I can’t get my computer to communicate with my monitor. Or, when trying to program or retrieve data, I receive the error, “Cannot communicate with ABP device.” How do I fix this?

Check the hardware settings under Configure, then Preferences. Select a configuration to Edit. Serial Port will show all ports available on the computer.

1. If using the USB adapter, install the driver (mini CD included in USB adapter packaging).
2. Ensure the Oscar 2 has battery power.
3. Ensure that another device, such as a Holter monitor or PDA, is not connected to the specified port. Remove the device or change the serial port for your Oscar 2 to a port that is not being used.
4. Check that the appropriate ABP device is connected. After you have changed the settings, connect your ABP device and select Test Port to confirm that the computer and monitor are communicating.
