TITLE: HP iPAQ Pocket PC h2200 Series ROM Update

VERSION: 1.10
DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq contains the ROM Update Utility (RUU) and 
ROM image for the listed handheld models. 
             
   IMPORTANT: This update utility replaces the current ROM image and erases
   the partnership and all user data and programs on the handheld. It is 
   important to read and understand the information in the Readme.txt file 
   included with this update BEFORE installing this SoftPaq.

   NOTE: Do not perform the ROM update through a USB hub. Installing through
   a USB hub may cause the host PC to receive a General Protection Fault error
   thereby forcing a reboot of the host PC upon completion of the ROM update.

   Users updating the ROM through a serial connection on a host PC running
   Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP could receive a "Connection
   Error" during the update. If this occurs, simply follow the on-screen 
   instructions and try again. If the problem persists, unplug the serial 
   connection and perform the update using a direct connection to the USB 
   port of the host PC.

HOW TO USE:

     1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive.

     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 Pocket PC and 
        host PC using either a USB or serial connection. 

     4. Execute the RUU.exe file in the directory created in Step 2
        to begin the upgrade process. Follow the on-screen instructions 
        displayed by the ROM Upgrade Utility. 

     5. Delete the self-extracting file downloaded in Step 1, if desired.

INSTALLATION NOTES: 

     1. During the update, the ROM Update Utility will: 
	- Query your device for current ROM image information. 
	- Validate that the new ROM image is compatible with your device.
	- Automatically place the iPAQ in flash mode. 
	- Update the ROM image on your device. 
	- Request that you Reset your device upon completion. 

     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 for enough time to start and complete the update process. 
        The total time required to perform a ROM update is estimated to be as follows: 
	  - USB connection - 20 minutes 
	  - Serial connection - 90 minutes 

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

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

     6. The update process can be performed while connected to a host PC either
        as a Guest or with an established partnership.
