Blackberry Activations Made Easy
Posted: Tuesday, December 20th, 2011You’ve just received a new Blackberry and need your work email, calendar, contacts, and memo pad set up on the device. Blackberry configuration can be done from anywhere and completely wireless. By following these easy steps you can be up and running with your Blackberry very quickly and with little effort.
Step 1: Call or email your HouseCall Systems Administrator and let them know you need an Enterprise Activation Password. Generating an activation password only takes a few minutes so you should have one very quickly. Also, we can prepare one for you ahead of time if you give us advanced notice of when the Blackberry will be arriving.
Step 2: Select the Setup icon under the All Tray.
Step 3: Select Email Accounts (If the End User screen appears select I Accept and continue with the setup)
Step 4: Select Enterprise Accounts
Step 5: You will then be brought to this screen. Enter your full email address (Ex. Jane.Doe@mail.house.gov) and password given to you by your HouseCall SA. Click Activate
Step 6: Once Activate is selected the activation process will begin and the device will notify you that your email account is activated on the Blackberry.
Step 7: Once email is setup all other services will begin downloading and will take some time to synchronize.
From this point you simply have to wait for the Blackberry to finish synchronization. The Blackberry will pull your information and soon populate you Blackberry with contacts, calendar events, and task from your Outlook. If you are a new Blackberry user this process should be relatively quick because you have little to no information to populate. Users with large contact list and calendar’s will experience longer activation times. As always, if you run into any issues just let your HouseCall SA know and they can help you get all squared away.
