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.

Tips for getting good recognition:

• Write neatly.

• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the baseline.

• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% by selecting Menu > Zoom. Recognition is not good under a 150% zoom.

• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the CN30 Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add is not included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 39

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

Drawing on the Screen

Microsoft ActiveSync

Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical information, and samples:

www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/communities/default.mspx

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop with the information on your CN30 Computer. Synchronization compares the data on your CN30 Computer with your desktop and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CN30 Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your CN30 Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on or off for specific information types.

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your CN30 Computer data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN30 Computer and desktop.

• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on your CN30 Computer.

After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your CN30 Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your CN30 Computer and your desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.

After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your CN30 Computer. Notice that information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CN30 Computer, and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CN30 Computer from your computer and you are ready to go!

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 47

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your CN30 Computer. To switch to ActiveSync on your CN30 Computer, tap Start > Programs > the ActiveSync icon. Note that if you have a wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely from your CN30 Computer.

For future use, this is added to your Start menu in the Recent Programs area, via Start > ActiveSync.

For information about using ActiveSync on your desktop, start ActiveSync on your desktop, and then see ActiveSync Help.

Tap to connect and synchronize

For more information about ActiveSync on your CN30 Computer, switch to ActiveSync, tap Start > Help, then select a topic.

Microsoft Pocket Outlook

Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Messaging, and Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example, you can use e-mail addresses stored in Contacts to address e-mail messages in Messaging.

Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your CN30 Computer. You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your CN30 Computer and desktop or server and updates both computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.

Synchronizing Calendar

Calendar items stored on your CN30 Computer can be synchronized with calendar items on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) Calendar synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.

Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metafiles (pictures).

For information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.

Why Use Categories in the Calendar?

Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then, use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For example, you can easily share your CN30 Computer with another by assigning your appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that project.

What’s an All Day Event?

An appointment can either be a normal appointment or an all day event, which lasts the full day or spans many days. Examples include a trade show, a vacation, or a seminar. You can also use all day events to schedule an annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary. In this case, change the Status box to Free (you may need to scroll to see it) so that it does not show time as busy in your calendar. All day events do not occupy blocks of time in Calendar; they appear in banners at the top of the calendar.

This day was assigned the Holiday category.

Note: You cannot modify or create all-day events with attendees on the CN30 Computer. If you create all day events with attendees on your desktop, use ActiveSync to copy such events to the CN30 Computer, then view them in Calendar.

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

Computer with the My Documents folder for the CN30 Computer on your desktop.

To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your CN30 Computer appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that contain only text appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while notes containing written text or drawings appear in the device format. In addition, all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in Notes on the CN30 Computer.

To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files information type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When you select Files, the My Documents folder for the CN30 Computer is created on your desktop. All .PWI files placed in the My Documents folder on your CN30 Computer and all .DOC files placed in the My Documents folder for the CN30 Computer on your desktop are synchronized. Password-protected files cannot be synchronized.

ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For information on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.

Note: When you delete or change an item on either your desktop or the CN30 Computer, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the next time you synchronize.

Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchronized with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Documents folder for the CN30 Computer.

Messaging: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

To switch to Messaging on your CN30 Computer, tap Start > Messaging.

You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Messaging. Internet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a phone number as the message address.

You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account for each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set up by default. The ActiveSync folder on your CN30 Computer stores messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desktop. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left, under the navigation bar) in the Messaging message list.

CN30 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 67

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the CN30 Computer Inbox and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Messages” below.

When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet card to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line connection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server” on page 69.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

After selecting Messaging for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization:

• Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your CN30 Computer. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.

• Messages in the Outbox folder on your CN30 Computer are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.

• The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your CN30 Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the next time you synchronize.

• Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.

For information on initiating Messaging synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or tap Start > Help, then select a topic.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders

Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the CN30 Computer. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Inbox options you have chosen.

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.

• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchronize with your CN30 Computer. You can select to

68 CN30 Computer Mobile User’s Manual

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile Version 5.0

synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read messages while away from your desktop.

• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the CN30 Computer and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are missing from the CN30 Computer Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the CN30 Computer.

• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your CN30 Computer or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Menu > To o l s > Manage Folders.

Connecting to a Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your CN30 Computer. You need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see “Getting Connected” on page 84.

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the CN30 Computer Inbox folder, messages in the CN30 Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the CN30 Computer Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on your CN30 Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your CN30 Computer.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide
