252 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Firewall
If you have third-party applications on your handheld, the firewall option
prevents these applications from sending or receiving information from your
handheld without your knowledge. If a third-party application attempts to open a
connection, you are prompted to approve or deny the connection.
You can specify that you do not want to be prompted each time that a connection
request is made. In the dialog box that appears when a request is made, approve
or deny the request. In the Don’t ask this again section, select the check box. Any
other connections that the application attempts are allowed or denied, depending
on what you select in the dialog box.
If you want to be prompted again, each time a request is made, complete the
following steps:
1. On the Home screen, click the Options icon. The Options screen appears.
2. Click Firewall. The Firewall screen appears.
3. Click the trackwheel to view the menu, and then click Reset Settings.
The settings are reset and you are prompted each time a third-party application
attempts to send or receive data from your handheld.
Host Routing Table
This option contains no user-variable settings.
Localization
If you have more than one language enabled on your handheld, you can change
the locale for your handheld.
Locale: Select the language that you want to use on your handheld.
Note: The firewall feature does not apply to any of the applications that came with your
handheld. This feature only applies to third-party applications that you load onto your
handheld.
Research In Motion does not in any way endorse or guarantee the security of third-party
applications, and your usage of third-party applications is your sole responsibility.
