Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

2002/96/EC

This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the Waste Electri­cal and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC. If your end-of-life

Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC

What is RoHS?

The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the
design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce
hazardous substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous
Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cad-

mium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that
may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these high environmental
standards may be “placed on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.

RoHS Logo

Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion
Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in
the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking
station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other
than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying
RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is
thereby exempt from the directive.

Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical

space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

Disclaimer

Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-to­date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein; these
changes will be incorporated into new editions of the publication.

Psion Teklogix Inc. reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes in the
product(s) and/or the program(s) described in this document without notice, and
shall not be responsible for any damages, including but not limited to consequential
damages, caused by reliance on the material presented, including but not limited to

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 approximately 5 minutes—you will not lose data
if the battery is replaced within this time frame.

To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a SD/MMC memory card or

externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.

To protect against data loss, the unit will automatically shut down with enough
reserve in the main battery to last up to 99 hours, the default setting. (Refer to
“Suspend Threshold” on page 137 for details about reserving battery power for data
backup purposes.) Even when the hand-held shuts down, the backup battery
continues to draw a trickle charge from the main battery to maintain the data stored
in the unit until a new battery can be installed.

3.3.3.1 Safely Swapping The Main Battery

There are a few steps you need to take to ensure that no data is lost during a battery
swap. First, you need to make certain that the backup battery is holding at least 80%
of its charge capacity. This information is displayed in the Battery tab.

• Tap on Settings and then on the Power icon. Tap on System>Battery
and check the Backup battery gas gauge to determine the battery charge
remaining.

If the backup battery charge capacity is less than 80%:

• Insert the WORKABOUT PRO in a docking station or cradle to top up the
power supply before removing the main battery from the unit.

Important: Before opening the battery cover on your WORKABOUT PRO to

remove the battery, you must turn off the hand-held

3.8 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.

WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 5.0 User Manual 39

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO

Storing Batteries

• 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.

3.8.1 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.

• 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.

3.9 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 305 for more details.

40 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 5.0 User Manual

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO

Bluetooth Radio

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.

3.10 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 802.11g 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 223 for setup details.

3.11 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.

3.11.1 Inserting The Card

• Switch off the WORKABOUT PRO.

• Remove the battery cover and the battery.

3.12 General Maintenance

3.12.1 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:

42 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 5.0 User Manual

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO

Cleaning The WORKABOUT PRO

• 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

scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.

3.12.2 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.
