View BlackBerry smartphone documentation to find the Safety and Product Information booklet for your smartphone.

Connecting to the Wireless Network

Once you’ve inserted and charged the battery, you’re ready to connect to the wireless network:

1. If the power is off on your BlackBerry® smartphone, press the Power button.
2. On the Home screen or in the application list, click Manage Connections and select the check box beside Mobile Network.

To connect to the wireless network, your wireless service must be active and you must be in a wireless network coverage area.

If your smartphone isn’t connected to the wireless network, you can still use features that don’t require a connection to a wireless network. For example, you can type and save draft email messages, manage tasks or use the calculator when you’re on an airplane.
