to make sure its software version is 1.7.0 or greater. If your software
version is less than 1.7.0, you need to install the software update that

was included on the MMC or SD card that packed with your RIM 200;

otherwise your display unit will NOT work with the RIM 200. If your
display unit has software version 1.7.0 or greater, you do not need to

install the software update.
