If you are using a Bluetooth connection, you have to install drivers for the USB Bluetooth adapter that you
received with the instrument. If you are using a computer with the Windows 7 operating system, drivers will be
automatically installed when you connect the USB Bluetooth
®
adapter. If you are using the Windows XP operating
system you have to insert the installation disc for the USB Bluetooth
®
adapter in the personal computer. Open the
Drivers\WinXP folder on the disc and double click on ‘Setup.exe’. Follow the on-screen instructions. Install the
software with the default options. After driver installation, insert your USB Bluetooth adapter into the personal
computer and wait for the driver installation to complete. To install system drivers and software you need
Administrator privileges on your computer. In case of problems with driver installation please contact your local
computer administrator for help.
12. Make certain that your device is set to Bluetooth
®
Slave mode, and that the ‘BT name’ and ‘BT pin’ are set (see
‘Bluetooth’ setup pg. 7 for detailed instructions).

Pair your SENTRY
®
200 instrument with your personal computer by clicking on the ‘Start menu’ of your computer,
than go to ‘Devices and Printers’ and click on ‘Add Device’ in the upper left corner. Wait for the computer to finish
scanning for Bluetooth devices. Select you SENTRY
®
200 instrument from the list of found devices (default name
is Sentry200.XXXX where XXXX represents instrument serial number). When asked for the PIN code, enter the
‘BT pin’ code that you entered in your device (default PIN code is 1234). After you click on the ‘Close’ button
your device should be installed. In case of problems with driver installation please contact your local computer
administrator for help.

After the driver installation for your SENTRY
®
200 instrument, double click on your instrument in ‘Devices
and Printers’. Select the ‘Hardware’ tab and write down the serial port assigned to your instrument. The
name of the serial port is in the following format: COM<number>. You will need this information for the
ELLIE Assay Retrieval Tool.
With the Assay Retrieval Tool Program installed on your personal computer, you are now able to use the Assay
Retrieval Tool. Please use the following steps when retrieving assay data.
