| − | | |
| − | In both Windows and MacOS, you'll first need to add the Wi-microDig as a virtual serial (or COM) port. The instructions [http://infusionsystems.com/catalog/info_pages.php?pages_id=236 here] explain how to do this. Once this is done, you can continue to the next section.

| − | 3. In Windows, wait until a message has appeared in the Windows System Tray confirming that the Wi-microDig has been recognized by Connect. In MacOS, in Connect, enable the Wi-microDig with matching serial number. Once enabled, the blue LED on the Wi-microDig will illuminate and the Wi-microDig entry will be listed in bold. If you don't see the Wi-microDig listed in Connect, make sure it was added as a Bluetooth device to the operating system and added in Connect.

If Link doesn't connect to the Wi-microDig, check that your Bluetooth is turned on, that the Wi-microDig is powered and that it is listed in bold in Connect. Link will not warn you if once of these conditions hasn't been met, it will just not connect.
