a smartphone 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 the smartphone or if the subscriber turned off these features, the subscriber can use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize their 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 an unforeseen issue.

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.

Sign or encrypt a message

You can sign or encrypt email and PIN messages.

1. When you are composing a message, change the Encoding field.
2. If necessary, change the Classification 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.

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

In addition to changing the tone, you can also change options for volume, LED, vibration, and notification during calls.

Synchronizing calendar

About synchronization

The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) between a subscriber's BlackBerry® smartphone and the email application on their computer over the wireless network.

The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between the subscriber's smartphone and the email application on their computer over the wireless network. When a subscriber files or deletes email messages on their smartphone, these email message should be filed or deleted in their email application. Likewise, any changes that they make to email message in the email application on their computer should be reflected on the smartphone.

In rare cases, if a smartphone 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 the smartphone or if the subscriber turned off these features, the subscriber can use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize their 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 an unforeseen issue.

A synchronization conflict occurs when you change the same email or organizer data item on your BlackBerry ^® device and in the email application on your computer.

If you reconcile your email using wireless email reconciliation, on your device, you can set whether the email on your device or the email on your computer takes precedence when an email reconciliation conflict occurs.

Synchronizing contacts

About synchronization

The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) between a subscriber's BlackBerry® smartphone and the email application on their computer over the wireless network.

The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between the subscriber's smartphone and the email application on their computer over the wireless network. When a subscriber files or deletes email messages on their smartphone, these email message should be filed or deleted in their email application. Likewise, any changes that they make to email message in the email application on their computer should be reflected on the smartphone.

In rare cases, if a smartphone 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 the smartphone or if the subscriber turned off these features, the subscriber can use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize their 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 an unforeseen issue.

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.

Connect to a Wi-Fi network

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.
3. If you want to connect to a public hotspot or to a Wi-Fi® network that does not require authentication, select the Show Open networks only check box.

Bluetooth technology

Bluetooth technology basics

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth ^® technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry ^® device and a Bluetooth enabled device, such as a hands-free car kit or a wireless 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 pair the devices, you can 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.

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 Connections > Add New Device > Search.
3. Click a Bluetooth enabled device.

4. If necessary, do one of the following:

5. 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.

6. If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your choice on both devices.

Encryption

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 on your BlackBerry ^® device and on a media card that can be inserted in your device. You can encrypt the files on your device 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 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 smart card.

1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Security > Password.

If you have installed the BlackBerry® Desktop Software on your computer, you can back up and restore most of your BlackBerry device data, including messages, organizer data, fonts, saved searches, and browser bookmarks using the backup and restore tool of the BlackBerry Desktop Software. For more information, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you might be able to restore synchronized organizer data to your device over the wireless network. To restore synchronized organizer data over the wireless network, you must have an activation password. For more information, contact your administrator.

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.

Empty the deleted items folder on your computer from your device

To perform this task, your work email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature. For more information, contact your administrator.

1. On the Home screen, click the Messages icon.
2. Press the ☐ key > Options > Email Reconciliation.
3. If the Message Services field appears, set this field to the appropriate email account.
4. Press the key > Purge Deleted Items.

Troubleshooting: Synchronization

Email is not reconciling over the wireless network

Try the following actions:

• Verify that your BlackBerry® device is connected to the wireless network.
• Verify that wireless email reconciliation is turned on.

- Reconcile email manually. On the Home screen, click the Messages icon. Press the ☐key >Reconcile Now.

Organizer data is not synchronizing over the wireless network

Try the following actions:

• Verify that your BlackBerry® device is connected to the wireless network.
• Verify that wireless data synchronization is turned on in the Contacts application, Calendar application, Tasks application, and MemoPad.
• If you use the BlackBerry® Internet Service, you must use the synchronization tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize calendar data. For more information, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop 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.

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.

PCRE is a library of functions to support regular expressions whose syntax and semantics are as close as possible to those of the Perl 5 language.

This is JavaScriptCore's variant of the PCRE library. While this library started out as a copy of PCRE, many of the features of PCRE have been removed.
