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

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 WORK-
ABOUT 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.

Wait for the WORKABOUT PRO to complete its scan (approximately 20 seconds).
When scanning starts, the

– if necessary, you can tap on this button to stop the process. Once scanning is complete, all discovered 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
<Services>
and
<Set PIN>
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
<Services>
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.
Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:
• Highlight the desired service, and then click on <
Activate>
or <
Deactivate>
, 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
80 Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 5: Configuration
The Devices Tab 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
<Set PIN>
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 <
Set Pin>
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

Encryption
WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from accidentally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose ‘Disabled’ from the dropdown encryption menu. Otherwise, leave this field as is.
Authentication
802.11b supports two subtypes of network authentication services:
Open
and
Shared
. Under
Open
authentication, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Under
Shared
authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11b wireless network communications channel.
Network Key:
This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active
WEP key on the access point.

Excessive Charge Duration
The charger is equipped with a recalibration function – a function that fully discharges and then fully recharges the battery. This process is necessary to recalibrate the battery capacity gauge internal to the battery. The charger attempts recalibration when:
• the battery capacity is at less than 30%, and
• the battery has undergone more than 40 partial charge cycles since the last full discharge.
The recalibration function extends the charge time by up to 2 hours.
8.6.4.2
Indicator Flashing Red
If the indicator flashes red:
• Remove all batteries and disconnect the mains power cable.
• Wait at least 20 seconds, and then plug the cable in again.
If any of the charge well LEDs continue to flash red, the charger is defective and requires service. If all indicators are flashing red, there is a power supply problem and the charger requires service.
8.6.4.3
Power LED Does Not Light Up
• Remove all batteries, and unplug the charger.
• Connect another device to the mains outlet to ensure there is power.
• Remove the IEC mains power cable from the charger, and check it for damage.

Quad Docking Station Setup
8.7.1 Quad Docking Station Setup
After unpacking the unit:
• Visually inspect the unit for any damage.
• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
A green indicator in the lower-right corner of the front panel lights up to indicate that power is present.
• Attach a CAT5 RJ45 network patch cable (supplied) between your network and the RJ45 jack on the rear of the dock.
A green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector when a valid network link is established.
A user application must be loaded onto each WORKABOUT PRO that utilizes the quad dock for communication. When the network is connected and this application is loaded, the quad dock is ready for use.
8.7.2 Quad Indicators
The quad dock is equipped with a power indicator LED and RJ45 link and traffic indicator LEDs. When a valid network link is established, a green LED is illuminated next to the RJ45 connector.
8.7.3 Inserting A WORKABOUT In The Quad Docking Station
• Slide the WORKABOUT PRO into the cradle portion of the quad dock until lightly latched.
The hand-held detects that it is in a quad dock and displays the appropriate icon in the taskbar – . The LED on the hand-held unit lights up to show it has external power and may start charging the battery.
Interaction with the WORKABOUT PRO while in the quad dock is a function of the user application software used to communicate with the host network.
8.7.4 Network Access
The quad docking station has one 10/100 Ethernet port. You can insert up to four hand-held units. The hand-helds are connected to an internal USB hub. The handheld unit automatically detects insertion into a quad docking station and loads the appropriate drivers to communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 153
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Network Addressing
8.7.4.1
Network Addressing
Although the USB converters have fixed Ethernet MAC addresses, there is generally no correlation between these addresses and a specific hand-held. The host application uses standard TCP/IP protocol to name, locate and communicate with a specific WORKABOUT PRO on the network.
If a link is established between a WORKABOUT PRO and a host, the application on the host and on the hand-held must have a recovery mechanism in the event that the WORKABOUT PRO is removed from the dock and the link is interrupted.
8.7.5 Battery Charging – LED Behaviour
The quad docking station supplies DC power to enable the WORKABOUT PRO internal fast charger. Charge status is displayed on the hand-held LED – the LED turns red while the battery is being charged and turns green once the charge is complete. If the battery is fully charged when the unit is inserted in the docking station, the LED flashes red for less than a second and then turns green. Battery charging continues whether the WORKABOUT PRO is switched on or off.
It can take up to 5 hours to fully charge the internal battery.
8.7.6 Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking station are installed on the WORKABOUT PRO – no indicators or applications are present on the docking station itself.
8.7.6.1
Network Link Unsuccessful
If a network link fails, the WORKABOUT PRO application alerts the operator that the link was unsuccessful.
8.7.6.2
Hand-Held LED Does Not Light When Docked
• Check that the quad docking station has power – is the Power LED on the docking station illuminated?
• Try inserting the WORKABOUT PRO in another well in the quad dock.
• Check for dirt or contamination on the docking contacts at the bottom of the
WORKABOUT PRO. Wipe the contacts with a damp cloth if necessary.
• Check the pogo pins inside the dock cradle for dirt. Gently wipe with a damp cloth if they appear to be dirty or discoloured.

8.10 The Vehicle Cradle
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
The Vehicle Cradle
Figure 8.18 Unpowered Vehicle Cradle
The vehicle cradle is available in two versions – unpowered (WA1000) and powered
(WA1010). A port replicator option is available for both types of vehicle cradle.
The vehicle cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the WORKABOUT PRO securely even when operated in high vibration environments.
8.10.1 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
Warning: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice,
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 157
contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see
Services And Worldwide Offices ). Note also that for better protec-
tion, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.
To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location.
8.10.1.1
Mounting Template
The vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.
8.10.2 Wiring Guidelines
Before installing cables between the cradle and other devices, review the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
8.10.3 Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
• Slide the WORKABOUT PRO into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the
WORKABOUT PRO to be certain that it is secure.
• To remove the unit, press firmly on the RELEASE button on the front face of the unit until it releases from it latch. The hand-held will be slightly raised so that it can be removed.
8.10.4 Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the WORKABOUT PRO firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for robustness and endurance, they will wear over time and will no longer lock the hand-held securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is required.
8.10.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
Warning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage, ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.
Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require special consideration.
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water or other liquids. This can be accomplished in one of the following ways:
• Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a sealed housing).
• Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material.
• Wrap the connector securely with a waterproof electrical tape in an area out of the vehicle operators reach.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 159
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.
8.10.6 Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
The powered cradle option is designed to allow the WORKABOUT PRO to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the hand-held is also recharged by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources ranging from 10 to
55V, with optional pre-regulator.
The vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed.
Warning: Applying a voltage greater than that specified or reversing or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the cradle power option and will void the product warranty.
8.10.6.1
Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle
A 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your powered vehicle cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum
10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A
(less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch – that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the switch.
Keep in mind that the WORKABOUT PRO will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.
160 Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
The Port Replicator
If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.
8.10.7 The Port Replicator
Figure 8.19 Port Replicator
The port replicator (Model# WA4005) is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to be attached to the vehicle cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle power option.
The functionality of the WORKABOUT PRO tether port is replicated into RS-232 serial interfaces by the port replicator. It provides the user with 3 DB9 serial interfaces as well as one Type B USB port (for connecting a Host device).

Bluetooth Peripherals
8.11 Bluetooth Peripherals
The WORKABOUT PRO C (a unit equipped with a colour display) – comes equipped with a Bluetooth radio, making it is possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on.
Note: Bluetooth is not available for WORKABOUT PRO Ms
The range of the Bluetooth radio is limited to approximately 5 meters.
Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.
• GSM/GPRS universal handset
• Bluetooth printer
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the WORKABOUT PRO includes features to minimize interference, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simultaneously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion
Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates
(such as printers and scanners).
Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. Refer to
“Bluetooth Setup” on page 78 for information about setting up your Bluetooth
devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your
Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the WORK-
ABOUT PRO host.

C.1 USB Setup
The USB Setup application (PN 1000997) is used to update a Windows PC so that it can connect to a Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO.
System Requirements
• Windows® 2000 or XP
• ActiveSync 3.1 or later
The two driver classes that control USB communication are usbstor (for communication with a device running BooSt ) and wceusbsh (for communication through ActiveSync with a device running Windows CE .NET). These drivers must be updated with WORKABOUT PRO-specific information so that the WORK-
ABOUT PRO can be recognized by your PC.
The install program:
• updates copies of the device installation scripts usbstor.inf
and wceusbsh.inf
with Psion Teklogix-specific information,
• sets up a USB connection between the PC and the WORKABOUT PRO, and
• installs the WORKABOUT PRO as a device on your PC. This may require notifying the PC OS that the device should be reinstalled and then reconnecting the USB device.
C.1.1 Launching The Application
The log file is initialized and the program introduction is written to it.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual C-1
Appendix C: USB Setup Application
Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf
C.1.2 Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf
1. Welcome Dialogue Box:
You can click on the <Back> and <Next> buttons to navigate between the pre-install windows. At any time during the pre-installation process, you can tap on <Cancel> to exit the program.
• Shut down all other software programs – especially ActiveSync – to avoid a restart request during installation.
• Tap on the <Next> button.
The program checks that ActiveSync is installed and that it is a supported version – 3.1 or later. If the version installed on your PC is not supported, you’ll need to exit the USB Setup application, and install a later version of
ActiveSync.
2. Device Driver INF File Selection Dialogue Box:
This dialogue box allows you to choose the paths of the appropriate inf files. Default file paths are provided in this dialogue box.
C-2 Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Appendix C: USB Setup Application
Pre-Installation: Updating usbstor.inf And wceusbsh.inf
• If necessary, tap on the <Browse> buttons to select different paths for the inf files.
3. Device Driver Install Selection Dialogue Box:
You can choose to have the device drivers installed immediately by selecting the check box (
√
), or you can leave the check box blank and
Windows will install the WORKABOUT PRO the next time it is connected. It is recommended that the device be installed immediately.
• Select the drivers you want to update – wceusbsh and usbstor .
• Tap on the <Next> button.
Note: None of the drivers are updated by default. To complete the process, you must establish USB connections.
4. Device Driver Backup Selection Dialogue Box:
The USB Setup application will attempt to back up the driver .sys
files before attempting the installation. It specifies which files it will try to back up and the location to which it will back them up.
Note: Both drivers are selected for backup by default. The backup directory is
<system directory>\drivers\ptxBackup.

Installation: WORKABOUT PRO As A Device On Your PC
C.1.3 Installation: WORKABOUT PRO As A Device On Your PC
1. Install Dialogue Box:
The .sys
files you selected are copied to the backup directory. If an unknown error occurs during the backup, you are asked whether you’d prefer to cancel the install or continue with the process. The wceusbsh.inf
and usbstor.inf
files are updated.
2. If you indicated that the wceusbsh driver should be installed, the
Install dialogue box appears again. The USB Setup application will attempt to install the drivers immediately. This will succeed only if a valid USB connection to the device that is running Windows CE .NET exists.
• If the install fails due to an unknown error, the install for this particular driver is aborted.
• If the install fails because there was an inappropriate USB connection, there are two possibilities:
• An appropriate USB connection was never established between the PC and the WORKABOUT PRO running Windows CE .NET. In this case, when an appropriate USB connection with this device exists, Windows will automatically attempt to install the device driver.
• An appropriate USB connection exists between the PC and the WORK-
ABOUT PRO running Windows CE .NET, but it has since been severed.
Windows may or may not attempt to automatically install the device drivers on the next appropriate USB connection.
• A window is displayed where you can tap on <Cancel> to abort the wceusbsh driver installation and continue. It also contains instructions to boot your device into Windows CE .NET and establish a USB connection between the device and the PC. When you create the appropriate connection, Windows automatically installs the device drivers. The ‘Found New
Hardware’ wizard may appear. Your only interaction with this window is to click on the <Finish> button.
• If this is the first appropriate connect between the device and the PC – i.e., there was no previous devnode for the device in the system – the
<Continue> button is activated as soon as the connection is made. Where there was a devnode present in the system and it has been marked for reinstall, the <Continue> button will not become active until Windows has
C-4 Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Appendix C: USB Setup Application
Post Installation completed the driver installation and the device is no longer marked for reinstall. Only one devnode per device can be ‘unset’ when the device drivers are finally installed.
3. If you indicated that the usbstor driver should be installed, the same steps as described above are carried out for usbstor except that the
WORKABOUT PRO must be running BooSt. (Press and hold down the <SCAN> <BLUE> <ENTER> keys for a minimum of 6 seconds to launch the BooSt program.) Keep in mind that a device running BooSt has a different hardware ID than when it is running Windows CE .NET.
C.1.4 Post Installation
1. Done Dialogue Box:
This dialogue box indicates the success or failure of the installation.
• To view the log file, tap on the <Log File> button
• To exit the program, tap on the <Exit> button.
