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 your supported email
account. You can also choose to install the
BlackBerry® Desktop Software so that you can
connect your device to your computer for data
synchronization and charging.
Take a moment to read this guide as well as any
documents provided by your service provider.
These resources provide important setup
information and are designed to help you get the
most from your BlackBerry device! Additional
resources are listed in the back of this guide.

expose the SIM card to static electricity or wet
conditions.
1. Press the battery cover release button.
2. Slide off the battery cover.
3. If the battery is inserted, remove it.
4. Hold the SIM card with the metal contacts
facing down so that the notches on the card
align with the notches shown 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.

On the device, if the power is off, press the Power
button. Your device should connect to the wireless

messages, manage tasks, or use the calculator.
