Notes:
- Release 3 or later must be installed before upgrading to Release 6 EFIGS. If you have a version earlier than Release 3, you will need to upgrade to the English-only version of Release 3 or later before attempting to install EFIGS.
- The Palm Que API Library Ver 1 patch is no longer necessary since all changes made in the Palm Que API Library Ver 1 patch were incorporated into Release 4 and later.
- If you've installed our patches in the past, it is possible to encounter a problem after updating to the latest full release and restoring your data. Therefore, it is recommended that you delete any of the following files that exist in the Backup directory in your Palm user profile on your computer: any QueAPILib files, any QueFind files, and QueClock. Once you've deleted these files from your computer, perform a hard-reset on your iQue and Hotsync to your user profile to restore your data. (Users of card backup utilities may also need to keep old versions of GrmSystem and Mmcsd from being restored.)
- After updating to Release 6 EFIGS, it is still possible that some custom information such as application category names and Address Book custom fields will remain in English. Please refer to the documentation for those specific applications to determine how to customize that information.
- Repair services are no longer available for this product
- Note: This software is only compatible with the following previous versions: v.5.2.1r3 or later

- Place the iQue in the cradle and perform a HotSync on the unit to backup any of your current data. Please ensure that the iQue is fully charged before proceeding with the software update process.
- Perform a Hard Reset of the unit. To perform this procedure you will need the reset tip tool, which may be unscrewed from the head of the Stylus that came with your iQue. The following instructions are also included on page 1.6 of the iQue 3600 Integrated Handheld Operating Instructions manual.
A. With the unit turned off, press and hold in the reset button on the back of the unit using the reset tip tool.

C. Click on the New... button to display the New User window.
D. Enter a unique name for the user, such as Release6EFIGS, then click OK.
E. Close out of the Users window by clicking OK.
- If you are using Intellisync Lite or another synchronization program, from within that program configure your new user to synchronize with the Palm Desktop or any available alternative that does not contain your primary data.
- Install the software update to the new user (Release6EFIGS).
A. Double click the iQue3600withEFIGS_Release6.zip, then unzip to a location that can be easily found, such as the Desktop. There will be three files: Updater.prc, UpdaterData.pdb, and a copy of these instructions (iQue 3600 EFIGS Release 6.txt).

- You may update the iQue while it is in or out of the cradle. However, once the update has begun, do not place the iQue into or remove the iQue from the cradle. This could interrupt the update. Also, it is very important that the iQue does not lose power during the update process, so please verify that the battery is fully charged if you won't be powering it externally. Failure to charge the iQue fully prior to updating the software may result in a permanent loss of the OS.

D. Tap the Info... menu item.
E. Tap the Version button at the bottom of the screen. The update was successful if the second line of the screen displays Palm OS software v.5.2.1r6.
- If you are using Intellisync Lite or another synchronization program, from within that program make sure the current user is set to the User name that you have been previously using to identify your iQue.
- To restore your previous information to the iQue, place the iQue in the cradle, then perform a HotSync. A window will appear asking to select a User. Select the User name that you have been previously using to identify your iQue on your PC, and your information will be restored to the iQue.
