About using Wi-Fi with VPN and software tokens
If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® smartphone and if your organization uses a VPN to control access to its network, you
might be able to log in to the VPN and access your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled
smartphone, you might also need a software token to connect to your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network.

Troubleshooting: Wi-Fi technology
I can't connect to a Wi-Fi networkDepending on your BlackBerry® smartphone model, the Wi-Fi® feature might not be supported.
Try the following actions:
• 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 thehotspot.
• 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 yoursmartphone and the certificate has an expiration date).
• If the Wi-Fi network doesn't appear in the Set Up Wi-Fi application, it might be hidden. If you know the network name, try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.
• In the Set Up Wi-Fi 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 rootcertificate 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
information, talk to your administrator.

							Bluetooth technology
How to: Bluetooth technology About Bluetooth Bluetooth® technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry® smartphone and a Bluetoothenabled 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 lineof 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. In somecases, such as when using NFC technology, your BlackBerry® smartphone will turn on Bluetooth technology automatically.
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 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.
