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. For detailed information, see
“Battery Details” on page 2-3.
Replacing the Battery Pack
IMPORTANT Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switch-
ing the Workabout Pro4 On and Off” on page 1-4). However,
assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve
level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum of
minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this
time frame.
NOTE If you are using a docking station or an external power su pply, you can insert an
uncharged battery and use the device while the battery charges.
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level ha ve not been altered, a battery can
be removed for up to 4 minutes without losing data. Beyond 4 minutes, the hand-held may reboot.
Removing the Battery Pack
• If your unit is equipped with a hand strap, unhook it from the base of the battery.
• Turn the latches at the bottom of the battery to unlock the battery cover. Remove the battery.
Installing the Battery Pack
• Insert the charged battery into the unit making certain that the contacts on the battery match those on the
hand-held. Replace the battery cover and lock both latches to secure the battery in place.
• If your computer is equipped with a hand strap, re-attach the clip to the slot at the base of the battery.
• Switch the unit on (see “Switching the Workabout Pro4 On and Off” on page 1-4).
Switching the Workabout Pro4 On and Off
Follow the instructions below for your Workabout Pro4.

Battery Safety
IMPORTANT Before attempting to install, use, or charge the ba ttery p ack, it is cr it-
Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap
time is a minimum of 4 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 microSD memory card or externally on a USB memory
stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Application” (Flash Disk) partition of the file system.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 4-10 for details about reserving battery
power for data backup purposes.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties t ab allows you to determin e the battery capacity at
which the Workabout Pro4 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 Workabout Pro4 shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be
backed up for a longer period of time.

Folders
Draft #6
Programs 3 - 9
The E-mail program is used to send and receive e-mail on your Workabout Pro4. It also provides access to
text messages.
To send and receive e-mail, you’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)
or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception – Outlook e-mail
accounts are set up by default.
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized
with your Workabout Pro4. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize additional folders. The folders
and messages you move are mirrored on the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between the messages on
the Workabout Pro4 and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next connect, the mail server will
recognize that the messages are missing from the Workabout Pro 4 In bo x fold e r and de let e th em from the
server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind however that you will not have further access to
messages that you moved to folders from anywhere except with the Workabout Pro4.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the server, making
messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from your Workabout Pro4 or your PC.
Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook (PC with Windows XP OS)
IMPORTANT For PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7, follow the guidelines
