   - 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.

   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.
