Upgrade Procedure:

• NOTE: After upgrade, the phone loses its auto sign in info if there was one (Skype account is signed out during upgrade.)

This is a 2 stage process – the first stage will be on the SPH101 and the second stage will be on the PC where you have installed the SPH101 WiFiPhone Update Utility. You must follow and complete both stages to successfully upgrade the firmware on the SPH101.

On SPH101:

1. Select Menu from the main screen.
2. Scroll down and select Settings.
3. Scroll down and select General.
4. Scroll down and select Software Updates.
5. Scroll down and select Update from PC.
6. The phone will then sign you out and reboot into a mode that will accept the firmware.
7. You should see the following screen "Make sure the power cable is plugged in or the battery is fully charged before continuing with the update process".
8. Press OK.
9. Select the wireless network where the computer that will be running the WiFiPhone Update Utility is also connected to and press Next. The SPH101 and the Update PC must be on the same network in order for this firmware update to start.
10. A summary of the wireless network that you have selected will show up with the SSID, MAC address and the type of security.
11. Press Connect. Depending on your wireless settings, the phone may prompt for you to enter the security information such as WEP/WPA key or passphrase.
12. Once you have successfully connected to the wireless network, you will see the “Successfully connected IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.” You will also see the “Enter this SPH101 IP address on your WiFiPhone Update PC, Press NEXT when finished.”
13. You now have completed the first process of the upgrade on the SPH101. Please install the WiFiPhone Update Utility on the PC and proceed to the next part of the upgrade process.
