*lt; Software Update Precautions *gt;


Before updating software, turn power off to end all active functions/applications, then restart handset.
Make sure battery is fully charged or charger is connected; a low battery may cause update failure.

Implement Software Update in a place where signal is strong and stable. Do not remove battery during Software Update.

Software Update may take up to approximately 15 minutes. More than one update may be required depending on handset. Follow onscreen instructions.

Do not remove battery during Software Update. If Update fails to complete after about 20 minutes, remove and reinstall battery before retrying. If Update still fails after retrying, bring the handset to the nearest 

SoftBank shop.

Handset is disabled until update is complete. Other functions are disabled during Software Update.
Software Update should not affect Phone Book entries, images, sounds, etc. saved on 705P/705Px. 

However, handset data may be lost due to hardware failure, damage, or water damage etc. Always back up important information before using Software Update.

Update automatically cancels Keypad Lock. Set Keypad Lock again after Software Update if necessary.
Packet transmission fees do not apply to updates (including checking,
downloading and rewriting).
