Updating the phone software
From time to time, software updates for your phone may be available. Your phone can
check and then notify you if there’s a new update. You can then download and install
the software update using your phone’s Wi-Fi or data connection.
Checking and downloading phone software updates may incur additional data transfer fees
from your mobile operator.
Make sure your phone has a microSD card inserted. The update will be downloaded to the
microSD card.
Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and
customized settings, and also remove any applications you’ve installed. Make sure that
you’ve backed up the information and files you want to keep.
When there is an update available, you may see the Install system software
update dialog box appear on your screen. Select

an update notification. After you end the call, slide open the Notifications
panel (see “Opening the Notifications panel” in the Getting started chapter).
