Chapter 1 — Using the CV60 Vehicle Mount Computer
Introducing the CV60 Vehicle Mount Computer
The CV60 is a rugged Vehicle Mount computer designed for
real-time data collection applications in warehousing,
distribution, work-in-process, time and attendance, and
stationary applications. The CV60 is highly configurable and can
be used with either Microsoft Windows CE.NET or Microsoft
Windows XP/XPE operating systems. The CV60 supports the
use of terminal emulation applications, browser-based
applications, or custom applications. This manual covers the
Windows CE based operating system for the CV60.

Use this manual to understand how to use the features and
options available on the CV60. For a complete list of accessories
available on the CV60, see “Accessories for the CV60” on
page 79.
Using the Touch Screen
The CV60 has a 12.1 inch color SVGA touch screen display. The
touch screen has an optional heater to reduce condensation on
the external surface of the display when moving between subfreezing temperatures and normal temperatures.
If you are going to use the CV60 in extreme conditions
(-30
° to 50° C or -22° to 122° 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
CV60 helps preserve the lighting on the display.
The default screen that appears on the display when you turn on
the CV60 is the Windows CE Start screen. This screen appears
unless you have the TE 2000 application installed on the CV60.
If you have the TE 2000 application installed, it launches after
the initial boot sequence.

Mounting the CV60
To properly mount the CV60 to a desktop or vehicle, you must
order a RAM Mount kit.
Note: Intermec rugged testing for shock and vibration on a
mobile application has been conducted with the RAM Mount
Company vehicle accessory kits which are listed in the Price
Guide. The use of these kits allows the reliability of our vehicle
mount rugged computers to be characterized, clearly understood
and fully supported. Incorrect mounting and/or use of nonauthorized mounting accessories for your computer may
prematurely damage the computer and/or accessories and runs
the risk of voiding the product warranty. Additional mounting
instructions are contained in the DC-DC Installation Guides.
Further questions can be answered by your Intermec Field
Representative.
There are four mounting kit options sold separately:
• Standard Vehicle Mounting Kit (P/N 203-784-001)
• Desktop Mounting Kit (P/N 203-785-001)

Connecting the CV60 to Power
For the CV60 to operate, you must provide power to the CV60
through a DC/DC power supply or an AC/DC power supply.
You must have a power supply connected to the CV60 for it to
operate.
Use the AC power supply and power cord when you are using the
CV60 with a desk mounting kit.
There are four power options for the CV60. You must order one
of these power options separately:
• DC/DC Converter Kit, non-heated (15-96V)
(P/N 203-780-001)

Light State What It Means
Off The TE 2000 application has not loaded successfully,
or you are not running a Ready-to-Work application.
Blinking The CV60 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.
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.

Customizing the CV60
You can customize the CV60 by adjusting settings and installing
additional software. Programs added to your CV60 at the factory
are stored in Read Only Memory (ROM). You cannot remove
this software. All other programs and files added to the CV60
after factory installation are are stored in Random Access
Memory (RAM).
You can install any program created for the CV60, as long as the
computer has enough memory available.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize the information on
your desktop with the information on the CV60.
Synchronization compares the data on the CV60 with your
desktop PC and updates both computers with the most recent
information.
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize
all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn
synchronization on or off for specific information types.
Chapter 2 — Understanding Windows CE
You can also perform these functions with ActiveSync:
• Copy files between the CV60 and the desktop.
• Back up and restore the CV60 data.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a
synchronization mode.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control
how much data is synchronized.
To u se ActiveSy nc
1 Connect the CV60 to your desktop PC with a serial cable
(P/N 321-563-003).
2 Install ActiveSync on your desktop. ActiveSync is available
from the Microsoft web site. ActiveSync is already installed on
the CV60.
After installation, ActiveSync automatically launches the
ActiveSync Setup Wizard.
