While the handset is busy upgrading, you will not be able to use any of the features of the phone.
A firmware upgrade can take approximately 25 minutes. Do not cancel the upgrade or turn off the device during the process.
After completing the firmware upgrade and reboot, the handset should register automatically with the base station. If it does not register, please perform a manual re-registration.
