other software from sources that offer adequate security
and protection against harmful software.

• If you install a file that contains an update or repair to

an existing application, you can only restore the
original application if you have the original
installation file or a full back-up copy of the removed

software package. To restore the original application,
remove the application, and install the application
again from the original installation file or the back-up
copy.

• The .jar file is required for installing Java applications.

If it is missing, the device may ask you to download it.
If there is no access point defined for the application,
you are asked to select one. When you are downloading
the .jar file, you may need to enter a user name and
password to access the server. You obtain these from
the supplier or manufacturer of the application.
