available (see Respond to a system software
your phone's operating system, your personal information and files are not

Respond to a system software notification
When you get a notification that a system update is available, do one of the
following:
• Tap Install Now twice. When installation is complete and the phone
resets, tap Done. Installation times vary, depending on the size of the
update. You cannot use your phone while an update is being installed, not
even for emergency calls.
• 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. If you do not tap Install Later within 10 minutes of
receiving the notification, installation begins automatically.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the battery while updates are being installed.
Here is some additional information about system updates:
• Whenever possible, use a Wi-Fi connection to download system updates.
Downloads occur faster over Wi-Fi than over a Verizon Wireless data
connection, and use less battery power. If you open the System Updates
app and see that a system update is available for download, make sure
you have your phone's Wi-Fi feature turned on.
• If you have Wi-Fi turned on and the battery has enough charge, your
phone automatically downloads a system update if one is available—you
don't have to do anything. If Wi-Fi is not turned on when the update
becomes available, the Palm servers continue to check your device for
Wi-Fi availability.
• If you do not have Wi-Fi turned on anytime within a few days of the
system update notification, your phone automatically downloads the
update over the Verizon Wireless network the next time the battery has
enough charge and you have a data connection, as indicated by the
icon at the top of the screen.
• If the battery does not have enough charge, you must charge the battery
before you can download or install an update.
