Common Questions
Choosing Battalions for Your Unit Status List in the P1 Mobile
When you log onto the PremierOne (P1) MDC, you get a list of units and their statuses. You might see your battalion (Area in P1-ese) and you might see more than your battalion. Here are the steps to control which battalions you see:
- Click the Options button in the bottom-right corner.
- Select Monitor Area.
- Click the Areas drop-down list and click to select any area you would like to include (or click it again to uncheck that battalion).

Stopping Your Visio Map from Expanding into a New Page
Like other Microsoft software, Visio likes to help sometimes and it may differ from your undersanding of the word. One common way of helping is to create new pages automatically for you if you get too close to the margins.
As map makers, you want your drawings to be close to the margins but without making new pages.
To turn this feature off:
- Switch the Design tab.
- Find the Auto Size button on the left side of the ribbon.
- Click the button. It is a toggle, so it will turn back on if you prefer it to be enabled.

Charging the CF-20 Toughbook
As you may have noticed, there are two charger ports for the CF-20 — one on the tablet and one on the base/keyboard.
- If you plug in the charger on the tablet port, only the tablet receives the charge. (You will see a charge light for the tablet and a red light for the keyboard.)
- If you plug in the charger on the base/keyboard, both receive the charge. (You will see a charge light for the tablet and another yellow charge light for the keyboard.)
Reattaching the CF-20 Tablet to the Keyboard
You have been working with the CF-20 as a tablet and want to reattach it to the keyboard.
With the computer unfolded as though it were attached and the screen was separated at about a 90 degree angle from the screen:
- Ensure you are facing the keyboard and that the screen is level with the tablet screen facing you, parallel to you.
- Align the screen above its dock.
- The bottom of the tablet is this:
- The docking mechanism on the keyboard/bottom half of the computer is this:
- The bottom of the tablet is this:
- Press down evenly and simultaneously on both sides until you hear each side click into place.
Separating the CF-20 Tablet from the Keyboard
If you find the Toughbook CF-20 bulky for use while writing your eMEDS patient report, you may want to consider separating the tablet from the keyboard and just carrying the tablet with you.
Note two things first:
- The lock/unlock switch: Make sure that you flip the switch up to unlock the device before you attempt to separate the tablet from the keyboard. In the image above, the switch is in the locked position.
- Release switch: Slide the Release Switch to the right (as far as it will go) and it will stop in place. If it jumps back to the left, you have not fully released the tablet.
After you have addressed both of these, the screen/tablet lifts straight upward and away from the rest of the device. (Remember not to leave the keyboard in the hospital, the patient’s home/incident location or elsewhere that is not under MCFRS control.)
