and peripherals to the CV61. The USB
cable provides dual USB type A host
connectors and includes cable restraints.
To properly mount the CV61 to a desktop or vehicle, you must
purchase a mounting kit. Use of any other kits for the CV61 may
prematurely damage the computer or void the product warranty. For
more information, contact your local Intermec representative.
There are two types of mounting kit options sold separately:
• Standard Vehicle Mounting Kit
• Desktop Mounting Kit
For more information on installing the mounting kits, see one of the
mounting kit instructions located on the Intermec website at
www.intermec.com.
Connect the CV61 to Power
For the CV61 to operate, you must provide power to the CV61 through
a DC/DC or AC/DC power supply. There are a variety of power options
for the CV61. You must order one of these power options separately:
• DC/DC Power Supply Kit (6-60 VDC) for heated displays
• DC/DC Power Supply Kit (15-96 VDC) for non-heated displays
• DC/DC Dual Power Supply Kit (15-96 VDC) for heated displays

• AC Power Supply Kit
Use the CV61 adapter cable to connect the CV61 to an existing CV60
DC/DC installation. If you are using the CV61 with the Desktop
Mounting Kit, use the AC power supply and power cord. For more
information on power supply options, contact your local Intermec
representative.
Understand the Backup Power System
The CV61 has backup battery that has enough capacity to maintain a
network connected state for up to 30 minutes if power is removed (for
example, during a forklift battery change). When power is restored, the
CV61 resumes normal operation.
An internal charger automatically charges the backup battery within 8
hours when external power is supplied. If the backup battery fails, a
fault is displayed in the CV61 Properties screen.
Check the Status of the Backup Battery
Check the status of the internal battery to know how much battery life
you have left.

About the Touch Screen
The CV61 has a 12.1” color XGA touch screen display with a resolution
of 1024 x 768 pixels. The display may also come with an optional
heated touch screen defroster to reduce condensation on the external
surface of the display when moving between sub-freezing
temperatures and normal temperatures.
If you are going to use the CV61 in extreme cold conditions for an
extended period of time, you should turn on the power at room
temperature for at least 15 minutes prior to using it. This process of
“warming up” helps preserve the lighting on the display.
Adjust the Screen Brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the screen manually or enable the
ambient-light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness of the
CV61.
1 Tap Start > Control Panel.
2 In the View by: drop-down menu, select either Large or Small
icons.
3 Double-tap CV61 Properties. The screen brightness is shown in
the Screen Control section of the CV61 Properties screen.

6 Tap OK to exit the CV61 Properties menu.
Install an External Antenna
You can purchase an antenna to mount on a wall, forklift, or other flat
surface using either screws or small patches of adhesive-backed hook
and loop fastener material.
Since system performance and antenna polarization are
site-dependent, a permanent mounting location may require some
experimentation. In most fixed installations, you should mount the
antenna initially in a vertically-polarized position, with the cable from
the antenna parallel to the floor and ceiling.
1 Remove the antenna cover.
12 CV61 Vehicle Mount Computer (Windows 7) User Guide
Chapter 1 — About the Vehicle Mount Computer
2 Secure the antenna to the CV61 antenna plug.
3 Using your own hardware, secure the external antenna to a wall,
forklift, or other flat surface.
Force the Use of an External Antenna Connection
If an external antenna is connected, the CV61 automatically detects
the connection and disables the internal antenna and uses the external
antenna. However, if the external antenna is not detected, you can
force the use of the external antenna through the CV61 Properties
screen.
1 Tap Start > Control Panel.
2 In the View by: drop-down menu, select either Large or Small
icons.
