¹Use only the battery that Research In Motion specifies for use with your device. Refer to the Safety and Product Information booklet that accompanied your device for more information on using the battery safely.

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 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 device is not connected to the wireless network, you can still use features that do not 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 are on an airplane).
