About the 70 Series Mobile Computers
The ergonomically designed Intermec 70 Series Mobile Computers are
built on the Microsoft
®
Windows® Mobile 6.5 operating system. They
are lightweight, easy-to-use, and run most software developed for the
Windows Mobile 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. T he CN70 and CN70e have the
same features except that the CN70e offers extended environmental
specifications and a larger keypad for data-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 phone support.
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’s manual, pictures of the CN70 and CK70 represent
the four models of the 70 Series computers.
