Switching Off; Charging Procedure; Pc Connection Using Spcs - Micro Direct MicroLab Operating Manual

Switching Off

The unit is switched off by pressing the On/Off button. The unit can be
disconnected from the mains by unplugging the charger from the mains
socket or unplugging the USB cable if no mains supply is connected.

Charging Procedure

The MicroLab's internal batteries are discharged when shipped from the
factory and should be fully charged on first use. If the MicroLab is not for
a few months, it must be recharged every three months to keep the
battery alive. A fully charged device will hold the charge for a few
months. Plug the AC adapter into the mains supply and plug the adapter
output plug into the power input socket on the right-hand side of the
instrument. The orange charging light next to the power input socket will
flash to indicate charging and will turn on constantly to indicate full
charge.
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 MicroLab and cause a fire or electrical
hazard. Do not plug in and remove the power lead from the AC adapter
repeatedly.
Please Note: Dispose of the waste battery in accordance with your local
waste management regulations.

PC connection using SPCS

The optional Spirometry PC Software (SPCS) is an easy to use PC based
windows application that interfaces to the MicroLab via the USB port. It
incorporates a database into which patient details can be entered and
downloaded to the MicroLab or test results may be uploaded from the
MicroLab to the PC.
Using SPCS and the MicroLab, live blows can be performed with the PC
directly controlling the operation of the MicroLab.
The results and graphs produced are displayed directly on the PC screen.
The spirometer is connected from the USB port on the PC, to the USB
port on the right-hand side of the instrument using the USB cable
provided with the Spirometry PC Software.
Note: Always keep the PC and monitor out of reach of the patient.
