Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Resetting Your Computer

When the CN3 completely stops responding, an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CN3, it may be necessary to perform a reset.

Preferred Reset Method

The recommended method in recovering the CN3 is to press and hold the power switch on the front of the CN3 for about 10 seconds. This performs a graceful system shutdown and no data is lost in the process.

Secondary Reset Method

If performing the preferred reset method does not restore system operation, it may be necessary to press the reset button inside the battery compartment of the CN3. This method does not guarantee that cached disk data will be saved, and as such, transactional data may be lost during the reset. All other data is preserved.

To press the reset button

1 Press the power switch to suspend the CN3.

2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CN3.

3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.

4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the unit.

Reset button

Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button.

You may damage the reset button.

Clean Boot Process

If performing either reset method fails to restore system operation, it may be necessary to perform a clean-boot. This is a boot method which formats the object store to clean data and registry information from the CN3 system and restores them to their factory-default state.

Note: This will erase the memory in the CN3, including all applications and data files found in the object store (user store). See “Packaging Applications for the Computer” on page 78 for more information.

CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

To perform a clean-boot

1 Press the power switch to suspend the CN3.

2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CN3.

3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.

4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the unit.

5Continue to hold the power switch until a Warning message appears on the display, release the power switch, then read the message.

6To continue with the clean-boot, press either right side button. To cancel the clean-boot, press either left side button.

Scanning Bar Codes

Use the area imager to scan and enter bar code data. The CN3 supports reading 1D and 2D images. These bar code symbologies are enabled by default on the CN3: Code 39, Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, and Datamatrix.

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec Settings applet to enable and disable symbologies. See the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N 073529) available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

Scanning with the Area Imager

The CN3 has an area imager that can scan 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. It also supports omni-directional (360°) scanning where you can position the CN3 in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D imager is like taking a picture with a digital camera.

Scan button

To use the area imager

1Press the power switch to turn on the CN3, point the scanner window a few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.

2Press the Scan button and center the red aiming beam over the bar code label. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away.

6	CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

When a bar code label is successfully read, a high beep is emitted and the

Scan LED lights briefly. Release the Scan button.

Good Scan LED

Improving the Performance of the Area Imager

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:

•Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Intermec Settings icon to access the applet.

•Tap (+) to expand Data Collection > Internal Scanner > Imager Settings > Predefined Modes, then select one of the following:

Select this option:		If you are scanning:

1D		only 1D labels

1D and 2D	Standard	all other cases
1D and 2D	Bright Environment	in high ambient light (like outdoors in sunshine)

1D and 2D	Reflective Surface	glossy labels

Select Custom to access all standard imager settings such as “Lighting Goal” or “Lighting Mode.” More information about these settings, commands, and parameters are found in the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

•Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.

•Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still being able to capture the entire bar code.

•Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.

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 CN3s built with integrated scan engines are shown below. When correctly mounted, an exit window reduces reading distances by about 4%.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

Using the Batteries

The CN3 uses replaceable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Standard packs have 8.1 Watt hours capacity; and extended packs have 14.8 Watt hours capacity. You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CN3. When you change the battery, a super capacitor maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least five 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.

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

Note: If the CN3 is not on external power and the battery pack is removed, it will suspend when the battery pack is removed.

When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the spent battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not mix this battery with the solid waste stream. Contact your Intermec Technologies Service Center for recycling or disposal information.

Note: In the U.S.A., the EPA does not consider spent Li-ion batteries as hazardous waste.

Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.

Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage.

The CN3 contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power storage device, that protects state for up to five minutes. This is to give you time to replace the battery pack before state is lost.

To maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack

• Put the CN3 in a suspend mode before removing the battery pack.

Charging the Battery

The battery pack should be fully charged before you use the CN3 for the first time. If temperatures are within the battery charging range of 0° to 45°C (32° to 113°F), the standard battery pack takes up to four hours to charge; the extended battery pack takes up to five hours.

The battery is fully charged when its battery status LED shows a steady green. You can charge the battery pack using a quad battery pack charger, a single dock spare battery pack charge slot, or a CN3 with external power applied.

CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer

The charge/operating power can be applied to the CN3 using an AC wall adapter, a magnetic card reader snap-on, a single dock with ac adapter or auto-lighter adapter attached, a multidock, either charge-only or Ethernet, or an auto lighter adapter.

For information on these accessories, see “Accessories for the Computer” on page 26.

Maximizing Battery Life

Note that batteries are chemical devices. If these are left setting on a shelf for long periods of time outside the CN3, the batteries slowly discharge, eventually to zero if left unchecked. The battery chemistry resists normal degradation if you store the battery in a charger as opposed to leaving the battery in a discharged state. Below are things that you can do to maximize the life of your battery.

To install the battery, insert the tabs on the charged battery into the CN3 and snap the battery into place.

Checking the Battery Status

The Battery Status LED above your CN3 display, as shown in the following illustration, indicates the status of your battery. See the following table to understand the meanings of the lights emitted from the LED.

Battery Status LED

Steady Green	Battery is more than 95% charged and unit is on a charger.
Blinking Red	Battery is low. CN3 goes into suspend mode.
Steady Red	Battery is on charge.
Steady Amber	Either the CN3 is in a dock but is missing its battery; or the
	temperature of the battery pack is too hot or too cold for it to charge.

You can check the battery status by using the Power applet to check the status of the battery as indicated by the percentage of battery charge left in the battery.

To check the Power settings

•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 to store energy.

Understanding the Low Battery Warnings

When the battery charge is getting low (approximately 6.4 to 6.5V), you will receive an audible alert and an initial pop-up “Main Battery Low” warning message.

If the warning is not dismissed, it is followed by another audible alert and a second pop-up “Main Battery Very Low” warning message.

If the battery charge continues to drop, the red battery status LED will blink and the CN3 will enter suspend mode.
