Note: Desktop icons and applet icons are shown to the left. Any place that Start is mentioned, tap the following Windows icon in the top, left corner of your CN3 desktop.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Introducing the CN3 Mobile Computer The Intermec CN3 Mobile Computer is a small, ergonomically designed mobile computer built on the Microsoftr Windowsr Mobile 5.0 operating system. It is a lightweight, easy-to-use, reliable computer that runs client/ server applications, terminal emulation applications, as well as browserbased applications.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Learning Software Build Versions The SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) is an area of storage embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased when a clean-boot is performed. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the SSPB region.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Scanning Bar Codes Use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. The type of scanner you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. The CN3 Computer supports scanning 2D images.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer When the CN3 Computer successfully reads a bar code label, a high beep is emitted and the Scan LED lights briefly. Good Scan LED 3 Release the Scan button. If you have problems scanning a bar code with the 2D imager, try following some of these tips to improve the performance of your imager: • Change to another predefined imager mode: • Select 1D if only 1D labels are needed.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Reading Distances Typical reading distances are done in an office environment using office lights (4 lux). Minimum distances are measured in the dark (0 lux). Both reading distances are provided in respective scan engine integration guides. Contact your Intermec representative for more information. The minimum standard reading distances for CN3 Computers built with integrated scan engines are shown on the next pages.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer Using the Batteries The CN3 Computer uses a 8.0 Watt-hour standard pack or 14.0 Watthour extended pack replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon) battery. Standard packs are of 2.2 A Hr, 3.7 VDC; and extended packs are of 4.0 A Hr, 3.7 VDC. You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CN3 Computer. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor) maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 5 minutes.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer The charge/operating power can be applied to the CN3 Computer using any of the following. For more information on these accessories, see “Accessories for the CN3 Computer” on page 18. • AC wall adapter • a Magnetic Card Reader Snap-on • a CN3 Single Dock • a CN3 Multidock, either charge-only or Ethernet • a Cigarette Lighter Adapter To install the battery, insert the tabs on the charged battery into the CN3 Computer and snap the battery into place.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer You can use the Power applet to view the status of this battery. Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon, then tap the Battery tab. Note: The Backup battery option shown in the Battery tab refers to the super capacitor used by the CN3 Computer to store energy. Adjusting the Beeper For information about setting volume levels for screen taps, ActiveSync alert noises, etc., tap Start > Help.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer 3 Tap the Volume icon at the top of the screen, tap On, then move the slider bar to your desired level.
