Updating your phone’s system software

From time to time, system software updates for your phone may be available. Your phone can check and then notify you if an update is available. You can then download and install the update to your phone.

Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and customized settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. See “Backing up phone data” in this chapter for details.

Checking and downloading system software updates may incur additional data transfer fees from your mobile operator.
