What is the battery life of the MICA-101?

Under normal conditions, a fully charged battery lasts up to 5 hours. Charging a new battery takes approximately 2.5 hours.

How do I use the digitizer pen?

The digitizer pen allows you to control the system. The side button functions as a right mouse button, and the top button is the eraser. Tap to click, double-tap to double-click. Store the pen on the back of the device when not in use.

How do I enable the RFID function?

Press the RFID button on the device; an enable message appears within 2 seconds. Hold the sensor card within 25 mm of the upper left corner (marked on the back). A beep confirms successful reading. Press the RFID button again to disable.

How do I scan a barcode?

Press the barcode scanner button on the right side. A sensor light illuminates for 3 seconds. Aim the back sensor at the barcode. Adjust distance until a beep indicates success. The scanned data is output to the active text field.

What should I use to clean the MICA-101?

Use a clean, damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution. Do not spray liquids directly on the device. Avoid disinfectants containing phenol, strong solvents (aromatic, chlorinated, ketone, ether, ester), and abrasives. Never immerse the device.

Can I use the MICA-101 while it is charging?

Yes, you can use the MICA-101 while connected to the AC adapter. The battery charges simultaneously.

How do I calibrate the touchscreen?

Go to the Control Panel, find the touchscreen calibration utility. Press the calibrate button and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate either the resistive or digitizer touchscreen.

What operating systems are supported?

General Information

1.1 Introduction

MICA is a multimedia Atom Mobile processor-based computer that is designed to serve as a Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA). It is a PC-based system with 10.4" color TFT LCD display and an 18-bit stereo audio controller. MICA is a simple, complete and highly integrated mobile multimedia system which allows system integrators to easily build a Mobile Clinical Assistant Terminal into their applications.

Common industrial applications include factory automation systems, precision machinery, and production process control. It is also suitable for many non-industrial applications, including interactive kiosk systems, entertainment management, and car park automation. MICA is a reliable, cost-effective solution to meet an application's processing requirements.

2. Prepare agent per manufacturer's instructions or hospital protocol.
3. Wipe thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Caution!

Do not immerse or rinse MICA or its peripherals. If you accidentally spill liquid on the device, disconnect the unit from the power source. Contact your Biomed personnel regarding the continued safety of the unit before placing it back in operation.

Do not spray cleaning agent on the chassis.

Do not use disinfectants that contain phenol.

Do not autoclave or clean MICA or its peripherals with strong aromatic, chlorinated, ketone, ether, or esther solvents, sharp tools or abrasives.

Never immerse electrical connectors in water or other liquids.

2.3 Installation Procedures

2.3.1 Powering MICA by Battery Power

MICA is supplied with a powerful rechargeable battery. To install, maintain or replace the battery follow the instructions in this section.

Caution! Do not attempt to replace the battery with any others than the models recommended and manufactured specifically for the MICA product.

Note! Before using MICA, please connect the adapter to MICA to charge the battery and backup battery at least 24 Hrs.

2.3.1.1 Installing a Battery

The battery is designed specifically for installation with MICA. It fits exactly into the back of the PC and delivers precisely the exact voltage required to power the unit. Under normal conditions, a fully charged battery will power the PC for up to 5.0 hours. Normally, it requires 2.5 hours to fully charge a new battery.

To install or replace the battery pack:

1. Turn off MICA or press P1 button to enter S3 sleep mode
2. Press with your thumb positioned as in Figure 2.9 then remove the battery.

Figure 2.10 Remove Battery from the System

1. Install the battery pack into the slot until you hear a click sound (Figure 2.11)

When using the P1 function key to place the system in S3 sleep mode, the swap process must be completed within 10 minutes. The battery can be changed up to 10 times, each

change taking no longer than 60 seconds. After the fifth swap, it is necessary to plug the MICA-101 into the AC adapter and recharge the internal backup battery for at least 24 hours. During the swap process no LED indicator light is lit. Using S3 sleep mode will extend battery life..

2.7 Running the BIOS Setup Program

Your MICA has most likely been properly set up and configured by your dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date and time or your type of hard drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory. It can be accessed either when you turn on or reset the tablet PC, by pressing the "Crtl+Alt+Del" key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.

The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup program.

2.8 Installing System Software

Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk preparation and operating system installation. The guidelines below will help you determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on the tablet PC hard drive.

Note! Some distributors and system integrators may have already pre-

installed system software prior to shipment of your tablet PC.

If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into the optical drive until the release button pops out.

The BIOS supports system boot-up directly from the CD-ROM drive. You may also insert your system installation CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive.

Power on or reset the system by pressing the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys simultaneously. The MICA Terminal will automatically load the operating system from diskette or CD-ROM.

If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating system.

2.9 Installing the Drivers

After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet, VGA, Audio, RFID, WIFI and touchscreen functions. All the drivers except the CD-ROM drive driver are stored in a CD-ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities" which can be found in your accessory box.

The standard procedures for installing the drivers are described in Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 respectively.

The directory of drivers on the "Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM is shown below for reference:

Figure 2.21 The File Directory on the "Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM

Note! The drivers and utilities used for MICA are subject to change without notice. If in doubt, check Advantech's website or contact our application engineers for the latest information regarding drivers and utilities.

Note! The camera or webcam driver might need to be reinstalled after embedded program upgrades; follow popup screen instructions to complete the driver installation.
