6How to Use1. [Preparation]Insert batteries.Open the cell cover to place AAA 1.5V 2 EA while checking the polarity (+,-) andthen close the cover.Connect the cable to a glucometer.2. [Bluetooth pairing and glucometer model configuration]A. Bluetooth pairing is an authentication process between a Bluetooth adapter and a targetdevice that readings are supposed to be sent to.The following procedure should be performed to pair the Bluetooth adapter with aNEW target device.If Bluetooth pairing fails, the latest pairing info is preserved. And the Bluetoothadapter can send readings to the latest paired device.If you try to pair with the latest paired device again, it’s recommended to delete thepairing information on both sides. Use the Hidden button for BA400.Besides the pairing mode, the adapter will not respond to a connection request notcoming from the paired device.The detailed steps are as follows:①Delete the current pairing information of BA-400 using the hidden button. For theother side, it’s recommended to delete the pairing information about BA-400 ifexists.②Let BA-400 be pairing mode by pressing and holding the Red button for more than7 seconds until the RED LED turns ON.③When the LED turns RED, the Bluetooth adapter is at pairing standby mode. Theadapter will advertise with the Bluetooth name “BA400_(Model)_(BT address:the last 6 characters).” For example, “BA400_JnJ_123ABC”.④Perform “Device search” on the target device and find a device named as“BA400_(Model)_(BT address).”⑤Pair the target device with the BA-400.
7⑥If the pairing succeeds, the Green LED blinks three(3) times. If fails, the Red LEDblinks five(5) times.Sample procedure of Bluetooth pairing BA-400 with smartphone1. Download ‘BA-400’ app and run it. 2. Select ‘YES’ to turn ON Bluetooth.3. Please insert 2 AAA batteries into the device. 4. Press and hold the Red button until Red LED is ON.SelectSelectInsert BatteryRed ButtonRed LED
85. Press ‘Scan’ button. 6. Select the device from your smartphone.7. Insert PIN number provided by H3. 8. If the pairing is successful, GREEN LED turns ON.LEDSelectSelect
99. After successful pairing, the below ‘connected’ screen will appear on your smartphone.Please disconnect manually by using your smartphone’s back key or closing the application.Connected DisconnectedGlucometer model configuration process is a process to specify the glucometer modelto be used. This process can follow the pairing process.Prior to regular use, the glucometer model must be assigned to the adapter.While being connected, set the glucometer model with configuration tools such asH3App.The default glucometer is Lifescan(Johnson and Johnson)If a different glucometer is connected to the adapter, the readings cannot betransferred. And battery power consumption may be large.The sample sequence with H3App is as follows:①Once connected, the device information will be shown on your smartphoneapplication (For example: ‘Device Type: J&J’).②Choose the glucometer of your choice from ‘Device Type’ and disconnect BA-400 manually by using your smartphone’s back key or closing the application.DisconnactManually
101. Select ‘Device Type’ from your smartphone. 2. Choose the glucometer brand and select ‘set’.3. Select ‘OK’ button. 4. The new ‘Device Type’ will appear on screen.SelectSelect
113. [Automatic data transfer]Take a reading with blood glucose meter connected to a Bluetooth adapter, BA-400.The adapter will wake up and start downloading readings stored in the glucometer. Atthe wake-up, you can see “- - -” on the glucometer display.The measured data is automatically transmitted to the paired target device such as amobile phone, a gateway, etc.If the data transmission succeeds, the Green LED blinks three(3) times and if fails, theRed LED blinks five(5) times.The detailed steps are as follows:①Take a reading with the glucometer connected to the adapter.②After measurement, the adapter will wake up automatically and startdownloading readings from the glucometer. At this step, you can see “- - -”on the glucometer display. And the BA-400’s LED blinks GREEN.③After completion of the download, the adapter will show green LED blinktwice for success and red LED blink twice for failure.④For success, the adapter will start advertising with the GREEN LED’s blinking⑤The pre-paired device, such as a smart phone, can connect to the adapter. (Theadapter will not respond to the other device’s connection request.)⑥After connection is established, the paired device can receive glucose readingsfrom the adapter based on the BLE glucose monitor profile. For this step, theBA-400’s LED turns on and keeps GREEN.⑦The paired device is strongly recommended to memorize the readings that itreceived recently so that the paired device can download only the readingsnewly taken and un-received.For LifeScan(Johnson and Johnson)’s glucometers, it may take more than 10 secondsfor the first data transmission.For OneTouch Ultra, the GREEN LED keeps blinking until the glucometer shuts offafter data transfer.
12NotesOnly normal readings and control solution readings will be transmitted.Erroneous readings will not be transmitted.“HI” and “LO” readings will be transmitted as the highest and the lowestvalues, respectively. For example, 600 mg/dl and 20 mg/dl.If data download from the glucometer succeeds but Bluetooth communicationfails, then the downloaded readings are stored in the adapter and the readingscan be transferred to the target device at the next successful Bluetoothcommunication.For some glucometers, the automatic data transfer described above is not supported.For those meters, please use manual data transfer or automatic wake-up modedescribed laterSample procedure of automatic data transmission with BA-400 and smartphone1. If the device is already connected, ‘Disconnect’. 2. Connect BA-400’s cable with a glucometer.Connect Cable

1511. Please select one of the following options:-All: Display all the readings-Last: Display the last reading from smartphone.-Greater than: Display the readings that are greater than the setting value.3. [Manual data transfer]Press the Red button of the Bluetooth adapter while a glucometer and the adapter arebeing connected.The adapter wakes up and starts downloading data from the glucometer. At the wake-up, you can see Green LED’s short flashing and “PC” on the glucometer display.The readings will be downloaded and the adapter connects to the target device.Even in the case that there is no reading in the glucometer; the adapter connects to thetarget device via Bluetooth.The others are the same as those for automatic data transfer.This feature can be used for troubleshooting.Select
165. [Automatic Wake-up Mode]When the adapter downloads new readings from the glucometer, it tries tocommunicate with the target device. If it fails, it tries every 3 hours. After successfulcommunication, it stops retry. Checking and receiving new readings are the roles ofthe target device.6. [Changing the glucometer connected]If you want to change the glucometer with new one, disconnect the glucometer,remove batteries, press the Red button several times, wait for a while, insert batteriesagain, and connect the new glucometer. And try to take a reading and confirm datatransmission.If the glucometer model is changed, you must configure the glucometer model again.After pairing or changing the glucometer, it is strongly recommended to do datatransmission once for confirmation.When the glucometer is changed, the entire information stored in the adapter will beinitialized. For example, readings downloaded from a glucometer previously will bedeleted7. [Low battery sign and battery replacement]If the LED keeps blinking Red just after taking a reading or pressing the Red button,please replace the batteries with brand-new ones.
17CautionsBe sure to carefully read the user’s manual before use.Keep the Bluetooth adapter in a clean and dry place away from dust or corrosive gases aswell as away from firesDo not apply any shock or vibration to the productDo not rub the product with inflammable such as alcohol, benzene, or acetone the cancause chemical change.
