Learning Software Build Versions

The Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased when a cold-boot is performed. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.

To check to see if your CK60 has the latest PSM build or the latest operating system build, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop, then see the information under CK60 Version Information.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Resetting Your Computer

When the CK60 completely stops responding, an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CK60, it may be necessary to perform a reset.

Preferred Reset Method

The recommended method in recovering the CK60 is to press and hold the power switch on the front of the CK60 for about 10 seconds. This performs a graceful system shutdown and no data is lost in the process.

Secondary Reset Method

If performing the preferred reset method does not restore system operation, it may be necessary to press the reset button inside the battery compartment of the CK60. This method does not guarantee that cached disk data will be saved, and as such, transactional data may be lost during the reset. All other data is preserved.

To press the reset button

1 Press the power switch to suspend the CK60.

2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CK60.

CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual 3

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.

4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the unit.

Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. You may damage the reset button.

Clean Boot Process

If performing either reset method fails to restore system operation, it may be necessary to perform a clean-boot. This is a boot method which formats the object store to clean data and registry information from the CK60 system and restores them to their factory-default state.

Press this reset button with your stylus.

Note: This will erase the memory in the CK60, including all applications and data files found in the object store (user store). See “Packaging

Applications for the Computer” on page 74 for more information.

To perform a clean-boot

1 Press the power switch to suspend the CK60.

2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CK60.

3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.

4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the unit.

5 Continue to hold the power switch until a Warning message appears on

the display, release the power switch, then read the message.

6 To continue with the clean-boot, press the right side button.

To cancel the clean-boot, press the left side button.

Scanning Bar Codes

Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

Use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. The type of scanner you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. The CK60 supports the scanning of 2D images. Plus, if you are using an integrated handle or a tethered scanner, the way you scan bar codes is different.

4 CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual

When you unpack the CK60, the Code39, UPC/EAN, and PDF417 (with imager) bar code symbologies are enabled.

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec Settings applet to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. For help on using the Intermec Settings applet, see “Using the Intermec Settings

Applet” on page 10.

Scanning with the 2D Area Imager

The CK60 has the 2D area imager, which provides the ability to scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scanning where you can position the CK60 in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D area imager is similar to taking a digital pictures.

1 Press the power button to turn on the CK60.

2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK60

steady a few inches from the label.

3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on a handle and

center the red aiming beam over the bar code label.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away.

When the CK60 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep and the green Good Read indicator turns on briefly.

4 Release the Scan button.

If you have problems scanning a bar code with the 2D imager, try following some of these tips to improve the performance of your imager:

• Set Lighting mode to Illum LED Priority.

• Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.

• Make sure that Aimer LED Duration is set to zero.

• Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still being able to capture the entire bar code.

• Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.

Use Intermec Settings to configure these imager commands. For help using Intermec Settings, see “Using the Intermec Settings Applet” on page 10. For more information on the commands and their parameters, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N 073529) via the Intermec web site. See

“Before You Begin” for information how to

download this .chm file.

CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Supported Devices

The CK60 should connect the following scanner models: 1551, 1553, 1555; ScanPlus 1800SR, 1800ST, 1800VT; Scan Image 1470; SF51; and SF61. There are a number of different scan engines covered by these models, including RFID and XLR scan engines. Model 1555 and Scan Image 1470 are supported as input devices only; configuration of these models are accomplished by scanning labels.

Using the Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor automatically turns off the display lighting as surrounding light increases to conserve your CK60 battery power. As configured from the factory, the ambient light sensor is disabled.

To enable the ambient light sensor and change its settings 1 Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel.

2 Double-tap the Backlight icon.

3 Tap the right arrow to scroll to and tap the Both Power tab.

4 Make your selections, then tap OK to exit this applet.

Using the Battery

The CK60 uses a 17.3 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery. Fully charge the battery before using the CK60. When changing the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor) maintains your state, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it.

This restores the backlight setting once CK60 powers on

This turns off the ambient light sensor.

This disables the backlight in normal environments. This disables the backlight in bright environments.

If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important state or applications.

6 CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.

Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage. For example, if you use a tethered scanner every day, you need to replace your battery more often than someone who uses an internal scanner.

Note: The CK60 has an internal backup super capacitor which retains data for an average of ten minutes after the battery is removed. It also shuts down the CK60 if the battery suddenly goes away (removed from the computer). Depending upon the processes running, it may not have adequate power for a graceful shut down. If so, the CK60 performs a coldboot the next time power is applied.

In short, put the CK60 into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove the battery.

You can configure the battery power fail level so that after the system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least ten minutes at room temperature if the main battery remains in the handheld computer, using the Power applet (see page 8). The state and time are lost if:

• The battery discharges beyond this level.

• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.

Charging and Installing the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you install it in your CK60; and that you take at least 20 minutes to initially charge the backup battery using a charging dock before the backup system is fully functional.

To charge the battery

• Either insert the battery into the quad battery charger,

• or place the CK60 with battery installed in a single dock, a single dock with modem, or a multidock.

The battery charge time is four hours or less on any of these docks if the temperature is within the battery charging range.

You could also use a power adapter to keep the CK60 on full power.

For maximum efficiency, store your CK60 on external power with which to charge your batteries.

For more information on these accessories, see “Accessories for the

Computer” on page 19.

To install the battery, insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the CK60 and snap the battery into place.

Below are things you can do to maximize the life of your battery.

10 CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User’s Manual

58-Key Full Alphanumeric Keypad

This keypad is for applications that enter mainly numeric data (0-9) and that may need to enter the entire alphabet. This keypad also provides shift function keys (F1-F24) and special characters, symbols, and functions by pressing color-coded key sequences.

Using the Color-Coded Keys

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Each keypad available for the CK60 provides color-coded keys to let you access additional characters, symbols, and functions printed on the keypad overlay. Once you understand how to use the color-coded keys and key sequences, you will know how to access all of the additional features printed on the keypad overlay. There are two color-coded modifier keys on the CK60: the orange B key and the green C key.

You press and release the first key, then press and release the second key to access the color-coded character or function printed above a key. Note that there are several hidden characters (such as < or >) on each CK60 keypad that require using the color-coded keys to access them.

Capitalizing All Characters

To type all alphanumeric characters as uppercase letters, you can enable the Caps Lock feature on the CK60 keypad. To enable Caps Lock, on the 58key keypad, press the B key, then the Space key. Press the same key sequence to disable the Caps Lock.

Using the Power Key

When you press the power button to turn off the CK60, you actually put the CK60 in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, the CK60 continues to supply power to all memory, but turns off power to most hardware. This power-saving feature is to prolong battery life.

When you press the power button to turn the CK60 back on, your computer resumes where it was when you turned it off. If the Battery light flashes and the CK60 does not resume after pressing the power button, your battery may be too low to supply power. Replace the battery.

Using the Speakers

The high-volume speaker on the back of the CK60 is capable of variable volume levels. This speaker is capable of reproducing voice and WAV files, and is used primarily to convey status tones. There is a separate volume control in the Intermec Settings and Volume & Sounds applets. Information on these applets is on the next page.

Do not place the speaker next to your ear when the speaker volume is set to “Loud” (maximum), or you may damage your hearing.

Using the Status Indicators

The status indicators on the CK60 turn on to indicate the battery status or a successful bar code decode. The battery indicators and screen icon work to alert you to your battery status. If the battery indicator (to the right of the Scan button) comes on, check the toolbar to see what icon appears. The battery may be critically low and need replacing. The green Good Read indicator above the display appears when you have decoded a bar code successfully.
