The WORKABOUT PRO C G2 and WORKABOUT PRO S G2 can be powered with one of the following lithium-in battery packs:• High-Capacity Battery Pack – 3000mAh• Super High-Capacity Battery Pack – 4000mAh2.1.1.1 Charging The Main BatteryImportant: Before opening the battery cover on your WORKABOUT PRO G2, press [BLUE] [ENTER] to turn off the hand-held. When the battery cover is removed, a power-off switch is automatically acti-vated and the unit power is switched off; if the battery cover is opened while the hand-held is still powered on, the unit may reboot.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 along with a WORKABOUT PRO G2 internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in Chapter 6: Peripheral Devices & Accessories beginning on page 213.Note: If you are powering up a new unit, a warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the backup battery capacity is low. To recharge the internal battery, you must fully charge the WORKABOUT PRO G2 with the main battery installed in the unit. An overnight charge is recom-mended.](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/7527BHC.Guide/User-Guide-884072-Page-19.png)
![Chapter 2: Basic CheckoutThe Backup Battery12 WORKABOUT PRO G2 Hand-Held With Windows Embedded CE 5.0 User Manual2.1.2 The Backup BatteryTo preserve data stored in your WORKABOUT PRO G2 while you swap the main battery, the unit is equipped with an internal backup battery–a standard Lithium Alloy Manganese Dioxide coin battery–a Maxell ML2032. The backup battery will supply 5 minutes of continuous power while you install a charged, main battery.The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery. Provided that the main battery contains power, the backup battery will maintain a charge whether the WORKABOUT PRO G2 is switched on or off, in a docking station or in a cradle. Even when the main battery reaches its Suspend Threshold (refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 102) and the hand-held shuts down, the backup battery will continue to draw a trickle charge from the main battery to protect the data stored in the unit until a charged main battery is installed.Note: The backup battery takes approximately 100 hrs to fully charge from a fully discharged (flat) state. While you can continue to use the WORK-ABOUT PRO G2, replacing the main battery while the backup battery is not fully charged is not recommended because you risk losing the data stored on the unit.2.2 Turning The WORKABOUT PRO G2 On And Off2.2.1 Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On• To unlock the battery cover, turn the left-hand battery fastener to the left, and turn the right-hand battery fastener to the right. The top of the stylus is slot-shaped to help you loosen the fasteners.• Remove the battery cover.• Ensure that the ON/OFF switch in the battery compartment is set to ON before inserting the battery.• Snap the charged battery into the unit. Replace the battery cover, and lock the fasteners in place.Note: If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an uncharged battery, dock the unit and switch it on. To switch on the WORKABOUT PRO G2:• Press and hold down the [ENTER/ON] key for at least one second.• When the LED flashes green, release the [ENTER/ON] button.](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/7527BHC.Guide/User-Guide-884072-Page-20.png)

These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:• Desktop Docking Station (Model # WA4003-G2)—operates as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the hand-held and a spare battery can be charged simulta-neously.• Quad Docking Station (Model # WA4004-G1)—can charge the battery of up to four WORKABOUT PROs inserted in the docking station.• Single Battery Charger (Model # WA3001-G1)—charges a single battery.• Quad Battery Charger (Model # WA3004-G1)—charges up to four spare Standard or High-Capacity WORKABOUT PRO battery packs.It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The WORKABOUT PRO intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 49 for additional information about the battery.Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process until the battery temperature is between 0° C to 45 °C (32° F to 113° F).3.3 Switching The Hand-Held On And OffSwitching On The WORKABOUT PRO G2Note: Whenever the battery cover is removed, an auto-shutoff switch is acti-vated.

To switch off the WORKABOUT PRO G2:• Press the [BLUE] key, and then press the [ENTER/ON] key.3.4 The KeyboardThe WORKABOUT PRO G2 is available in two models, each with it’s own keyboard layout. The WORKABOUT PRO C G2 model is equipped with a 52-key, alphanumeric keyboard; the WORKABOUT PRO S G2 model is equipped with a 25-key numeric keyboard.Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above the keyboard keys.3.4.1 Modifier KeysThe [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on a WORKABOUT PRO C G2, 52-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [4] key.

Every key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER/ON] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column labelled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column labelled ‘Function’. If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2).](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/7527BHC.Guide/User-Guide-884072-Page-105.png)

To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 87).When the WORKABOUT PRO G2 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 Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off). When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters suspend state. In suspend state, the WORKABOUT PRO G2 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the WORKABOUT PRO G2 is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately.

By default, this identifier is transmitted if EAN 128 is enabled.GTIN CompliantGTIN (global trade item number) processing transmits EAN 128 as the 14-character EAN/UCC GTIN. To use GTIN processing, you must activate the EAN 128 symbology.Important: When EAN 128 and GTIN processing are both activated, it is not possible to read normal EAN 128 Codes.
