To connect to the wireless network successfully, the BlackBerry Curve must be powered on, your wireless service must be active, and you must be in a coverage area.

a) Check that your BlackBerry Curve is turned on.

b) Your BlackBerry Curve should automatically connect

to the wireless network in your area. If you see “Off” in the top right hand corner of your screen, the wireless functionality is turned off and you need to turn it on.

To turn the wireless network on or off from the Home screen, use the trackball to scroll to the

Manage Connections icon and click the trackball to

select it. Select the Mobile Network check box.

When your BlackBerry Curve is not connected to the wireless network you can continue to use features that don’t require a connection such as typing and saving draft email messages, managing tasks, or using the calculator. You will see the error message Radio is Off if you try to use any of the wireless features.
