Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

You press I to turn on the CK31 and nothing happens.

You see a battery critically low icon

( ) on the status bar.

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.

Replace the battery immediately with a fully charged battery or place the CK31, with the battery installed, in a communications dock.

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

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

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

• The CK31 may not be communicating with your access point. Make sure the network name on the

CK31 is the same as the network name (SSID) of the access point you are trying to communicate with.

• Make sure the CK31 is within range of an access point.

• Make sure the CK31 has been confi gured correctly for your network.

Scanning a Bar Code With ScanDemo

Use the ScanDemo application to see how the imager in your CK31 works. If you have a 2D imager, you can hold your CK31 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 CK31 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 CK31 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.
