Using the CN2B Computer

This chapter introduces the CN2B Mobile Computer, developed by Intermec to enhance wireless connectivity needs. This chapter contains hardware and software configuration information to assist you in making the most out of your CN2B Computer.

Note: Desktop icons and applet icons are shown to the left.

CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 1

Chapter 1 — Using the CN2B Computer

Audio System

Speaker

A speaker capable of variable volume levels is located on the back of the computer. This speaker has a transducer maximum volume of 85 dB at 10 cm, a frequency range of 1 to 8KHz, and a separate volume control.

Speaker

Warning: Do not place the speaker next to your ear when the speaker volume is set to “Loud” (maximum), or you may damage your hearing.

Microphone

External Headset Jack

The built-in microphone is located on the front, left corner of the keypad, to the left of the BkSp and B key.

Microphone

The external headset jack connects a mobile phone style headset to your mobile computer for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm, three-conductor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which disables the internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is located on the top of the mobile computer next to the scanner.

Battery

Chapter 1 — Using the CN2B Computer

The CN2B Computer comes with an 7.95 Watt-hour, 3.7V, 2150mAh, replaceable LiIon battery. To view the status of this battery, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon > the Power tab to view the current status of both the main battery and the backup battery. Tap ok to exit.

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a low battery condition.

Your computer contains an internal supercapacitor, a temporary power storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put

the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.

The lithium-ion battery pack that is 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.

Removing the main battery when the backup battery low or critically low icon appears on the status bar may cause your CN2B Computer to cold boot and you may lose data.

If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important data or applications.

If you have at least one device in your CN2B Computer (radio, scanner, or imager), the battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.

CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual 3

Chapter 1 — Using the CN2B Computer

The configuration and time are lost if:

• The battery discharges beyond this level.

• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.

• A cold reset is performed on the computer.

You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the CN2B Computer, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon > the Battery tab. Drag the top slider bar to the left to change the suspend voltage to favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

Installing and Charging the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your CN2B Computer. To charge the battery, you need to install it in the CN2B Computer.

1 Push down on the battery door latch, pull up on and remove the battery

door, then set it aside.

Removing the Battery

Follow these instructions to remove the battery from the CN2B Computer.

Only use either the stylus or the bottom tabs on the battery door to dislodge and remove the battery. Using any other tool or method to remove the battery may damage the battery or the CN2B Computer.

Removing the main battery when the backup battery low or critically low icon appears on the status bar may cause your CN2B Computer to cold boot and you may lose data.

If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important data or applications.

Maximizing Battery Life

•Set the Backlight Timeout to 10 seconds.

• Verify that Radio Power Management is enabled (Fast PSP). Enabling radio power management allows your radio to switch between awake and sleep modes based on network traffic.

• Verify that each setting under Power Management has a value of 1 minute for a combined automatic shutoff time of 3 minutes.

Beeper

Note: Each time a cold-boot is performed on the CN2B Computer, all default settings are restored unless registry storage is enabled. See page 193 for information about enabling the registry storage.

To learn how to set volume levels for screen taps, ActiveSync alert noises, etc., tap Start > Help > Pocket PC Basics, then select Notifications.

Enabling the Beeper

Tap Start > Settings > the Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications > the Volume tab, then drag the System volume slider bar away from the

“Silent” position.

PSM Build Version

The Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased when a cold-boot is performed. It may, however, erase during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the PSM region.

To determine what PSM Build is on your CN2B Computer, tap Start >

Programs > File Explorer. Access the Flash File Store folder from the My Device root directory, then tap the PSMinfo text file. Tap ok to exit.

10 CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Resetting Your CN2B Computer

Performing a Warm-Boot

Performing a warm-boot may be necessary to correct conditions where an application stops responding to the system. It does, however, unload all running programs.

Press and hold the I/O key for ten seconds, then the CN2B Computer continues from the screen you were at before you performed the warm-boot.

Performing a Cold-Boot

In some cases where the CN2B Computer completely stops responding, it may be necessary to perform a cold-boot. Because this may result in data loss, this procedure is not recommended unless all other recovery methods have failed.
