Chapter 1 — Using the CV30 Fixed Mount Computer

Using the Power Button

When you press the Power ( ) button to turn off the CV30, you actually put the CV30 into Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, the CV30 continues to supply power to all memory, but turns off power to most hardware. When you press the Power button to turn the CV30 back on, the computer resumes where it was when you turned it off.

You can configure the CV30 to turn off if not used for a specified period of time by going to Start > Settings > the System tab > Power > the Advanced tab.

When a CV30 is suspended and resumes, the 802.11 connection requires reauthentication.

Magnifying a Portion of the Screen

You can use the Zoom button to magnify a portion of the screen if you need to see details.

To zoom in on a portion of the screen

•Press the Zoom ( ) button and tap on the area of the screen you want to see.

Adjusting the Screen Brightness

You may want to adjust the brightness depending on the location of the CV30. Use the Brightness button on the CV30 front panel to control the brightness of the screen. The Brightness button also toggles the backlight on and off.

To toggle the backlight on and off

• Press and release the Brightness () button.

To adjust the screen brightness

•Press and hold the Brightness button until you achieve the desired level of brightness.

When you press and hold the Brightness button, it increases the brightness until you reach the highest setting. It then cycles to the lowest setting and increases the setting as you hold the button.

You can also adjust the brightness settings by going to Start > Settings > the Systems tab > Backlight or by using Intermec Settings.

CV30 Fixed Mount Computer User’s Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Using the CV30 Fixed Mount Computer

Adjusting the Volume

You can change the CV30 volume, for sounds you hear when you tap the screen or scan bar codes with a scanner, to adjust to your needs and the environment. You can set the volume to off, low, medium, medium-high, high, and very high (default). Use the following table to understand the different ways to adjust the volume.

select the System tab, and then double-click Intermec Settings. Go to Device Settings > Beeper > Vol um e.

Use the stylus to move the speaker slider up or down. You can also turn the volume on or off.

You can also set the number of beeps you hear when you scan a bar code with a Bluetooth or tethered scanner. For help setting the number of beeps, see “Connecting a Scanner” on page 13.

Using the Touch Screen

The CV30 has a 6.4 inch color VGA touch screen display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The touch screen has a built-in heater 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 CV30 in extreme cold conditions (0°C to -30°C or 32°F to -22°F) 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” the CV30 helps preserve the lighting on the display.

6 CV30 Fixed Mount Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the CV30 Fixed Mount Computer

The default screen that appears on the display when you turn on the CV30 is the Windows Mobile 5.0 standard Today screen. This screen appears unless you have the TE 2000 application installed on the CV30. If you have the TE 2000 application installed, it launches after the initial booting sequence.

Standard CV30 Today Screen

Navigating the Touch Screen

You can use the stylus accessory to navigate the touch screen.

Tap and hold Tap and hold the stylus or your finger on an item to

see a menu of actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Aligning the Touch Screen

If the touch screen does not respond when you tap it with the stylus, you may need to align the screen.

CV30 Fixed Mount Computer User’s Manual 7

Chapter 1 — Using the CV30 Fixed Mount Computer

To align the touch screen

1 Ta p Start > Settings > the System tab > Screen.

2 Ta p Align Screen and follow the instructions to align the

screen.

If the touch screen is so out of alignment that you cannot open the Start menu, you may need to perform a clean boot. After the computer clean boots, it prompts you to align the screen. For more information on performing a clean boot, see

“Troubleshooting the Boot Process (Clean Booting)” on page 83.

Attaching the CV30 to Power

For the CV30 to operate, you must provide power to the CV30 through a DC/DC power supply or an AC/DC power supply. The CV30 also has a backup battery to sustain all memory and applications when power is not supplied. You must have a power supply connected to the CV30 for it to operate.

Use the AC power supply and power cord when you are using the CV30 with a desk mounting kit or a wall mounting kit. The AC power supply does not provide power for the internal touch screen heater. You must order the AC power supply and countryspecific power cord separately.

There are three DC/DC power options for the CV30. You must order one of these DC/DC power options separately:

• DC/DC heated/non-heated (6-60 VDC) power supply (P/N 203-779-001)

• DC/DC non-heated (15-96 VDC) power supply (P/N 203-780-001)

• DC/DC heated (15-96 VDC) power supply (P/N 203-780-002)

For more information on installing the DC power options, see Vehicle Power Supply Installation Guide (P/N 932-003-001).

AC power supply

Attaching the CV30 to Power Using an AC Power Supply

Understanding the Backup Power System

The CV30 contains a backup battery that has enough capacity to support the suspend state for at least 72 hours. When power is restored to the CV30, it resumes the state it was in when the power was removed.

AC outlet

Power cord

An internal charger automatically charges the backup battery within 4 hours when external power is supplied. If the backup battery fails, an amber light on the top of the display turns on. You must replace your backup battery immediately if you see an amber light. The backup battery must be replaced by a trained Intermec service technician. Please contact your local Intermec service representative for more information.

To check the status of your backup battery

• Click the Battery ( ) icon at the top of the Today screen.

Resetting the CV30

You rarely need to reset the CV30. If the CV30 does not resume after pressing the Power button, or if the computer or an application is locked up, you may need to reset it. The CV30 uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process.

CV30 Fixed Mount Computer User’s Manual 9

Chapter 1 — Using the CV30 Fixed Mount Computer

To reset the CV30

•Press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds.

The CV30 systematically shuts down, restarts, and goes through the initialization process.

Understanding the Status Lights

The status lights on the CV30 turn on to indicate the status of the network connection, a successful decode of a bar code, or a user-defined function.

The Ready-to-Work indicator has three states: off, blinking, and on. Use this table to understand the different states of the light.

Ready-to-Work Light States

Off The TE 2000 application has not loaded

successfully, or you are not running a Ready-to-

Work application. Blinking The CV30 is not connected to the host. On A connection to the server has been established and

all network connections are active.

Installing an External Antenna

You can purchase a 2.4 GHz “patch” antenna to mount on a wall, fork lift, or other flat surface using either screws or small patches of adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener material. For more information on ordering an antenna, see “Accessories for the

CV30” on page 86.

Since system performance and antenna polarization are sitedependent, a permanent mounting location and orientation 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/ ceiling.
