1. Click on your PC desktop wireless icon to get a list of available WiFi networks the PC can join (as
shown in Figure 60), or follow the process on your phone to see all the available WiFi networks the
phone can join.
2. Select “DM32-4xxxxx”, where “4xxxxx” is the serial number of the gauge
3. Connect to “DM32-xxxxxxx”
4. Run the software you wanted to use with the WiFi connection to the gauge

device from connecting.
