TITLE: HP iPAQ rx3700 Series Mobile Media Companion ROM Update

VERSION: 1.01.10

DESCRIPTION: 
This package contains the ROM Update Utility (RUU) and ROM image for the 
listed iPAQ model and operating system. The ROM Update Utility replaces
the current ROM image on the handheld with an updated version.  
             
  IMPORTANT: This update utility is designed to replace the current 
	     ROM image and erase the partnership and all user data and 
	     programs on the iPAQ handheld. It is important to read and
             understand the information in the Readme.TXT file included 
             with this update BEFORE installing this package.

       NOTE: Do not perform the ROM update through a USB hub, because it may 
	     cause the host PC to receive a "General Protection Fault" error, 
	     thereby forcing a reboot of the Host PC on completion of the 
	     ROM Update.

	     This update does not work through a serial port connection.

error, thereby forcing a reboot of the Host PC on completion of the ROM 
update.

  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. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the ROM upgrade.

       
INSTALLATION NOTES:

  1. During the update, the ROM Update Utility will:
      - Query the handheld for current ROM image information.
      - Validate that the new ROM image is compatible with the handheld.
      - Automatically place the iPAQ handheld in Flash mode.
      - Update the ROM image on the handheld.
      - Reset the handheld on 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 complete the update process.
     The total time needed to perform this ROM update is estimated at 
     10 minutes.
        
  4. IMPORTANT: Do not interact with the handheld or remove it from AC 
     power or the cradle/cable once the status bar appears on the handheld
     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 ROM
     update utility again.

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