Intermec ck31cn Quick Setup Guide

Charge the CK31CN battery in one of these two ways by moving to a non-hazardous 
location:

•

  Remove the battery and place it in the AC1 4-Slot Battery Charger or AC3 8-Slot 

Battery Charger. 

•

  Place the CK31CN (with battery installed) in the AD1 1-Bay Communications Dock, 

AD2 4-Bay Communications Dock, or AC2 4-Bay Charging Dock.

Insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the CK31CN and snap the 
battery into place. The battery light on the CK31CN blinks three times and the CK31CN 
turns on.

The CK31CN can have a 52-key full alphanumeric keypad, a 50-key full alphanumeric 
keypad, or a 42-key large numeric and function keypad. Use this illustration to locate some of 
the important keys on your CK31CN. The Power (

I) key may be located in one of two places 

depending on your keypad: the middle of the bottom row of keys or the upper left corner. Use 
the 52-key keypad below for reference if you have a 42-key keypad.

• 

Press and release the 

I key. The CK31CN turns on.

The CK31CN provides color-coded keys to let you access additional characters, symbols, and 
functions printed on the keypad overlay. Once you understand how to use the color-coded 
keys and key sequences, you can access all of the additional features printed on the keypad 
overlay. Make sure you press and release the fi rst key before you press the second key. 

Use an orange character or function printed 
above a key 

Orange 

B key and then the key with the 

character or function printed above it

Use a green character or function printed 
above a key

Green 

C key and then the key with the

stay on

B, C, Ctl, Alt, or Shift key twice

Unlock a green, orange, Shift, Ctl, or Alt key 

B, C, Ctl, Alt, or Shift key once

Use the ScanDemo application to see how the imager or scanner in your CK31CN works. If 
you have a 2D imager, you can hold your CK31CN in any orientation (360°) while scanning bar 
codes and you can read 2D bar code symbologies. Using the 2D imager is very similar to taking 
a picture with a digital camera. 

From the CK31CN desktop, double-tap the ScanDemo icon. The ScanDemo application 
opens on your desktop.

Press the Scan button on the keypad, or pull the trigger on the handle, and center the red 
aiming beam over the bar code label. The imager fl ashes repeatedly. When the CK31CN 
successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep and the green Good Read light 
turns on briefl y.

Release the Scan button or the trigger.

You press 

I to turn on the CK31CN 

and nothing happens. 

The battery may be discharged. Replace the battery 
with a spare charged battery or charge the battery 
and try again.

Make sure the backlight is turned on. Press 

E.

You see a battery critically low icon 
(       ) on the status bar.

Replace the battery immediately with a fully charged 
battery or place the CK31CN, with the battery in-
stalled, in a communications dock.

You use your stylus to tap the 
screen and nothing happens.

Recalibrate your touch screen. To open the calibration 
application, go to Start > Touch Calibrate. Follow the 
directions on the screen.

You are using the 802.11b/g radio 
and the no connection to the 
network icon (        ) appears on the 
status bar. 

•

  The CK31CN may not be communicating with your 

access point. Make sure the network name on the 
CK31CN is the same as the network name (SSID) 
of the access point you are trying to communicate 
with.

•

  Make sure the CK31CN is within range of an access 

point.

•

  Make sure the CK31CN has been confi gured 

correctly for your network. 

After the CK31CN fi nishes booting up for the fi rst time, the Setup Assistant appears. The Setup 
Assistant walks you through the process of setting the time and date and the confi guration 
parameters necessary to connect the CK31CN to your network.

Follow the directions on the Setup Assistant screen to quickly confi gure your CK31CN. If you 
need to set additional parameters or change any parameters you set with the Setup Assistant, 
you can use the Intermec Settings application.

• 

Go to Start > Intermec Settings. 

For help loading your applications on the CK31CN, see the CK31 Handheld Computer User’s 
Manual (P/N 075207).

If you have the TE 2000 terminal emulation application loaded on your CK31CN, it automati-
cally launches after you exit Setup Assistant. The default emulation for TE 2000 is VT340. Use 
this procedure to enter a server address and set the emulation type.

Tap 

 in the lower right corner and select TE2000 Menus. The TE 2000 Main Menu 

appears.

 

Tap Set-up Parms and type cr52401 at the Enter Password prompt.

From the Set-up Parms menu, go to Communication > Direct > Host Setup > Host A.

Type the address of your host and then press Enter twice. You can enter up to 64 
alphanumeric characters.

From the Emulation menu, tap the TE 2000 emulation mode you want to use.

Press Enter until you return to the Main Menu and then tap Exit Menus.

Press Y and then type cr52401 at the Enter Password prompt to exit the TE 2000 setup 
menu.
