Chapter 1 — About the Computer
About Internal UPS Battery
The CV41 contains an internal UPS battery that is automatically
charged when you place the CV41 in a powered smart dock. The UPS
battery can power the CV41 for a minimum of 30 minutes at -20
(-40
°F) or higher. The UPS battery allows you to continue using the
CV41 when it is not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is
being changed.
If the UPS battery becomes critically low on power, the CV41 performs
a controlled shutdown. You can recharge it by placing the CV41 into
the smart dock. You can fully charge a discharged UPS battery in
approximately 4 hours.
If you plan on shipping the CV41 to a different location, make
sure the internal UPS battery is disconnected. For help, see
“Disconnect the UPS Battery” on page 99.
Maximize the Internal UPS Battery Usage
Adjust the backlight, screen, or computer turn off times to maximize
the internal UPS battery usage. The changes you make to these settings
are cumulative. For example, if you set the backlight and screen turn
off times to 15 sec and the CV41 turn off times to 5 min, the CV41
actually turns off after 5 min and 15 sec.
Note: Disabling the backlight also disables the screen and the CV41
turn off times. Conversely, disabling the screen turn off time also
disables the CV41 turn off times.

Because system performance and antenna polarization are
site-dependent, a permanent mounting location may require some
experimentation. In most fixed installations, you should mount the
antenna initially in a vertically-polarized position, with the cable from
the antenna parallel to the floor and ceiling. For information on
purchasing an antenna, contact your local Intermec sales
representative.

About Wireless Security
The computer provides five types of security for your wireless network:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• 802.1x
• LEAP
• WEP
This section explains how to configure wireless security on your
computer. Intermec recommends that you implement WPA2 security
using PSK (Personal) or 802.1X (Enterprise) key management as
appropriate.
You must use either Funk or Microsoft security to implement your
security solution. For details, see the next section, “Choose Between
Microsoft and Funk Security.” Intermec recommends that you
always implement WPA2 security using PSK (Personal) or 802.1X
(Enterprise) key management.
If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security, this
section also assumes that your authentication server and
authenticators are properly configured.
Chapter 4 — Configure the Computer
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication
server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft
Active Directory® to issue certificates.
Choose Between Microsoft and Funk Security
The computer supports both Funk and Microsoft security, which
dynamically select wireless networks based on your preferences. The
option you choose depends on your network security needs.

Chapter 7 — Enable Screen Blanking
About Screen Blanking
The CV41 supports screen blanking. When motion is detected, a screen
blanking box or switch turns off the computer screen to avoid
uneccessary driver distractions. Once the vehicle is stationary, the
screen turns back on. To enable screen blanking on your computer,
you must purchase one of the following:
• Screen blanking box
• Switch
Intermec recommends that you use the screen blanking box to enable
screen blanking on the CV41. If your vehicle lacks an electrical signal
that detects vehicle motion, use a switch to enable screen blanking.
You can install the switch in a variety of ways, but Intermec
recommends you install a switch that closes when the user presses the
accelerator pedal on a vehicle.
Intermec does not sell a switch for screen blanking, but you can
purchase a screen blanking box from Intermec. For more information,
contact your local Intermec representative.
Install the Hardware for Screen Blanking
This section explains how to install theswitch to enable screen
blanking on your computer. To install the screen blanking box, see the
instructions that came with the screen blanking box.
Installation of the screen blanking box or switch should be done
by trained service personnel only.
Before You Install the Switch
Before you install the switch or relay for screen blanking, you need to
supply power to the vehicle mount computer. For more information,
see the CV41 Vehicle Mounting Kit Reference Guide.
