wireless radio, a registration message should arrive. If a registration
message does not arrive, check the wireless coverage indicator on
the Home
screen to verify that you are in an area of sufficient
wireless coverage. You can receive email messages if one or more
bars appear beside the wireless coverage indicator in the upper
right corner of the Home screen.
If you are in a wireless coverage area and you have not received a
registration message, register your handheld manually.
