Please note
u The firmware update can last up to 3 minutes.
u When updating from the Internet, checks are made to ensure that no newer

nated and a message is issued to that effect.
Please note
If the telephone is not connected to the Internet at the time when the check
for new firmware is to be carried out (e.g. because the router is deactivated),
the check is carried out as soon as the phone is reconnected to the Internet.
