CK31G Handheld Computer Quick Start Guide
1Installing and Charging the Battery 2Turning on the CK31G and Finding Keys
Troubleshooting Using the Keypad
Charge the CK31G battery in one of these two ways:
•Remove the battery and place it in the AC1 4-Slot Battery Charger.
•Place the CK31G (with battery installed) in the AD1 1-Bay Communications Dock.
Insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the CK31G and snap the
battery into place. The battery light on the CK31G blinks three times and the CK31G
turns on.
The CK31G keypad is a 52-key full alphanumeric keypad. Use this illustration to locate some of
the important keys on the CK31G. The Power (
I
) key is located in the middle of the bottom row
of keys.
To turn on the CK31G
• Press and release the
I
key. The CK31G turns on.
The CK31G 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 first key before you press the second key.
Understanding How to Use the Color-Coded Keys
You Want to: Press:
Use an orange character or function printed
above a key
Orange Bkey and then the key with the
character or function printed above it

For example, to change the contrast:
• Press Orange Band then Euntil you reach the desired contrast level.
Scanning a Bar Code With ScanDemo
Use the ScanDemo application to see how the imager on your CK31G works. You can hold your
CK31G 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.
To scan a bar code with ScanDemo
From the CK31G 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 flashes repeatedly while it is reading a bar code.
When the CK31G successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep and the green
Good Read light turns on briefly.
Release the Scan button.

(SSID) of the access point you are trying to
communicate with.

access point.

correctly for your network.
