Troubleshooting: Wi-Fi technology
I can't connect to a Wi-Fi network
Depending 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 the hotspot.
•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 your smartphone and the certificate has an expiration date).
•If the Wi-Fi network doesn't appear in the Wi-Fi Network application, it might be hidden. If you know the network name, 
try connecting to the 
Wi-Fi network manually.
•In the Wi-Fi Network 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 
root certificate 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.

smartphone. The certificate must be transferred to your smartphone before you can connect to the network. For more 
information, talk to your administrator.

Mobile Hotspot mode basics
About Mobile Hotspot mode
You can use the Wi-Fi technology on your BlackBerry smartphone in one of two ways: Wi-Fi mode or Mobile Hotspot mode.
When you turn on Wi-Fi mode, you can connect your smartphone to a Wi-Fi network to access an Internet connection. You 
can only connect to an external 
Wi-Fi network, such as your home network or office network, while in Wi-Fi mode.
When you turn on Mobile Hotspot mode, you can use your smartphone as a mobile hotspot so that other Wi-Fi enabled 
devices can use the mobile network connection on your smartphone. For example, if you are traveling, you can connect  your smartphone with your laptop and use your smartphone's Mobile Hotspot mode to access the Internet on your laptop.
If your smartphone is connected to a CDMA network, when you make or receive a call, your smartphone suspends your 
Mobile Hotspot session until you end the call. Your Mobile Hotspot session resumes when your call ends. While Mobile 
Hotspot mode is turned on, you might not be able to send messages from your smartphone. Messages you send while your 
smartphone is in Mobile Hotspot mode are sent after you turn off Mobile Hotspot mode.
Before you use your smartphone in Mobile Hotspot mode, read the latest safety and product information at 
www.blackberry.com/docs/smartphones.
Turn on or turn off Mobile Hotspot mode
Before you begin: To perform this task, you must turn on your BlackBerry smartphone's Mobile Network connection and

How to: Bluetooth technology
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry smartphone and a Bluetooth 
enabled 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 line of 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 some 
cases, 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
Before you begin: 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.
1.On the home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.

smartphone, type the pairing passkey that either appears on the Bluetooth enabled device or is provided in the 
documentation that came with the 
Bluetooth enabled device. The passkey is most often a numeric or 
alphanumeric code.
•If the Bluetooth enabled device has a keyboard (for example, a laptop), type a pairing passkey of your choice on 
both devices.
