SunScan User Manual v 1.05 Getting Started •
••
• 9
After some minutes of inactivity, the Workabout screen will automatically blank
itself to save power. Press On/Esc once more to restore the screen display.
♦ Now connect the SunScan probe to the RS232 port at the top of the Workabout.
Leave the BFS sensor disconnected.
♦ Press the yellow arrow keys to select the SunData icon.(A black background
appears round the selected icon label.)
♦ Press the yellow
Enter button. (Enter always accepts the selected item.)
The SunData opening screen should
appear, with a heading indicating that a
probe is connected.
♦ Press the red button on the SunScan
probe handle once or twice.
The Workabout screen should change.
If it does, Step 2 is satisfactory.
If you cannot get this step to work, you will have another chance to test the SunScan
probe after you have installed the SunData s/w in your PC.
Step 3 - Switching off the Workabout
♦ Press ∪
∪∪
∪+X to exit the SunData program.
♦ Press Off.
The screen will go blank.
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.
