Getting started
5.1. MESI mTABLET UNBOXING
Before you start, you will need to set up all the components in your practice.
Step 1
Connect your charging station to the mains and to the local area network with the network cable and power adapter provided.

Step 2
Turn on your MESI mTABLET UNIT with the power button and set it on the charging dock to fully charge it.

After all the components are set the MESI mTABLET will connect automatically to the MTABDSW Wi-Fi and is ready to use.
5.2. SET UP
The first time you use the MESI mTABLET you will need to go through a setup process, which establishes the system according to your preferences. The guided process begins when you start your device for the first time and shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes.
The first part is the technical set up, which is only done by the first user. This includes setting up additional WI-FI connections and deciding on language use.
The second part is establishing your user account, which will be used to access your patient’s data on the MESI mTABLET UNIT or MESI mRECORDS.
Step 1 - Languages
Since the MESI mTABLET UNIT offers several languages, select the language you wish to use from the drop-down menu. This setting can be changed later in user settings.

Step 2 - Wi-Fi
The MESI mTABLET WI-FI DOCKING UNIT for the MESI mTABLET UNIT comes with a built-in Wi-Fi access point to which the MESI mTABLET UNIT will connect automatically on first use.
If another wireless network is desired, please select it from the list and enter security information.
Wi-Fi is not required for the essential functions of the MESI mTABLET, but it is necessary for measurements to be synced to the MESI mRECORDS web application.

Step 3 - Register
Each user accessing the MESI mTABLET needs to register an account, which will also enable them to access data securely on other devices (personal computer, tablet, phone if needed).
To secure your account, we provide a two-step verification process - meaning you need to confirm the account with your e-mail account, as well as with your mobile phone.

Step 4 - Licence Agreement
Before you start using the device, you will need to agree to the terms and conditions. This includes privacy policies and how we handle your data. You can always review it in the MESI mRECORDS web app. The account is not created until you have read and agreed with the terms and conditions.

Step 5 - Registration
Registration is the part where you insert your personal information like Name, Surname, Specialisation and where you choose all your passwords and lock code for fast tablet access.

Step 6 - Choose avatar
For faster identification of your profile, you can choose your avatar from a set that is provided at this step. Profile image can be changed later on under user settings either on MESI mTABLET UNIT or in MESI mRECORDS.
User types
Registered users are set into working groups which, depending on their user profile have different rights.
Users are separated into two groups "doctor" and "nurse". A doctor can create and is a working group owner, giving him the option to invite other doctors or nurses into his working group. A “nurse” profile, on the other hand, can only access the MESI mTABLET UNIT in cases where the doctor has invited her into his/her working group. This access can be revoked at any time by the working group owner.
Step 7 - Practice info
Like a real practice, the MESI mTABLET system connects medical personnel in a working group environment. They are created to enable patient data sharing between practice staff and at the same time protect it.
Adding users to your working group helps you share patient data with your coworkers.
The first time you use the tablet, enter the e-mails of your co-workers. If they already have an account registered, they will become a part of your working group and if not, they will get an invitation in their e-mail inbox to register online.
Adding users into your working group is optional at this point. If you want to add users at another time, go to Doctor > Settings > Working groups.

Step 8 - Working groups
Each doctor can be the owner of only one working group but can be invited into multiple working groups. At the same time, he can add multiple nurses or doctors into his/her working group. Nurses, on the other hand, can be part of many working groups, but they can’t create one or add more people to it. This system enables greater oversight of patient data access.

NOTE: the 1st user that registers becomes the MESI mTABLET UNIT owner which has the highest level of authority on the MESI mTABLET UNIT. This user has the privilege to remove unnecessary accounts and paired modules from the MESI mTABLET UNIT.
5.3. PAIRING A DIAGNOSTIC MODULE
Before any recordings can be performed, the appropriate module needs to be paired to your MESI mTABLET UNIT. Please take the MESI mTABLET UNIT and open user tab (for more information about user accounts please see the chapter 9 Managing users).
