It is a user and programming guide. It states that there are no user-serviceable parts inside the Workabout, and it has no disassembly steps, board layouts, voltages or component lists. Psion's Workabout MX Service Manual (2000), written for the later model, is described on Psion Workabout mx Documentation.
