User Guide
A mobile network connection allows your BlackBerry device to make calls and, if you have a data
plan, use data services such as Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an
airplane, you need to turn off your mobile network connection, but usually you can just leave your
mobile network connection on.
Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi network connection is another way to get data services on your device, but unlike using the
mobile network, using Wi-Fi doesn't add charges to your data plan. Your device is designed to try
to use saved Wi-Fi networks before it tries to use the mobile network for basic data functions such
as using the Internet or downloading apps. You can leave Wi-Fi on so that as soon as you're in
range of a saved Wi-Fi network, your device connects to it automatically, but remember that if you
leave Wi-Fi on all the time your battery can drain faster.
Connections between devices
USB
You can use a USB cable to create a two-way connection between your BlackBerry device and
your computer. When you connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, your device
appears on your computer as a removable storage device. Depending on the functionality of your
computer, you can usually use a USB connection to drag files between your computer and your
device.
Wi-Fi Direct connection
When you connect your BlackBerry device to other devices using a Wi-Fi Direct connection, you
can perform actions such as sharing a document without needing an Internet connection. Because
a Wi-Fi Direct connection creates a network, you can connect to multiple devices at the same time.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast connection
Miracast allows you to wirelessly show what's on the screen of your BlackBerry device on another
device such as a TV or computer monitor. To display your screen on a device that isn't a Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED Miracast device, you'll need to connect using a wireless display adaptor or use an
HDMI cable to connect your BlackBerry device to the other device.
Bluetooth technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to create a direct connection between your BlackBerry
device and another Bluetooth enabled device. Although you can transfer files over a Bluetooth
connection, because of its ability to stream content, Bluetooth connections are more commonly
used for actions such as playing the music on your BlackBerry device through a separate speaker
or making calls on a headset that is using your BlackBerry device's mobile network connection.
NFC
NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's used for quickly creating connections between
your BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC you don't need to
enter pairing information to make a connection, so it's useful for on-the-go actions such as
transferring contact cards with people you meet, or grabbing information from a poster that
