Preparing the Workabout Pro4 for Operation
The Battery
The Workabout Pro4 can be powered by the following Lithium-ion battery pack:

IMPORTANT Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery
safety guidelines in the Workabout Pro4 Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000296).

Draft #6
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).

Follow the instructions below for your Workabout Pro4.
Switching the Workabout Pro4 On
• Press and hold the [Power] button down for at least one second.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the Workabout Pro4 is switched on from the suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds in the screen in
which you were working prior to turning the computer off.
IMPORTANT If your Workabout Pro4 fails to power up, consider the following trouble-
shooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Motorola battery may be
installed, or the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend
Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on
page 4-10 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Workabout Pro4 with a battery that
falls below the configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will
switch on.
Switching the Workabout Pro4 Off
Draft #6
• To switch off the Workabout Pro4, press the [Power] button. The Workabout Pro4 will automatically enter
the Suspend state.
IMPORTANT Turning off the hand-held does not result in a complete shutdown;
rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the
Workabout Pro4 is turned on from suspend state, operation
resumes within a few seconds.
To shut down the unit, press and hold down the [Power] button until
the Power Option screen is displayed where you can choose the
Power off option.

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.
ical that you review and follow the importan t sa fety guid elin es in the
quick reference guide entitled Workabout Pro4 Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide, PN 8000296
