About the 70 Series Mobile Computers
The ergonomically designed Intermec 70 Series Mobile Computers are
built on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld operating
system. They are lightweight, easy-to-use, and run most software
developed for the Windows Embedded platform, including
standalone, client-server, and browser-based applications.
The 70 Series family of computers consists of four different models:
the CN70, CN70e, CK70 and CK71. The CN70 and CN70e have the
same features except that the CN70e offers a larger keypad for
data-input intensive applications. The CK70 and CK71 have most of
the same features, but the CK71 offers a choice of imager options and
does not offer a WWAN radio option (phone). For hazardous
environments, Intermec offers non-incendive (NI) models of each 70
Series computer. Throughout this manual, all versions of the mobile
computer are referred to as 70 Series unless information is specific to
a particular model of computer.
In most of the user manual, pictures of the CN70 and CK70 represent
the four models of the 70 Series computers.

About the Phone
The 70 Series mobile computer supports two types of cellular
technology:
• CDMA
• UMTS
Note: Your Flexible Network Radio mobile computer supports both
CDMA and UMTS technology. Your Flexible Network Radio does not
support Network Information and Time Zone (NITZ) messages to
automatically set the system time.
Phone features on the computer include a speaker and a microphone.
You can also use a Bluetooth headset or hands-free kit. The phone
feature is enabled by default on WWAN-equipped mobile computers.
After you turn on the phone and activate service with your wireless
carrier, you can customize the phone features and network settings.
For more information, see the online help on your mobile computer.

Use GPS
The 70 Series computer comes equipped with an integrated

About the Integrated GPS on Your Computer
Intermec recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver
(GPSID) instead of directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID is
a Microsoft software component that interacts between applications
and the GPS hardware.
As a Microsoft software component, the GPSID:
• allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data
stream.
• provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to
recognize and parse NMEA syntax.
Use the GPSID Installed on the Computer
To use the GPSID installed on your mobile computer, you need to
configure the GPSID settings.
1 Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS. The GPS Settings
screen appears with Programs selected.

About the GPS Module Operating Modes
Chapter 5 — Use GPS
The integrated GPS module has three operating modes:
• Standalone
• MS Assisted (Mobile Station Assisted)
• gpsOneXTRA™ (UMTS computers only)
In Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS satellites to
determine position.
In MS Assisted mode, the computer can determine position without
receiving GPS signals directly from satellites; instead, the computer
receives GPS signals and information provided by the cellular network.
Even when the computer can receive a satellite signal, MS Assisted can
improve position accuracy and reduce the time to determine initial
position (Time-To-First-Fix). Check with your cell phone carrier for
availability and pricing for MS Assisted service.
70 Series Mobile Computer User Manual 71
Chapter 5 — Use GPS
Qualcomm’s gpsOneXTRA Assistance technology provides enhanced
operation for Standalone GPS. This option enables the UMTS-enabled
computer to automatically download a small assistance data file from
the XTRA servers through a brief internet access session. To use this
option, you must have a valid and activated WAN data connection.
Note: Internet connection fees may apply.
Another option you can configure with iGPS is the fix interval. The fix
interval defines how often the GPS should provide new information.
Larger intervals use less power, but many applications require small
intervals to work correctly. The default for fix interval, in seconds, is 4.
The Flexible Network Radio has a maximum interval of 4.
Improve GPS Performance on the Computer
Use the iGPS application to improve the performance of the GPS on
your CN70, CN70e, or CK70 computer.
Note: Anytime you change the GPS settings, the phone module
automatically resets.
1 Go to Start > Settings > System > iGPS.
2 In the Fix Interval tab, enter a value for the fix interval. The default
setting is 4 and should be optimized for most applications.
3 Tap the Fix Type tab and select one of these options: Standalone
(1), MS assisted (2), or Enable gpsOneXTRA (check box).
4 Tap OK.

set for these parameters determine how the computer operates.
There are several ways to configure the computer:
• Directly on the computer. You can use Intermec Settings directly
on the computer to change only the settings on that computer. For
more information, see the next section, “Use Intermec Settings
on the Computer.”
• Remotely using Intermec SmartSystems. When you use
SmartSystems, you can remotely configure all of your 70 Series
mobile computers as well as other SmartSystems-enabled Intermec
computers and peripherals. For more information, see “Use
Intermec Settings Remotely with SmartSystems” on page 82.
• You can use a third-party device management product that
supports the computer and Intermec Settings, such as Soti
MobiControl or Wavelink Avalanche. For more information, visit
the Device Management page on the Intermec website.
You can also configure the computer with configuration bundles that
you create using SmartSystems Foundation. For more information,
see the SmartSystems Foundation Online Help.
