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 Medtro nic 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 o nly 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 l es s tha n 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 si d e of th e door opening.
Push the hook downwards until the battery is released and slightly ejected by the spring
loading mechanism.

3.1.2 Connect the AC adapter
As the battery is delivered with around 50% of the charge, it is recommende d to charge it
fully for the first time. The battery is charged by connecting the NGP1 Computing Platform
to its AC adapter as il lustrated below. The D C plug must be connected by lifting the lower
part of the rubber door placed on the bottom left part of the NGP1 Computing Platform.

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 t h e NGP1 Computing Platform.

5 NGP1 Computing Pla tfo r m features
5.1 Display
Your NGP1 Computing Platform has a sturdy 12.1" XGA TFT LCD display with the
following features:
• highly readable LCD (liquid crystal display) panel with a wide viewing angle
( typical +/-50°on both horizon tal and vertical directions).
• resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels
• Minimum output brightness ( with control set at 100%) of 400 cd/m2
• Long life LED backlight
5.2 Touch screen
Above the LCD display , a resistive touch screen panel allows both finger and passive
stylus pen input. High resolution and fast refresh rate are allowing precise and fast on
screen selection, dragging, scrolling.
Depending on the OS support or application, also right click features may be available.
The touch screen panel has a 4H hardness and it comes already fully calibrated. Due to
the specific 8 wire technology, long lasting precis ion is guaranteed and no use r calibration
is required.
The touch screen has an effective anti-glare and anti-reflection treatment acrylic screen,
with minimum impact on screen sharpness and light output.

5.4 Using the RF-ID reader
The NGP1 Computing Platform has an integrated 13.56 MHz RF-ID (Radio Frequency
Identification) reader that you can use to retrieve information from RF-ID tags.
RF-ID technology makes use radio frequency (RF) transmissions to identify products or
persons. RF-ID does not require direct contact or line-of-sight scanning, and can be
scanned through many materials, including plastics, clothes, carton boxes etc., with the
exception of metal.
An RF-ID tag can store much more data than a typical bar code, and some RF-ID tags can
both transmit and record data. RF-ID can be used for asset tracking, identification,
process control, health care, and pharmaceutical applications.
The RF-ID reader supports the following formats ( proximity a nd vicinity ranges = 0 to 6
cm):
• ISO/IEC 15693
• ISO/IEC 18000-3
If supported by specific applications, the NGP1 Computing Platform allows you also to
write tags, provided that they are supporting the above standards. Using your RF-ID
reader is rather simple.

Security
5.10.1 Built-in features
Your NGP1 Computing Platform includes several features that are dedicated to increase
the level of security of your data. Among them:
• BIOS is accessible only by authorized personnel
• TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 1.2.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a specific protection against malware intelligent
attacks.
The nature of this security chip ensures that the information like keys, password and
digital certificates stored within is made more secure from external software attacks and
physical theft . W ith the handful of keys it stores, all cryptographic functions are performed
on the chip.
TPM provides the ability for a computing system to run app lications more secured, allows
secured remote access, performed electronic trans actions and co mmunication more safely.
These features are available but not activated in your NGP1 Computing Platform. T hey are
usually set up by your system administrators.

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 disab le unused accessories while running on bat tery
