Printing

Using  the  cables  provided  connect  the  mini  USB  A/B  socket  on  the

back of MicroLoop cradle to the input socket on the printer. For a list

of  compatible  printers  refer  to  the  web  site  or  contact  your  local

dealer

It  is  recommended  that  during  printing  the  batteries  are  placed  on

charge with the cradle connected to the mains adapter.

NOTE:

 Keep the printer out of reach of the patient at all times.

Charging Procedure

The MicroLoop’s internal batteries are discharged when shipped from

the  factory  and  should  be  fully  charged  on  first  use.  Plug  the  AC

adapter into the mains supply and plug the adapter output plug into

the power input socket on the cradle.  The orange charging light on

top  of  the  unit  will  flash  to  indicate  charging  and  will  turn  on

constantly  to  indicate  full  charge.  The  blue  lights  on  the  cradle  will

also be illuminated.

The  batteries  will  take  approximately  4  hours  to  become  fully

charged.

Note:

 Use only the AC adapter supplied.  Use of any other type may

cause  permanent  damage  to  the  MicroLoop  and  cause  a  fire  or

electrical  hazard.  Do  not  plug  in  and  remove  the  power  lead  from

the AC adapter repeatedly.

PC connection using SPCS

SPCS is an easy to use PC based windows application that interfaces

to the MicroLoop via a USB or serial port.  It incorporates a database

into which patient details can be entered and downloaded to the

MicroLoop or test results may be uploaded from the MicroLoop to

the PC.
