Using the CK30 Battery

The CK30 uses an AB1 lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CK30.

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

Attention: Si la batterie n’est pas remplacée immédiatement, des données ou applications importantes risquent d’être perdues.

4 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

The lithium-ion battery pack that is 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.

Avertissement: Le paquet de piles d’ions de lithium qui est utilisé dans cet appareil peut presenter un risque feu ou un risque chimique de brûlure s’il est maltraité. Il ne faut pas le désassembler, le réchauffer à une température plus élevée que 100° C (212° F) ou l’incinérer.

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

Problems With RF Connectivity

Problem Solution

You are having problems with your

802.11b RF network coverage.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 61

Make sure that the Multiple Density Distribution (MDD) command on your access point is not enabled. When MDD is enabled, the access point distributes values for these RF coverage parameters to your terminal: AP Density and Medium Reservation. Changes made by your access point are not reflected in the terminal menu system.

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK30

Problems With RF Connectivity (continued)

Problem Possible Solution

When you turn on the terminal after it was suspended for a while (10-15 minutes or longer), the terminal can no longer send or receive messages over the network.

The no network connection icon appears in the status bar. The CK30 is not communicating with the access point.

The CK30 is connected to the G4000 or host computer and you move to a new site to collect data. The network connection icon was visible but now the no network connection icon is visible.

The host may have deactivated or lost your current terminal emulation session. In a TCP/IP direct connect network, you need to turn off the “Keep Alive” message (if possible) from the host so that the TCP session is maintained while a terminal is suspended.

The CK30 is not connected to the access point. Make sure the access point is turned on and operating. You may also be using the terminal out of range of an access point. Try moving closer to an access point to reestablish communications. If you are using a

MobileLAN access point with firmware release 1.34 or earlier, it may not be able to communicate with the terminal. For help upgrading your access point firmware, see the MobileLAN access System Manual (P/N 067150).

Make sure the CK30 is configured correctly for your network. The radio parameters on the terminal must match the values set for all access points the terminal may communicate with. For help, see “Using RF Communications on the CK30” in Chapter 2.

If you have an 802.11b radio, the radio initialization process may have failed. Try resetting the CK30. See “Booting the CK30” later in this chapter.

If you have tried these possible solutions and the no network connection icon still appears, you may have a defective radio card. For help, contact your local Intermec service representative.

You may have gone out of range of an access point. Try moving closer to an access point or to a different location to re-establish communications. Once you are in range again, the network connection icon will appear again. Any data you collected while out of range will be transmitted over the network.

62 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK30

Problems With RF Connectivity (continued)

Problem Possible Solution

The network connection icon is in the status bar, but you cannot establish a terminal emulation session with the host computer.

The network connection icon is in the status bar, but the host computer is not receiving any data from the CK30.

There may be a problem with the host computer, a problem with the connection between the G4000 and the host computer, or a problem with the connection between the access point and the host computer. Check with your network administrator to make sure the host is running and allowing users to login to the system.

In a UDP Plus or WTP network, there may be a problem with the connection between the G4000 and the host computer. Check with your network administrator or see the user’s manual for the G4000.

In a TCP/IP network, there may be a problem with the connection between the access point and the host computer. Check with your network administrator or use your access point user’s manual.

Problems Transmitting Data Through the Serial Port

If you are having problems sending or receiving data through the integrated I/O port on the terminal, check these possible problems:

• Make sure the terminal is connected to the PC, host computer, or RS-232 serial device using the appropriate cable.

• If the terminal is in a communications dock, make sure that the communications dock is connected to the serial device using the appropriate cable.

Problems Transmitting Data Through the DCS 30X or G4000

Problem Solution

Transaction Buffer Full. The buffer holding transactions to be sent to the DCS

30X or G4000 is full. Stop collecting data with this terminal. Make sure the terminal is communicating with the DCS 30X or G4000 and let the terminal send all the transactions in the buffer before you continue collecting data.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 63

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK30

Problems While Scanning Bar Codes

Problem Solution

You cannot see a red beam of light from the scanner when you press the Scan button and aim the scanner at a bar code label.

64 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

There are two possible problems:

• You may be too far away from the bar code label. Try moving closer to the bar code label and scan it again.

• You may be scanning the bar code label “straight on.” Change the scanning angle and try again.

You can test the effective range of the scanner. Move within 2 feet of a wall and test the scanner. You need to be within the scanning range to scan bar code labels. For help on scanning distances, see “Specifications” in Appendix A.

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK30

Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)

Problem Solution

When you release the Scan button, the Good Read LED does not turn off.

You have an input device attached to the terminal and it cannot read any bar codes.

The input device attached to the terminal does not appear to work well or read bar code labels very quickly.

The scanner will not read the bar code label.

The scanner does not read the bar code labels quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be faint or obscured.

The Good Read LED will remain on if you configure the terminal to use edge triggering. If you configure the terminal for level triggering and the Good Read LED remains on, there may be a problem. Press the Scan button again without scanning a bar code label. If the LED is still on, contact your local Intermec service representative.

You may not be using an input device that is supported with the terminal. Make sure you are using one of the supported input devices.

Try setting the Scanner Selection command to the specific input device you have attached. Check the bar code symbologies you have enabled on the terminal. Enable only the symbologies that you are using.

Make sure you aim the scanner beam so it crosses the entire bar code label in one pass.

The angle you are scanning the bar code label may not be working well, or you may be scanning the label “straight on.” Try scanning the bar code label again, but vary the scanning angle.

The bar code label print quality may be poor or unreadable. To check the quality of the bar code label, try scanning a bar code label that you know scans. Compare the two bar code labels to see if the bar code quality is too low. You may need to replace the label that you cannot scan.

Make sure the bar code symbology you are scanning is enabled. Use the Configuration Utility to check the symbologies. On the Symbologies Menu, each symbology that is enabled has a check mark (➼) next to the name of the symbology. If your bar code symbology is disabled, enable it and then try scanning the bar code label again.

Make sure that the application you are running on the terminal is expecting input from a bar code. You may need to type this information instead of scanning it.

The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of ammonia and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch the window.

CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 65

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK30

Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)

Problem Solution

You scan a reader command, such as Backlight On, and nothing happens.

The reader commands are disabled. Scan the Enable Override command shown here to temporarily enable all of the reader commands. When you are finished, remember to disable the override so that your data is not interpreted as a command.

Enable Override

*$+DC3*

You scan a valid bar code label to enter data for your application. The data decoded by the scan module does not match the data encoded in the bar code label.

The terminal may have decoded the bar code label in a symbology other than the label’s actual symbology. Try scanning the bar code label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.

To operate the terminal quickly and efficiently, you should enable only the bar code symbologies that you are going to scan.

Booting the CK30

You seldom need to warm or cold boot the CK30. The CK30 uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process. Once the CK30 finishes booting, your application appears on the screen.

You need to cold boot the CK30 when an application is locked up and will not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the computer. The next instructions explain how you warm and cold boot the CK30.
