1.6 Reader Care and Maintenance
While the HPR Lite reader has been designed to be as rugged and durable as possible, please observe the
following points to ensure your reader provides many years of trouble free service:
• Fully charge the battery before first use of the reader or before putting the reader into storage.
• If the reader is exposed to salt water, rinse the entire unit with fresh water and dry it thoroughly
before putting into storage.
• Clean and dry the reader before putting it back into its carry case.
The HPR Lite is waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes (IP67 rated). The reader was not designed or
intended to be operated underwater or otherwise intentionally submerged.
NOTE: Water cannot enter into the reader through the connector, but any moisture could damage the
terminals in the Micro USB cable if inserted while wet.
Do not try to access or replace the internal battery. Contact Biomark for battery replacement.
Risk of fire if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
1.7 Updating Reader Firmware
New or updated firmware may periodically become available for the HPR Lite reader. You can check
Biomark’s web site to see if an update is available. The easiest way to update the firmware is through the
Biomark Tag Manager or BioTerm communication software. Biomark Tag Manager requires a product key to
run, which is included with each purchase of the reader (1 PC installation only). Please contact the Customer
Service Department at Biomark to obtain the key by calling [phone] or emailing
[e-mail].
To check for availability of a firmware update or to download Biomark Tag Manager or BioTerm software
please go to https://www.biomark.com/help/firmware___applications/.
Please refer to corresponding software’s User Manual, available at https://www.biomark.com/help/
manuals___instructions/, for the reader’s firmware update procedure.
Refer to section 5 Communicating with Reader for more information on how to establish reader’s
communication with a PC.
NOTE: As a precaution, you should download all tag IDs contained in memory before initiating the update
process. All settings may be reset to manufacturer default values during the update process, so it is
recommended that you take a note of the present settings prior to updating the reader.
