9you can store the plastic cover from the base of the Savi Boot Adapter in the pouch.WARNING: If the CK61G Mobile Computer is removed from the docking station, you must reinstall the plastic cover when using the CK61G Mobile Computer in an incendiary environment.Reader Communication The SMR-650 Reader has an ultra high frequency (UHF) transceiver and low frequency (LF) transmitter that communicate with all Savi RFID tags via the UHF and LF antennas. Your software determines if you use UHF or LF commands.UHF ModeThe UHF transmitter sends commands and write information to Savi RFID tags. In UHF mode, the mobile reader supports single and continuous collection modes.When the mobile reader is in single UHF mode, you can only perform one tag collection within a fixed radius. When the mobile reader is in continuous UHF mode, you can perform multiple tag collections while moving through a facility.The yellow status LED is visible when the SMR-650 reader is receiving a UHF signal and as an indication the tag ID and the information in the data packets is being validated. When the yellow LED flashes, it indicates that the mobile reader received a valid data packet. The yellow LED is only functional when receiving UHF data and is not functional during UHF or LF transmission. You can view the LED through a clear plastic window in the soft case.
Savi SMR 650-216 Quick Reference Guide 10LF ModeLF mode is controlled by the software running on the mobile computer. LF mode is compatible only with Savi tags. To use LF mode, you must turn it on in your software. Refer to SmartChain Mobile 5.3 User Guide.With your software, you can use LF mode to perform short-range communications up to 3 feet (.91 m).

For more information regarding the Intermec CK61G, refer to http://www.intermec.com/products/cmptrck61a/index.aspx. For specific information about the Intermec CK61G Mobile Computer, refer to the documentation included with the device.
17Intermec CK61G Mobile Computer KeysPowerPress the Power button to turn on the Intermec CK61G and start Windows Mobile.When on, pressing the power button puts the Intermec CK61G into a power-saving mode that preserves power to memory and other vital features, but suspends power to most hardware. Press the Power button again to resume normal operation.If the mobile computer stops responding to input or you need to restart a Savi application, you can perform a soft reset. A soft reset restarts the mobile computer and saves all stored records and entries. It cleans up memory occupied by programs running in the background, such as ActiveSync. A soft reset can also address application behavior issues including DLL loading, scan errors, and so forth. The mobile device returns to a stable state. All data that is not saved is lost. To perform a soft reset, hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the mobile computer screen displays Starting Windows, release the Power button.Cursor KeysUse the cursor keys to navigate the mobile computer’s display screen. Delete KeyTo delete a selected character or characters, hold down the orange key and press the CTRL key at the same time.Backspace KeyUse the backspace key, marked with an arrow, to move the cursor back a space and delete the character in the space, if any.For information on the other keys, refer to the Intermec CK61G Mobile Computer Product Reference Guide included with the device.
Savi SMR 650-216 Quick Reference Guide 18Intermec CK61G Mobile Computer KeypadOptimizing the SMR-650 Reader Tag Collection RangeTo optimize the Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650-216 tag collection range, make sure the mobile device is perpendicular to your body. Hold it so the reader is upright at approximately a 45° angle and you can easily see the mobile device screen. With the Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650-216 in this position, you can collect most tags within an omni-directional pattern of 200 feet (61m).
19Factors that can limit the SMR-650-216 reader collection range include:• Obstructions such as multiple walls, chained areas, solid-core doors, and enclosures• RF interference from other equipment such as computers, cellular phones, walkie-talkies, elevators, electrical motors, or other RF-emitting devices• Reflection from the ground and from nearby objects• Position and orientation of the SMR-650 reader• Metal or RF-absorbent surface on the tracked item• Tag location relative to the SMR-650 reader, such as behind a metal obstruction or stacked under multiple layersRadio interference also affects the probability of collecting any given tag, and you can expect some variance in repeatability in the field.
