Programmer Setup and Operations Guide 1
1 Introduction
The Model Prog-003 Programmer is a compact and portable device
that allows you to program and retrieve patient data from an
AngelMed Guardian IMD. The Programmer comes equipped with:
♦An External Device (EXD) for communicating with a patient’s
IMD
♦A stylus and touchscreen for selecting programming options
♦An integrated stand to provide a convenient viewing angle
♦Two USB flash drives (not shown) for backing-up patient data
♦Two batteries and AC adapter (not shown) for operating the
Programmer either with or without an AC line source

Introduction

AC Operation
You can operate the Programmer indefinitely from standard AC line
current by using the supplied AC adapter. The AC adapter can
simultaneously power the Programmer and recharge the batteries.
Warning:
Do not use any AC adapter other than the one supplied with your
Programmer. Use of another adapter can damage the Programmer
and result in personal injury or property damage.
Battery Operation
The Programmer comes equipped with two batteries. The batteries
are hot swappable, meaning that they can be removed and re-inserted
even when the Programmer is operating.
The Programmer can operate in battery mode for up to 2 hours
depending on the charge and condition of the batteries. You can
operate the Programmer with only one battery; however, doing so
reduces the time that the Programmer can run in battery mode. To
operate the Programmer for longer time periods, plug-in the AC
adapter.
Indicator lights on the Programmer front panel provide constant
feedback on the state of the battery charge. For additional
information on the batteries and the battery indicators, see:
♦Front Panel Controls and Indicators on page 5
♦Checking the Battery State-of-Charge on page 19
♦Recharging the Batteries on page 20

Introduction
Programmer Setup and Operations Guide 3
USB Flash Drive
The Programmer is supplied with two USB flash drives: A and B.
Only one flash drive is in use at a given time. Keep the other at a
nearby location for disaster recovery purposes.
The flash drives are used only to back-up and restore Programmer
data as discussed in the AngelMed Guardian Programmer
Application User’s Manual.You do not need to plug-in the flash
drive for routine Programmer operation, such as retrieving and
analyzing IMD data or IMD programming.
Caution:
Do not use generic USB flash drives or the flash drive of another
Programmer. A Programmer can only use the flash drive it was
shipped with or its replacement from Angel Medical Systems.
Optional Keyboard and Mouse
Although the Programmer is designed to be operated using the
touchscreen and stylus, an optional keyboard and mouse are also
available and can be obtained from your AngelMed representative.

2 Setup
Use the following steps to set-up the Programmer.
Unpack the Programmer
1. Unpack the Programmer and any accessories from their shipping
boxes.
2. Ensure that you have all the components and articles that have
been specified on the packing list(s).
Contact your AngelMed representative if any items are missing.
Charge the Programmer Batteries
When the Programmer is shipped to your site, its batteries are not
fully charged. We recommend charging them now, so that you can
use the Programmer without having to plug it into an AC line outlet.
Caution:
If you do not intend to use the Programmer for 6 months or
more, do not charge the batteries at this time. Storing
completely charged batteries for long time periods (≈6 mo);
can degrade battery life.
To charge the Programmer batteries:
1. Ensure both batteries are fully inserted into the Programmer.
2. Plug the AC Line cord into the receptacle on the AC Adapter.

Setup
Programmer Setup and Operations Guide 9
3. Plug the other end of the AC line cord into the wall outlet.
4. Plug the DC power cord of the AC adapter into the
Programmer’s Power In port ( ) as shown in the following
figure.
5. Leave the Programmer plugged in until it is fully charged as
indicated by the Capacity indicator on the front panel.
Connect the EXD to the EXD Cable
1. Check the EXD battery compartment and, if necessary, insert the
custom EXD battery.
Caution:
The EXD uses a custom battery supplied by Angel Medical
Systems. Use of any other battery may damage the EXD or
cause it to fail. Although “AA” sized batteries will fit in the
battery compartment, only the battery supplied by Angel
Medical Systems allows proper functioning of the EXD.

thumb screws on the EXD cable to secure it to the EXD.
Caution:
Always secure the EXD to the cable using the thumb screws.
Failure to do so can allow the EXD cable to become
disconnected during a communication session with the IMD.
