Appendix G: BlackBerry Smart Card Reader reset process

When a user resets a BlackBerry Smart Card Reader, the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader performs the following

actions:

• backs up the Bluetooth pairing key for the currently connected BlackBerry device, if applicable

Note: After the user resets the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader, a BlackBerry device can perform the

Bluetooth pairing process and the secure paring process to connect to the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader

again. If that BlackBerry device was the last BlackBerry device to connect to the BlackBerry Smart Card

Reader before the user reset the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader, the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader restores

the backed up Bluetooth pairing key for that Bluetooth connection and opens the Bluetooth connection to

the BlackBerry device automatically.

• removes all Bluetooth pairing information

• removes all secure pairing information

• removes all user settings

• removes the connection password

• unbinds the IT policy from the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader

Note: The BlackBerry Smart Card Reader unbinds the IT policy by deleting the IT policy public key from its

NV store so that it can receive a new IT policy and digitally signed IT policy public key from a BlackBerry

Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Smart Card Reader does not delete its stored IT policy.
