Modifier Keys
3.4.1 Modifier Keys
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys are modifier
keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the ne xt k ey pressed. For
example, a square bracket is printed in orange print abo v e the <4> ke y. Pressing the
<ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the
number 4.
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate like a desktop ke yboard 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.
3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the
taskbar at the bottom of the screen. For example, if the <CTRL> key is pressed
once,
ctrl key is displayed in the taskbar. Once the ne xt key is pressed, the modifier k ey
becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
3.4.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is
displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. F or example, pressing the <BLUE> key
twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the
computer screen.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock
or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase
representation in the taskbar is no longer displayed.
Note: The locking function of the <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys can be dis-
abled so that pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’.
Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 69 for details.
3.4.2 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. Pressing this k ey twice locks it ‘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

3.7 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
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 the y 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 k eep 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 (e ven 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 av oid unnecessary events, and allow
the unit to sleep as much as possible.
• The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar
battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the
battery . It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter
percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged
battery , even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than
nominal.
Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides
detailed information about the battery status and performance.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35
Page 62
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Storing Batteries
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-po wer, 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 – in this case, the battery should be removed.
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 batter ies 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-dischar ge 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 pre vent 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 allo ws 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 in not available.
Note: Refer to “Chargers And Docking Stations” on page 141 for more details.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
36
Page 63
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 optional10/100baseT 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 taskbar at the bottom of the screen. The unit also detects the
presence of the Ethernet network.
3.9 Bluetooth Radio
Note: Integrated Bluetooth class II radios are standard on WORKABOUT
PRO C units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11b on a single unit.
A WORKABOUT PRO C 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. Keep in mind too that a Bluetooth and an 802.11b radio card can
operate simultaneously in your unit. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on
page 84 for setup details.
3.10 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.
3.10.1 Inserting The Card

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:
• mustard,
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated miner 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 the y 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, solv ents 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.
