• A Handheld device (HHD) running Windows Mobile Classic 5.X (6.X recommended) or

higher with at least 50 Mbytes of free memory.

• HHD must be Bluetooth enabled and able to assign a Bluetooth connection to a COM

port.

• Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.5.0 or higher installed on the host PC if host PC

operating on Windows XP (see Figure 16). If host PC's operating system is Vista,

Windows 7 or Windows 8 then Windows Mobile Device Center should be installed on

and the HHD must be established either via a physical link or Bluetooth.

Note: For customers using a PC running Window 10 operating system; Windows Mobile Device

Center (WMDC) may no longer operate as it should because of an operating system update

(released October of 2017) called "Fall Creator Update". If WMDC no longer launches when a

mobile device is connected via USB cable or will not manually launch, the link below should

help fix the issue. Please note that administrative privileges are need to launch some of the files

involved in the fix so your local IT person may need to be involved. The fix can be accessed via
