Managing Power on the CK3
By default, the CK3 goes into suspend mode or turns off after two
minutes of inactivity. Press the Power button to resume activity at
any time. You can manage power based on the usage of your CK3,
with Intermec’s Power Profiler application. Power Profiler provides
three power management settings.
Use the Windows Mobile Classic profile for systems that batch data
and upload it several times a day. This profile only maintains data
connections when the CK3 is on and all peripherals are enabled. If the
screen is off, you do not have any network connections, but the CK3
can still receive incoming phone calls. To wake up the CK3 and restore
network connections, you need to press Power or a Scan button.
Use the Windows Mobile Standard profile for applications that
power off infrequently, such as inventory management or terminal
emulation applications. The Windows Mobile Standard profile lets
the system maintain data connections in a low power state. If there is
no activity on the CK3, the screen turns off. For periods of extended
inactivity, the CK3 eventually turns off the radio connections and
enters the Windows Mobile Classic power management profile.
Use the Windows Mobile Phone profile when you need the CK3 to
always be connected to the network or for systems that require a
network wake-up. Although the connections are maintained at a low
power mode, this setting typically consumes the most power. If the
screen turns off, the radios continue to maintain the network
connections.
