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 Psion Teklogix product or

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, cadmium, 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-to-date. In additio n,
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 typographical errors.

2.2.1 Scanner Variants
Chapter 2: Hardware
Overview
The WORKABOUT PRO comes standard with no scanner. Consult the specifications for the
scanners that are available for each WORKABOUT PRO variant.
The scanners and their housings fasten to the underside of the WORKABOUT PRO, replacing the
backplate. The scanner connects through a flex cable to the scanner connector on the
WORKABOUT PRO main logic board. The scanner may be installed by the end user; for instructions see Psion T eklogix WA9000, W A9005, & WA9006 Scanner Module Installation (Part number
8000030).
Only one internal scanner can be installed in a WORKABOUT PRO. The internal scanner can be
triggered from the trigger switch on the WORKABOUT PRO handgrip (if present), from one of
the [SCAN] buttons on the WORKABOUT PRO keyboard, or from an assigned keyboard key.
2.2.2 Expansion Card V ariants
See the specifications for the WORKABOUT PRO variants for information on the expansion card
slots that are available. Additional card slots can be installed by connecting to the internal 100-pin
connector. Some card slots are accessed by removing the endcap.
2.3 WORKABOUT PRO C, S, M, ME
See Figure 2.1 on page 12.
2.3.1 Main Processor
The WORKABOUT PRO is built around a 400 MHz Marvell X-Scale PXA255 processor. This
processor can run binaries compiled for the ARMv4 and ARMv4i target processor.
