How Do I Turn on My Blackberry?
- 1). Turn your BlackBerry over and remove the back panel. Remove the BlackBerry battery, if present. Slide the SIM card holder to the unlock position and lift the latch. Insert the SIM card with the gold contacts facing down and the notched end aligned with the outline. Close the latch and slide the SIM card holder to the locked position.
- 2). Install the BlackBerry battery that came with your BlackBerry phone. Remove the BlackBerry battery from its plastic package. Position it so that the electrical contacts are facing the contacts in the base of the BlackBerry's battery compartment. Insert the battery, making sure the end fitted with the electrical contacts is inserted first. Replace the back cover.
- 3). Press the red "End Call" button to turn on your BlackBerry phone. Wait for the spinning hour glass on the screen to signal that the BlackBerry phone is done booting up. After the first time you boot up your BlackBerry phone, you will hold the red "End Call" button to turn the phone on and off.
