2.1
Preparing the WORKABOUT PRO3 for Operation
2.1.1
The Main Battery
Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guidelines in the
““WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer Warranty & Regulatory Guide””, PN 8000126.
The WORKABOUT PRO3 C and WORKABOUT PRO3 S can be powered with one of the
following lithium-ion battery packs:
••
••
High-Capacity –– Model No. WA3006, and
Super High-Capacity –– Model No. WA3010
2.1.1.1 Charging the Main Battery
Important: Before opening the battery cover on your WORKABOUT PRO3, press the
Power button to turn off the hand-held.
Important: Before replacing a battery, please read ““Removing the Battery Pack”” on
page 38 and ““Safely Swapping the Main Battery”” on page 38.
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 PRO3 internal charger. When using the internal charger,
a suitable power source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in
Chapter 7: ““Peripheral Devices & Accessories”” beginning on page 245 for details.
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 PRO3 with the main battery installed in the
unit.
2.1.2
The Backup Battery
To preserve data stored in your WORKABOUT PRO3 while you swap the main battery, the
unit is equipped with an internal backup battery––a replaceable, rechargeable Lithium-Ion
backup battery that can be ordered through Psion Teklogix. 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
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual

Chapter 2: Basic Checkout
Turning the WORKABOUT PRO3 On and Off
PRO3 is switched on or off, in a docking station or a cradle. Even when the main battery
reaches its Suspend Threshold (refer to ““Suspend Threshold”” on page 167) and the handheld 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 3 to 4 hours to fully charge from a fully discharged (flat) state, generally the same amount of time it takes to fully charge the
main battery. While you can continue to use the WORKABOUT PRO3, 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.
2.1.2.1 Backup Battery Gas Gauge
To safely replace the main battery and preserve the data stored in the WORKABOUT PRO3,
the backup battery should contain a minimum of 80% of its charge capacity. The Battery tab
in the Power applet displays a gas gauge to indicate the charge remaining in the backup
battery from 0 to 100%. To check the backup battery capacity:
•• Tap on Start>Settings and then tap on System tab.
•• Tap on the Power icon.
For more details about replacing batteries, refer to““Removing the Battery Pack”” on page 38
and ““Battery Swap Time”” on page 38.
2.2
Turning the WORKABOUT PRO3 On and Off
2.2.1

Power button to turn off the hand-held.
••
••
••
••

To unlock the battery cover, turn the left-hand battery fastener to the left, and turn the
right-hand battery fastener to the right. You can either use your fingers or the top of your
stylus to turn the fasteners. (For details about how to lock and unlock the optional safety
battery cover, refer to ““Secure Battery Cover”” on page 259.)
Remove the battery cover.
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch in the battery compartment is set to ON before inserting
the battery.

Removing the Battery Pack
3.2.2
Removing the Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to remove the
battery. When the cover is removed, a power-off switch is automatically activated 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. Any active sessions
may be lost.
Keep in mind also that while the battery is being installed, the WORKABOUT PRO3 backup battery will save the current data for up to 5 minutes.
Refer to ““Installing the Battery and Switching the Unit On”” on page 12.
3.2.3
Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is approximately 5 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 SD/MMC memory card or externally to
the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.
The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the
hand-held 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 Back Time, the hand-held shuts off with more energy left in
the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
(Refer to ““Suspend Threshold”” on page 167 for details about reserving battery power for
data backup purposes.)
3.2.3.1 Safely Swapping the Main Battery
There are a few steps you need to take to ensure that no data is lost during a battery swap.
First, you need to make certain that the backup battery is holding at least 80% of its charge
capacity. This information is displayed in the Battery tab.
•• Tap on Start>Settings>System tab and then tap on the Power icon.
Check the Backup battery gas gauge to determine the battery charge remaining.
If the backup battery charge capacity is less than 80%:

Charging the Battery
Important: Before opening the battery cover on your WORKABOUT PRO3 to remove
the battery, you must turn press the Power button to turn off the hand-held.
3.2.4
Charging the Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
Keep in mind also that, along with the main battery, the WORKABOUT PRO3 is equipped
with an internal, backup battery that preserves data stored on the unit while the main battery
is swapped.
Important: The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery. To maximize
battery life, avoid excessive discharging and recharging of the backup battery
by keeping the main battery fully charged.
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 backup battery, you must fully charge the WORKABOUT PRO3
with the main battery installed in the unit.
3.2.4.1 Chargers and Docking Stations
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Chapter 7: ““Peripheral Devices & Accessories””.
Lithium-Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
••
••
••
••
••
AC wall adaptor (Model # PS1050-G1) –– operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
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 simultaneously.
Quad Docking Station –– (Model # WA4204-G2 for WORKABOUT PRO3 C & Model
# WA4304-G2 for WORKABOUT PRO3 S) can charge the battery of up to four
WORKABOUT PRO3s 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 High-Capacity
or Super High-Capacity WORKABOUT PRO3 battery packs.

Switching the Hand-Held On and Off
It can take up to 4 hours to charge a battery. The WORKABOUT PRO3 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 50 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).

The Keyboards
3.4.1
The WORKABOUT PRO3 Keyboard
This hand-held computer is available in two models, C and S. The WORKABOUT PRO3 C
model is available with an alphanumeric keyboard; the WORKABOUT PRO3 S model is
available with either a QWERTY or 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 WORKABOUT PRO3 is equipped with a Power button that allows you to switch the
unit on and to shut down the unit to Suspend or Standby mode. For details about the Power
button, refer to ““Turning the WORKABOUT PRO3 On and Off”” on page 12.
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.
Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.
3.4.2
Modifier Keys
The [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 PRO3 C, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [G] key.
Pressing the [FN/ORANGE] key followed by the [G] key displays a square bracket rather
than the letter G.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
3.4.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys & the Shift-State Indicator
When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the
softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active. If the shift-state indicator icon is not visible (you can only see the soft
keyboard icon), you may need to take a few steps to display the shift-state indicator icon.

Monitoring the Battery and Maximizing Run Time
Note: When the main battery is at 50% capacity, a ‘‘low battery’’ warning is displayed.
When the battery is at approximately 10% capacity, a ‘‘very low main battery’’ notification bubble appears.
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 PRO3
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.
Tapping on the Power icon under Start>Settings>System tab displays a dialog box that provides detailed information about the battery status of the main and backup batteries installed
in your unit.

WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
Chapter 3: Get To Know WORKABOUT PRO3
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——for long-term storage, the battery
should be removed from the unit.
Keep in mind also that some components and settings can affect the battery life while in
suspend state. For example, if the GSM module power mode is set to Always On, the battery
life in suspend state is reduced.
3.8.1
Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
••
••
••
••
••
3.9
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.
Uploading Data in a Docking Station
Important: Review the documentation provided with the user application installed in
your WORKABOUT PRO3 before performing data uploads.
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
Note: Refer to ““Chargers And Docking Stations”” on page 261 for more details.
The desktop docking station can complete batch uploads to a Client USB connected PC or
server. An optional 10/100baseT 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.

General Maintenance
3.12.1 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:
•• sodium hydroxide,
•• concentrated caustic solutions,
•• benzyl alcohol, and
•• concentrated acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (WA6111-G2). 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.
3.12.2 Cleaning the WORKABOUT PRO3
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 or touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Messaging
The Messaging program is used to send and receive e-mail on your WORKABOUT PRO3.
To send and receive e-mail, you’’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception––
Outlook e-mail accounts are set up by default.
5.14.1 Folders
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your WORKABOUT PRO3. You can use ActiveSync on your PC
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual

Chapter 5: Programs
Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook
to synchronize additional folders. The folders and messages you move are mirrored on
the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between
the messages on the WORKABOUT PRO3 and the copies on the mail server are broken.
When you next connect, the mail server will recognize that the messages are missing from
the WORKABOUT PRO3 Inbox folder and delete them from the server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind however that you will not have further access to messages
that you moved to folders from anywhere except with the hand-held.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the
server, making messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from
your WORKABOUT PRO3 or your PC.
5.14.2 Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook
By synchronizing the WORKABOUT PRO3 Messaging program with Outlook on your PC,
your e-mail is available on both the hand-held and on your PC.
Note: Synchronizing e-mail does not require that the WORKABOUT PRO3 have an independent connection to the Internet.

Scancode Remapping
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. 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] 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

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

Trigger Mappings
6.24.1 Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or
application, the module(s)–– sometimes referred to as ““trigger consumer(s)”” –– of the trigger
source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer
(for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.
Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings——for example [F1]
cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice——even if the trigger
type is different.
A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key
data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used
as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to
applications.
Double-Click
When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between
0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also ““Trigger Press Type”” on page 161.

By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or

with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers.
It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer) ——

Trigger Press Type
You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally,
when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a ““trigger down”” event is sent to
the ““owner”” —— that is, the application receiving the trigger press information——followed by
a ““trigger up””. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released,
and then pressed again, a ““double-click”” event will occur. If a mapping with the Up/down
type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of
trigger events.
Module To Trigger
This identifies the driver or application receiving the trigger presses.

This applet allows you to determine the amount of battery power that you want to reserve in
the main battery to protect the data stored in the WORKABOUT PRO3.
6.27.6.1 Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup
The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that is reserved to protect data
until a charged battery can be installed in the hand-held. When the main battery capacity is
depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold tab,
the hand-held shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored
on the WORKABOUT PRO3. Once the hand-held shuts down, it cannot be switched on
until a fresh battery is installed, or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.
••
Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity
reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.
•• Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for
backup purposes; this increases the hand-held’’s operating time –– the amount of time the
hand-held will operate before shutting down –– but reduces the power reserved for
backup purposes to a minimum of 24 hours.
The backup battery draws a trickle charge from the reserved main battery power to maintain
the data even after the unit power is shut down. It will protect the data stored in the
WORKABOUT PRO while the main battery is swapped for a fully charged one.
Important: Once the main battery is removed, the backup battery will preserve the data
stored on the WORKABOUT PRO3 for approximately 5 minutes. It is critical that you install a charged main battery before this time elapses.

Click
Time (msec)
This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click. If the
time between the first and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of zero disables this
feature.
A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in
the ““Click Data”” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the ““Click Data””, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the ““Dot Time”” parameter and
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual

Chapter 6: Settings
Options Tab
initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for the ““Click Data”” parameter, doubleclicking the scanner trigger inserts the ““Click Data”” value rather than initiating a scan.
Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent
to the application installed in your hand-held following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the
keypress is displayed.
6.33.2.2 Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the
screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible
only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, this information is
cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the
scanner is activated.
Scan Result Time (sec)
The value assigned to the ““Scan Result Time (sec)”” parameter determines how long the scan
results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a
value of ““0”” (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box
appears where you can enter a value.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the ““Result Time”” has expired, point
the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.
Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the hand-held emits an audible scanner ‘‘beep’’
when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.
Soft Scan Timeout
This parameter is used by the SDK ““Scan”” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the
SDK function, instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter
determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.).

Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar code
are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the ““Scan Log File”” is
enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple scans since the log
file is written to persistent storage.

Codepage:
Tapping on this option displays a window in which you can define the code page your
WORKABOUT PRO3 will use.
If you choose Default Local ASCII, the code page of the local OS is used. For example, if
the local OS uses double-byte Chinese characters, choosing this option will filter data
through the local ASCII of that OS and display it accurately, in this example, using doublebyte characters.
If you choose ISO-8859-1 Latin 1, data will be displayed according to the character mapping
of this Latin 1 code page, ignoring the local OS code page.
6.33.3 Translations Tab
The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in

personnel find it necessary to perform a clean start, this will reset not only the registry settings to factory defaults, but will also erase any files or applications stored or
installed on the built-in Flash file system, including any Total Recall profiles. This is
why any data that needs to be protected must be stored on a SD/MMC card or externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.

Bluetooth Setup
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended
for Personal Area Networks (PAN). The technology is based on a short-range radio link that
operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within
range of each other, they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radiobased link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.

When a remote Bluetooth device initiates a Bluetooth connection to the WORKABOUT
PRO3, the remote device is considered the ‘‘Bluetooth master’’ and the hand-held, the ‘‘Bluetooth slave’’. In order for the remote device to connect to the WORKABOUT PRO3, the
WORKABOUT PRO3 must offer a service in the form of a server. The Servers tab allows
these services to be enabled and configured. There are three server services available: Serial,
Scanner and OBEX OPP.
Serial server enables the Serial Port Profile server; a Serial Port can be selected from the
drop-down menu. Keep in mind that when a port is chosen, an application must be open
(connected) to the chosen port for a remote device to be able to connect.
Scanner server enables a Serial Port Profile server and then relays it to the Scanner Service
(SCS). This is used for Bluetooth bar code scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens
the server port and handles the scanner input.
OBEX OPP server enables the Object Push Profile server. A warm reset must be performed
on the WORKABOUT PRO3 after a change is made to this option. The OPP Server allows
other Bluetooth devices to send files to this device.

While it is not usual to shut down the GSM/GPRS user interface, you can accomplish this
by tapping on the File menu and choosing the Exit command in the Wireless WAN screen
screen.
Note: Once you’’ve shut down the user interface, you can only enable the radio by tapping
on the Wireless WAN icon to display the dialog box.

6.44.4 Advanced Information
In most cases, when a GSM/GPRS radio and SIM are installed in your hand-held, setup is
automatic. Follow the steps outlined under the heading ““Establishing A Connection”” on
page 228 to make a connection. The information in this section is for advanced setup
purposes.
6.44.4.1 Entering A PIN
If a PIN is required, a PIN entry dialog box is displayed.
••
Type your PIN, and press [ENTER].
Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is brought to
the foreground. You’’ll need to enter a new PIN number.
Once the correct PIN or PUK is entered or if none was required, the modem is instructed to
perform a GSM network registration followed by a GPRS attach. The main Wireless WAN
dialog box reflects the progress of the initialization.
•• Searching for modem
•• Initializing modem
•• SIM is ready
•• Searching for network
•• Registered on network
•• Searching for packet data
•• Ready to connect
If the modem loses the connection to the GSM network, the following states are repeated:
Searching for network, Registered on network, Searching for packet data and Ready to
connect.
6.44.4.2 Error States
The following temporary error states––states that may disappear without interaction–– may be
displayed:
•• Emergency calls only
The modem has found a network but is not allowed to register (e.g. no roaming agreement
between networks). The modem keeps searching for another network.
•• No network found
A network is not currently available. The modem continues searching for a network.
230
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
Chapter 6: Settings
Tools Menu
•• Packet data not available
The current network does not support packet data.
•• Packet data not allowed
The modem is not allowed to use packet data on the current network (e.g. no packet data
roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be in place).
It is also possible that you do not have a subscription for packet data at all.
The remaining error states are permanent:
•• SIM is missing
The SIM card is missing. After the SIM has been inserted a reset may be required.
•• SIM failure
The SIM card is permanently disabled (e.g. because the wrong PUK has been entered too
many times). A new SIM is needed.
•• Modem failure
The modem did not respond to commands as expected. If a reset does not clear this condition, the modem may need to be replaced.
•• NDIS error
An internal software error has occurred. If a reset does not clear this condition, Psion Teklogix technical support may need to investigate further.
6.44.5 Tools Menu
The Tools menu in the main Wireless WAN dialog box offers some additional advanced
setup features.

6.44.5.1 Data Connection Configuration
Enable Automatic Connect
If the Enable automatic connect checkbox is checked (unchecked by default), the Wireless
WAN user interface will attempt to establish a packet data connection whenever packet data
is available (e.g. after resume from suspend without further user interaction).
To activate the automatic connection mode:
•• Tap on the OK button.
While automatic connection mode is enabled, the Connect Data button in the main Wireless
LAN dialog box changes to Disable Auto.
To close the currently active connection (if any) and disable the automatic connection mode:
••
Tap on Disable Auto.
Important: Automatic connection mode should not be used if applications other than
the Wireless WAN user interface (e.g. Connection Manager) are expected
to open and close connections.
If the automatic connection mode is enabled and another application closes
the packet data connection, the WWAN user interface will immediately try
to re-establish the connection.
Use Virtual Serial Port
If Use virtual serial port is enabled, packet data connections are established through the
virtual serial port of the WWAN driver rather than through the WWAN driver directly.
This checkbox should only be checked if certain third-party VPN (Virtual Private Network)

clients are used that do not work correctly otherwise. The default setting is disabled
(unchecked).
Note: The connection setup takes longer through the virtual serial port.
Enable Automatic Configuration
In most cases, the data connection is configured automatically and no user interaction is required. This is true even if multiple SIM cards from different operators are used with the
same device. The connection parameters are adjusted automatically when a new SIM card is
detected (this may require a reset). The connection parameters are retrieved from a database.
Manual configuration should be necessary only if:
••
••
••
••
One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the
database. (The database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)
An operator has assigned individual packet data user names and passwords.
A very large site has their own APN. Such connections always have to be
configured manually.
A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be
configured manually.
Important: For CDMA/1xRTT, automatic configuration is not available –– connections
must be configured manually. Under APN, the packet service access
number must be entered (typically ““#777””).
In the following section, all the parameters that need to be configured for a connection (such
as APN, user name, password, DNS server addresses etc.) are referred to as a profile. Every
profile is identified by an arbitrary, unique name. The profile named Default is special in
that it is always present and can neither be edited nor deleted. (A sample dialog box is presented on the page following.) The Default profile uses parameters from a built-in database.
The home network (the network that issued the SIM) is used for the database look-up. While
there can be many configured profiles, only one profile can be active at any time.
If connection profiles are configured manually then the Enable automatic configuration:
checkbox should normally be unchecked.
In one particular use case, manually configured profiles may be combined with automatic
configuration. If multiple SIM cards are used with the same device, each SIM card being
from a different operator and some or all of them requiring a manually set up profile, automatic configuration may be used to automatically pick the correct manually configured

profile for each SIM card. For this to work each profile has to be configured while the corresponding SIM card is inserted in the device and initialized (i.e. the status is at least SIM
is ready).
The Select profile drop-down list in the data configuration profile selects which profile a
subsequent action applies to. A profile named Default is always present and contains the
current parameters from the database. The following actions are available:
Show
The parameters for the selected profile are displayed when you tap on this button. For the
Default profile, the publicly known password is shown –– otherwise, the password is hidden.
Edit
The parameters of the selected profile can be edited when you choose the Edit button. Keep
in mind that you cannot edit the Default profile.
Delete
The selected profile is deleted. You cannot delete the Default profile.
Activate
When this button is chosen, the selected profile is made the active profile. Activation is possible only if the Enable automatic configuration: checkbox is unchecked.
New
Tapping on the New button allows you to create a new profile.
The name of the newly created profile must be different from all existing profiles. Also, the
name cannot be Default. When the New Data Profile dialog box is opened, a proposal for a
unique name is filled in the corresponding entry field. If a manually configured profile has a

secret password and unauthorized access to the device is a concern even after the SIM PIN
has been entered, the password should not be entered in the New Data Profile dialog box
and the Prompt user for password checkbox should be checked instead. In this case, you will
be prompted for the password each time a connection is initiated (the Connect Data button
in the main Wireless WAN dialog box is selected).
Reset
The Reset button in the New Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes resets all entry fields to
the values they had when the dialog box was opened.
Advanced IP
The Advanced IP button in the Show Profile and Edit Profile dialog boxes opens another
dialog box that allows you to configure a static IP address as well as the IP addresses for the
primary and secondary DNS and WINS resolvers.
6.44.5.2 Security Configuration
The Security Configuration dialog box is called up through the Tools menu.
Note: Security configuration is not available with CDMA modems.
The Security Configuration dialog box allows you to enable, disable and change the PIN.
You will need the current PIN to make any of these changes. The PIN must be enabled in
order to be changed. (If the PIN is disabled, the New PIN entry field is greyed out.)
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
235
Chapter 6: Settings
Tools Menu
Note: Keep in mind that some network operators do not allow the SIM PIN to be disabled.
A new PIN must consist of 4 to 8 numeric digits.
The Require PIN on resume checkbox is independent of the aforementioned settings. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. While the checkbox remains unchecked, any PIN entered
on startup or through the Security Configuration dialog box and submitted successfully to
the modem is stored in memory for as long as the device is not rebooted. This stored PIN is
then used without further user interaction whenever the modem requires a PIN (such as
resume after suspend or modem removal). The stored PIN is also automatically entered in
the Current PIN text box whenever the Security Configuration dialog box is called up.
If unauthorized access to the device is a concern, the Require PIN on resume checkbox
should be checked. In this case, you will be prompted whenever a PIN is required and the
PIN is not stored.
6.44.5.3 Network Configuration
Note: Network configuration is not available with CDMA modems.
In the main Wireless WAN screen:
•• Tap on the Tools menu, and choose Network.
By default the GSM radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed
networks (allowed networks are the home network and all other networks with which the
home network has a roaming agreement). You may find there are some situations in which
you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you may want to disable roaming
if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but a foreign
roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have
packet data roaming agreements. In this case, you’’ll need to manually select the network
which you know to support packet data roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking Enable automatic network select in the Network dialog box. When automatic network selection is
disabled, you must select a network manually.
Available networks can also be viewed without changing any settings. Scanning for available networks is a lengthy operation –– a progress bar is shown while the scan is active. For
every network that is found, the network name, country, status and numeric network
identifier (MCC/MNC, Mobile Country Code followed by the Mobile Network Code)
is displayed.
236
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
Chapter 6: Settings
Tools Menu
Note: Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks have
roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an ‘‘Available’’ status, it does
not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming agreement covers
packet data.
A status of ‘‘Forbidden’’ indicates that the network cannot be used. If you choose a
network that is not covered by a roaming agreement, the status in the main WWAN
dialog box changes to ‘‘Emergency calls only’’, ‘‘No network found’’, ‘‘GPRS not available’’ or ‘‘GPRS not allowed’’.
6.44.5.4 Driver Mode Configuration
By default, the Wireless WAN driver is enabled (the Enable driver checkbox is checked).
The driver must be disabled in order to access the modem directly (e.g. dial-up data, fax, or
in order to manually submit AT commands to the modem for development, testing, approvals, etc.). In most cases, the Virtual WWAN serial port can be used and it is not necessary to
disable the WWAN driver. If the Enable driver checkbox is not checked, the driver is shut
down as soon as the OK button in the Driver Mode dialog box tapped.
If, on the other hand, the Wireless WAN driver is not running and the Enable driver checkbox is checked, the Wireless WAN driver is started as soon the Driver Mode dialog box is
closed using the OK button.
Note: When the driver is not running, no network status or signal strength can be displayed.
Since all currently supported modems are automatically detected, the Enable automatic port
detection checkbox should always be checked. If this checkbox is not checked, a serial port

can be selected manually. This experimental feature allows the driver to be used with an internal GSM modem that was not recognized by the automatic detection or an external GSM
modem connected to a serial port of the computer through USB or through Bluetooth. An
external modem connected to a serial port must support 115.2kbit/s, 8bit, no parity and hardware flow control.
6.44.5.5 Modem Information
The fields in this dialog box cannot be edited –– they only display information about the
WORKABOUT PRO3 modem. If the network operator has not programmed a user’’s phone
number into the SIM, the Phone field remains empty. The modem serial number is called
IMEI for GSM modems and ESN for CDMA modems.
The SIM ID is sometimes referred to as the ICC ID (International Charge Card Identifier).
Not all modems support the retrieval of the SIM ID. In particular, the Novatel Merlin UMTS
modems and the Option Globetrotter modems do not support SIM ID retrieval.
If the main menu shows an error status, at least partial modem information may be available.
Modem Power Modes
The power mode of the modem is controlled through the Power icon rather than through the
Wireless WAN user interface.
To adjust PC Card and CF card modems settings:
•• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon.
•• Tap on the Built-in Devices tab.
If the checkbox for a modem is unchecked, power is not applied to the modem and a driver
is not loaded (neither the serial port driver nor the Wireless WAN driver). If the checkbox is
checked, power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the hand-held is
turned on. Power is removed from the modem when the WORKABOUT PRO3 enters
suspend mode.
To enable a modem module that is built into the unit:
•• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab followed by the Power icon.
For a modem module that is built into the WORKABOUT PRO3, the settings can be found
under the Built-in Devices tab. In this case, one of the following power modes can
be selected:
••

Power is applied to the modem and the drivers are loaded when the hand-held is turned on.
Power is removed from the modem when the terminal enters suspend mode.
•• Enabled –– Always On
When the WORKABOUT PRO3 enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered
indefinitely.
•• Enabled –– Keep on for 5 min
•• Enabled –– Keep on for 15 min
•• Enabled –– Keep on for 30 min
•• Enabled –– Keep on for 1 hour
•• Enabled –– Keep on for 2 hours
When the hand-held enters suspend mode, the modem remains powered. If the WORKABOUT PRO3 is not turned on again during the configured time, the unit briefly wakes up
from suspend mode, shuts down the modem, and enters suspend mode again. The default
mode is Enabled - Keep on for 1 hour.
At the cost of a slightly increased power consumption in suspend mode, the modes where
the modem remains powered during suspend mode have several advantages. When the
hand-held wakes from suspend mode, the modem is ready immediately; modem or network
initialization is not required. A packet data session can thus remain active during suspend
mode. In these modes, the modem is also able to wake up the hand-held if the network status
changes, or there is a new incoming SMS.

6.44.6.2 Inbox
Tapping on Inbox opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for example,
from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted with the
most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by clicking
on the corresponding column heading.
Clicking the same column heading twice reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit
moves the highlight to the next message whose address begins with that letter or number.
Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Regional Settings in the Control Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect, the Inbox has to be closed
and re-opened.
The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message
can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox
message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above,
except the destination phone number is already filled in. Pressing the Delete button erases

Battery Charge Duration
A fully discharged battery can take up to 4 hours to charge. The quad battery charger stops
applying power to the battery when it is fully charged––there is no risk of overcharge if the
battery remains in the charge well. The 75% charge indicator is handy if you need a quick
recharge––a quick charge often takes less than one hour.

Troubleshooting
7.22.1 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.
7.22.2 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.
7.22.3 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.
•• Reconnect the mains cable in the charger and mains outlet.
If the power LED still does not light up:
•• Unplug the mains cable, and check the fuse at the rear of the charger.
If the fuse appears to be intact, the charger requires service.

Interaction with the WORKABOUT PRO3 while in the quad dock is a function of the user
application software used to communicate with the host network.
7.23.4 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 hand-held unit automatically detects insertion into a quad docking station and loads the appropriate drivers to
communicate with the USB/Ethernet converters.
7.23.4.1 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
PRO3 on the network.

The Vehicle Cradle
7.24
The Vehicle Cradle
The vehicle cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the WORKABOUT PRO3 securely even when
operated in high vibration environments.
Note: Shock and vibration specifications for the WORKABOUT PRO3 are verified using
Psion Teklogix-approved RAM mounts and mounting hardware. Use of non-certified
Psion Teklogix mounting hardware is not recommended, and may void warranty
coverage.
The model number for vehicle cradles varies depending on the type of hand-held:
•• WORKABOUT PRO3 C –– Model # WA1210-G2
•• WORKABOUT PRO3 S –– Model # WA1310-G2
A port replicator option is available for powered vehicle cradles. Refer to ““The Port Replicator”” on page 279 for details.
7.24.1 Vehicle Cradle Mounting Recommendations
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, contact Psion Teklogix for assistance go to:
www.psionteklogix.com/service-and-support.htm
Note also that for better protection, 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
276

Wiring Guidelines
Before installing cables between the cradle and other devices, review the following:
••
••
••
••
••
••
7.27
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.
Using The Vehicle Cradle
If your WORKABOUT PRO3 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
hand straps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
••
••
7.28
Slide the WORKABOUT PRO3 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 PRO3
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.
Maintaining The Vehicle Cradle
Two latches in the cradle hold the WORKABOUT PRO3 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.

Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
7.29
Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage Vehicles
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.
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.
7.30
Powered Vehicle Cradle Installation
The powered cradle is designed to allow the WORKABOUT PRO3 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 9 to 20V, with optional preregulator.
The vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed.
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.
7.30.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The Cradle
An optional 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) compatible with your
powered vehicle cradle can be purchased from Psion Teklogix. This optional cable should
be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power
278
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
The Port Replicator
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 PRO3 will continue to operate with or without
vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.
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.
7.31
The Port Replicator
The port replicator (Model# WA4005-G1) 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 PRO3 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).

280
Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back
into the scanner’’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.
Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that
the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on
either end of the symbol.
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Troubleshooting
••
If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark
is centred within the bar code you want to scan.
•• When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code.
Movement blurs the image.
•• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
•• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.
A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the
onscreen message states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable
““Scan Indication”” in the Options tab of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel
When the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan
button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if ““Scan Result”” is turned on in the Options tab
of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.
7.32.2 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
••
••
••
••
••
••
••
Is the unit on?
Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are
using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.
Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to
verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
Check that the bar code is within the proper range.
Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware
problem in the hand-held.
Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.
7.32.3 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Laser Scanners
••

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled
for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning
begins. Refer to ““Dot Time (msec)”” on page D-2 of Appendix D: ““Bar Code
Settings””for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an
immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and
high visibility internal scanners.
••
Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning
indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
7.32.4 Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers
An imager takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can
find a bar code regardless of its orientation——that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree
angle to the hand-held will be decoded successfully.
Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are
within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are
within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded
bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then
issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.
When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the
field of view of the scanner.
Because imagers generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise
may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode
the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the hand-held.
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination
is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic coated
bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing at a
shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the bar
code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.
Most imagers take several ‘‘snap shots’’ of the bar code in order to decode it.
It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady
between flashes to improve decode performance.

Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful or failed scan result is obtained.
•• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker)
is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field——either in the centre of the bar code
you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be
scanned.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the bar code(s)
is taken.

Bluetooth Peripherals
The WORKABOUT PRO3 is 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.
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
•• Bluetooth headset
Keep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band.
Although the WORKABOUT PRO3 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 802.11g network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals
that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).
Refer to ““Bluetooth Setup”” on page 201 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 pair with the WORKABOUT PRO3 host.

SCU Security Capabilities
A foundational element of the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard is IEEE 802.1X and a
critical application on a mobile device is an 802.1X supplicant. This supplicant provides an
interface between the radio and the operating system and supports the authentication and encryption elements required for 802.11i, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), as
well as predecessors such as WPA and WEP. Summit software includes an integrated supplicant that supports a broad range of security capabilities, including:
••
802.1X authentication using pre-shared keys or an EAP type, required for WPA2
and WPA.
•• Data encryption and decryption using WPA2 AES, WPA TKIP or WEP.
Common EAP types include:
••
••
••
••
••
••
EAP-TLS: Uses the same technology as a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It
provides strong security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication.
PEAP: Provides secure user authentication by using a TLS tunnel to encrypt EAP traffic. Two different inner methods are used with PEAP:
EAP-MSCHAPV2, resulting in PEAP-MSCHAP: This is appropriate for use against
Windows Active Directory and domains.
EAP-GTC, resulting in PEAP-GTC: This is for authentication with one-time passwords
(OTPs) against OTP data bases such as SecureID.
LEAP: Is an authentication method for use with Cisco WLAN access points. LEAP
does not require the use of server or client certificates. LEAP supports Windows Active
Directory and domains but requires the use of strong passwords to avoid vulnerability to
off-line dictionary attacks.
EAP-FAST: Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to protect
against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the use of
server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.
Note: PEAP and EAP-TLS require the use of Windows facilities for the configuration
of digital certificates.
SCU EAP Types
The following EAP types are supported by the integrated supplicant and can be configured
in SCU: PEAP-MSCHAP, PEAP-GTC, LEAP and EAP-FAST. With each of these four
types, if authentication credentials are not stored in the profile, you will be prompted to enter
credentials the first time the radio attempts to associate to an access point that supports
802.1X (EAP).
Consider the following when configuring one of the EAP types:
••
PEAP-GTC: SCU supports static (login) passwords only.
WORKABOUT PRO 3 with Windows Mobile 6.1 User Manual
A-5
Appendix A: Summit Client Utility (SCU)
EAP Credentials
•• LEAP: Strong passwords are recommended.
•• EAP-FAST: SCU supports automatic, not manual, PAC provisioning.
EAP-TLS will work with a 802.11b/g radio module when Windows Zero Config (WZC)
rather than the SCU is used to configure the type. With WZC, the native Windows supplicant instead of the SCU integrated supplicant is used.
A.3.2
EAP Credentials
Keep the following in mind when defining security settings:
••
••
••
••
••
••
If the credentials specified in the profile are incorrect and that profile is used, the
authentication fails without an error message; you will not be prompted to enter
correct credentials.
If the credentials are not specified in the profile, when the radio tries to associate using
that profile, you will be prompted to enter the credentials.
When prompted, you can enter valid credentials, enter invalid credentials, or cancel
the operation.
If you enter valid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate and authenticate.
If you enter invalid credentials and tap OK, the radio will associate but will not authenticate; you will be prompted again to enter credentials.
If you tap Cancel or clear the credentials fields and tap OK, the radio will not attempt to
associate with that profile until you perform one of the following actions (while the
profile is the Active Profile):
- Cause the WORKABOUT PRO3 to go through a power cycle or suspend/resume.
- Disable and enable the radio, or tap the Reconnect button on the Diags windows.
- Modify the profile, and tap on Commit.
Alternatively, you can choose another profile as the active profile and then switch back to
the profile for which EAP authentication was cancelled.
A.3.3
ThirdPartyConfig
If you choose to configure ThirdPartyConfig, the SCU will work with the operating system’’s Windows Zero Config (WZC) to configure radio and security settings for the CF radio
installed in the unit.
Choosing this profile means that WZC must be used to define the following radio and security options: SSID, Auth Type, EAP Type and Encryption. The SCU settings for
ThirdPartyConfig include: Client Name, Power Save, Tx Power, Bit Rate and Radio Mode.

TEKLOGIX IMAGERS APPLET
The Teklogix Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete and activate imager
settings. The principle uses of the applet are to decode bar codes and to capture
images. A Demonstration Application is provided to demonstrates how the imager
works. Refer to ““PTSI Imager Demo”” on page 101 for details.
C.1
Required Applets
In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers and Teklogix Scanners
applets must be present in the Settings>System tab along with the Teklogix
Imagers applet.
C.2
Presets
There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Teklogix
Imagers applet:
••
••
Use a predefined preset.
Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset.
Important: It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is used
whenever possible. Each predefined preset contains a coherent
group of settings that are known to work together in the intended
environment. In almost all situations, at least one of the predefined presets results in a satisfactory outcome.
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a specific purpose such as bar code decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or
resume from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom
preset can be created for a specific user application, such as: include only
specified bar codes, read only a specified number of bar codes or for reading
unusual media.

Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for ““Dot Time (msec)”” determines (in milliseconds) how long the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. When you doubletap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value of 0 msec,
200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Aim Duration
This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser
begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which
you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming dot.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the

Continuous Scan Mode
Setting this parameter to ‘‘on’’ keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the
scanner button is pressed and held down.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned
off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount
of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly
triggers on/off.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power
mode options: Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or a serial
communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger
pull or serial communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable
for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to
scan a bar code.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a
successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned –– a
successful decode restores normal blinking.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min or 3 min.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and

Important: To successfully read this type of bar code, the two types of symbologies
included in a composite bar code must be enabled. In addition, ““Center Bar
Code Only”” must be disabled.
A composite symbol includes multi-row 2D components making it compatible with linear
and area CCD scanners along with linear and rastering laser scanners.
The options available for this parameter represent multi-level components of a
composite symbol.
