Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer  
Using the 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. When you change the battery, a backup battery  
maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least  
10 minutes.  
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.  
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.  
Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from  
children. Contact your local Intermec sales 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 will need to replace your  
battery more often than someone who uses an internal scanner.  
Charging and Installing the Battery  
Make sure you fully charge the AB1 battery before you install it  
in your CK30.

screen and that the Battery light is not turned  
on.  
2 Press Ito turn off the CK30.  
Store the CK30 for  
more than a day.  
1 Save your data and end your computer session.  
2 Press Ito turn off the CK30.

Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer  
Using the Keypad  
Your CK30 has one of the following keypad overlay options:  
• 42-key large numeric and function  
• 50-key full alphanumeric  
• 52-key full alphanumeric  
You can order all versions of the CK30 keypad with an  
international overlay. The international overlay supports English  
and many Western European languages, such as French,  
German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. You enter all of the  
characters and functions printed above the keys just like you  
would on a standard keypad.  
Note: There are several hidden characters (such as { and }) on  
each CK30 keypad that require using the color-coded keys to  
access them. For more information on accessing these hidden  
characters, refer to “Typing Characters Not Printed on the  
Keypad” on page 111.  
The CK30 supports TE 2000 VT100/220/320/340 and ANSI,  
TE 2000 5250, and TE 2000 3270. When you order the CK30  
with a TE 2000 application, you must order the corresponding  
keypad overlay. Use the TE 2000 keypad overlays to enter the  
same keys that you can enter on a VT/ANSI keyboard, an IBM  
5250 keyboard, or an IBM 3270 keyboard.  
Like the standard CK30 keypad overlays, the TE 2000 keypad  
overlays let you enter all the characters printed on or above the  
keys. The terminal emulation keypads also come with the same  
color-coded keys that are on the standard overlay.  
For more help using TE 2000 terminal emulation, see the  
appropriate TE 2000 programmer’s guide.

Understanding the Beeps  
The CK30 uses beeps to provide you with audio feedback when  
it performs some functions. For example, you hear a beep each  
time you scan a valid bar code.  
Understanding the CK30 Beeps  
Beep Sequence  
What it Means

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.  
Avertissement: Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d’un  
rayon laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser lorsque celui-ci est en  
opération. Si vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser,  
cela peut endommager votre vue.  
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 CK30 supports  
the scanning of 1D linear bar codes and 2D images depending  
on your model of CK30. Plus, if you are using an integrated  
handle or a tethered scanner, the way you scan bar codes is  
different.  
When you unpack the CK30, these bar code symbologies are  
enabled:  
• Code 39  
• UPC/EAN  
• PDF417  
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 Configuration Utility to enable and disable symbologies  
for your scanner. For help understanding how to use the  
Configuration Utility, see “Configuring the CK30 With the  
Configuration Utility” on page 30.  
The next sections describe how to scan a bar code label with the  
integrated laser scanner, 1D linear imager, 2D area imager, and  
tethered scanner.

Scanning With the Integrated Laser Scanner and 1D Linear Imager  
If the CK30 has a laser scanner or 1D linear imager, use the  
following procedure to practice how to scan a bar code. The  
linear imager can decode PDF417 bar codes as well as bar codes  
with high-density, wide-density, and poor quality in any lighting  
conditions.  
To scan a bar code label with the laser scanner and 1D linear imager  
1 Press Ito turn on the CK30.  
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the  
computer at a slight angle six to ten inches from the label.  
Note: If you have an advanced long-range scanner, you may  
need to hold the computer further away from the label.  
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on a  
handle and direct the red beam so that it falls across all bars in  
the bar code label.

4 Release the Scan button.  
Scanning With the 2D Area Imager  
The CK30C may have the 2D area imager option instead of the  
1D linear imager or laser scanner. The 2D imager provides the  
ability to scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-  
directional (360°) scanning. Omni-directional scanning means  
that you can position the CK30 in any orientation to scan a bar  
code label. Using the 2D area imager is very similar to taking a  
picture with a digital camera.  
To scan a bar code label with the 2D area imager  
1 Press Ito turn on the CK30.  
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the  
CK30 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.  
The imager flashes repeatedly while it is trying to read a bar  
code. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to  
the bar code and larger when it is further away.

Configuring the CK30 by Scanning Bar Codes  
You can change some of the configuration parameters of the  
CK30 by scanning Code 39 or Code 93 bar code labels  
containing configuration commands. This method is a fast and  
easy way to change just a few configuration parameters on a  
single CK30.  
You can only change some of the configuration parameters by  
scanning bar codes. To configure all of the configuration  
parameters, use the Configuration Utility or send commands  
through the network to your CK30.  
You can print and scan the bar code labels from the CK30  
Command Reference Manual or you can create your own bar  
code labels. For help, see the CK30 Command Reference Manual.  
You can also use Intermec’s EasySet software to print  
configuration labels you can scan to change your configuration  
settings. For more information, see the EasySet online help.  
EasySet is available from the Intermec Data Capture web site.  
For example, you can use the Beeper Volume configuration  
command to adjust the beep volume of the CK30. Scan this bar  
code label to set the volume to the lowest (quietest) level:  
Beeper Volume Low  
*$+BV1*  
*$+BV1*

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30  
When you scan bar code configuration commands, the CK30  
emits a series of beeps unless the volume is turned off. There are  
two beep sequences:  
• One high beep means you scanned a valid configuration  
command.  
• Three low beeps means you scanned an invalid configuration  
command.  
Configuring the CK30 Through the Network  
You can change the configuration parameters of the CK30 by  
sending commands through a host computer or through the  
network. If you are using a network, you can configure one or  
more CK30s at a time. You can remotely configure the wireless  
or Ethernet CK30 by sending a command from an application  
on the host computer. You cannot set all parameters through the  
network. You can only set those commands that have a syntax in  
the CK30 Command Reference Manual.  
Note: You can continue running an application on the CK30  
while configuring it from the host.  
Configuring the CK30 in a UDP Plus Network  
You can use the host computer to configure a CK30 in your  
wireless or Ethernet network. To send and receive configuration  
data or files, you need to write a host application that can  
communicate with the Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X.  
For help, see the appropriate Intermec Gateway or DCS 30X  
user’s manual. You use the Terminal Message Format (TMF)  
protocol to send and receive transactions between the host  
application and the CK30.  
To set up the DCS 30X or Intermec Gateway  
• Configure a peer-to-peer destination name for the host  
application. Create a transaction ID, $NGCFGRSP, that will  
be routed to this destination name. The DCS 30X or  
Intermec Gateway uses the transaction ID to route responses  
from the CK30 back to the host application. $NGCFGRSP is  
a special transaction ID that the server uses to forward  
configuration response data from a CK30.

Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30  
All configuration responses are routed with the  
$NGCFGRSP transaction ID. The DCS 30X or Intermec  
Gateway cannot keep track of multiple applications sending  
reader or configuration commands. If you have two host  
applications sending reader or configuration commands, they  
must both be configured to receive the $NGCFGRSP  
transactions, and therefore both will receive all responses from  
all CK30s.  
To set up the host computer  
• Verify that the host computer can communicate with the  
DCS 30X or Intermec Gateway.  
To set up the application  
• Prepare and write a host application that can communicate  
with the DCS 30X or Intermec Gateway and send  
transactions to and receive transactions from the CK30 in this  
format:  
transaction header  
TMF field  
commands  
where:  
transaction is a 96-byte field containing the message  
header  
number, date and time, source application ID,  
destinations application ID, transaction ID,  
and other information. You must set the system  
message (SYS$MSG) flag to E in the  
transaction header. For help, see the DCS 30X  
or Intermec Gateway user’s manual.

Configuring the CK30 in a TCP/IP Direct Connect Network  
You can use the host computer to configure a wireless or  
Ethernet CK30 in your TCP/IP network.  
To send and receive configuration data, you need to write a host  
application that can communicate with the CK30 directly  
through an access point or through the Ethernet network. You  
use the Terminal Message Format (TMF) protocol to send and  
receive transactions between the host application and the CK30.  
To set up the host computer  
• Verify that you can communicate with the CK30.  
To set up the application  
• Prepare and write a host application that can communicate

Configuring Security  
The CK30 provides three types of Wireless Local Area Network  
(WLAN) security:  
• WiFi Protected Access (WPA)  
• 802.1x  
• WEP  
Use the next sections to understand how to configure each type  
of security on your wireless CK30. If you choose not to use  
security, see “Disabling Security” on page 54 for help.  
If you are using 802.1x security, this section also assumes that  
your authentication server and access points are properly  
configured.  
Loading Certificates  
If you choose to use transport layer security (TLS) with WPA or  
802.1x security, you need to have a unique client certificate on  
the CK30 and a trusted root certificate authority (CA)  
certificate. If you choose to use PEAP, you need to load a root  
CA certificate. You can use a third-party CA to issue unique  
client certificates and a root certificate. If your CA is on your  
WLAN, you can use the CK30 Enroll application to obtain the  
certificates.  
To load certificates on the CK30  
1 Configure the network and radio settings for the CK30.  
2 From the System Main Menu, choose Programs >  
Command Prompt.  
3 Type enroll –sserver_name  
where server_name is the name or IP address of the CA server

7 Configure your CK30 for WPA or 802.1x security.  
Configuring WPA Security  
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced,  
interoperable Wi-Fi security that addresses many of the  
vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Instead of  
WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for  
its data encryption method.  
Currently, WPA satisfies some of the requirements in the IEEE  
802.11i draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA  
will maintain forward compatibility. WPA runs in Enterprise  
(802.1x) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode.  
In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using  
802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That  
is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server) must  
authenticate each device before the device can communicate  
with the WLAN.  
In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared  
key between the access point and the CK30. WPA-PSK is a  
good solution for small offices or home offices that do not want  
to use an authentication server.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications  
Developing Applications for the CK30  
The CK30 Handheld Computers run applications programmed  
in Microsoft Embedded Visual C++. The CK30C can also run  
applications developed for the .NET Compact framework using  
Microsoft C# and Visual Basic.  
Use this section to understand what you need to:  
• Develop a new application for the CK30.  
• Develop a web-based application for the CK30.  
• Convert a Trakker Antares application to a CK30 application.  
Developing a New Application for the CK30  
Use the Intermec SDK to develop new applications to run on  
the CK30. The Intermec SDK is a library of C++ language  
functions you can use to create applications for the CK30.  
See the SDK online user’s manual for help developing your  
application. The Intermec SDK User’s Manual contains hardware  
and software requirements, all of the functions that are  
supported by the CK30, and how to use these functions.  
The SDK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL),  
which is available on CD (P/N 235-114-001) or as a download  
from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.  
You need these hardware and software components to use the  
Intermec SDK:  
• Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher  
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP  
(Home, Professional, or Server)  
• For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual  
C++ version 4.0  
• For .NET Development and Compact Framework (C# and  
VB.NET), Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003  
• 128MB RAM (196MB recommended)  
• 360MB Hard drive space for minimum installation (720MB  
for complete)

Converting a Trakker Antares Application to a CK30 Application  
If you have an existing Trakker Antares application that you  
would like to run on the CK30, you can use the PSK to convert  
it. The CK30 PSK is a set of libraries and tools that you use to  
convert your existing Trakker Antares C applications into C++  
applications for use on the CK30 Handheld Computer.  
The CK30 does not support all Trakker Antares PSK functions.  
You may need to rewrite parts of your application when  
converting it for use on the CK30. See the online CK30 PSK  
User’s Manual for a list of functions that are not supported.  
CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual  
59  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications  
You need these hardware and software components to use the  
PSK:  
• PC with at least 1MB of free disk space running Microsoft  
Windows 2000/XP  
• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0 with Service  
Pack 2  
• Intermec SDK and development tools  
• Intermec PSK, which contains these files and utilities:  
• PSK functions library  
• Header files  
• Example files  
The PSK is part of the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL),  
which is available on CD (P/N 235-114-001) or as a download  
from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.  
Installing Applications on the CK30  
There are several ways you can install applications on the CK30:  
• You can package your application as a cabinet (CAB) file.  
• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver  
the EXE file.  
• You can copy a directory structure that contains the  
application, supporting files, DLLs, images, sound files, and  
data files.  
Intermec recommends using CAB files to install your  
applications. The CK30 uses standard Windows CE CAB files  
and will install third-party CAB files. Before the CK30 executes  
a CAB file, it marks the file as read-only so that it will not be  
deleted after installation. After the CAB file is executed, the  
CK30 automatically saves any changes you have made to the  
registry or file system so that they will persist through a cold  
boot. This process means that you will not have to reinstall your  
applications when you perform a cold boot.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications  
Intermec advises you to store your applications in a folder  
specific to your application underneath the \PROGRAM FILES  
folder. Intermec recommends that you store your application  
data in one of these locations on the CK30:  
• The SDMMC Disk folder  
• The CK_FFS folder  
If you have an SD card inserted in your CK30, it appears as the  
SDMMC Disk folder. This folder is the recommended location  
for placing your application install files.  
The CK_FFS folder is an area of storage that is part of the CK30  
flash memory. This storage area is not deleted during a cold  
boot.  
There are several ways you can install files and applications on  
the CK30:  
• ActiveSync  
• SD Card  
• FTP Server  
• Wavelink Avalanche  
The following sections explain how to use each one of these  
processes to install your application on the CK30.  
Installing Applications Using ActiveSync  
You can use ActiveSync to establish a connection between your  
PC and the CK30. ActiveSync allows you to transfer files,  
synchronize files, perform remote debugging, and other device  
management activities. ActiveSync is a free application available  
from the Microsoft web site.  
To establish a partnership between your PC and the CK30, you  
will need:  
• A USB cable or a female-to-female null modem serial cable.  
• An AD1 communications dock.  
• ActiveSync version 3.7.1 or later.

When the partnership has been established, the following screen  
appears on your PC showing the device name of your CK30 and  
the Connected status.  
The Microsoft ActiveSync Screen  
An ActiveSync icon ( ) also appears on the CK30 status bar  
indicating that it has established an ActiveSync partnership with  
your PC.  
Note: If ActiveSync does not establish a partnership on the first  
try, the Get Connected dialog box appears on your PC with the  
message “Your device was not detected.” Make sure all of your  
cables are securely connected and click Next on the Get  
Connected dialog box until your device is detected.  
Now that the partnership has been established, ActiveSync  
initiates all future connections. To connect to your PC using  
ActiveSync in the future, simply place a CK30 in the AD1  
communications dock, connect the CK30 serially to your PC, or  
turn on the CK30.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications  
The file has now been copied to the CK30 and you can see it  
using the CK30 File Manager.  
6 Navigate to your application file and run it.  
After your application is installed, you can run it from the  
Programs menu in the System Main Menu.  
Installing Applications Using Your SD Card  
If you have an SD card for your CK30, this is the best place for  
you to install applications.  
To install applications using the SD card  
1 If you are using an SD card reader, remove the SD card from  
the CK30 and place it in the reader. For help, see “Using the  
SD Card” on page 25.  
2 Copy your application file to the SD card.  
If you are using ActiveSync, an FTP server, or Wavelink  
Avalanche to copy the files to the SD card, place the  
application in the SDMMC Disk folder on the CK30.  
3 If you are using an SD card reader, insert the SD card back  
into the CK30.  
4 Navigate to the SDMMC Disk folder and run your  
application.  
After your application is installed, you can run it from the  
Programs menu in the System Main Menu.  
Installing Applications Using the FTP Server  
The CK30 has a built-in FTP server that connects to a network  
through the 802.11b/g radio or Ethernet. You can use the server  
to transfer your application file to the CK30. Another benefit of  
using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to  
automate the process of copying your files to the CK30.  
This option is useful when you need to send files to a large  
number of CK30s.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications  
Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche  
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche™ device management  
system to install applications on all of your wireless CK30s. The  
CK30 ships with the Avalanche Enabler already loaded on it.  
Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a  
warm boot), the CK30 attempts to connect to the Avalanche  
Agent. When the CK30 connects to the agent, the Agent  
determines whether an update is available and immediately starts  
the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update.  
To use Avalanche to remotely manage the CK30  
1 Install software packages and updates for the CK30 using the  
Avalanche Administrative Console.  
2 Schedule the CK30 updates or manually initiate an update  
using the Avalanche Administrative Console.  
For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact  
your local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site  
at www.wavelink.com.  
Launching Your Application Automatically  
To launch your application automatically on the CK30 every  
time you perform a warm or cold boot, make sure your CAB file  
places a shortcut to your application in the \Windows\StartUp  
folder.  
Customizing How Applications Load on the CK30  
If you have several processes that you need to have run in a  
specific order as the CK30 turns on, you can use the AutoRun  
system to customize the way applications load. For compatibility  
with other Intermec computers, you can place a copy of  
AutoRun.exe in the same folder as your AutoRun.dat file but it  
is not required.  
To create and install the AutoRun.dat file on your CK30  
1 On the CK30, create a subfolder called 2577 on the  
SDMMC Disk or the CK_FFS folder.  
66  
CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications  
2 On your PC, open Notepad.  
3 Write commands for AutoRun.dat using these supported  
script commands:  
Script Command  
Description  
EXEC  
Launches a specified program and waits (up to 10  
minutes) for it to complete.  
CALL  
Processes a specified file of commands and  
returns. When you use the CALL command, the  
execution of the current file pauses while a new  
file that follows the same set of commands  
executes. Once the new file completes executing,  
AutoRun.exe continues processing the current  
file.  
CHAIN  
RUN  
Processes a specified file of commands and does  
not return. This command allows you to call  
another file that follows the same set of  
commands and stop processing the current file.  
Loads a specified program and executes it.  
Specifies the show window attribute so that the  
user interface is visible when the application  
launches.  
LOAD  
Loads a specified program and executes it.  
Specifies the hide window attribute so the user  
interface is hidden initially.  
4 Save this Notepad file as AutoRun.dat.  
5 Copy the AutoRun.dat file to the \2577 folder on your  
CK30.  
During every boot, the system scans for AutoRun.dat in the  
\2577 folder on first the SDMMC Disk and then the CK_FFS  
folder. The CK30 executes the first AutoRun.dat file that it  
finds.  
Here is a sample AutoRun.dat file that runs a dialer application,  
connects to a VPN, and establishes a TE 2000 session:  
EXEC “\Program Files\My Dialer\Dialer.exe” 348-2600  
EXEC “\Program Files\My VPN\Connect.exe” MyDomain  
RUN “\Program Files\TE2000\TE2000.exe” MyServer

Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)  
Problem  
Solution  
When you release the Scan button or  
handle trigger, the Good Read light does  
not turn off.  
The Good Read light will remain on if you configure the  
CK30 to use continuous/edge triggering. If you  
configure the CK30 for level triggering and the Good  
Read light remains on, there may be a problem. Press  
the Scan button or pull the trigger again without  
scanning a bar code label. If the light is still on, contact  
your local Intermec service representative.  
You have an input device attached to the  
CK30 and it cannot read any bar codes.  
You may not be using an input device that is supported  
with the CK30. Make sure you are using one of the  
supported input devices and that you have selected the  
correct scanner model using the Configuration Utility.  
The input device attached to the  
computer does not appear to work well  
or read bar code labels very quickly.  
Try setting the Scanner Model command to the specific  
input device you have attached. Check the bar code  
symbologies you have enabled on the CK30. Enable  
only the symbologies that you are using.  
The scanner will not read the bar code  
label.  
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 will scan.  
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 (9) 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  
computer is expecting input from a bar code. You may  
need to type this information instead of scanning it.  
The scanner does not read the bar code  
labels quickly, or the scanning beam  
seems to be faint or obscured.  
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.

Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)  
Problem  
Solution  
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 computer 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 computer quickly and efficiently, you  
should enable only the bar code symbologies that you  
are going to scan.  
You receive a message reading “Scanner  
Communication Failure” when trying to  
connect a 1551E or 1553 decoded  
scanner.  
Make sure that:  
You are using the correct cable (P/N 3-606034-02).  
The scanner cable is attached correctly. When you  
attach the scanner to the port, it should emit a single  
power up beep.  
Try enabling the port state. Go to Scanners,  
Symbologies > CK30 Tethered Scanner > Port  
State.  
Try upgrading the scanner firmware.  
Select ASCII as the scanner model.  
Your 1551E or 1553 scanner was  
working fine, but after changing the port  
setting you cannot change the  
configuration.  
The 1551E or 1553 scanner must be using the correct  
RS-232 settings to allow configuration from the  
Configuration Utility. Try disabling and then enabling  
the scanner port state.  
The configuration settings in the  
Configuration Utility do not match the  
settings on your 1551E or 1553.  
Try disabling and then enabling the scanner port state to  
synchronize the CK30 settings with the scanner.  
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.  
You need to 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.

Chapter 6 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK30  
Warm Booting the CK30  
If your charged CK30 does not resume after pressing I, or if the  
computer or an application is locked up, you may need to warm  
boot it.  
To warm boot the CK30  
• Press and hold I for 5 seconds. The CK30 tells you it is  
performing a warm boot and the screen comes back up to the  
start screen.  
Cold Booting the CK30  
If the CK30 or application is locked up and does not respond to  
a warm boot, follow this procedure to perform a cold boot.  
When you perform a cold boot, all data in your RAM storage is  
deleted. To make a backup copy of everything in your RAM-  
based storage system, see “Backing Up Your Files” on page 78.  
To cold boot the CK30  
1 Remove the battery.  
2 Using a small pointed device (such as the end of a paper clip  
or pen), press the reset switch on the backside of the CK30.

Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset  
switch. You may damage the reset switch.  
Attention: N'employez pas la force ou un objet pointu  
quand appuyant sur le remettez à zéro le bouton . Vous  
pouvez endommager le remettez à zéro le bouton.  
3 Replace the battery.  
The battery light on the CK30 blinks three times and the CK30  
starts the power on sequence.  
Note: Date and time settings are not saved through a cold boot.  
You will need to reset the time and date.  
Cleaning the Scanner Window and CK30 Screen  
To keep the computer in good working order, you may need to  
perform these minor maintenance tasks:  
• Clean the scanner window.  
• Clean the CK30 screen.  
Clean the scanner window and CK30 screen as often as needed  
for the environment in which you are using the computer. To  
clean the CK30, use a solution of ammonia and water.  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the CK30.  
Opening the unit will void the warranty and may cause  
damage to the internal components.  
Attention: Le CK30 ne contient pas de pièces réparables par  
l’utilisateur. Le fait d’ouvrir l’unité annule la garantie et peut  
endommager les pièces internes.  
To clean the scanner window and computer screen  
1 Press I to turn off the CK30.  
2 Dip a clean towel or rag in the ammonia solution and wring  
out the excess. Wipe off the scanner window and screen. Do  
not allow any abrasive material to touch these surfaces.  
3 Wipe dry.
