Tips: Managing indicators
Indicators tell you that there is something new or updated, such as a new message, voice mail message, or feed, or they
inform you of the status of something, such as the battery or network connection. Indicators often appear on app icons,
new content within apps, and at the top of the Home screen.
For a complete list of indicators, visit www.blackberry.com/docs/smartphones. Click your smartphone model, and then

Tips: Updating your software
Updated BlackBerry Device Software and BlackBerry Desktop Software are released periodically, and you might be able to
update the software from either your computer or your smartphone. Research In Motion recommends that you regularly
create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software. Maintaining a current backup
file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an
unforeseen issue.
Check to see if there is updated BlackBerry Device
Software that you can download over the network.
