   not contain any file or folder from any previous ROM Upgrade.) 

3. Establish an Activesync connection between the iPAQ Pocket PC and host
   PC through either the USB or serial connection. 

4. Execute the RUU.exe file, which is located in the directory created in 
   Step 2, to begin the upgrade process. Follow the instructions displayed by 
   the ROM Upgrade Utility.
