MC Toolkit Software Installation/Maintenance
Overview
The MC Toolkit application software and SDC 625 application software, as well as all available HART
device Descriptions (DD), have been pre-loaded into the PDA’s memory chip at the factory. The MCT101
is ready to use once the necessary batteries (included) are installed in the DE/HART Modem and PDA. It is
recommended that you review the PDA manufacturer’s documentation for general use requirements such as
battery charging requirements and configuration options.
The MCT202 should be unpacked per the separate safety instruction sheet.
We have also included a CD-ROM that includes the MC Toolkit application software and SDC 625
application software, should you ever need to reload it.
To establish a partnership between your desktop PC and the PDA, follow the PDA manufacturer’s
documentation on how to install ActiveSync and establish a connection. The ActiveSync software is
provided on the PDA manufacturer’s CD-ROM disk, or it can be obtained directly from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp
Note:
The handheld computer needs to be connected to the MC Toolkit Modem for the MC Toolkit software to
operate correctly. If the modem is not connected to the handheld computer, an error message will appear.
Use the short interface cable provided for this purpose.

folder in the MC Toolkit Device Description file structure.
