WIRELESS BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
BTL-08 ABPM Plus is a recorder with wireless communication. It operates with Bluetooth(R) technology. Most up-to-
date computers today come with in-built Bluetooth capability, or are easily extendible using a small USB Bluetooth
dongle. Bluetooth functionality works seamlessly in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or newer releases, but it can be
usually added to older Windows versions as well. Windows XP Help, as well as the documentation of Bluetooth
dongles, contains detailed information how wireless devices can be used, and this is described in detail in BTL-08
ABPM SW Help as well. However, if you use the above mentioned devices, you may need the following information
during the first startup procedure after the installation of BTL-08 ABPM SW.
1. If you wish to use a wireless, Bluetooth-capable BTL recorder, open the Tools - Options dialog of BTL-08 ABPM
SW and select the Communication category. Select the type of the recorder, then click on the appearing
Bluetooth settings button. In the appearing dialog, click on the Connect setup button to go to the next step.
2. In the appearing dialog you can see BTL recorders which have already been added to your computer. Place fresh
batteries into the new BTL-08 ABPM Plus recorder and make it Bluetooth discoverable.
Press the START and the MEDICATION button simultaneously for longer than 3 seconds, then release them.
The recorder remains discoverable for a minute then switch back to stand by mode. If the recorder switches back
to standby mode, make it discoverable again.
After this you have made the recorder discoverable, click on the Add button.
3. If there is a moving torch, the PC searches for Bluetooth devices. Should the recorder switch back to stand by
mode due to a timeout, make it discoverable again then click on the Add button.
4. After the search the found devices are listed. The name of the recorder is BTL-08ABPM, where this is the last
four digits of the serial number found on the back of the recorder. Selecting the appropriate recorder, the OK
button becomes active, please click on it.
5. As authentication key (PIN), please enter the last four digits of the serial number. After entering the PIN, click on
the Finish button.
6. Wait until the system installs and configures the new Bluetooth device.
By clicking on the Test button you can check the communication. Make the recorder discoverable before the test
as described above.
