5.1 Overview

By default, DHH805-A communicates with ABB devices only.
Model codification enables user to select a universal license
allowing communication with all devices from all manufacturers.
Universal communication capability for ABB-only devices can
also be purchased separately.

5.2 License upgrade procedure

Once the device with "ABB only" license has been activated
successfully, the license upgrade can be performed via PC-Tool
or automatically.
Important. To have the PC-Tool communicating with the DHH805-A
always select [Settings > Listening] on handheld main menu.

5.2.1 License upgrade via PC-Tool

As per activation, ABB PC-Tool will detect internet connection
availability.

in place, PC-Tool will show a warning message (see figure 8).
By flagging the "Off-line update" box, the user has now two
