2. For 9-pin (COM) port handles, hold the handle upside down (so that the cable is

aiming upward); push the battery compartment cover from the middle of the device

towards the edge until the cover slides approximately ¼ of an inch. Remove your

finger from the cover, the cover will pop upward when released. Insert two (2) AAA

batteries into the battery holder, negative end in first, making sure to follow the

battery polarity diagram (negative end towards the top) located on the lower side of

the handle. Close the battery compartment cover.

3. For COM port handles, attach the female end of the 9-pin communication cable to an

available PC serial port. You may also use a 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter as necessary (see

note below). Secure the connections with the thumbscrews. Do not over-tighten.

If using a 25-pin serial port (e.g., COM 2), connect the 25-pin (female) -to- 9-pin

(male) adapter to the port on back of the computer. Then connect the female end of

the 9-pin connector on the communication cable to the 9-pin port on the adapter.

4. If you received a USB Spirometer, no batteries are needed. DO NOT plug the USB

Spirometer in to the computer until the Workstation and Spirometry software has

been installed. Once the software is installed, simply plug the USB connector into any

available USB port and the software will automatically detect the Spirometer.

 NOTE: For IQmark Holter and ECG users only: If one of these IQmark

programs is already installed and its security key on the same PC, you will

not need to adjust the security key.

C. Software Installation

Before installing the IQmark Digital Spirometry software on your computer, it is

important that you understand and carry out the following tasks appropriately.

screen. Press on the right mouse button and select

Properties

. Make sure the

Auto hide

box is checked. Click

Screen Saver

If screen saver or any energy saving feature is enabled on the computer, disable it. Refer
