Wasp HC1 User Manual 

Chapter 3 – Getting Connected 

The HC1 enables users to link to a host computer using an RS-232 cable, or Bluetooth, WiFi, 

or GPRS connection for data communication. This chapter provides an overview of the HC1 

communication options. 

3.1 Establishing Device – PC Connection 

3.1.1 Installing Microsoft ActiveSync (XP Users Only) 

If you are running the Microsoft XP operating system, in order to exchange data between your 

computer and the HC1, Microsoft Active-Sync must be installed on your computer. Use the 

USB/RS232 charging cable that comes with your device or the docking station to connect the 

device to your computer. 

 

NOTES:

 If you have a previous version of the Microsoft ActiveSync installed in your computer, 

uninstall it first before installing the latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync. 

If you are running Windows 7, you do not need to install ActiveSync.    You will use 

Windows Mobile Center rather than ActiveSync. 

 

To install Microsoft ActiveSync on your computer: 

1. 

Close any open programs, including those that run at startup, and disable any 

virus-scanning software. 

2. 

Download the ActiveSync software from the Microsoft ActiveSync Download page at 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Fami-lyID=7269173a-28bf-4cac-a682

-58d3233efb4c&DisplayLang=en

3. 

Browse to the location of the downloaded file, and double-click it. The installation wizard 

begins. 

4. 

Follow the instructions on the screen to install Microsoft ActiveSync.
