5.1 Connecting to PC via USB
When the reader is connected to a computer via the USB cable, it will automatically turn on and
beep once (if not already on and if beeper is enabled), vibrate for a short time (if vibration is
enabled) and the USB icon (
) will be displayed on the screen. Once connected, Biomark
Tag Manager or BioTerm software can be used to access the reader's memory or to configure its
settings.
The reader's internal battery will be slowly charging while it is connected to a PC via USB. The
rate at which the battery will be charging depends on the PC's USB port specifications.
Note: The HPR Lite USB driver needs to be installed on the PC in order for the connection to be
established successfully. The driver should get installed automatically upon connection of the
reader to a USB port of the PC. If the driver did not get installed automatically, the USB icon will
not be displayed on the reader's screen and the connection will not get established. In this case

the driver needs to be installed manually. It can be found at
usb-driver.
5.2 Connecting USB Flash Drive
A USB flash drive can be connected to the HPR Lite using a micro USB OTG adapter for
transferring the content of reader's memory.
Once the adapter is plugged into the reader, the reader will automatically attempt to connect to
the drive. Once it is connected, the HPR Lite will automatically create a new CSV file and copy
only those tag IDs from the reader's memory that had never been transferred onto a Flash drive.
The entire memory content can be transferred onto a Flash drive manually.
