Before You Begin

This section provides you with safety information, technical

support information, and sources for additional product

information.

Safety Summary

Your safety is extremely important. Read and follow all warnings

and cautions in this document before handling and operating

Intermec equipment. You can be seriously injured, and

equipment and data can be damaged if you do not follow the

safety warnings and cautions.

Do Not Repair or Adjust Alone

Do not repair or adjust energized equipment alone under any

circumstances. Someone capable of providing first aid must

always be present for your safety.

First Aid

Always obtain first aid or medical attention immediately after an

injury. Never neglect an injury, no matter how slight it seems.

Resuscitation

Begin resuscitation immediately if someone is injured and stops

breathing. Any delay could result in death. To work on or near

high voltage, you should be familiar with approved industrial

first aid methods.

Energized Equipment

Never work on energized equipment unless authorized by a

responsible authority. Energized electrical equipment is

dangerous. Electrical shock from energized equipment can cause

death. If you must perform authorized emergency work on

energized equipment, be sure that you comply strictly with

approved safety regulations.

4 CK31 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

What’s New?

This revision of the user’s manual includes this new information

to support the latest software and hardware release:

• The CK31 now supports Bluetooth communications. For

help, see “Configuring Bluetooth Communications” on page

42.

• 42-key and 50-key keypads are now available. For more

information, see “Using the Keypad” on page 8.

• The CK31 now ships with the SmartSystems™ client that

enables you to use SmartSystems Console to configure, install

applications, and upgrade your CK31s. For more

information, see “Configuring the CK31 With SmartSystems

Console” on page 38 , “Installing Applications Using

SmartSystems Console” on page 74, or “Upgrading Your

CK31 Using SmartSystems Console” on page 79.

• Funk is the new default for security. For help, see

“Configuring Security” on page 46. With the addition of

CCX v2.0 compliance, the CK31 now supports WPA2.

Using the Battery

The CK31 uses a model AB1G (P/N 318-020-001) lithium-ion

battery as its main power source. You must fully charge the main

battery before you can use the CK31. When you change the

battery, a backup battery maintains your status, memory, and

real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.

If the battery light blinks or turns on solid, you cannot restore

factory defaults or perform a warm or cold boot on your CK31

by using the I key. You must replace the battery with a fully

charged battery before you can restore factory defaults or boot

your CK31.
