7. Power on your BlackBerry (it may come on automatically). Then, you will
need to wait a little for the timer to go away (up to several minutes).

upper-right corner, you will need to turn on your wireless radio again. To
do this, tap the Menu key, and click the radio tower icon, which says
Manage Connections, and then click Restore Connections.

Updating the BlackBerry Operating System

BlackBerry is continually updating the operating system (OS) software for its devices.
Sometimes, if you are having problems, they might actually already have been
addressed by a newer version of the software. It is generally a good idea to check for
software updates on a regular basis for just this reason.

How Can I Tell What OS Version My BlackBerry Is Running?

To see which OS you have, you can click your
Options icon, and select About. An even faster
way is to bring up the Help Me! screen by
simultaneously pressing and holding ALT +
CAP + H.
TIP: You can also view things like free
memory and battery strength if you scroll
down to the bottom of the Help Me! screen.
The first two digits next to App Version are your OS version; the preceding image
shows this BlackBerry is running version 5.0.

How Can I Update My BlackBerry OS?

You can update your OS (also called firmware), using Desktop Manager or with a
wireless update from your BlackBerry.

Using Desktop Manager

If you use Desktop Manager for Windows (see page 65) or Mac (see page 125), you will
be notified of OS updates and be able to update using either software.
