The Batteries

3.2 The Batteries

The hand-held operates with a Lithium-Ion battery pack. Preparing the unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the WORKABOUT PRO.
Three levels of battery packs are available for the WORKABOUT PRO:
High-Capacity – Model No. WA3006, and
Super High-Capacity – Model No. WA3010

3.2.1 Battery Safety

Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is
critical in the quick reference guide entitled ‘WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide’, PN 8000126.

3.2.2 Removing The Battery Pack

that you review and follow the important safety guidelines
Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to
remove the battery. When the cover is removed, a power-off switch is automatically activated and the unit power is switched off; if the battery cover is opened while the hand-held is still powered on, the unit may reboot. Any active sessions may be lost.
Keep in mind also that while the battery is being installed, the WORKABOUT PRO backup battery will save the current data for up to 5 minutes.
Refer to “Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On” on page 13.

3.2.3 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.
WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 6 Classic & Professional User Manual 35
Page 54
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Safely Swapping The Main Battery
The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the hand-held will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
(Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 125 for details about reserving battery power for data backup purposes.)
3.2.3.1 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 Start>Settings>System tab and then tap on the Power icon.
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 cover is opened while the hand-held is still powered on, the unit may reboot.
. If the battery

3.2.4 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.

3.2.4.1 Chargers And Docking Stations
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking
stations, refer to Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories beginning on page 265.
Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
AC wall adaptor (Model # PS1050-G1) – operates as an AC power source and when plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
Desktop Docking Station (Model # WA4003-G2) – 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.
Quad Docking Station – (Model # WA4204-G2 for WORKABOUT PRO C & Model # WA4304-G2 for WORKABOUT PRO S) can charge the battery of up to four WORKABOUT PROs inserted in the docking station.
Single Battery Charger (Model # WA3001-G1) – charges a single battery.
Quad Battery Charger (Model # WA3004-G1) – charges up to four spare High-Capacity or Super High-Capacity WORKABOUT PRO battery packs.
It can take up to 4 hours to charge a battery. The WORKABOUT PRO 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 46
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).

To switch off the WORKABOUT PRO:
Press the [FN/BLUE] key, and then press the [ENTER] key.

3.4 The Keyboards

3.4.1 The WORKABOUT PRO Keyboard

The WORKABOUT PRO is available in two models, each with it’s own keyboard layout. The WORKABOUT PRO C model is equipped with a 52-key, alphanumeric keyboard. The WORKABOUT PRO S model is equipped with a 25-key numeric keyboard.
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.
The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys.
38 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows Mobile 6 Classic & Professional User Manual
Page 57
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Modifier Keys
Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.

3.4.2 Modifier Keys

The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a WORKABOUT PRO C, 52-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [4] key. Pressing the [FN/ORANGE] key followed by the [4] key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
3.4.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys & The Shift-State Indicator
When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon.
Tap on Start>Settings followed by the Buttons icon.
Tap on the One Shots tab at the bottom of the screen.
Tap in the check box next to Show modifier key state to display the shift-state indicator icon.

3.4.2.2 Locking Modifier Keys
Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for
example, pressing a modifier key once will lock the key ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 91 for details. Note too that by default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once.
When a modifier key is locked ‘on’, it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock or turn it off.
To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shift-state indicator icon with a black frame around it.
Figure 3.5 Shift-State Indicator Icon – Locked Modifier Key
Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon.

3.4.3 The Keys

The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.
If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off.
The Arrow Keys
The grey Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard, directly below the [SCAN] bar. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.

The WORKABOUT PRO S – Accessing Alpha Keys
The Macro Keys[M1] to [M3] (WORKABOUT PRO C Only)
Macro keys [M1] to [M3] contain up to 20 programmable characters (“positions”) and executable keys. These keys are accessed by pressing [FN/ORANGE] followed by alpha keys [O], [P] or [Q]. When pressed, the macro key executes a custom-defined string of characters, including executable keys.
3.4.4 The WORKABOUT PRO S – Accessing Alpha Keys
Because the WORKABOUT PRO S provides a numeric keypad, you’ll need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters on this type of keyboard.
3.4.4.1 Choosing A Single Alpha Character
The examples below 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 softkey bar, providing a
visual indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen.
To choose the letter a:
Press the [FN/ORANGE] key, and press the numeric key [2].
Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a
numeric key, you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [FN/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 [FN/ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 91 for details.
To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b:
Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. A shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar represents 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:
Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.
Press numeric key [2] three times to display the letter c.

Indicators

3.6 Indicators

The WORKABOUT PRO uses an LED (Light Emitting Diode), onscreen messages and audio tones to indicate the various conditions of the hand-held, the batteries, the scans and so on.

3.6.1 The LED

A single, two-coloured LED is located on the upper-right side of the keyboard, just above the [ENTER] key. When you press [ENTER], the LED flashes green to indicate that the unit has been powered up. The LED table following outlines the behaviour of the LED while the unit is docked in a charger.
Keep in mind that the application running on the WORKABOUT PRO can dictate how the LED operates. Review the documentation provided with your application to determine LED behaviour.
If the unit is attached to an external power supply, the hand-held LED reflects the battery charge status.
LED Behaviour Charge Status
Solid Green Charge complete.
Fast Blinking Green
Slow Blinking Green Battery charged to greater than 80% of capacity.
Solid Red Temperature outside charge range (0° C to 50° C).
Blinking Red Battery is not charging. Battery fault.

Table 3.1 WORKABOUT PRO LED BEHAVIOUR

3.6.2 Audio Indicators

The audio speaker provides a variety of sounds when a key is pressed, a keyboard character is rejected, scan input is accepted or rejected, an operator’s entry does not match in a match field or the battery is low. To specify how you want your WORKABOUT PRO to respond under various conditions, refer to “Sound & Notifications” on page 106.
The volume can be adjusted using the [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW]. The increase volume key is labelled with a plus symbol and the decrease volume key is labelled with a minus symbol.

Lock the [FN/BLUE] key ‘on’ and then, press [UP ARROW]—the increase volume key or [DOWN ARROW]—the decrease volume key until the volume meets your requirements.
When you’re done, you will need to unlock (turn ‘off’) the [FN/BLUE] key. Press [FN/BLUE] again to unlock the key.

3.7 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.
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.

Keep in mind also that some components and settings can affect the battery life while in suspend state. For example, if the GSM module power mode is set to Always On, the battery life in suspend state is reduced.

3.7.1 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.

3.8 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 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 271 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.

Bluetooth Radio

3.9 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 211 for setup details.

3.9.1 Pairing A Bluetooth Headset Or Other Bluetooth Devices

Before pairing a headset or any other Bluetooth device with your unit, make certain that the Bluetooth device power is enabled; it is enabled by default. If, for some reason, it has been disabled:
Tap on Start>Settings>System tab and then, tap on the Power icon to display the Power dialog box.
Tap on the Built-in Devices tab, and tap in the checkbox next to Enable Bluetooth.
Next you need to make your WORKABOUT PRO visible to other Bluetooth devices; this option is set to off by default.
Tap on Start>Settings>Connections tab>Bluetooth icon.
Tap on the Mode tab, and check both Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices. Tap OK.
Follow the headset manufacturer’s instructions to place the headset in pairing mode. Some headsets will automatically initiate the pairing to the hand-held, and you will be prompted to pair with the headset.
If your headset does not initiate pairing automatically, carry out these steps:
Tap on Start>Settings>Connections tab>Bluetooth icon.
•In the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Wait for the WORKABOUT PRO to scan for devices.
Choose the headset device from the list and tap on Next.
The WORKABOUT PRO then prompts you to provide a passcode.
Type the passcode (or PIN – Personal Identification Number), and then tap on Next.

Inserting The SD/MMC Card And SIM Card
The hand-held unit then displays a services list with the Hands Free service type checked.
•With Hands Free checked (enabled), tap Finish. The headset is now paired.

3.10 Inserting The SD/MMC Card And SIM Card

There are two card slots available in the battery compartment of the hand-held – the lower slot is provided for a SD/MMC (Secure Digital/Multi-Media Card) and the upper slot is for a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card.
SD/MMC cards provide additional non-volatile memory to your hand-held. SIM cards provide access to the hand-held’s voice option, the Internet, and so on.

3.10.1 Inserting The Card

Switch off the WORKABOUT PRO.
Remove the battery cover and the battery.
A hinged door at the top of the battery compartment protects the connectors. It is hinged on the left side.
Pull the hinged SD door down as the arrow icon on the door indicates.
Orient the SD/MMC or SIM card according to the legend stamped into the battery well plastic.
For SD/MMC cards, slide the card into the lower slot, pushing it inward until it latches into place.
For a SIM card, slide the card into the upper slot, pushing it inward until it latches into place.
Swing the hinged door back into place, and gently snap it shut.
To remove the card:
Gently press the card inward until it unlatches, and the card is expelled from the slot.

General Maintenance

3.11 General Maintenance

3.11.1 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 (WA6111-G2). 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.

3.11.2 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 or touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Navigating In Windows Mobile 6 And Applications

4.1 Navigating In Windows Mobile 6 And Applications

Graphic user interfaces like Windows Mobile 6 for portable devices or desktop Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. On the WORKABOUT PRO, this is accomplished using a touchscreen and stylus rather than a mouse.

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may
need recalibration. Refer to “Aligning (Calibrating) The Touchscreen” on page 44.
