Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must
be fully charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers
and docking stations along with a WORKABOUT PRO internal charger. When
using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and
docking stations are described in Chapter9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
beginning on page297.

screen indicating that the backup battery capacity is low. To recharge the
internal battery, you must fully charge the WORKABOUT PRO w ith the
main battery installed in the unit. An overnight charge is recommended.
Important: Before opening the battery cover on your WORKABOUT PRO,
you must turn off the hand-held. If the battery cover is opened
while the hand-held is still powered on, the uni t may reboot.
