At the bottom of the screen to the right is a "Configuration" window, it may say "Automatic" or

window to expedite the allocation process.
Step 4 Reading a "chip"

The number of the "chip" appears on the screen on first line of the reader, possibly followed by
one or two lines of numbers corresponding to the phone number(s) (if reading a chip where

You will need to send this data to the PC.
Reconnect the V8BT to the PC if it was disconnected and then click the window at the bottom
