  2. Reboot your VCM?
    Any time you soft reset your P-PC you should reboot your VCM

  3. Update your VCM to the latest software?
    Return to the PDS Toolbox/Home screen, make sure the VCM is connected (VCM Connection button shows a Green Tick), then press the VCM Connection button to reboot the VCM and update its software automatically

  4. Check for PDS Software and/or Database updates in PFM regularly?
    Docking your P-PC with your PFM PC regularly will allow it to check for updates for you

  5. Make sure your P-PC is Fully Charge?
    Charging your battery nightly is the best method.
