Uploading Data In A Docking Station
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.
3.8 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
Important:
The desktop docking station and quad docking station are typically used to upload
transaction data to a server computer when a radio link is not available.
Note: Refer to "Desktop Docking Station" on page 216 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.
3.9 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 802.11g 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 "Bluetooth Setup" on page 109 for setup details.
You can also pair your hand-set with a Bluetooth headset.
