recommend that you download updates when you have a
Wi-Fi connection. Remember, these updates can be quite
large (25MB or more) and may not be available in all
countries. If the mobile network updates are not available in
your country, update using a computer.

On your computer, go to www.motorola.com/support and
check the “Software Updates” links. If an update is available,
just follow the installation instructions.
