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.
Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer
CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 5
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.
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.

guide.
Understanding the Power Key
When you press the Power key to turn off the terminal, you
actually put the terminal in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode,
the terminal continues to supply power to all memory, but turns
off power to most hardware. This power-saving feature is
designed to prolong battery life.
When you press the Power key to turn the CK30 back on, your
computer resumes where it was when you turned it off. If you
are using 802.1x security, the computer may reauthenticate
before it starts your application.
If you have programmed the Resume Execution command, your
CK30 may warm boot and restart your application. For help
with the Resume Execution command, see Chapter 6 of the
CK30 Handheld Computer Configuration Manual.
If your CK30 does not resume after pressing Power, you may
need to warm boot it.
To warm boot the CK30
• Press and hold the Power key for five seconds. The CK30
will tell you it is performing a warm boot and the screen will
come back up to the splash screen or your application.

62 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual
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 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 no network connection icon appears
in the status bar. The CK30 is not
communicating with the access point.
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 re-
establish 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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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
CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 65
Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)
Problem Solution
When you release the Scan button, the
Good Read LED does not turn off.
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 have an input device attached to the
terminal and it cannot read any bar
codes.
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.
The input device attached to the
terminal does not appear to work well or
read bar code labels very quickly.
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.
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 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 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.

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.
