							Calendar troubleshootingI cannot schedule appointments that span multiple days
If you use IBM® Lotus Notes®, you cannot schedule appointments that span multiple days.
I cannot set some fields when scheduling appointments
If you use  IBM® Lotus Notes® , you can only change the Subject, Location, Reminder, and Notes fields and the Mark as Private check box when
you change a recurring appointment or meeting.
Some characters in calendar entries do not appear correctly after synchronization
If you schedule appointments or meetings on your BlackBerry® device that contain special characters or accents, your computer might not
support these characters.
On your computer, verify that you are using the correct default code page and that the correct font support is installed on your computer. For
more information, see the documentation for the operating system on your computer.
I cannot enter a conference call with the Join Now option
The Join Now option might not appear in the meeting notification if the meeting organizer is not using a  BlackBerry® device that supports the
Join Now feature or if the meeting organizer did not enter the conference call information correctly. If the Join Now option appears and your
device is connected to a CDMA network, you might need to change your smart dialing options so that you can enter the conference call using
the Join Now option.
Try performing the following actions:
• If the Join Now option does not appear, to enter the conference call, in the meeting or meeting invitation, click the conference call bridge
number and access code provided in either the  Location field or the  Notes section.
• If the Join Now option appears and your device is connected to a CDMA network, try increasing the default time that your device waits before dialing an extension. From the Home screen, press the  Send key. Press the  Menu key. Click  Options. Click Smart Dialing . In the
To access extensions in all other corporations  section, change the Wait For field to the highest value. Try entering the conference call

About categories You can create categories to group your contacts, tasks, and memos. You can also narrow the contacts, tasks, and memos that appear based
on categories.
Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category can apply to a contact, task, or memo. If you use  IBM® Lotus Notes®, you can
apply more than one category to a task on your BlackBerry® device, but only one category synchronizes with the task in Lotus Notes.
Categories are shared between the contact list, the task list, and the memo list and changes that you make in one application are made in all
applications.

							Ring tones, sounds, and alerts
Ring tones, sounds, and alerts basics
About ring tones, sounds, and alerts Sound profiles define how your BlackBerry® device alerts you of phone calls, messages, reminders, and browser content.
Your device has a Normal sound profile and six other preloaded sound profiles: Loud, Medium, Vibrate Only, Silent, Phone Calls Only, and All
Alerts Off.
By default, some of the settings in the preloaded sound profiles are based on the settings in the Normal sound profile. For example, when you
change the ring tone in the Normal sound profile, the ring tone in the Loud, Medium, and Phone Calls Only sound profiles is automatically
updated. If you do not want specific settings for a preloaded sound profile to update automatically when you change the corresponding setting
in the Normal profile, you can manually change the settings in that preloaded sound profile.
You can create custom sound profiles. When you assign a custom ring tone to a contact, the ring tone is always active and does not change
when you switch sound profiles unless you switch to the All Alerts Off sound profile. Call and message notifications for your contacts might be
audible even if you switch your sound profile to Silent or Vibrate Only.
You can change, rename, and delete most preloaded sound profiles. You cannot delete the Vibrate Only sound profile and you cannot change,
rename or delete the All Alerts Off sound profiles. You can change the Normal sound profile, but you cannot rename or delete it because some
of the settings in the other preloaded sound profiles are based on the settings in the Normal sound profile.
Change your ring tone 1. On the Home screen, click the  Sounds icon.
2. Click  Set Ring Tones/Alerts .
3. Click the application or item that you want to change.
4. Perform one of the following actions: • To use a preloaded ring tone, in the  Ring Tone field, click a ring tone.
• To use a ring tone that you downloaded, in the  Ring Tone field, click  Browse. Navigate to a folder that contains ring tones. Click a
ring tone.
5. Press the  Menu key.
6. Click  Save.
Switch sound profiles In the sounds application, click a sound profile.
