To install GS-911 for Windows Mobile:
You can install GS911WM5 by either
- downloading the .CAB install file here and using your Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center (from Vista) to install it,
or
- by pointing your internet browser to :
http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911/software/GS-911WM5-SP-709-1.CAB
Using your phone's browser, you will have to log in with your HEX Portal username and password too - however your browser will prompt you to do this when you go to the link above.
It should install and end with a message like "GS-911WM5-SP-709-1 was successfully installed on your device"
If you are having any hassles with installing a .CAB file, pls have a look at this helpful tutorial from Pocket PC Central
To setup the Bluetooth connection and test it:
Now launch the GS-911 application and accept the License Agreement.
In the main screen, select [Menu] -> Setup -> Select the COM port you chose in your Bluetooth settings, and press [Apply]
This should result in the listing of the GS-911 device's version,
K-line Status, Serial No., etc..
Now you're ready to go!!!
