Checking the Workabout hardware
You should now refer the Psion Workabout User Guide chapters 1 and 2 and start
familiarising yourself with the basic operation of the Psion (you will need to do this
more thoroughly when you reach the tutorial sections).
The Internal drawer
The Workabout hardware installed at despatch is listed below. You can check this by
pressing the drawer release button at the top left corner of the Workabout to open the
battery drawer. Check for:
a) Lithium backup cell installed.
b) One Ni-Cd battery pack installed, and charged.
c) Flashcard in internal drive slot A
The Psion Charger
This provides power to run the Workabout, and at the same time trickle-charges any
Ni-Cd battery that is installed.
♦
Mount the Workabout into its Docking Unit, and connect the charger to it.
The indicator on the front of the Workabout will light up.
Spare Ni-Cd batteries are supplied uncharged. At the first convenient opportunity,
fit them in the Workabout and trickle-charge them fully (overnight).
This completes the initial checks to show that the SunScan probe and Workabout are
functioning. Now you must install the SunData s/w in your PC.
