Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO

Indicators

3.6 Indicators

The WORKABOUT PRO uses an LED (Light Emitting Diode), onscreen messages and audio tones to indicate the various conditions of the hand-held, the batteries, the scans and so on.

3.6.1 The LED

A single, two-coloured LED is located on the upper-right side of the keyboard, just above the [ENTER] key. When you press [ENTER], the LED flashes green to indicate that the unit has been powered up. The LED table following outlines the behaviour of the LED while the unit is docked in a charger.

Keep in mind that the application running on the WORKABOUT PRO can dictate how the LED operates. Review the documentation provided with your application to determine LED behaviour.

If the unit is attached to an external power supply, the hand-held LED reflects the battery charge status.

The audio speaker provides a variety of sounds when a key is pressed, a keyboard character is rejected, scan input is accepted or rejected, an operator’s entry does not match in a match field or the battery is low. To specify how you want your WORKABOUT PRO to respond under various conditions, refer to “Sound & Notifications” on page 106.

The volume can be adjusted using the [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW]. The increase volume key is labelled with a plus symbol and the decrease volume key is labelled with a minus symbol.
