Who Should Read This Manual

This manual provides you with information about the features of the CN30 Mobile Computer, and how to install, configure, operate, maintain

and troubleshoot it. Before you install and configure the CN30, you should be familiar with Pocket PC or Windows CE, your network and general networking terms, such as IP address and network naming conventions.

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 3

Chapter 1 — Using the CN30 Mobile Computer

Using the Battery

The CN30 uses a lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CN30. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor) maintains your memory, data and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes.

The 14-key keypad module has a 3.7V 2400 MAh battery that is internal to the module and is not user replaceable.

The 56-keypad module has a removable 3.7V 4800 MAh replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon) battery.

Removing the main battery when the backup battery low or critically low icon displays in the status bar may cause your CN30 to cold boot and you may lose data.

Attention: L’enlèvement de la batterie principale quand le bas de secours de batterie ou les affichages en critique bas d’icône dans la barre de statut peut causer votre CN30 à la botte froide et de vous peut perdre des données.

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.

Avertissement: Le paquet de piles d’ions de lithium qui est utilisé dans cet appareil peut presenter un risque feu ou un risque chimique de brûlure s’il est maltraité. Il ne faut pas le désassembler, le réchauffer à une température plus élevée que 100°C (212°F) ou l’incinérer.

Attention: Si la batterie n’est pas remplacée immédiatement, des données ou applications importantes risquent d’être perdues

Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your local Intermec sales representative for replacement batteries.

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

Charging and Installing the Battery

To charge the battery

Either insert the battery into the CN30 AC9 Quad charger or place the CN30 with battery installed in the AD9 charge dock. For more information

on these accessories, see page 27 ‘Accessories for the CN30’.

The batteries fully charge in approximately 4 hours.

Note: If you do not plan to use the computer for several months, remove the keypad module from the console and store it in the shipping box.

To install the battery

Chapter 1 — Using the CN30 Mobile Computer

Maximizing Battery Life

There are several things that you can do to prolong the life of your fully charged battery.

1 Verify that the backlight timeout is set to 15 seconds.

2 Verify that Power Management has an automatic shutoff time of 3

minutes.

Checking the Battery Status

The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the battery icon in the status bar of your CN30.

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Using the CN30 Mobile Computer

You can also check the battery status by looking at the Battery light on the front of the CN30 or by using the battery diagnostics screen.

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 this information.

Battery Light Flashes red on low battery condition

Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, 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 suspend mode before doing so.

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.

Using the Power (I) Key

When you press the (I) key to turn off the CN30, you actually put the CN30 in Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, the CN30 continues to supply power to all memory, but turns off power to most hardware. This powersaving feature is designed to prolong battery life.

When you press the (I) key to turn the CN30 back on, your computer resumes where it was when you turned it off.

If you are using WPA or 802.1x security, the computer may need to reauthenticate before it starts your application.

If the Battery light flashes and your CN30 does not resume after pressing (I), your battery may be too low to supply power. Replace the battery. If replacing the battery does not solve the problem, see “Resetting your CN30 Mobile Computer” on page 16.
