3 Getting started
3.1 Pre requisites
The NGP1 Computing Platform is a component (or subsystem) of Medtronic Carelink
Encore Programmer and other subsystems are the Medtronic Patience Interface(MPI) and
associated Firmware, cables and software.
The operation of the computing platform is then depending on the loaded OS and
applications. So the following user information are covering only functionalities that are
minimally depending on the final use and configuration.
3.1.1 Insert the battery
The NGP1 Computing Platform includes a high capacity Lithium-ion battery that fits into
the right side of the unit Under normal conditions, you can run the NGP1 Computing
Platform on battery power for about two and a half hours. Keep the battery in an ambient
temperature of less than 40°C (104°F).
The battery, removed from its envelope, can be inserted as follows
Open the door with an upwards movement , being sure that the NGP1 Computing Platform
is in a stable position or it is held firmly. Then fully rotate clockwise the door. The battery
is anyhow kept in position by a hook located on the lower side of the door opening.
Push the hook downwards until the battery is released and slightly ejected by the spring
loading mechanism.
Lift the door up by pressing
upward on the battery door
recess
VERIFICATION ONLY 22 NOT RELEASED
After hearing a click and with
the door fully pulled up rotate
clockwise the door
Push the white hook fully
downwards till the battery
pack is released
VERIFICATION ONLY 23 NOT RELEASED
In the very unlikely event of a battery pack blocked in its compartment (due to shocks or
other abnormal usage conditions) While keeping the hook fully downwards, the removal
slip can be used to pull out the pack.
The battery pack can be reinserted by reversing the process.
Warning: To avoid personal injury, handle the battery with care. Do not
open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire or water
Warning: The IP 21 performance requires that the battery door is fully
closed and latched.
Note: Under normal conditions, you can run the NGP1 Computing
Platform on battery power for about two and a half hours.
But the
operation on battery can be increased if the NGP1 Computing Platform is
set with the proper Power Management settings under
the selected
Operative System

3.1.2 Connect the AC adapter
As the battery is delivered with around 50% of the charge, it is recommended to charge it
fully for the first time. The battery is charged by connecting the NGP1 Computing Platform
to its AC adapter as illustrated below. The DC plug must be connected by lifting the lower
part of the rubber door placed on the bottom left part of the NGP1 Computing Platform.
VERIFICATION ONLY 25 NOT RELEASED
The AC adapter allows to power the Computing Platform and to charge the battery pack, if
present.
For additional information about the NGP1 Computing Platform AC adapter, please consult
paragraph 5.11.
3.1.3 Turning the system on
The NGP1 Computing Platform can be turned on by pressing
the Power ON / stand by button.
After one second the LED turns ON. For a complete
indication about this LED signalling, see below.
The system starts booting.
Note: When there is the AC adapter inserted, the NGP1 Computing
Platform is losing its IP21 grade.
It is then recommended
, when using the NGP1 Computing Platform
disconnected from the AC adapter, to carefully close the rubber door. The
AC adapter must not be used in wet environments
or when the NGP1
Computing Platform is cleaned with liquids.
Note: When the AC adapter is
inserted and connected to the mains
while the Computing platform is off ,
the Power LED on the keyboards
blinks at a rate of 0.4 –
0.5 Hz in
order to indicate the existing
connections to the mains.
VERIFICATION ONLY 26 NOT RELEASED
3.1.4 Charging the battery
When the NGP1 Computing Platform is connected to AC power (or docked into its docking
station), the battery automatically charges until it reaches a full charge. This happens in
any power state of the NGP1 Computing Platform, either when the unit is hibernated or
fully operating or OFF.
Typically an empty battery can be fully charged in less than two hours.
There are two LEDs (one bicolour) that are indicating the status of the battery and the
status of its charge process, when active. The indication varies also depending on the
operating condition (power state) of the NGP1 Computing Platform.
Note To maximize the performance and the life of your battery, it is worth
to deplete the battery charge to less than 10% every two weeks.

Battery
The NGP1 Computing Platform comes with a lithium ion rechargeable main battery having
a capacity of 4000mAh at an output voltage of 11.1 V (P/N 4519 208 81321). The first
instructions on how insert and charge the battery are given in section 3.1.1 The NGP1
Computing Platform has three battery indicators that show the charge/discharge status.
Refers to 3.1.5.
VERIFICATION ONLY 41 NOT RELEASED
Note: The NGP1 Computing Platform OFF status is actually a minimum
power quiescent state that anyhow draws energy from the battery. If the
NGP1 Computing Platform is left OFF on battery for more than two weeks,
it is possible that the completely charged battery can be found depleted.
In this case the NGP1 Computing Platform must be turned ON with the AC
adapter or with a charged battery pack
Note: A totally depleted battery will recharge with an initial period of pre-
charge, during which the Windows Power Meter indicator of the remaining
battery charge (see 3.1.4 ) will remain at 0%.
This period may range
between 5 and 15 minutes.
Replace the battery pack only with the replacement battery designed for
the NGP1 Computing Platform to avoid the risk of fire or explosion
resulting in personal injury.
Do not use the battery pack in combination with other types of battery
packs (such as dry-
cell battery packs) or battery packs with different
capacities or brands. This can result in it being over discharged during use
or overcharged during recharging, possi
bly leading it to leak, overheat,
emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
CAUTION:
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type recommended the manufacturer.
Li-ion batteries include special circuitry
to protect the battery from
damage due to overcharging or undercharging. As Lithium-
ion batteries
also require sophisticated chargers that can carefully monitor the charge
process; put them in a charger not designed for Lithium-
ion batteries
create a potentially dangerous situation.
• To charge the battery follow the instruction in this User’s Manual.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. If disassembled, the
battery pack could leak, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite. Do not
connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a metal object
such as wire. Short-circuiting may occur leading the battery pack to leak,
overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
Do not pierce the battery pack with a sharp object, strike it with a
hammer, step on it, or throw it. These actions could damage or deform it,
internal short-
circuiting can occur, possibly leading it to leak, overheat,
emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
The battery pack enclosure should be checked upon collision damage;
please refer to qualified service personnel.
If the battery pack leaks, gives off a bad odour, generates heat, becomes
discoloured or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use,
recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the NGP1 Computing
Platform or charger and stop using it. If this is discovered when you first
use the battery, return it to your Supplier.
Do not transport the lithium ion batteries used in your NGP1 Computing
Platform in checked baggage. You may take up to two spare batteries in
carryon luggage in addition to the one in your NGP1 Computing Platform.
Transporting batteries in checked baggage or transporting more than two
spare batteries in carry-
on baggage violates transportation law.
Remember to remove battery packs from the b
attery charger before
transporting it in carry-on or checked baggage
VERIFICATION ONLY 42 NOT RELEASED
5.12.1 Storing main batteries
In case of long inactivity of the battery packs not inserted in the NGP1 Computing
Platform, it is preferable to store them neither fully charged nor totally empty. As the
battery will lose gradually its charge, it is recommended to recharge if the charge drops
below 20% or after a few months and possibly re-use it for a few recharge cycles.
5.12.2 Battery and energy management.
As already mentioned in paragraph 3.1.1, the battery charge can be wisely used and
extended by means of a few precautions. With a standard use, the typical battery life is
around two and half hours.
If a Windows OS is used, under Control panel / Power Options / Power schemes, you can
chose among Power management that matches the typical usage of the system while
maximizing the battery life and minimizing the waste of energy.
As example, turning off the display when the NGP1 Computing Platform is not used, can
help increasing the battery life of typically 10%.
Remember that the display, processor, wireless cards, and accessory drives all draw on
the battery, so adjust properties and disable unused accessories while running on battery

7 Troubleshooting
7.1 My NGP1 Computing Platform is not turning ON.
Make sure that the battery is properly inserted and latched or the AC adapter is fully
connected or that the unit is well docked.
Plugging the AC adapter into the DC in jack located under the protective cover on the
bottom of the unit, makes sure that the Adapter is also plugged into the wall socket.
If running with battery only, be sure that the inserted battery pack has some capacity left.
7.2 My NGP1 Computing Platform Power on LED is ON, but
nothing happens.
Make sure that the unit is not is stand-by by tapping on the screen.
As a last resort remove the power cord and the battery, wait ten seconds then insert
again the battery and power cord, restarting a power on procedure.
7.3 My NGP1 Computing Platform does not run smoothly
Simultaneous opening of too many applications will cause deterioration in application
performance.
To free up memory, close applications that are not in use, especially if they are CPU or
memory intensive (e.g. video playback)
If networked, Check wireless signal quality:
When the WLAN icon indicator in the icon tray is green, a wireless signal is available. If
you position your pointing device over it, you can get info about the current connection
and the related signal strength.
.Otherwise, double taps the Network icon on the bar at the bottom of the screen. Choose
the Wireless Information tab to show the current connection Access Point, or try
repositioning the antenna of the access point.
7.4 How do I turn off my NGP1 Computing Platform
To end operation, press the Power / Stand-by on the NGP1 Computing Platform right side.
Or tap the “START Menu” and then choose “Shut Down” to turn off the pad (if Windows is
installed).
Note: Pressing the Power button of the device for more then five seconds
will make a hard turn OFF preventing the Operating System to perform
the correct shutdown procedure. This is an extreme remedy in case the
device is not responding.
7.5 When I use the touch screen.
7.5.1 the cursor is not following the pen movement.
If you have just booted the system, allows more time for the touch functions to come up.
7.5.2 . the system does not respond to taps.
Be sure that you are tapping on a target (e.g. an icon) . If there is a misalignment
between pen tip and Windows indicator, please perform a new calibration, once that you
have realized that this is not due to the viewing angle with which you are operating the
system
Note: You might need to practice a couple of time in to operate your
screen with taps. Please customize the pen action:
