Desk Panels DPG – Designed to shape behaviour
Use your sit-stand desk better with Desk Control App
DPG with reminder
DPG desk panel models with reminder
The DPG with reminder family consists of DPG1M, DPG1B and DPG1C Desk Panel models. All DPG models are activated by tilting; an easy intuitive way to adjust a desk without any attention needed. With the DPG, you get up to four memory positions which are reached by simply tilting the panel until the desk stops at the stored position.
The colour indicates to the user to change position
The integrated reminder function of the three DPG Desk Panel models is visualised by a light. Its colour reflects the current usage status of the desk. A colour change of the light reminds the user when it is time to change position. The reminder function thus naturally supports the user to achieve a healthy posture variation throughout the day.
Compatible with the Desk Control™ app
DPG Desk Panel models with a reminder function are compatible with the Desk Control app, using the integrated Bluetooth® wireless technology. The app allows the user to keep track of his personal desk usage statistics on a smart device and get notifications when to stand.

DESKLINE product overview
MOVE – Why sit-stand desks increase work performance
Desk Panels DPG - the innovative way to adjust office desks
Desk Control™ App - Can I combine the use of the app on more devices at the same time?
No. There is only one Bluetooth® connection on the DPG. So only one device can be connected at a time to the DPG. The device (either your mobile or your computer) that first connects with the DPG will be the device on which you can use the app.
Desk Control™ App - I cannot find the Desk Control App in the Windows Store. Why is that?
The Desk Control App for Windows is only available for Windows 10 in the Microsoft Store. If you have an older Windows version, you cannot download the Desk Control App.
Desk Control™ App - My desk drives only a few centimetres, then it stops. Why is that?
Your Bluetooth® driver may be outdated. Ensure that the latest Bluetooth driver is installed on your computer.
Desk Control™ App - What is the difference between connecting as “Owner” and connecting as “Guest”?
The difference is where your personal settings are stored and whether you are automatically reconnected to the desk.
If you connect as “Owner”, your reminder and favourite settings are stored in the DPG on the desk and your app will automatically connect to this desk when you arrive at it and track the statistic sit/stand data throughout the day.
If you connect as “Guest”, your reminder and favourite settings are stored on the app on your smart device/computer and when you connect to a desk, these settings will reflect in the DPG. You need to pair the app with the desk every morning and then for the rest of the day the app will automatically connect to this desk and send standing notifications and keep track of sit/stand data.
Desk Control™ App - Who can access/use the data?
The data can only be accessed in your device. LINAK does not access or use any data entered in the app (such as favourite positions, height, weight, and gender) or collected by the app (statistics).
Desk Control™ App - Who owns the data entered in/collected by the app?
The user owns all data entered in/collected by the app. Delete the app to delete all data. Go to settings on your device to delete the app. If you re-install the app, you need to pair the app and the desk again to be able to control the desk via the app.
Desk Control™ App - Why can I not operate my desk with the app?
You can use the app if your desk has Bluetooth® connection. The Bluetooth connection happens via a DPG desk panel with reminder (all app versions) or a BLE2LIN adapter (iOS, Android and Windows 10). If you have a DPG without Bluetooth, you cannot use the app.
Desk Control™ App - Will the app keep collecting data if I am not at the desk?
The app detects if the smart device/computer is close enough to the desk to be connected to it. The app will collect data if the connection between the smart device/computer and the desk is established, even if you are not at your desk.
As long as your computer is within reach of the DPG Bluetooth® connection and you are logged into your computer, your standing time is counted in. When your computer is in standby mode, or you have locked the screen, standing time is not counted in.
Desk Control™ App - Will the app remind me to stand if I am not at my desk?
The app detects if the smart device/computer is close enough to the desk to be connected to it. The app will only send notifications if the connection between the app and the desk is established.
How to clean your desk panel
Watch and learn how to easily clean your LINAK desk panel/switch in this short instruction video: How to clean it; which cleaning agents to use; and, last but not least, what you need to pay attention to.
Clean your desk panel with a soft damp cloth. Universal cleaning detergents may be used.
To disinfect the desk panel, use a 70% isopropyl alcohol either as a wipe or add a small amount to a soft cloth.
Warnings
The desk panel is not a sealed unit and there are electronics inside it. If liquids or moisture get into an opening, the PCB may be damaged, and the desk panel ruined.
So:
- Avoid moisture penetrating any openings as this may damage the PCB inside the desk panel
- Avoid spraying the cleaning agent or disinfectant directly on the desk panel as moisture may penetrate openings, damaging the PCB inside the desk panel
- Cleaning agents and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value must be 6 to 8), and they must not contain bleach or chlorine
- Do not use hand sanitiser gel as a cleaning agent
Alkaline and acidic cleaning agents may, over time, decompose the housing. Hand sanitiser gel may deposit on the desk panel buttons. Over time, the buttons may get stuck, or they may not work properly.
