Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO

Uploading Data In A Docking Station

•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.

3.10 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 allow 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 is not available.

Note: Refer to “Chargers And Docking Stations” on page 281 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.

When a WORKABOUT PRO is properly inserted in a docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. The unit also detects the presence of the Ethernet network.

3.11 Bluetooth Radio

Note: Integrated Bluetooth class II radios are standard on WORKABOUT PRO C and S units. Keep in mind also that Bluetooth is available simulta- neously with WAN and 802.11b on a single unit.

The WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with an on-board Bluetooth radio. This type of radio enables short range data communication between devices. The Bluetooth also provides the capability to use a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone as a data modem, exchanging information with other Bluetooth devices and providing network access. Refer to “The Bluetooth GPRS Phone” on page 175 for setup details.
