Note to the BES administrator: Go to www.man-machine.com/coolmir.htm and download the

latest CoolMIR driver. Unzip the file and save it on your computer. Refer to the “Setup for
BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) 4.0 and 4.1” instruction on page 9-12 to create the required
software configuration and push the software to the specific BlackBerry handheld wirelessly.
