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 iPAQ Personal Messenger
   and the host PC using a USB connection.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

1. During the update, the ROM Update Utility:
   - Queries the iPAQ Personal Messenger for current ROM image 
     information.

     iPAQ Personal Messenger.
   - Automatically places the iPAQ Personal Messenger in Flash mode.
   - Updates the ROM image on the iPAQ Personal Messenger.

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.
        
4. IMPORTANT: Do not interact with the HP iPAQ Personal Messenger or 
   remove it from AC power or the cradle/cable once the status bar 
   appears on the iPAQ Personal Messenger and the actual update has 
   started.

5. If an error message is displayed during the update process, follow any 
   available instructions to correct the condition and start the ROM 
   Update Utility again.

   as a Guest or with an established partnership.
