Using the Battery
The CK3 uses an AB17 standard or AB18 extended battery as its main
power source. The standard battery has an 7.4 Watt hour capacity, and
the extended battery has a 18.8 Watt hour capacity. Several factors
determine the life of your battery, such as extreme temperatures,
input devices, and your usage.
You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CK3. When
you change the battery, an internal super capacitor maintains your
status, memory, and real-time clock for approximately 10 minutes.
The battery 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. Dispose of used batteries
promptly. Keep away from children.
If you fail to replace the low battery immediately, you may lose
important data or applications.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
4 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
For replacement batteries, contact your Intermec representative.
Charging the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the AB17 or AB18 battery before you use
your CK3. You can charge the battery before or after you install it in
the CK3. A fully discharged battery charges in approximately 4 (AB17)
to 7 (AB18) hours.
To charge the battery
•Insert the battery into the battery bay of the AD20 single dock, or
insert up to four batteries into the AC20 quad battery charger.
Or,
•Install the battery in the CK3 and insert the CK3 into the AD20
single dock, AD21 ethernet multidock, AD22 charge-only
multidock, or AV10 vehicle dock.
Use the next table to understand how long it takes to charge your
batteries in each of the CK3 charger or dock accessories.
Removing and Installing the Battery
To maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack, put
the CK3 in suspend mode before removing the battery pack.
Note: If the CK3 is not using external power and you remove the
battery pack, the CK3 goes into Suspend mode.

This chapter contains guidelines for developing
applications for the CK3 and contains these sections:
•Developing Applications for the CK3
•Installing Applications on the CK3
•Freeing Up Virtual Memory for Applications
•Launching an Application Automatically
•Upgrading the System Software
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
52 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Developing Applications for the CK3
The CK3 runs applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studio
2005. You can also use Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 to
program applications, but some features may not be available. Use
this section to understand the hardware and software you need to
develop applications for the CK3.
Use the Intermec resource kits to develop new applications to run on
the CK3. The Intermec resource kits are a library of C++ and .NET
components grouped by functionality that you can use to create
applications for the computer. The resource kits are part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the
Intermec IDL web site at www.intermec.com/idl.
To use the resource kits, you need these hardware and software
components:
•Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or later
•Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home,
Professional, or Server)
•For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio
2005
•128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)
•360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for
complete)
•CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia desktop specification
•VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)
•Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 53
Installing Applications on the CK3
You can install applications on your CK3 using one of these methods:
•Package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.
•Send the .exe file (simple applications, only) to the CK3.
•Copy a directory structure that contains the application,
supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications.
The CK3 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and can install
third-party .cab files. You can program your .cab file to install your
application to one of these memory locations on your CK3:
•Object Store or Flash File Store. The Object Store is a
DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is
an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system
flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although
it may be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to
storing applications and data files, you can also store persistent
registry information to the Flash File Store region.
•Optional microSD card. If you are using a microSD card, this
should be the primary location to place application installation
files. The microSD card creates the Storage Card folder (SDMMC)
on the CK3. For help using a microSD card, see “Using a
microSD Card” on page 21.
•Non-volatile Flash File Store. Use the small non-volatile Flash File
Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot
or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so
that they are “ready-to-run” when you perform a clean boot. The
flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, so do not
use the Flash File Store for excessive writing.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
CK3 as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate
location. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec
Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide available
from www.intermec.com/idl.
When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder
automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
54 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
You can use these methods to install files and applications on your
CK3:

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
56 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
5On your CK3, navigate to the storage card folder and run your
application.
Installing Applications Using the FTP Server
The CK3 has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network through
Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g, or Bluetooth communications. You can use
the server to transfer your application file to the computer. Another
benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to
automate the process of copying your files to the computer. This
option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of
computers.
The easiest way to manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu
within iConnect.
To enable the FTP menu
•Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\ShowFTPMenu
The iFTP menu is available the next time your start iConnect.
To manage the state of the FTP server
•Modify these existing registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpAutoStart
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpHeartbeat
Where 1 = enable and 0 = disable.
Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche
You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to
install applications on all of your wireless CK3 computers. To use
Wavelink Avalanche, you need to install the Avalanche Enabler on
your CK3.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications
CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 57
Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a reset), the
CK3 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CK3
connects to the agent, the agent determines whether an update is
available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or
configuration update.
To remotely manage the CK3 with Avalanche
1Install software packages and updates for the CK3 using the
Avalanche Administrative console.
2Schedule the CK3 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.
Freeing Up Virtual Memory for Applications
You can use the InstallSelect application to free up virtual memory
and create more space to load and run custom applications.
When you free up virtual memory, you reduce the amount of virtual
memory used by portions of the SmartSystems Platform Bundle
(SSPB) by removing value-added software features. Be sure to back up
any related files that you want before you use the InstallSelect
application. For more information on SSPB, see “Upgrading the
System Software” on page 61.
Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the CK3, you
may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche
Enabler. The default password is leave.

The input device
attached to the CK3
does not work well
or read bar code
labels very quickly.
Set the Scanner Model command to the specific
attached input device. Check enabled bar code
symbologies and enable only the symbologies being
used.
When you release
Scan button, the
Good Read LED
does not turn off.
If the CK3 is configured to use continuous/edge
triggering, the Good Read LED stays on.
If the CK3 is configured to use level triggering, there
may be a problem. Press the Scan button or pull the
trigger again without scanning a bar code label. If the
LED is still on, contact your local Intermec
representative.
The scanner does not
read the bar code
label.
•Aim the scanning beam so that it crosses the entire
bar code label in one pass. Try changing the scan
angle.
•Check the quality of the bar code label, Scan a bar
code label that you know scans well. 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 is enabled. For
help, see “Configuring the CK3 With Intermec
Settings” on page 27.
•Make sure the application is accepting input by
scanning a bar code. You may need to type this
information instead.
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.
The scanned bar
code data that
appears in your
application does
not match the data
encoded in the bar
code label.
The CK3 may have decoded the bar code label in a
different bar code symbology. Try scanning the bar
code label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.

Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK3
CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 73
Resetting the CK3
You seldom need to reset the CK3. However, you do need to reset the
CK3 when an application is locked up and does not respond, when
you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CK3. The CK3
uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the
reset process.
There are three ways to reset the CK3:
•Warm boot
•Cold boot
•Clean boot
Warm Booting the CK3
If your CK3 has a charged battery installed but does not resume after
you press the Power key, or if the computer or an application is locked
up, you may need to warm boot the CK3.
To warm boot your CK3
•Press and hold for 5 seconds.
Or,
•From the SmartSystems console, right-click the CK3 and select
Intermec Power Tools > Warm Boot Device.
The CK3 shuts down, restarts, and goes through the initialization
process.
Cold Booting the CK3
If the CK3 or application is locked up and does not respond to a warm
boot, follow this procedure to perform a cold boot.
Performing a cold boot may result in data loss. When you
cold boot the CK3, cached disk data may not be saved, so
transactional data may be lost.
![](/img.php?id=1069221&img=bg54.png)
Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the CK3
74 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
To cold boot your CK3
1Remove the battery.
2Use the stylus to press the reset button in the battery
compartment of the CK3.
3Replace the battery.
Clean Booting the CK3
If the CK3 does not warm boot or cold boot, you may need to perform
a clean boot. When you clean boot the CK3, the CK3 only loads files
and applications that are absolutely required by the operating system.
Perform a clean boot to get the CK3 up and running so that you can
run diagnostic tests to troubleshoot the normal boot process.
Reset button
Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset
button. You may damage the reset button.
The clean boot process erases the CK3 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 “Installing Applications on the
CK3” on page 53.

76 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Cleaning the Scanner Window and Screen
To keep the CK3 in good working order, you may need to perform
these minor maintenance tasks:
•Clean the scanner window.
•Clean the CK3 screen.
Clean the scanner window and CK3 screen as often as needed for the
environment in which you are using the computer. To clean the CK3,
use a solution of ammonia and water.
To clean the scanner window and computer screen
1Press to turn off the CK3.
2Dip 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.
3Wipe dry.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the CK3. Opening the
unit will void the warranty and may cause damage to the internal
components.
