   to perform this ROM update is estimated at 20 minutes.

   remove it from AC power or the cradle/cable once the status bar 
   appears on the iPAQ Multimedia Messenger and the actual update has 
   started.

   any available instructions to correct the condition and start the 
   ROM Update Utility again.
