NOTE: Confirming the HP iPAQ model ID number before starting to download and

following two methods to confirm your HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger model ID:

Method 1: Power On the HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger and tap Start, then tap Settings, 
          then tap the System tab, then tap HP Asset Viewer, and then tap the 
          System tab.

Method 2: With the HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger Powered Off, remove the battery cover
          and the battery. The model ID number is printed on a sticker that is 
          located under the battery. Be sure to reinsert the battery promptly to 
          avoid data loss.
  
Before proceeding, ensure that this software package supports the model ID 
identified for your HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger.
             
IMPORTANT: The RUU is designed to replace the current ROM image and to erase
           the partnership and all user data and programs on the HP iPAQ Mobile
           Messenger. It is important to read and understand the information in 
           the Readme file included with this update BEFORE installing the software
           package.

	   Use ActiveSync to synchronize your personal calendar, contacts, e-mail, 
           tasks, and notes data with Microsoft Outlook on a desktop to save this 
           information before performing the ROM update. After completing the ROM
           update, establish a new ActiveSync partnership with the desktop.
	   The HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger synchronizes your personal data from 
           Microsoft Outlook. Reinstall any user-installed software programs and 
           additional personal data, if necessary.
	  
NOTE: Due to changes in the registry and system files introduced by the new ROM, 
the new ROM will not recognize a backup file that is generated using the previous
ROM.
