Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer Quick Start Guide
1. Basic Preparation
Important: All approval and safety information is outlined in the
‘WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User
Manual’ – part number 8000024. This manual is
available on our web site www.psionteklogix.com
through the Teknet extranet. It is important that you

The WORKABOUT PRO will operate with a standard 1800 mAh
Lithium Ion battery pack, a high-capacity 2700 mAh Lithium-Ion
battery pack or three AA alkaline batteries. If you are using a Lithium Ion battery pack, the battery pack must first be charged.
Warning: Before charging or using the battery pack, it is critical
that the safety information in this section be reviewed
and that all warnings are strictly followed.
BATTERIES ARE CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS
WASTE. For proper disposal, forward all used batteries
to one of:

Warning: TO PREVENT the battery from leaking acid, generating
heat or exploding, adhere to precautions below.
• The battery incorporates built-in safety devices. To ensure
their proper function, do not disassemble or alter any parts
of the battery.
• Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting any of
the exposed terminals with metal objects such as wire. Do not
transport or store the battery together with metal objects such
as necklaces, hair pins, etc.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer Quick Start Guide
• Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source such as a
fire or heater.
• Do not immerse the battery in water.
• When charging, use the battery charger specifically designed
for the battery.
• Do not pierce, strike, throw or step on the battery.
• Do not directly solder the battery.
• Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet, vehicle
cigarette lighter, etc.
• Do not put battery into a microwave oven or pressurized
container.
• Do not use the battery in combination with primary batteries
(such as dry-cell batteries) or batteries of different capacities
or brands.
• Immediately remove the battery from the device or battery
charger and stop use if the battery gives off an odour, generates heat, becomes discoloured or deformed, or in any way
appears abnormal during use.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge
within the specified charge time.
• The battery may burst or ignite if the battery leaks. Always
ensure that it is away from any exposed flames.
• If leaking electrolyte sprays into your eyes, rinse them with
clean running water, and immediately seek medical attention.
• Do not store the battery in extremely high temperatures
(e.g., a vehicle, strong direct sunlight, etc.). This may cause
the battery to overheat or ignite, and it may also reduce the
performance and service life of the battery.
• Do not use in areas where static electricity is greater than
what the manufacturer guarantees.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Backlight Key
The keyboard is equipped with a set of standard keys along with a
 and a  modifier key to provide access to additional keys and system functions. These additional keys are
colour coded in orange and blue print above the standard keys.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer Quick Start Guide
2.3.1 Modifier Keys
The , , ,  and  keys
are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of
the next key pressed. For example, a square bracket is printed
in orange print above the <4> key. Pressing the  key
followed by the <4> key displays a square bracket rather than the
number 4.
The ,  and  keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded – two keys cannot be
held down simultaneously. The modifier key must be pressed first
followed by the key whose function you want modified.
Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed once, the modifier key icon displays the
key in lowercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing 
once displays ctrl key in the taskbar. Once the next key is pressed, the
modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’
modifier key icon displays the key in uppercase letters in the taskbar.
For example, pressing the  key twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
The locked modifier key remains active until it is pressed a third time
to unlock or turn it off.
