1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE to a directory on your hard drive. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the ROM Update files to a directory. (NOTE: This directory should not contain any file or folder from any previous ROM Upgrade.) 3. Establish an Activesync connection between the handheld and host PC using the USB connection. 4. RUU.exe will start automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the ROM upgrade. NOTE: Once the update is complete, the .EXE file downloaded in Step 1 can be deleted, if desired. INSTALLATION NOTES: 1. During the update, the ROM Update Utility will: - Query the handheld for current ROM image information. - Validate that the new ROM image is compatible with the handheld. - Automatically place the iPAQ handheld in Flash mode. - Update the ROM image on the handheld. 2. IMPORTANT: Disable the Standby and Hibernation modes on the host PC. If Standby or Hibernation mode is activated during the upgrade process, a critical error may occur. 3. IMPORTANT: Plan enough time to complete the update. The total time to perform this ROM update is estimated at 20 minutes with a USB connection. 4. IMPORTANT: Do not interact with the handheld or remove it from AC power or the cradle/cable once the status bar appears on the handheld and the actual update has started. 5. If an error message is displayed during the process, follow any available instructions to correct the condition and start the ROM Update Utility again. 6. The update process can be performed while connected to a host PC either as a Guest or with an established partnership. Copyright (c) 2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. |
