3.7 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Under normal operating conditions, fully charged Standard Batteries hold a charge
for up to 8 hours. High-Capacity batteries can hold a charge for up to 12 hours.
As Lithium Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are
generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of
original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating
the unit at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.
Lithium Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the WORKABOUT
PRO battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain
peak performance.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
•
•
•
The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its
brightness as low as possible.
The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it
reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery
power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.
Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow
the unit to sleep as much as possible.
The battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar
battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the
battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter
percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged
battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than
nominal.
Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides
detailed information about the battery status and performance.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
35
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Storing Batteries
•
When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state
but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This
should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a
week – in this case, the battery should be removed.
3.7.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
•
•
•
•
•
Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
Lithium Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C.
Always charge batteries to at least 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries
can be damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an
empty battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage
drops below a lower limit.
To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60%
every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.
A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have
limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries
as perishable goods.
3.8 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
Important:
Review the documentation provided with the user application
installed in your WORKABOUT PRO before performing data
uploads.
The desktop docking station and quad docking station allows the WORKABOUT
PRO to link to an Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction
data to a server computer when a radio link in not available.
Note: Refer to “Chargers And Docking Stations” on page 141 for more details.
36
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO
Bluetooth Radio
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected
PC or server. An optional10/100baseT Ethernet module is also available.
Unlike the desktop docking station, the quad docking station supports only TCP/IP
connections to a PC or server through a 10/100baseT Ethernet connection.
When a WORKABOUT PRO is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon
is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. The unit also detects the
presence of the Ethernet network.
3.9 Bluetooth Radio
Note: Integrated Bluetooth class II radios are standard on WORKABOUT
PRO C units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simultaneously with WAN and 802.11b on a single unit.
A WORKABOUT PRO C is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type
of radio enables short range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth
also provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data
modem, exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices and providing
network access. Keep in mind too that a Bluetooth and an 802.11b radio card can
operate simultaneously in your unit. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on
page 84 for setup details.

General Maintenance
3.11 General Maintenance
3.11.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The top of the touchscreen is a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a
conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by
harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects
on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive
coating.
The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
•
•
•
•
•
mustard,
sodium hydroxide,
concentrated caustic solutions,
benzyl alcohol, and
concentrated miner acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable
screen protector (WA6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly
but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become
scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
3.11.2 Cleaning The WORKABOUT PRO
Important:
•
•
•
Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild
detergent to wipe the unit clean.
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The
plastic case is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble
in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in
strong alkaline solutions.
To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl
alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE .NET And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE .NET And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE .NET for portable devices or desktop
Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. On the WORKABOUT PRO, this is accomplished using a touchscreen and stylus rather than
a mouse. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and
click’ action.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may
need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 30.
A touchscreen is a standard feature on all WORKABOUT PROs. Each is equipped
with a stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the
unit. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
•
Tap the stylus on the appropriate icon to open a file or launch an applet.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If the touchscreen on your unit is disabled, choosing icons and navigating dialogue
boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on will require keyboard input.

Important:
If a WORKABOUT PRO is using battery power, Psion Teklogix
recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 minutes. Setting
‘Switch State To Suspend’ to values greater than 10 or setting the

When the WORKABOUT PRO is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a
scan, and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an
application, and so on), the hand-held uses the value assigned in the Switch State To
Suspend field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).
When the time in the Suspend field elapses without any activity, the unit enters Suspend
state. In Suspend state, the WORKABOUT PRO CPU enters a sleep state, and any

devices will be displayed in the list box, with Name, Address, Active status, and
PIN information.
Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by
names. Therefore, only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth
radio coverage range will be retrieved.
The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When
a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected
during the scan.
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once
you highlight a device in the list box, both the and buttons
become available.
Services
A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to
communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles
that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial
service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is
another available profile.
•
To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then
click on the button or double-click on the device entry.
Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable amount of time for the Services dialogue box to appear – it may
appear to be frozen.

•
Highlight the desired service, and then click on or , as
required.
Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will
appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or
COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but

older applications assume serial ports are COM. When using COM as the port name,
the Bluetooth manager will try to find and use a free port between COM7 and
COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for use. The
port is available as soon as it is activated.
Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service IF the
service is RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed
except for debugging purposes.
The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation.
To change those after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options.
Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the
RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may
change their RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting
may not work when the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate
the service and reactivate it to detect the current RFCOMM channel.)
Set PIN
PINs can be set for each device by pressing the button in the Devices tab, or
you can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.
Important:
•
The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise
the PIN authentication will fail.
Highlight a device, click on the button, and type the PIN.
You will receive a message, either that the PIN has been successfully validated or
that it has been rejected.
If the PIN has been validated, an asterisk (*) appears in the PIN column in the
