Troubleshooting
Psion Workabout
There is no SunData Icon in the system screen.
•
From the Psion system screen, select Menu, Apps, Install, Enter, Tab, and select
Sundata.app in the \SUN\ subdirectory. If this file does not exist, it must be
copied from the SunScan program disk - refer to the appendix: File Transfer
between Workabout and PC.
The system fails to recognise a Flashcard in the A: or B: drives.
•
Make sure the SSD drawer is firmly closed.
The Workabout gives continuous “low battery” warnings, even after fully recharging
the battery pack.

Remove and then replace the battery pack when it is fully charged. This will reset
the “low battery” warnings.
