Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guidelines in the
“WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer Warranty & Regulatory Guide”, PN 8000126.

for Operation
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking stations along with a WORKABOUT PRO
a suitable power source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in
Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on page 169.
Note: 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 internal battery,
you must fully charge the WORKABOUT PRO
unit.
2.1.2 The Backup Battery
To preserve data stored in your WORKABOUT PRO3 while you swap the main battery, the
unit is equipped with a backup battery–a replaceable, rechargeable Lithium-Ion backup
battery that can be ordered through Psion Teklogix. The backup battery will supply 5
minutes of continuous power while you install a charged, main battery.
The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery. Provided that the main battery
contains power, the backup battery will maintain a charge whether the WORKABOUT

reaches its Suspend Threshold (refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 112) and the handheld shuts down, the backup battery will continue to draw a trickle charge from the main
battery to protect the data stored in the unit until a charged main battery is installed.

charged (flat) state, generally the same amount of time it takes to fully charge the
main battery. While you can continue to use the WORKABOUT PRO

2.2 Turning the WORKABOUT PRO3 On and Off
2.2.1 Installing the Battery and Switching the Unit On
Important: Press and hold down the Power button until the ‘Shutdown’ screen is dis-
played. Choose ‘Suspend’ and tap on OK before removing the battery.

• Ensure that the ON/OFF switch in the battery compartment is set to ON before inserting
the battery.
• Snap the charged battery into the unit. Replace the battery cover, and lock the fasteners
in place.

Switching the Unit Off (Suspend & Standby)
Choosing Suspend places the hand-held into a power-saving suspend state. In this state, all
radios remain on, but the display, keyboard backlight and processor are switched off. When
the WORKABOUT PRO
3
is turned on from this state, operation resumes within a few
seconds in the screen in which you were working prior to suspend.
If you choose Standby, the display is turned off, the keyboard is locked and the touchscreen
is locked. The processor remains on so that any running applications will continue while the
hand-held is in a Standby state. In addition, the radios remain on. Keep in mind that because
the processor continues to run, Standby mode consumes more power than Suspend mode.
2.3 Calibrating the Touchscreen
Note: Keep in mind that the touchscreen function can be turned off (see “Touch” on
page 117).
The WORKABOUT PRO3 touchscreen is factory-calibrated and ready-to-go; however,
over time the touchscreen operating parameters may change and may need to be recalibrated
for correct operation. Refer to “Calibration” on page 116 for details.

2.4 Configuring the 802.11a/b/g RA2043 Compact Flash Radio
Once the RA2043 802.11a/b/g compact flash radio is installed in the WORKABOUT PRO3,
you’ll need to take a few steps to configure the radio. While most common settings are configured as defaults, there are some fields that must be completed including the SSID of your
access point and the security methods implemented in the network (including access keys).
Note: In most cases, the configuration of your 802.11 radio will require parameters, set-
tings and access keys from a network administrator.
Network administrators should review the detailed security information in this sec-
tion in order to effectively configure the 802.11 wireless network.
• Tap on the Start button in the taskbar, and then tap on Settings>Network and Dial-up
Connections, or
Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar.
