HOW TO USE: |
IMPORTANT: Performing the ROM update through a USB hub is not recommended because it may cause the host PC to receive a "General Protection Fault" error, thereby forcing a reboot of the host PC on completion of the ROM update. 1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file 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. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the ROM upgrade. 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. - Reset the handheld on completion. 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 process. The total time needed to perform this ROM update is estimated at 10 minutes. 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. |
