Battery Swap Time
3.3.3 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not
been altered, battery swap time is between 10 and 15 minutes—you will not lose
data if the battery is replaced within this time frame.
Keep in mind that user data is stored in a RAM-based folder by default—data in
these RAM folders is lost if the main and backup batteries are completely drained,
or if the unit is cold reset. The safest place to store data is in the \Storage (onboard
FFS) folder or on an SD or MMC memory card.
To protect against data loss, the unit will automatically shut down with enough
reserve in the main battery to last up to 72 hours.
3.3.4 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity.
They must be fully charged prior to use.
Keep in mind also that, along with the main battery, the WORKABOUT PRO 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

Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking
stations, refer to Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
beginning on page 280.
For battery safety, refer to “Lithium Ion Battery Safety Precautions” beginning on page 280.
Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be
charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
• Desktop Docking Station (Model #WA4002-1)—operates as both a charger
and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in
the hand-held and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO With Windows Mobile 2003 SE User Manual 25
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Switching The Hand-Held On And Off
• Quad Docking Station (Model #WA4004)—can charge the battery of up to
four WORKABOUT PROs inserted in the docking station.
• Single Battery Charger (Model #WA3001)—charges a single battery.
• Quad Battery Charger (Model #WA3004)—charges up to four spare Standard or High-Capacity WORKABOUT PRO battery packs.
It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The WORKABOUT PRO’s intelligent
charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge
process when the battery is at maximum capacity.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 39
for additional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge
process until the battery temperature is between 0° C to 45 °C
(32° F to 113° F).

The <SCAN> Keys
The WORKABOUT PRO S is equipped with five yellow <SCAN> keys. Two
<SCAN> keys are located on either side of the unit, next to the screen. Three additional <SCAN> keys are located near the top of the keyboard. Pressing a <SCAN>
key activates the scanner beam. For units without internal scanners, these keys are
inoperable.
The Function Keys—<F1> to <F10>
Perform special, custom-defined functions. These keys are accessed by pressing
<FN/BLUE> followed by numeric keys <1> to <0>. They can be used with the
Windows Mobile 2003 SE operating system or another application.
3.6.3 Accessing Alpha Characters
All alpha characters are printed on the WORKABOUT PRO S plastic in orange
type above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press the
<ALPHA/ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha
character you want to type is printed.
Because the alpha keys on this unit are laid out much like the letters on a telephone—generally in groups of three letters per numeric key—you need to take a
few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples following help
illustrate how to access alpha characters.
3.6.3.1 Choosing A Single Alpha Character
The examples following illustrate how to access, A, B and C, all of which are
printed in orange characters above the numeric key <2>.
Important: The letters you choose appear in the taskbar, providing a visual
indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen.
To choose the letter a:
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key, and press the numeric key <2>.
Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a
numeric key, you’ll need to lock the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key ‘on’. By
default, the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once.
However, depending on how your unit is set up in the One Shots tab, you
may find that you need to press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock
it ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 82 for details.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO With Windows Mobile 2003 SE User Manual

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Creating Uppercase Letters
To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b:
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’. A shift-state indi-
cator icon in the taskbar will represent the orange key with a black frame
around it to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.
• Press numeric key <2> twice to display the letter b.
To choose the third letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter c:
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.
• Press numeric key <2> three times to display the letter c.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second
between key presses when selecting the second, third or fourth letters
on a key. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’–you’d need
to press the <2> key three times. With the <ORANGE> key locked ‘on’, if
you press <2> twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the
letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.
3.6.3.2 Creating Uppercase Letters
To display capital letters, you need to first activate the <CAPS> key. You’ll find this
key in orange print above the <.> (period) key.
• Press <ALPHA/ORANGE> followed by the <.> (period) key to turn on the
<CAPS> key.
All alpha keys are displayed in uppercase until you press <ALPHA/ORANGE> <.>
again to switch the <CAPS> key off.
3.6.3.3 Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.
Each time you press a numeric key from <2> through <9>, an alpha character will
be displayed on the screen. Remember that you can refer to the taskbar for a visual
indication of which alpha key will be displayed on the screen.
Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to
turn off or unlock the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key. Check the
taskbar to make certain that the shift-state indicator icon (refer to
Figure 3.9 on page 32) is replaced by the soft keyboard icon.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Note: When the main battery is at 50% capacity, a ‘low battery’ warning is dis-
played. When the battery is at approximately 10% capacity, a ‘very low
main battery’ notification bubble appears.
Under normal operating conditions, fully charged Standard Batteries hold a charge
for up to 8 hours. High-Capacity batteries can hold a charge for up to 12 hours.
As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the
unit at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the WORKABOUT
PRO battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain
peak performance.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its
brightness as low as possible.
• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven—that is, when the unit is not in use, it
reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery
power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.
Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow
the unit to sleep as much as possible.
• The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence.
Tapping on the Power icon under Start, Settings, System tab displays a
dialog box that provides detailed information about the battery status of the
main and backup batteries installed in your unit.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state
but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This
should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a
week—for long-term storage, the battery should be removed from the unit.
3.9.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
• Lithium Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0° C and 20° C.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO With Windows Mobile 2003 SE User Manual 39
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Uploading Data In A Docking Station
• Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries
can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an
empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage
drops below a lower limit.
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60%
every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.
• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have
limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries
as perishable goods.
3.10 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed
in your WORKABOUT PRO before performing data uploads.
The desktop docking station and quad docking station allow the WORKABOUT
PRO to link to an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction
data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
Note: Refer to “Chargers And Docking Stations” on page 281 for more details.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected
PC or server. An optional 10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP
connections to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When a WORKABOUT PRO is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon
is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the
presence of the Ethernet network.
3.11 Bluetooth Radio
Note: Integrated Bluetooth class II radios are standard on WORKABOUT
PRO C and S units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11b on a single unit.
The WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of
radio enables short range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also
provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem,
exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access.
Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on page 175 for setup details.

3.12 The SD/MMC Card—Adding Memory
To add additional non-volatile memory to your hand-held, you can insert a Secure
Digital/Multi-Media Card (SD/MMC) through the battery compartment.

• Remove the battery cover and the battery.
A hinged door at the top of the battery compartment protects the connectors.

• Orient the SD/MMC card according to the legend stamped into the battery
well plastic.
• Place the card in the slot with the card contacts down, and slide it inward
until it latches into place.
• Swing the hinged door back into place.
To remove the card:
• Gently press it inward slightly until the detent unlatches, and the card is
expelled from the slot.

General Maintenance
3.13 General Maintenance
3.13.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh
chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the
touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating.
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable
screen protector (WA6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly
but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become
scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
3.13.2 Cleaning The WORKABOUT PRO
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild
detergent to wipe the unit clean.
•Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The
plastic case is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble
in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in
strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl
alcohol.
