82 Section 2B: Move Around on Your Phone
Update the Software on Your Phone
Palm continually provides updates to your phone’s operating system. Update notifications are
sent to your phone automatically when a system update is available (see “Respond to a
System Software Notification” on page 82). When you update your phone’s operating system,
your personal information and files are not affected.
What’s more, both Palm and many application developers make updates available for
applications you have installed on your phone. Update notifications are sent to your phone
automatically when an application update is available (see “Respond to an Application
Update Notification” on page 83).
In addition to receiving update notifications, you can manually check for software or
application updates at any time (see “Manually Check for Updates” on page 84).
Respond to a System Software Notification
When you get a notification that a system update is available, do one of the following:
䢇
Tap Install Now twice. When installation is complete and the phone resets, tap Done .
䢇
Tap Install Later . The next time you charge your phone, you receive another update
notification. You can again choose whether to install the update now or later. You have ten
minutes to decide to defer the installation; after ten minutes, the update is installed
automatically.
Important You can use your phone while updates are being downloaded, but you
cannot use your phone to make calls (including emergency calls) while
updates are being installed.
Important Do not remove the battery while updates are being installed.
