http://www.garmin.com
------------------------------------------------------------
WARNINGS:
If this software is uploaded to a GPS unit other than the product for
which it is designed, you will not be able to operate that unit.
------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for uploading the new software to your iQue 3600 using Microsoft
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP:
1. Download and save the iQue3600English-only_Release4.zip update file to a
location on your computer. This file will need to be located later so please
locate this in a readily accessible folder.
2. Place the iQue in the cradle and perform a HotSync on the unit to backup
any of your current data. Please ensure that the iQue is fully charged
before proceeding with the software update process.
3. Perform a Hard Reset of the unit. To perform this procedure you will need
the reset tip tool, which may be unscrewed from the head of the Stylus that
came with your iQue. The following instructions are also included on page
1.6 of the iQue 3600 Integrated Handheld Operating Instructions manual.
A. With the unit turned off, press and hold in the reset button on the back
of the unit using the reset tip tool.
B. Continue to hold in the reset button while you press and hold the power
button.
C. While holding in the power button, remove the reset tool from the reset
hole.
D. Continue holding the power button until the Palm logo appears on the
screen.
E. Once the Palm logo appears, release the power button.
F. Press the up button when prompted to confirm the erase of user data.
4. A new user for the software update will need to be created for use during
the software update process.
A. Start by launching the Palm Desktop application
B. Go to the Tools menu, then select Users... to display a list of the
current users.
C. Click on the New... button to display the New User window.
D. Enter a unique name for the user, such as Release4, then click Ok.
E. Close out of the Users window by clicking OK.
5. If you are using Intellisync Lite or another synchronization program, from
within that program configure your new user to synchronize with the Palm
Desktop or any available alternative that does not contain your primary data.
6. Install the software update to the new user (Release4).
A. Double click the iQue3600English-only_Release4.zip, then unzip to a
location that can be easily found, such as the Desktop. There will be
three files: Updater.prc, UpdaterData.pdb, and a copy of these
instructions (iQue 3600 Release 4.txt).
B. Double click the Updater.prc file. This will open the Palm Desktop
Install Tool.
C. Select the new user that you have created (Release4), and click OK.
D. Double click the UpdaterData.pdb file to place it in the Palm Desktop
Install Tool.
E. Close the Palm Desktop Install Tool by clicking Done, then click OK.
7. Place the iQue in the cradle and initiate a HotSync. A Select User window
will appear. Select the new user (Release4) that you have created for the
update. The Updater.prc and UpdaterData.pdb files will then be installed
on the iQue.
8. You may update the iQue while it is in or out of the cradle. However, once
the update has begun, do not place the iQue into or remove the iQue from the
cradle. This could interrupt the update and require you to send your unit to
Garmin for repair. Also, it is very important that the iQue does not lose
power during the update process, so please verify that the battery is fully
charged if you won't be powering it externally. Failure to charge the iQue
fully prior to updating the software may result in a permanent loss of the
OS requiring you to send your unit to Garmin for repair.
9. Locate the Application called Updater. It can be found under the category
of All. Once you have located the Updater Application, tap on it once.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.
10. After about 4 minutes, the green light at the top of the unit will turn off.
Once the green light at the top of the unit has disappeared, remove the iQue
from the cradle (if necessary) and perform a Soft Reset using the reset tip
tool. To perform a Soft Reset, press the reset tip tool into the Reset hole
on the back of the iQue. The unit will restart within about ten seconds of
the Soft Reset. Follow the on-screen setup instructions.
11. Verify that the software update was successful.
A. Go to the Launcher (tap on the house icon in the lower left corner)
B. Tap the menu icon (it is the "down-arrow" icon just to the right of the
house icon in the lower left corner).
C. A drop down menu will appear.
D. Tap the Info... menu item.
E. Tap the Version button at the bottom of the screen. The update was
successful if the second line of the screen displays Palm OS software
v.5.2.1r4.
12. If you are using Intellisync Lite or another synchronization program, from
within that program make sure the current user is set to the User name that
you have been previously using to identify your iQue.
13. To restore your previous information to the iQue, place the iQue in the
cradle, then perform a HotSync. A window will appear asking to select a
User. Select the User name that you have been previously using to
identify your iQue on your PC, and your information will be restored to
the iQue.
14. Delete the temporary user (Release4) by going back to the Users window in
the Palm Desktop. Select the user, click Delete... then click YES to
delete it.
