Prepare Your LifeDrive Device

Download and Install

7. The update process will auto-start after you complete a HotSync operation (as instructed by the installer). Do not disconnect your power cable during the process.
   
   Note: During the update process, your device may reset several times. This is normal. If your device takes more than 30 seconds to turn back on, or will not power on, perform a soft reset.
8. When the update is complete, your device will ask you to tap a series of targets. Do this, then set the time and date on your device. Then select Done.
9. After the update finishes on your device, the installer will ask you to perform another HotSync operation to restore your data. Important: When asked for your username, select the same username that you looked up earlier. The backed up personal data and applications will be restored to your device.

Restore Data

10. The installer includes a final HotSync operation to restore your personal data and applications in Program Memory.

If your Macintosh's web browser does not expand the file automatically, you will need to use an expansion utility such as Allume StuffIt Expander to decompress the file. Note the folder location in which the decompressed files are saved.You should see the following files in the folder:
   

AAACheckerApp.prc AAACheckerApp_deDE.prc AAACheckerApp_enUS.prc AAACheckerApp_esES.prc AAACheckerApp_frFR.prc AAACheckerApp_itIT.prc BrahmaBEFIGS.pdb brahma-ipl-dvt2.md5.pdb brahma-ipl-dvt2.pdb brahma-ipl-dvt.md5.pdb brahma-ipl-dvt.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.a.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.b.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.c.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.d.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.e.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.f.pdb brahma-palmos.zip.g.pdb
