Initiating manual software updates for the IP Phone 1535

You can manually initiate the download and installation of available updates to the IP Phone 1535 system software using the Update Software configuration option.

The Update Software function initiates the download and installation of the available system software upgrade. This process can take several minutes.

ATTENTION

When updating the IP Phone 1535, it is important to note that you must update the device for every available software version between the current version and the latest version, inclusively. In updating the IP Phone 1535, you cannot install the latest version of the system software without having installed every earlier software version first. The update packages are not cumulative, and must be applied in order.

The IP Phone 1535 will regularly check for updates every 24 hours. Should the update fail, it will retry every 15 minutes (to a total of three tries). Subsequent failures to update will cause the IP Phone 1535 to perform successive update attempts as follows:
