About multiple message lists
Depending on your email setup option, you might be able to associate your device with more than one email account. For exampBlackBerry®
you might be able to associate your device with a work email account and one or more personal email accounts. If you associate your devic
with more than one email account, multiple message lists might appear on your device. In a message list for a specific email account, you ca
open and manage email messages for that email account, and you can send messages using the email address for the email account. For more
information about associating your device with more than one email account, see the . BlackBerry Internet Service Online Help
Depending on your theme, a separate message list might appear for SMS text messages and MMS messages.
Use one message list or multiple message lists
By default, your BlackBerry® device theme determines whether SMS text messages appear in the same message list as email messages.

S/MIME-protected message basics
About signing and encrypting messages
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another level of security to email messages and PIN messages that you send from your
BlackBerry® device. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. When
you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and that the messag
has not been changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt th
message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message.
To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list. Your device uses the emai
address in your contact list to locate a PGP® key or certificate for the contact.
Sign or encrypt a message
You can sign or encrypt email messages and PIN messages.
1. When composing a message, change the field.Encoding
2. If necessary, change the field.Classification

About message classifications
If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature and yo

classifications that you can use.
If you receive a message that uses message classifications, you can view the abbreviation for the classification in the subject line of the messag
and the full description for the classification in the body of the message. You can also view the abbreviation and full description for the
classification for a sent message in the sent items folder.

The flash dims or turns off
If the battery power level drops below 20 percent, the flash dims to conserve battery power. In cold temperatures, when the battery power level
drops below 20 percent, the flash might turn off.
Some pictures that I take are blurry
In low lighting conditions, the camera might compensate for the lack of exposure by using a slower shutter speed. If you move the camera
before the shutter clicks, the picture might be blurry. If the camera is using a slower shutter speed, an exclamation point indicator appears at
the bottom of the screen.
To decrease blurriness in pictures that might be caused by slight movements of the camera, you can turn on image stabilization in the camera

About browser push
Browser push is designed to push information from a web application to your BlackBerry® device as the information becomes available. For
example, you can use browser push to receive updates for weather reports, stock quotes, or breaking news. When your device receives an update,
a new browser push message might appear in the messages application or an icon on the Home screen might change to indicate that new
information is available. The web application might also push updated information to your browser cache without notifying you. If information
is pushed to your browser cache, the information is available on your device even when your device is not connected to the wireless network.
Your device supports different types of browser push messages. Service loading messages and service indication messages include updated
information. Other browser push messages include messages that appear in your browser cache.

About custom ring tones
You can assign a custom ring tone to a contact without changing other notifications.
Custom ring tone options appear with your contacts and your notification profiles. When you assign a custom ring tone to a contact, a new
profile exception appears with your notification profiles as "Calls From <contact>". Notification profile exceptions are shared between your
contacts and your notification profiles and changes that you make in one application are made in the other application.
Your BlackBerry® device bases the volume for custom ring tones on the volume that you set in the active notification profile.

About custom notification
You can create notification profile exceptions to receive different notification for incoming messages and calls from specific contacts. For
example, you can create a notification profile exception that uses the Loud profile for incoming messages and calls from a specific contact,
regardless of your active notification profile.
Your BlackBerry® device applies notification profile exceptions in the order in which they appear in the notification profile exception list. If you
create multiple notification profile exceptions that include the same contact, place the notification profile exception that you want your device
to apply first in the list.
Your device has one preloaded notification profile exception for important calls. You can add contacts to this notification profile exception, or
you can delete it.

About custom ring tones
You can assign a custom ring tone to a contact without changing other notifications.
Custom ring tone options appear with your contacts and your notification profiles. When you assign a custom ring tone to a contact, a new
profile exception appears with your notification profiles as "Calls From <contact>". Notification profile exceptions are shared between your
contacts and your notification profiles and changes that you make in one application are made in the other application.
Your BlackBerry® device bases the volume for custom ring tones on the volume that you set in the active notification profile.

Notification profile troubleshooting
My device is vibrating more times than expected
For calls, the number of times that the BlackBerry® device vibrates is not determined by the number of vibrations that you set in your notificat
profile. The device vibrates until the caller or the wireless network ends the connection.
I am not receiving notification for incoming calls or messages
Try performing the following actions:
• In the notification profile list, verify that the Off notification profile is not selected.
• In a notification profile exception, verify that the field is not set to Custom Ring Tone Mute.
