Generate a security key for the handheld
1. The first time you connect successfully to your PC, a dialog box
will prompt you to generate an encryption key by moving your
mouse.
2. To remove the handheld from the cradle, brace the bottom of
the cradle with one hand and gently pull the top of the
handheld towards you.
Enabling email redirection
If your PC will be redirecting email from your desktop to the
handheld, you must run the Desktop Redirector on your PC. (The
Desktop Redirector software is installed at the same time the
Desktop Manager is installed.) To launch the Redirector, select it
from your Start>Programs menu.
In the Redirector Status window, you will notice that the Status
field indicates “Running” and the PIN field shows your handheld’s
personal identification number. Now that you have activated your
handheld and completed the installation, you are ready to begin
sending and receiving email.
If your company will be redirecting email to your handheld using
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software, you do not have to run
the Desktop Redirector. Please ensure that your IT administrator
has set up your handheld on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You
can still use the Redirector Status window to view your email
Note
You will be prompted to generate a key the first time you
install the Desktop Software. If you are re-installing or
updating the software, you will not be prompted to generate
a new key. We recommend that you generate a new
encryption key every month for security purposes. See the
Redirector Settings online help for more information on
generating keys.
