Welcome to BlackBerry!
Whether you plan to use your BlackBerry® device
for business or personal productivity, you have
made an excellent choice! With powerful push-
messaging, voice, web, and organizer features,
BlackBerry is the all-in-one solution that is
designed to keep you connected to the people,
data, and resources that you need every day.
To begin using your BlackBerry device, you must
set up and turn on the device, connect to the
wireless network, and set up for email. You can
also choose to install the BlackBerry Desktop
Software so that you can connect your device to a
computer for data synchronization and charging.
Take a moment to read this guide and any
documents provided by your wireless service
provider. These resources provide important setup
information and are designed to help you get the
most from your BlackBerry device.

conditions.

on your device.
5. Slide the SIM card into the holder so that it
lies flat below the metal guide.
6. Continue to slide the SIM card into the
holder until it stops. One end of the SIM card
should be slightly hidden below the plastic
casing on your device.
Note:To remove the SIM card, press gently on the
top of the SIM card and slide it out of the holder.
