Intermec ck1 Quick Setup Guide

Power
key

Charge the battery using the battery charger. For help, see the instructions that came
with the charger. Or, you can charge the battery after you install it in the CK1 by
placing the CK1 in a dock, as described in Step 8.

Place the CK1 face down on a flat, stable surface.

Push back the battery door latch, and pull up on
the battery door.

Remove the battery door.

Using a straightened paperclip, push the backup
battery switch down to turn on the backup battery.

Aligning the battery contacts with the contacts on the CK1, insert the battery into the
battery compartment.

Install the battery door.

If you did not charge the battery in
Step1, place the CK1 in a multi-
dock, serial dock, or modem dock,
and connect the dock to external
power. For help, see the instructions
that came with the dock.

Let the backup battery charge for 16
hours from the main battery or from
the dock.

Press the Power key.

When the “Format RAM disk?” prompt appears, press F1 to allow the CK1 to format the
RAM disk. For help understanding this prompt, see the CK1 Handheld Computer User’s
Manual.

The screen clears and remains blank for about 30 seconds while the CK1 formats the
RAM disk. A message appears, indicating that the RAM disk has been created.

The CK1 continues booting. The Intermec logo screen appears, followed by the MCL
logo screen. Finally, the CK1 automatically launches your main application.

loaded on your CK1 if you did not order a custom application.

If you ordered a custom application, that application is automatically launched and
your screen looks different than the one shown here.

Press Lock and then press S1. An L appears in the Lock area of the status bar. The

Press a numeric key. The lowercase letters and other characters available for that
key appear on the status bar.

Press the numeric key until the character you want is highlighted, and then press

until the selected character moves to the field before pressing the key again.

Type another character, or press Enter to move to another field.
