When you end an emergency call, the BlackBerry®
device enters Emergency Callback Mode. This mode
enables the operator to call you back or determine
your approximate location. Depending on your service
provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for five
minutes or is canceled when you make a nonemergency call.
If you set the privacy level for location-based services
on your device to By Permission or Restricted, and you
make an emergency call from your device, an
emergency operator should still be able to estimate
your approximate location (subject to A-GPS
limitations).
About Emergency Callback Mode
In Emergency Callback Mode, you cannot send and
receive messages or browse web pages.
Your device exits Emergency Callback Mode at any
time if you make a non-emergency call.

About custom phone tunes
You can add a custom phone tune for a contact
without changing other notifications.
Custom phone tune settings appear in both the
address book and the profiles list. When you add a
custom phone tune to a contact, a new profile
exception appears in the profiles list as “Calls From
.” Profile exceptions are shared between the
address book and the profiles list and changes made
in one program are made in the other program.
Category names are not case sensitive. More than one
category can apply to a contact, task, or memo. If you
use IBM® Lotus Notes® as your desktop email
program, you can apply more than one category to a
task on your BlackBerry® device, but only one
category synchronizes with the task in your desktop
email program.
Categories are shared between the address book, the
task list, and the memos list and changes that are
made in one program are made in all programs.

About profiles
Notification profiles are designed to alert you of
appointment and task reminders, and incoming
messages, calls, and browser content. You can create a
profile that specifies which sounds to use, whether to
notify you when the BlackBerry® device is in or out of
the holster, and what volume level to use. You can use
different sounds for each type of item.
The device has six preset notification profiles: Loud,
Vibrate, Quiet, Normal, Phone Only, and Off. You can
edit these default profiles, except for the Off profile.
You cannot delete them.

About custom notification
If you set the Use Profile field to Active Profile and you
do not change the Custom Phone Tune field, the
profile exception has no effect.
You can create exceptions to notification profiles to
receive different notification for incoming messages
and phone calls from specific contacts. For example,
you can create a profile exception that uses the Loud
profile when you receive messages and phone calls
from specific contacts, regardless of the active profile.
Profile exceptions are applied based on the order in
which they appear. If you create multiple profile
exceptions that include the same contact, you must
decide which one to apply first by placing that profile
exception higher in the list.
The BlackBerry® device has a preset profile exception
for important calls. You can add contacts to this profile
exception, or you can delete it.

Profiles — frequently asked questions
What is the escalating volume level?
Why isn’t the ring tone being played the number of
times that I have set?
Why isn’t the ring tone being played
the number of times that I have set?
For phone calls, the number of times that the
BlackBerry® device sounds or vibrates is not
determined by the number of beeps that you set in
your notification profile. The device sounds or vibrates
until the caller or the network ends the connection.
Why am I not receiving notification
for incoming calls or received
messages?
In the profiles list, verify that the Off profile is not
enabled. If this profile is enabled, all notification is
turned off, including profile exceptions and LED
notification.
If you set the Custom Phone Tune field to MUTE, you
do not receive notification for calls from the contacts
that the exception applies to.
Why am I not receiving notification for incoming calls
or received messages?
How do I set custom notification for
messages from a specific contact?
How do I set custom notification for messages from a
specific contact?
In the profiles list, create a new notification profile
that sets the tune that you want to use for your
messages. Create a profile exception for the contact
and set the Use Profile field to the new notification
profile.
Why can I not edit all the fields for a Calls From profile
exception?
Can I set one phone tune for all my profiles?
Can I be notified of other items during a call?
What is the escalating volume level?
If you use the escalating volume level, the notification
volume level consistently increases until the
BlackBerry® device reaches the loudest volume level.
Why can I not edit all the fields for a
Calls From profile exception?
Calls From profile exceptions appear in the profiles list
when you add a custom phone tune from the address
book. Because these exceptions are for phone calls
only, you can only edit the Custom Phone Tune field.

How do I handle conflicts between
my device and my desktop email
program?
Why do some characters in my
desktop calendar not appear
correctly after synchronization?
A conflict might occur if you edit the same item on
your BlackBerry® device and in your desktop email
program before synchronization occurs.
If you create calendar entries on your BlackBerry®
device that contain special accents or characters, and
your desktop computer does not support those
accents or characters, the characters do not appear in
your desktop calendar correctly. On your desktop
computer, verify that you have the correct default code
page set and that you have proper font support
installed on your computer. See your Microsoft®
Windows® Online Help for more information about
setting the default code page for your computer.
If you turn on wireless email reconciliation, set
whether the device or desktop email program takes
precedence when a conflict occurs. In the messages
options, click Email Reconciliation. Set the On
Conflicts field. You can set this option for each email
account that is integrated with your device.
If you turn on wireless PIM synchronization, the
information in your desktop email program should
automatically take precedence over the data on your
device when a conflict occurs. If you turn off wireless
PIM synchronization and make changes to a PIM entry
in your desktop email program and on the device, the
conflicting information on the device is replaced by
the information in your desktop email program when
you turn on wireless PIM synchronization again. If you
want to select manually how conflicts are handled,
synchronize your device using the BlackBerry Desktop
Software before you turn on wireless PIM
synchronization.
If you use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to turn on
wireless calendar synchronization, you can adjust the
calendar conflict resolution settings in the BlackBerry
Desktop Software. See the BlackBerry Desktop
Software Online Help for more information.
