Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
CK61 Mobile Computer with Windows Mobile User’s Manual 19
Using the Color-Coded Keys
Each keypad available for the CK61 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 will know how to access all of the additional features printed
on the keypad overlay. There are two color-coded modifier keys on the
CK61: the orange B key and the green C key.
You press and release the first key, then press and release the second key to
access the color-coded character or function printed above a key. Note that
there are several hidden characters (such as < or >) on each CK61 keypad
that require using the color-coded keys to access them.
Capitalizing All Characters
To type all alphanumeric characters as uppercase letters, you can enable the
Caps Lock feature on the CK61 keypad.
To enable Caps Lock on the 58-key keypad
•Press the B key, then the Space key. Press the same key sequence to
disable the Caps Lock.
Using the Power Key
When you press the power button to turn off the CK61, you actually put
the CK61 in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, the CK61 continues to
supply power to all memory, but turns off power to most hardware. This
power-saving feature is to prolong battery life.
When you press the power button to turn the CK61 back on, your
computer resumes where it was when you turned it off.
If the Battery LED flashes and the CK61 does not resume after pressing the
power button, your battery may be too low to charge. Replace the battery.
Programming the Side Scan Buttons
The left and right side buttons are part of the keypad on the CK61 series
computers. Because they buttons are part of the keypad, you can use the
Keyboard Remapper API to reprogram these buttons.
The Keyboard Remapper API is part of the Device Resource Kit that you
can find at the Intermec Developer Library download site (http://
www.intermec.com/IDL). From this page, click Developer Resource Kits
to learn more.
Turning on the Keypad Backlight
With the CK61, you can light up the keypad to work in low light settings.
This backlight can stay lit until you disable it, or be set on a timer to dim or
turn off after so many seconds of inactivity.
