User Guide BlackBerry Bridge
You first pair your tablet and smartphone using Bluetooth technology. Then, when you select the tethering option on the
tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet can use a data-enabled smartphone with a Bluetooth DUN profile as a modem to
access the Internet.

Do data charges apply?

Data charges might apply if you aren't on a Wi-Fi network while BlackBerry Bridge is connected.
If a Wi-Fi connection is not available while BlackBerry Bridge is connected, applications on your BlackBerry PlayBook
tablet can use your BlackBerry smartphone's mobile connection to access the Internet.
To avoid incurring data or roaming charges, make sure that you're connected to a Wi-Fi network on your tablet or
smartphone before using applications on your tablet that use the Internet, such as the Browser.

About synchronising Wi-Fi and VPN profiles

When you connect your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to your BlackBerry smartphone using BlackBerry Bridge, your saved
Wi-Fi profiles and VPN profiles on your smartphone are automatically added to your tablet to make connecting to the
networks you use easier. Then, when you use your tablet in a Wi-Fi coverage area where you've previously used your
smartphone, your tablet connects to the access point.
For security reasons, Wi-Fi profiles and VPN profiles that are associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server are not
synchronised. Passwords for secure networks are also not synchronised.
If a profile requires a client authentication certificate, you must import the certificate manually.
Tip: You can edit your network profiles to reorder how quickly your tablet attempts to connect to a network or to add other
information, such as passwords for secure networks.
