For information about Windows Mobile 6.1 applications installed on the CK3, refer to the online help.Using the BatteryThe CK3 uses an AB17 standard or AB18 extended battery as its main power source. The standard battery has an 7.4 Watt hour capacity, and the extended battery has a 18.8 Watt hour capacity. Several factors determine the life of your battery, such as extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage.You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CK3. When you change the battery, an internal super capacitor maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for approximately 10 minutes.The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it. Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.If you fail to replace the low battery immediately, you may lose important data or applications.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer4 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualFor replacement batteries, contact your Intermec representative. Charging the BatteryMake sure you fully charge the AB17 or AB18 battery before you use your CK3. You can charge the battery before or after you install it in the CK3. A fully discharged battery charges in approximately 4 (AB17) to 7 (AB18) hours.To charge the battery•Insert the battery into the battery bay of the AD20 single dock, or insert up to four batteries into the AC20 quad battery charger.Or,•Install the battery in the CK3 and insert the CK3 into the AD20 single dock, AD21 ethernet multidock, AD22 charge-only multidock, or AV10 vehicle dock.Use the next table to understand how long it takes to charge your batteries in each of the CK3 charger or dock accessories.Removing and Installing the BatteryTo maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack, put the CK3 in suspend mode before removing the battery pack.Note: If the CK3 is not using external power and you remove the battery pack, the CK3 goes into Suspend mode.Charging Times for CK3 BatteriesCK3 Charging Accessory AB17 Charging Time AB18 Charging TimeAC20 quad battery charger up to 4 hours up to 6 hoursAD20 single dock up to 4 hours up to 6 to 7 hoursAD21 ethernet multidock up to 4 hours up to 7 hoursAD22 charge-only multidock up to 4 hours up to 7 hoursAV10 vehicle dock up to 4 hours up to 7 hours

513Developing and Installing ApplicationsThis chapter contains guidelines for developing applications for the CK3 and contains these sections:•Developing Applications for the CK3•Installing Applications on the CK3•Freeing Up Virtual Memory for Applications•Launching an Application Automatically•Upgrading the System Software
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications52 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualDeveloping Applications for the CK3The CK3 runs applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You can also use Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 to program applications, but some features may not be available. Use this section to understand the hardware and software you need to develop applications for the CK3.Use the Intermec resource kits to develop new applications to run on the CK3. The Intermec resource kits are a library of C++ and .NET components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer. The resource kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the Intermec IDL web site at www.intermec.com/idl.To use the resource kits, you need these hardware and software components:•Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or later•Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Professional, or Server)•For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005•128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)•360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for complete)•CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia desktop specification•VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)•Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing ApplicationsCK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 53Installing Applications on the CK3You can install applications on your CK3 using one of these methods:•Package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.•Send the .exe file (simple applications, only) to the CK3.•Copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The CK3 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and can install third-party .cab files. You can program your .cab file to install your application to one of these memory locations on your CK3:•Object Store or Flash File Store. The Object Store is a DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although it may be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you can also store persistent registry information to the Flash File Store region.•Optional microSD card. If you are using a microSD card, this should be the primary location to place application installation files. The microSD card creates the Storage Card folder (SDMMC) on the CK3. For help using a microSD card, see “Using a microSD Card” on page 21.•Non-volatile Flash File Store. Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when you perform a clean boot. The flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, so do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing.Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the CK3 as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate location. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide available from www.intermec.com/idl. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications54 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualYou can use these methods to install files and applications on your CK3:•SmartSystems Foundation•ActiveSync•microSD card•FTP server•Wavelink AvalancheThe following sections explain how to use each process to install your application on the CK3.Installing Applications Using SmartSystems FoundationYour CK3 is SmartSystems-enabled, which lets you use the SmartSystems console to install Intermec applications on your CK3.

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications56 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual5On your CK3, navigate to the storage card folder and run your application.Installing Applications Using the FTP ServerThe CK3 has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network through Ethernet, 802.11 b/g, or Bluetooth communications. You can use the server to transfer your application file to the computer. Another benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to automate the process of copying your files to the computer. This option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of computers.The easiest way to manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu within iConnect.To enable the FTP menu•Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\ShowFTPMenuThe iFTP menu is available the next time your start iConnect.To manage the state of the FTP server•Modify these existing registry keys:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpAutoStartHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpHeartbeatWhere 1 = enable and 0 = disable.Installing Applications Using Wavelink AvalancheYou can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install applications on all of your wireless CK3 computers.
