■ Phone software updates
You may initiate phone software updates from the
Phone updates
menu. Also,
your service provider may initiate the updates by sending them over the air
directly to your device. This function is known as firmware over the air (FOTA).
Warning: If you start a software update, you cannot use the device,
even to make emergency calls, until the update is completed and the
device is restarted. Be sure to back up data before accepting a FOTA
update.
