1. Basic Preparation
Thank you for choosing the WORKABOUT PRO.You’ve purchased
a hand-held with a wide range of options to help you tailor the unit to
meet your exact requirements now and in the future.
Your WORKABOUT will provide many years of productive use.
Important:
All approval and safety information is outlined in the
‘WORKABOUT PRO C, M-E & S Regulatory & Warranty
Guide’, PN 8000084. It is important that you review all
safety guidelines before charging a battery or operating
a scanner.
This quick start guide provides basic information on the operation
and features of the Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO S HandHeld Computer. For more detailed information, refer to the WORK-
ABOUT PRO M-E, C & S Hand-Held Computer User Manual or the
documentation supplied with the application you are using.
Typically, WORKABOUT PRO S hand-helds are configured at the
factory and arrive ready for use.
1.1 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be
fully charged prior to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at
least 5 full charge/discharge cycles have been performed.
Keep in mind also that, along with the main battery, the WORKABOUT PRO S is equipped with an internal, backup battery that preserves data stored on the unit while the main battery is swapped.
Important:

The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery.
To maximize battery life, avoid excessive discharging and
recharging of the backup battery by keeping the main
battery fully charged.
IF YOU ARE POWERING UP A NEW UNIT, a warning
message may appear on the screen indicating that the
backup battery capacity is low. To recharge the backup battery, you must fully charge the WORKABOUT PRO with
the main battery installed in the unit. An overnight charge is
recommended.
1.2 Installing The Battery
• Turn the fasteners at the base of the battery cover counterclockwise to unlock the cover and remove it. The top of the
stylus is shaped to help you loosen the fasteners.
• Insert the charged battery. Replace the battery cover, and turn
the fasteners at the base of the battery cover clockwise to lock
the battery in place.
Note: If you are using a docking station, you can insert an
uncharged battery, dock the unit and switch it on.
1.3 Switching The Unit On
• Press and hold down the [ENTER/ON] key for at least
one second to switch the unit on.
• When the LED flashes green, release [ENTER/ON].

state. The screen in which you were working prior to the suspend state is displayed.
1.4 Switching The Unit Off (Suspend)
