installing patches the HP IPAQ 2490B PDA. Your administrator was given the PDA by either the STS
or Professional Development departments.

2. Performing a HARD reset on the PDA and Initial Setup after reset – Step #3
3. Copying Files, Configuring the Menu on the PDA, Installing the Daylight Savings Time Patch –
Step #7
4. Installing the Wireless Patch – Step #10
5. Running the REG EDIT Patch – Step #13
6. Setting Up the Proxy Setting – Step #19
7. Initial Login to the Network – Step #23
