Blackphone Bundled Applications
Blackphone Activation Wizard
What is Activation Wizard
Activation Wizard is one exclusive Blackphone application that is guiding the user step by step
through the set up process of the phone. The application will help to set up some security features
as device encryption and PIN/Password. In top of that, Activation Wizard will easily provision
Silent Phone, Silent Text and Disconnect applications.
How Activation Wizard Works
Activations Wizard will be launch automatically the first time the user switches BP1 on and right
after inserting the SIM card PIN code. The Activation Wizard includes 7 different steps to help the
user start using Blackphone
Setting up Activation Wizard
• Step 1: Select the language. If the user does not insert a SIM card, default language will be
English. If the user inserts a SIM card before switch the device on, this will auto automatically
will switch to the language corresponding the SIM.
• Step 2: PIN/Password set up. The user has to set up a PIN code (different that the SIM one) or a
Password to protect the device when the screen is turned off. This step is mandatory and cannot
be skipped.

• Step 3: Device Encryption. The user is encouraged to encrypt the device. For doing that the
device have to be plugged in and the battery should have at least an 80% battery charge, if not,
encryption cannot be performed. Although the device will remember the user to perform this
action every three days. The encryption process will take approximately 25 minutes. This
process WILL NOT encrypt the microSD card (Android limitation).

• Step 4: Data Connectivity. The user is invited to connect to a data network. He/she can select to
connect to one WiFi network (WPS feature is not available in this step) or to the cellular
network (If a SIM with a data subscription is in the phone).
Important note: please bear in mind that a data connection is needed to activate the
Blackphone application suite licenses in next step. A WiFi connection is preferred.
Important note: In the initial setup you will need an open, wep, or wpa-psk network
(preferably wpa-psk) for the initial setup. Youcan later configure any network.
Specifically, it cannot be wpa-enterprise (peap, ttls, etc.) or behind a captive portal,
because there is no way to provision certificates or run a browser during the first stages
of setup.

• Step 5: Scanning the QR code. If a data connection is available, the user will be invited to scan
the QR code included in Blackphone’s box. Scanning the QR will provision Silent Phone, Silent
Text and Disconnect licenses.
If this step is skipped or the data connection is not good enough to download automatically the
licenses, the user may activate the licenses manually. Please

in such a case.
