Button Assignment Utility lets you assign a specific button as a hot key for launching a program or performing a certain action.
9.1.1 MANAGING THE REGISTRY Go to Start | CipherLab Utilities | BackupUtility to open the Backup Utility. If you are using this backup utility for the first time, you must save the system registry as a first step.
Chapter 9 More Applications 9.1.2 PREPARING FOR BACKUP Tap the Backup tab and it will automatically start scanning the file system. Within a few minutes, it will generate a list for the backup operation. If the items "Machine Registry" and "User Registry" are not listed, it means no registry backup procedure has been performed.

Chapter 9 More Applications Background Colors tab Set the background color from the available samples or entering the RGB values (0~255) for your color. Changing the background color will erase the signature you have captured in this file.
Reference Manual 9.4 GPS VIEWER The CP30 Mobile Computer is equipped with a GPS receiver for obtaining location and time information from the Global Positioning System (GPS). Since the mobile computer does not come with any preinstalled navigation software, you may need to purchase third-party navigation software separately.
Page 148
Chapter 9 More Applications Note: Time To First Fix (TTFF) relies on environmental factors. Normally, it takes approximately 40 seconds for the receiver to locate the first satellite. However, it may take longer when satellite signals are blocked by tall vertical objects, such as buildings or trees.
CP30 Mobile Computer Reference Manual 9.4.1 RECEIVING GPS INFORMATION The receiver will automatically start to scan available satellites, synchronize time, and get the current location. Information on time, location, the quality of the signal, and so on, will be displayed if available. On the satellite position graph (= the earth marked with N, E, S, W indicators for North, East, South and West), satellites in view are displayed in red and flash to get signal.
Chapter 9 More Applications 9.4.2 DATA OF NMEA FORMAT The serial interface protocol is based on the national Marine Electronics Association’s NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. For details, please refer to NMEA 0183 Version 3.01, which may be obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org. You may save the NMEA codes as a text file and import it in a third-party application.
