Staying connected with the BlackBerry
Hub
The BlackBerry Hub gathers all of the messages and notifications that you receive from your different
accounts into one convenient location. In the BlackBerry Hub, you can receive and respond to email,
text messages, or BBM chats all in the same place, see and respond to notifications from your social
networking accounts, glance at your upcoming events, and more.
Email
You can add practically any existing email account to your device—both work and web-based
email.
Text messages (SMS/MMS)
If text messaging is a part of your wireless service plan, you can find and respond to your text
messages in the BlackBerry Hub.
Social networking
If you add a Facebook account to your device, you can receive and respond to notifications,
update your status, and send Facebook messages all from the BlackBerry Hub. If you add a
Twitter account, you can compose tweets, keep on top of your mentions, and send direct
messages. And if you add a LinkedIn account, you can accept invitations to connect with business
contacts, send messages to your connections, and update your LinkedIn status.
BBM and instant messaging
After you add instant messaging apps to your device, you can access your chats through the
BlackBerry Hub.
Calls and voice mail
The BlackBerry Hub also shows you the calls that you made and received, including any missed
calls and voice mail messages.
Upcoming events
Without leaving the BlackBerry Hub, you can peek at upcoming meetings, events, and—if you add
your Facebook account—friends' birthdays.
Notifications
The BlackBerry Hub also collects your notifications about new PIN messages, time zone changes,
software updates, third-party apps, and more. Your service provider might send you SIM Toolkit
notifications that appear in the BlackBerry Hub. Tapping on these notifications launches the SIM
Toolkit app.

Securing your email
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages if you use a work email account that supports S/MIMEprotected messages or IBM Notes email encryption on your BlackBerry device. Digitally signing or
encrypting messages adds another level of security to email messages that you send from your device.
Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that
you send. With S/MIME-protected messages, 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 message hasn't been
changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you
encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use
their private key to decrypt the message.
Your BlackBerry device supports keys and certificates in the following file formats and file name
extensions:
• PEM (.pem, .cer)
• DER (.der, .cer)
• PFX (.pfx, .p12)

Passwords and locking
There are several types of locks, PINs, and passwords that you can use to help to protect your
BlackBerry device.
If you use your device for work, your organization might already have security settings in place, such as
requiring a password to unlock your device.
BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry ID is an email address and password that gives you access to BlackBerry websites, apps,
and services. If you change your BlackBerry device, a BlackBerry ID helps you to transfer data to your
new device. Make sure that you use the same BlackBerry ID for all of your BlackBerry devices.
Log in with your BlackBerry ID to do the following and much more:
• Keep track of your app purchases and payment options from the BlackBerry World storefront.
• Make the most of BBM features, such as backing up and moving BBM contacts to a new BlackBerry
device.
• Start and stop BlackBerry Protect.
Password locking and screen locking
While your device is locked, you can still receive notifications of new email and text messages, make an
emergency phone call, view your battery charge level, set an alarm, or take a picture.
To conserve battery power and avoid accidental key presses, lock the screen. To help to avoid
unauthorized use of your device, you need to set a device password.
In your display and security settings, you can set your device to lock itself after a certain amount of
inactivity. You can also write a custom message that displays on the locked screen.
If you forget your password, it can't be recovered. BlackBerry recommends that you back up your data
regularly. By default, for security reasons your device data is deleted when an incorrect password is
entered ten times.
BlackBerry Balance and the work space
password
If you associate your device with your organization's network, your administrator might turn on
BlackBerry Balance technology. BlackBerry Balance is designed to separate and secure areas of your
device as work-only or personal-only.
Your administrator may require you to set a work space password to protect files, apps, and data
associated with your organization, such as your work email account. You can use the same password
for both your work space and device.
If you enter your work space password more than the allowed number of times, your work space and the
contents within it are deleted. You can reduce or increase the number of allowed work password
attempts in your Balance settings.

Network lock and unlock code
To use a SIM card from another service provider, for example, if you’re travelling and want to use a local
service provider’s network, you can request unlock codes (MEP codes) from your current service
provider, and change the Phone Network Lock settings for your SIM card.
If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter an unlock code, your SIM card will allow
emergency calls only. For assistance, you can contact your service provider.
SIM card PINs
You can set two different PINs for the SIM card in your device. You can use a SIM card PIN to help to
prevent unauthorized use of your SIM card in another device. For example, if you lost your SIM card and
someone tried to use it in another device, the SIM card can't be used unless the PIN is entered correctly.
If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter the SIM card PIN, your SIM card will stop
functioning. To unblock your SIM card, contact your wireless service provider for a PUK code.
A SIM card PIN2 is designed to enable certain phone features like fixed dialing.
To get a SIM card PIN, contact your service provider and turn on SIM card security in your security
settings.
Lock or unlock your device
Tip: A quick tap on the Power/Lock key will put your device to sleep. This should help you conserve

Setting security permissions for apps
BlackBerry 10 OS includes application permissions that are designed to let you control the information
and features that an application can access on your BlackBerry device. For example, you can control
whether an app can access your email, contacts, pictures or the location of your device. Keep in mind
that some applications require specific permissions to work. You can also help safeguard your device by
downloading apps only from trusted sources, such as the BlackBerry World storefront.
When you open an app for the first time, your device might display a list of the files and features that the
app wants to access. If something doesn't seem right to you, you can reject the app's request to access
an item. For example, you might download a game that requests access to your messages, which might
make sense if the game includes a feature to share your game score. However, if you aren't comfortable
with the game having the ability to compose and view your email messages, you can turn off access to
messages or delete the app. You can view or change permissions for most apps in your device settings.
For some apps, when you install the app, you are prompted to accept or decline all of the requested
permissions. If you decline, the prompt will appear again the first time you open the app. You can't
change the application permissions later unless you delete and reinstall the app.

Securing your email
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages if you use a work email account that supports S/MIMEprotected messages or IBM Notes email encryption on your BlackBerry device. Digitally signing or
encrypting messages adds another level of security to email messages that you send from your device.
Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that
you send. With S/MIME-protected messages, 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 message hasn't been
changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. With S/MIME-protected messages, when you
encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use
their private key to decrypt the message.
Your BlackBerry device supports keys and certificates in the following file formats and file name
extensions:
• PEM (.pem, .cer)
• DER (.der, .cer)
• PFX (.pfx, .p12)
Set up S/MIME-protected messaging
You need to store a private key and certificate on your BlackBerry device to send signed or encrypted
email messages using S/MIME-protected messaging. You can store a key and certificate by importing
the files from a work email message.

About BlackBerry Balance
BlackBerry Balance technology helps address corporate security concerns without limiting personal use
of your BlackBerry device. If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance, the device data, apps, and
network access are separated so that you have a work space and a personal space. The separate
spaces help you avoid activities such as accidentally copying work data into a personal app, or
displaying confidential work data during a BBM Video chat.
By default, your device uses the personal space. You can it use for activities such as taking pictures,
downloading videos, playing games online, saving files to a media card, and posting on a social
network.
In your work space, you can access your work email, contacts, and calendar, create work documents,
and browse to corporate intranet sites. Your work space can include a separate version of BlackBerry
World that contains the applications you are allowed to download and use at work. If your work space is
protected with a password, you must unlock your work space to reveal the details about your work data.
You can quickly switch between spaces from the home screen. You can access both personal data and
work data from certain places, such as Search.
Switch between your personal and
work spaces
When BlackBerry Balance technology is set up on your BlackBerry device, you can quickly switch
between your personal and work spaces.
Tip: To differentiate between your work space and personal space, you can set a different wallpaper for

How do I reset my device password if I forget it?
Your BlackBerry device password can't be recovered or changed if you don't enter your current
password correctly. For security reasons, the only way that you can reset your password without
knowing your current password is to delete all of your device data. You can do this by entering an
incorrect device password multiple times.
BlackBerry recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer.

How do I set up BlackBerry Balance?
BlackBerry Balance must be set up by your administrator and requires a work account associated with a
BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After BlackBerry Balance is set up, a work space is automatically added to
your BlackBerry device and you are prompted to finish the activation.
What content is in my work space and my
personal space?
If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance technology, the device data, apps, and network
access are separated so that you have a work space and a personal space.
Open work apps appear with a icon on the home screen.

Can I use personal apps on my work's network?

messages are only accessible in the work space. Any pictures taken using your device camera, whether
you opened the Camera app from your work or personal space, are stored in your personal space. All of
your media card files are also stored in your personal space.
For example, since BBM is a personal app, to create a profile picture, you can use a picture taken with
your camera, but you can't use a picture that you downloaded from an email message sent to your work
account.

If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance technology, your administrator can delete your work
data from your device and leave your personal data and applications intact. Some of your personal data
might be deleted from your device if it overlaps with your work data (for example, a personal contact
who works in your organization).

BlackBerry ID
About BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry ID gives you convenient access to multiple BlackBerry products and services. After you
create a BlackBerry ID, you can use your email address and password to log in to any BlackBerry
product that supports BlackBerry ID. With BlackBerry ID, you can manage apps that you downloaded
from the BlackBerry World storefront and download the apps when you switch devices. You should sign
in with the same BlackBerry ID on all of your BlackBerry devices.
If you previously created a BlackBerry ID, you must use it when you set up your new device instead of
creating a new BlackBerry ID. You can log in to both a tablet and smartphone using the same
BlackBerry ID.
Set up a new BlackBerry ID
Tip: It's important to choose a password that you can remember. For your BlackBerry ID username, be
sure to use an email address that you use frequently. Recovery details can be sent to the email address
that you use as your BlackBerry ID username if you forget your BlackBerry ID password. The email
address that you use as a BlackBerry ID username doesn't have to be associated with your BlackBerry
device.

Using your BlackBerry ID on a new device
When you switch to a new BlackBerry device, during setup, you will be prompted to enter your

For instance, when you use your existing BlackBerry ID on your new device, you can reinstall apps that
you downloaded on your previous device from the BlackBerry World storefront, if a version of that app
exists for your new device.
Find your BlackBerry ID on your old device
If you have previously created a BlackBerry ID and are switching to a new BlackBerry device, it's
