Conference call meetings
About conference calls
You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry smartphone. 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 smartphone or computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry smartphone to enter
the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their smartphone, so that they
don't have to dial the conference call bridge number and access codes. If you don't have a conference call bridge number,
you can create a conference call by calling other contacts and joining the calls together.

Troubleshooting: Contacts
Contact list field data isn't 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 can't add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your BlackBerry smartphone 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.

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 smartphone 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.

About synchronization and reconciliation
The wireless data synchronization and wireless email reconciliation features are designed to synchronize organizer data
(contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) and reconcile email between your BlackBerry smartphone and the email
application on your computer over the wireless network.
In rare cases, if your smartphone doesn't recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or
email can't be synchronized or reconciled.
If wireless data synchronization isn't available on your smartphone or if you turned off this feature, you can use the
BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data. 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 a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if
your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.

About multitasking
Your BlackBerry smartphone 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 storage space and battery power your smartphone uses. To
optimize the performance of your smartphone, try to close applications when you are finished with them.

BlackBerry ID
How to: BlackBerry ID
About BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry ID gives you convenient access to multiple BlackBerry products and services. After you create a BlackBerry
ID, you can use your BlackBerry ID email address and password to log in to any BlackBerry product that supports
BlackBerry ID. With BlackBerry ID, you can manage apps that you downloaded from the BlackBerry App World storefront
and keep apps you downloaded when you switch smartphones.
You are prompted to log in using your BlackBerry ID when you set up a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or a BlackBerry
smartphone running BlackBerry 7. If you previously created a BlackBerry ID, you must use it when you set up your new
tablet or smartphone (instead of creating a new BlackBerry ID). You can log in to both a tablet and a smartphone using the
same BlackBerry ID.
If you're using an older BlackBerry smartphone, you might be able to create a BlackBerry ID from within an app that
supports BlackBerry ID, or you can create a BlackBerry ID by visiting www.blackberry.com/blackberryid.

• Verify that you turned on the connection to the Wi-Fi network.
• Verify that you're in a Wi-Fi coverage area. If you're connecting to a home network, see if other wireless devices are able
to connect. If you're connecting to an enterprise Wi-Fi network or a hotspot, talk to your administrator or an employee
at the hotspot.
• Verify that the time on your smartphone is synchronized with the network time. If the times are different, it could
prevent your smartphone from connecting (for example, if connecting to the network requires you to have a certificate
on your smartphone and the certificate has an expiration date).
• If the Wi-Fi network doesn't appear in the Wi-Fi Network application, it might be hidden. If you know the network name,
try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.
• In the Wi-Fi Network application, verify that the options for the Wi-Fi network are correct. To find out what options to
use, for a home network, refer to the information that came with your router; for an enterprise Wi-Fi network, talk to
your administrator; for a public hotspot, refer to any information provided for the hotspot or talk to an employee at the
hotspot who might have details about how to connect.
• If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, switch to another Wi-Fi network or set your smartphone to scan for available
Wi-Fi networks.
• If your email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, your smartphone might prevent you from connecting to
certain wireless access points. For more information, contact your administrator.
• If you're using the Push Button Setup method, verify that the access point is enabled with Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and
that it has been set to send its profile. Verify that another device isn't also attempting to connect at the same time, and
that not more than one access point within range is in this mode. For more information, see the information that came
with your router.
• If you use PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-SIM to connect to a Wi-Fi network, verify that you installed the
root certificate for the certificate authority server that created the certificate for the authentication server. The
certificate must be transferred to your smartphone before you can connect to the network. For more information, talk to
your administrator.
• If you use EAP-TLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, verify that you added your authentication certificate to your
smartphone. The certificate must be transferred to your smartphone before you can connect to the network. For more

How to: Mobile Hotspot mode
Mobile Hotspot mode basics
About Mobile Hotspot mode
You can use the Wi-Fi technology on your BlackBerry smartphone in one of two ways: Wi-Fi mode or Mobile Hotspot mode.
When you turn on Wi-Fi mode, you can connect your smartphone to a Wi-Fi network to access an Internet connection. You
can only connect to an external Wi-Fi network, such as your home network or office network, while in Wi-Fi mode.
When you turn on Mobile Hotspot mode, you can use your smartphone as a mobile hotspot so that other Wi-Fi enabled
devices can use the mobile network connection on your smartphone. For example, if you are traveling, you can connect
your smartphone with your laptop and use your smartphone's Mobile Hotspot mode to access the Internet on your laptop.
If your smartphone is connected to a CDMA network, when you make or receive a call, your smartphone suspends your
Mobile Hotspot session until you end the call. Your Mobile Hotspot session resumes when your call ends. While Mobile
Hotspot mode is turned on, you might not be able to send messages from your smartphone. Messages you send while your
smartphone is in Mobile Hotspot mode are sent after you turn off Mobile Hotspot mode.
Before you use your smartphone in Mobile Hotspot mode, read the latest safety and product information at
www.blackberry.com/docs/smartphones.
Turn on or turn off Mobile Hotspot mode
Before you begin: To perform this task, you must turn on your BlackBerry smartphone's Mobile Network connection and
Wi-Fi connection.

How to: Bluetooth technology
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry smartphone and a Bluetooth
enabled device, such as a hands-free car kit or a wireless headset.
Before you can connect your BlackBerry smartphone 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 smartphone (a typical range is approximately 10 meters). For best results, keep your BlackBerry smartphone
within direct line of sight of the Bluetooth enabled device. For example, if your BlackBerry smartphone 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 smartphone to another Bluetooth enabled
device, Bluetooth status indicators appear at the top of the home screen.
Turn on or turn off Bluetooth technology
If you try to perform an action using Bluetooth technology, you may be prompted to turn on Bluetooth technology.
On the home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.
• To turn on Bluetooth technology, select the Bluetooth checkbox.
• To turn off Bluetooth technology, clear the Bluetooth checkbox.
Pair with a Bluetooth enabled device
Before you begin: You must pair your BlackBerry smartphone 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.

About the smartphone password
There are several types of password protection that you can use on your BlackBerry smartphone.
Smartphone password
You can create a smartphone password to help protect your smartphone from unauthorized access and use, and you can
set your smartphone to lock after a certain period of inactivity. You must enter your smartphone password to unlock your
smartphone. If you forget your password, it can't be recovered. For security reasons, if you exceed the number of allowed
password attempts, your smartphone deletes all your smartphone data and prompts you to set a new password.
BlackBerry ID
After you create a BlackBerry ID, you can use a single email address and password to log in to any BlackBerry product or
service that supports BlackBerry ID. If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to log in using BlackBerry ID, wait for
the security lockout to end before you try to log in again. To reset your BlackBerry ID password, visit www.blackberry.com/
blackberryid.
Password Keeper
You can use the Password Kepper ( ) to store password information, such as your passwords for online banking. The
Password Keeper is designed to encrypt your password information, and decrypt it when you enter the Password Keeper
password. Rember that you might also need your smartphone password before you access the Password Keeper. If you
exceed the number of allowed attempts to open the Password Keeper, the Password Keeper data can't be accessed unless
you restore your smartphone data. After you restore your smartphone data, when you attempt to open Password Keeper

Encryption
About encrypting data and files on your smartphone
When encryption for data on your BlackBerry smartphone is turned on, your smartphone uses a private key to encrypt data
stored on your smartphone, including data that your smartphone receives when it's locked. When you lock your
smartphone with a password, a lock indicator appears at the top of the screen when your smartphone has secured your
data. You can also encrypt the files on your media card using your smartphone password, an encryption key that your
smartphone generates, or both. Your smartphone decrypts data as you access it.
If you encrypt the files on your media card using an encryption key that your smartphone generates, you can only access
the files when the media card is inserted into your smartphone. If you encrypt the files using your smartphone password,
you can access the files in any smartphone that you insert your media card into, as long as you know the smartphone
password that was used to protect the files.
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 smartphone password and also connect your smartphone to your smart card reader.
Turn on encryption
Before you begin: To encrypt data on your BlackBerry smartphone, you must set a password for your smartphone.
Depending on the amount of storage space available, you might not be able to encrypt files on your smartphone or on your
media card.
You can set encryption to include or exclude your contacts. If you turn on encryption for contacts and you receive a call
when your smartphone is locked, the encrypted contact information doesn't appear on the screen.
1. On the home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Security > Encryption.
3. To encrypt data and files on your smartphone, in the Device Memory section, select the Encrypt checkbox.
4. To encrypt files that are stored on a media card, in the Media Card section, select the Encrypt checkbox and do one
of the following:
• To encrypt files using an encryption key that your smartphone generates, change the Mode field to Device Key.
• To encrypt files using your smartphone password, change the Mode field to Device Password.
• To encrypt files using an encryption key and your smartphone password, change the Mode field to Device
Password & Device Key.
5. Press the key > Save.
To stop encrypting data and files on your smartphone, in the Device Memory section, clear the Encrypt checkbox. To stop
encrypting files on your media card, in the Media Card section, clear the Encrypt checkbox.

Certificates and PGP keys
About certificates and certificate enrollment
A certificate is a digital document that binds the identity and public key of a certificate subject. Your BlackBerry
smartphone supports RSA, DSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC keys.
If your work email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can download certificates
over the wireless network using a certification authority profile provided by your administrator. Depending on your
organization, enrollment for a certificate might be required and might also occur automatically.
When you enroll with a certification authority profile, a new certificate is downloaded to your smartphone and added to your
certificate list. The certification authority profile shows the status of the certificate. If the certificate is scheduled to expire
soon, you can re-enroll with the certification authority profile to receive an updated certificate.
About PGP keys
If your work email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can download PGP keys over
the wireless network from a certificate server provided by your administrator. Depending on your organization, enrollment
with the PGP Universal Server might be required and might also occur automatically.
PGP keys allow you to send and receive PGP messages using your BlackBerry smartphone. Your smartphone supports
RSA, DSA, and Diffie-Hellman keys.
About the trust status of certificates and PGP keys
When you view the details for a certificate or key, you can view the trust status of the item. Depending on your
adminstrator, you can change the trust status of a certificate or PGP key.
A certificate can be explicitly trusted (the certificate itself is trusted), implicitly trusted (the root certificate in the certificate
chain is trusted on your BlackBerry smartphone), or not trusted (the certificate isn't explicitly trusted and the root
certificate in the certificate chain isn't trusted or doesn't exist on your smartphone).
A PGP key can be explicitly trusted (the PGP key itself is trusted), implicitly trusted (the PGP key is associated with a private
key on your smartphone), or not trusted (the PGP key isn't explicitly trusted and isn't associated with a trusted PGP key on
your smartphone, and a chain of digital signatures to a trusted key doesn't exist).

Smart cards
About using a smart card with your smartphone
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 smartphone, but you can't 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 smartphone.
If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate with your smartphone, after you connect your smart card reader to your
smartphone, your smartphone requests authentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your smartphone.
You can install multiple smart card drivers on your smartphone, 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

About smart password entry
If you use advanced authentication and your BlackBerry smartphone 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
smartphone is designed to remember the format of a password that you type in a password field. When you type the
password again, your smartphone 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 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 smartphone.
