Using the Computer This chapter introduces the CK61 Mobile Computer, developed by Intermec to enhance wireless connectivity needs and contains hardware and software configuration information to assist you in making the most out of your CK61. Note: Desktop icons and settings applet icons are shown to the left. Any place that Start is mentioned, tap the following Windows icon in the top, left corner of your CK61 desktop.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Introducing the CK61 Mobile Computer The Intermec CK61 Mobile Computer is an ergonomically designed ® ® mobile computer built on the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. It is a lightweight, easy-to-use, reliable computer that runs client/ server applications, terminal emulation applications, as well as browser- based applications.
CK61s with an IEEE 802.11a/b/g radio installed are Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with other 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN devices. What’s New The CK61 is now available with a near-far area imager option. 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 procedure is the recommended method in recovering the CK61. It performs a graceful system shutdown and no data is lost in the process. To recover the CK61 • Press and hold the power switch on the front of the CK61 for about 10 seconds. Secondary Reset Method If performing the recommended reset method does not restore system operation, try using this method.
The CK61 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.

7.77 cm/ 3.06" 18.95 cm/ 7.46" Scanning with a Standard or Near-Far Range Area Imager Your CK61 may come with one of two types of area imagers: • standard area imager • near-far area imager CK61 Mobile Computer with Windows Mobile User’s Manual...
Page 25
Both area imagers allow you to scan 2D bar code symbologies and support omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omni-directional scanning means that you can position the CK61 in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using an area imager is very similar to taking digital pictures.
Page 26
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer 4 When the CK61 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep and the green Good Read light turns on briefly. 5 Release the Scan button or the trigger. If there are multiple bar codes in one area, you should enable the center- decoding option to read your bar codes.
22.889 cm (9.011 in) 99.111 cm (39.020 in) Intermec Settings Use Intermec Settings to configure these imager commands. For help using “Using the Intermec Settings Applet” on page Intermec Settings, see For information on the commands and their parameters, see the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N 073529), available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Using the Battery The CK61 uses a 17.3 Watt-hour, 7.2V, replaceable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery. You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CK61. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor) maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes. Put the CK61 into suspend (sleep) mode before you remove the battery.
• You could also use a power adapter to keep the CK61 on full power. For maximum efficiency, store your CK61 on external power with which to charge your batteries.
2 Remove the battery and insert another fully charged battery as quickly as possible or you may lose state. Or, you can insert the CK61 into a powered quad battery charger. Stop using the CK61 for five minutes or longer.

• If the file is not an installer, an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer is displayed. Move this file to your CK61. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your CK61.
Page 60
If you do not see the program listed, you can either use File Explorer on the CK61 to move the program to the Start Menu folder, or use ActiveSync on the desktop to create a shortcut to the program and place the shortcut in the Start Menu folder.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar and Contacts on your CK61. Notice that information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CK61, and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CK61 from your computer and you are ready to go! Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your CK61.
Messaging. Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your CK61. You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your CK61 and desktop or server and updates both computers with the latest information.
Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then, use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For example, you can easily share your CK61 with another by assigning your appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that project.

Check this box to detect and report client behavior suspected of being rogue APs. Once a rouge AP is detected, your CK61 no longer associates with that AP until you perform a clean boot. Clear this box to solve AP connection problems that result when an AP gets put on the rogue list due to inadvertent failed authentications, not because it is a real rogue.
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 CK61 and a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. If you choose to use PEAP, you need to load a root CA certificate.
