How to Enable the Integrated GPS on the CS40
The CS40 comes equipped with an integrated Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver. It can deliver standards-based National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) data strings to GPS applications.
Intermec recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver
(GPSID) instead of directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID
is a Microsoft software component that interacts between
applications and the GPS hardware.
Using the GPSID allows Intermec support for Extended Ephemeris,
which enhances GPS performance by:
reducing the amount of time it takes your GPS receiver to acquire
a fix.
eliminating the need to obtain precise satellite data information
from the GPS satellites.
Chapter 1 — Using the CS40
CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 19
And, as a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also provides
these benefits:
Allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS
data stream.
Provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to
recognize and parse NMEA syntax.
Using the GPSID Installed on the CS40
To use the GPSID installed on your computer, you need to configure
the GPSID settings.
To configure your GPSID settings
1Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS. The GPS Settings
screen appears with Programs selected.
2Select the COM port that you want your programs to use to get
GPS data from your CS40.
Chapter 1 — Using the CS40
20 CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
3Tap Access and select the Manage GPS automatically check box.
4Tap ok.
Improving GPS Performance on the CS40
The integrated mobile computer GPS module has three operating
modes:
Standalone-GPS (default)
Assisted GPS
Qualcomm XTRA
In Standalone mode, the CS40 GPS module relies solely on GPS
satellites to determine position.
In Assisted GPS mode, the mobile computer can determine position
without receiving GPS signals directly from satellites; instead, the
mobile computer receives GPS signals and information provided by
the cellular network. Even when the mobile computer can receive a
satellite signal, Assisted GPS can improve position accuracy and
reduce the time to determine initial position (Time-To-First-Fix).
Check with your cell phone carrier for availability and pricing for
Assisted GPS service.
Chapter 1 — Using the CS40
CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 21
Qualcomm XTRA Assistance technology provides enhanced
operation for Standalone-GPS. This option lets the CS40
automatically download a small assistance data file from the XTRA
servers through a brief internet access session.
To improve GPS performance
1Tap Start > Settings > System > GPS Settings.
2Select Improve accuracy and choose an operating mode.
About Additional GPS Options for the Computer
Intermec provides enhanced feature support for the Extended
Ephemeris data capability. For more information about
programming for Extended Ephemeris GPS, visit the Intermec

Developing and Installing Applications
Use this chapter to understand the guidelines for developing
applications for use on your CS40. This chapter contains these
sections:
How to Develop Applications for the CS40
How to Install Applications on the CS40
How to Update the System Software
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
36 CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
How to Develop Applications for the CS40
Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop new applications to run on
your CS40. The Resource Kits are a library of components grouped by
functionality that you can use to create applications for your CS40.
The Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL),
and you can download them from the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com/idl.
To use the Resource Kits, you need Microsoft Windows Mobile SDK
and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. For more information on IDL, see
the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.
How to Package Your Application
For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file
you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to
install.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications.
The CN4 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install
third-party .cab files.
How to Choose a Target Location
You can have your .cab file place your application in any of these
memory locations on the CN4:
The ObjectStore.
The optional miniSD card. Depending on available disk space, you
may want to consider installing your application files on the
miniSD card. Using a card creates the Storage Card folder on the
CN4.
The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the
Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot.
Note: The Flash File Store may be erased if you reflash the image.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 37
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot
the computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the
appropriate location. When AutoRun is installed on the computer,
all .cab files in the CabFiles folder are automatically extracted after a
cold boot. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec
Developer Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.
How to Install Applications on the CS40
There are several ways you can install files and applications on your
CS40:
SmartSystems console
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
Scan to Load hands-free software loading function of
SmartSystems Foundation
microSD card
For more information about installing applications, see the Intermec
Developer Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.

5Remove the microSD card from the adapter card and insert it into
your CS40.
6On your CS40, navigate to the storage card folder and run your
application.
How to Update the System Software
Your CS40 uses Image Update to update the operating system (OS)
and system software. Image Update uses packages to allow for smaller
and faster updates because the contents are stored in ROM. Packages
persist through a cold or clean boot and cannot be removed by the
end user. The Image Update process also provides strengthened
security because all packages are signed.
Image Update packages (.pkg or .pks files) may contain elements such
as DLLs, executable (.exe) files, and .cab files.
You can use either of these methods to update your CS40:
You can update multiple computers at the same time using the
SmartSystems Console. For help, see the next section, “Updating
Multiple CS40s Using SmartSystems Console.”
You can update individual computers by transferring the packages
to your mobile computer and then installing them from the
mobile computer.
If you are using SmartSystems to update your CS40 you can choose to
send the updates silently. For more information, see “How to Send

50 CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Resetting the Computer
You rarely need to reset the mobile computer. If the CS40 does not
resume after pressing the Power button, or if the CS40 or an
application locks up, you may need to reset the CS40. The CS40 uses
the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot
process. There are three ways to reset the computer:
Warm booting
Cold booting
Clean booting
Warm Booting the Computer
You may need to perform a warm boot to correct conditions when an
application stops responding to the system.
To warm boot the computer
1Tap Start > Shutdown. The CS40 systematically shuts down.
2Press the Power button to turn on the CS40. The CS40 goes
through the initialization process and restarts.
Cold Booting the Computer
In some cases when the computer completely stops responding, it
may be necessary to perform a cold boot. Because cold booting may
result in data loss, only use this method if all other recovery methods
have failed.
To cold boot your computer
1Remove the battery pack from the computer and wait 30 seconds.
2Install the battery pack and press ^.
Note: Cold booting the computer does not guarantee that cached disk
data will be saved, so transactional data may be lost during the reset.
All other data is preserved.
Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer
CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 51
Clean Booting the Computer
If the computer does not warm boot or cold boot, you may need to
perform a clean boot. When you clean boot the computer, the
computer only loads files and applications that are absolutely
required by the operating system. A clean boot returns the computer
to an “out of the box” or factory default state, so that you can run
diagnostic tests to troubleshoot the normal boot process.
To clean boot the computer
1Remove the battery pack.
2Install the battery pack and press ^.
3When the computer starts the boot process, simultaneously press
< and > until the IPL Boot Configuration Menu appears on the
screen.
4Press 2 to select Force Clean Boot and then press 0 to select
Continue with Boot.
The computer executes the clean boot. This process takes a few
minutes.
5When prompted, tap the screen to set up the computer.
6Follow the instructions to calibrate the screen.
The clean boot process erases the mobile computer memory,
including all applications and data files in the object store. To
preserve applications through a clean boot, store them in the
Flash File Store. For more information, see “How to Install
Applications on the CS40” on page37.
Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer
52 CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Cleaning the Computer
To keep the computer in good working order, you may need to
perform these minor maintenance tasks:
Clean the imager window.
Clean the computer screen.
Clean the imager window and computer screen as often as needed for
the environment in which you are using the computer. To clean the
computer, use a solution of one part ammonia and 3 parts water.
To clean the imager window and computer screen
1Press ^ to turn off the computer.
2Dip a clean towel or rag in the ammonia solution and wring out
the excess. Wipe off the imager window and screen. Do not allow
any abrasive material to touch these surfaces.
3Wipe dry.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the computer. Opening
the unit will void the warranty and may cause damage to the
internal components.

EA11 Imager Reading Distances
Typical reading distances are done in an office environment using
office lights (4 lux). Minimum distances are measured in the dark
(0 lux). Both reading distances are provided in respective scan engine
integration guides. Contact your local Intermec representative for
more information.
Below are the typical and minimum standard reading distances for
the CS40 built with an EA11 imager. When correctly mounted, an exit
window reduces reading distances by about 4% for all scan engines.
