------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for uploading the new software to your iQue 3600a using Microsoft
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP:
1. Download and save the iQue3600a_Release2.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 back up
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 3600a 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.

hole.

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.

update. The Updater.prc and UpdaterData.pdb files will then be installed on
the iQue.
7. Remove the iQue from the cradle. It is very important that the iQue's
battery does not run out during the updating process, so please verify that
it is fully charged. 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.
8. 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.

the lower-left corner).

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.5.2.1r2.
11. 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 been using to
identify your iQue on your PC, and your information will be restored to
the iQue.
