About Language Provisioning
You are prompted to select a language provision when the computer
starts for the first time. It may take up to 15 minutes to load your
language. Once loaded, your selected language will persist through all
boot scenarios (warm, cold, or clean).
Make sure you select the correct language before you tap Provision. If
you need to change the language provisioning, you must reinstall the
operating system and restart the computer. When the computer
restarts, select your new language.
About the Battery
The CN51 uses a Model 1015AB01 battery as its main power source.
The battery has a 14.4 Watt hour capacity. Several factors determine
the life of your battery, such as display brightness, display timeout,
input devices, extreme temperatures, and your usage.
Fully charge the battery before you use the CN51. When you change
the battery, the computer automatically goes into a power-off state
and then cold boots.
Caution: The battery used in this device may present a fire or
chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it,
heat it above 100 ºC (212 ºF) or incinerate it. Dispose of used
batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.
Charge the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery (Model 1015AB01) before you
use your CN51. You can charge the battery before or after you install it
in the CN51. A fully discharged battery charges in approximately 6
hours.
•Insert the battery into a quad battery charger, a single dock, or a
multidock, or attach external power to the CN51 with the battery
installed.
The battery is fully charged when the battery status LED shows a
steady green.

About the Phone
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.
The WAN radio in your computer determines the supported network
types:
•If your computer includes the UMTS/HSPA+ WAN radio, you can
connect to UMTS networks in all regions supporting this
technology.
•If your computer includes the Flexible Network Radio, you can
connect to CDMA or UMTS networks in all regions that support
these technologies. The Flexible Network Radio is a
software-defined radio (SDR) that can be configured for CDMA or
UMTS depending on your wireless communication needs.
Intermec currently supports these CDMA network carriers:
•Sprint (United States only)
•Verizon (United States only)
For other carriers, contact Intermec Product Support.
After you turn on the phone and activate service with your wireless
carrier, you can customize the phone features and network settings.
Note: Both WAN radios support Network Information and Time
Zone (NITZ) messages to automatically set the system time.
Activate the UMTS Phone
You use a SIM card to activate the UMTS phone on the CN51. You can
purchase the SIM card from your network provider.
1 Press to turn off the CN51.
2 Disconnect the handstrap from the top of the computer.

About Worldwide UMTS

the generic Worldwide UMTS remains. After you perform a clean boot,
you can find more information about Worldwide UMTS by tapping
To activate the CDMA phone in your mobile computer, you need to
contact your wireless carrier and set up an account.
You also need to provide the carrier with the Mobile Equipment
Identifier (MEID) for the computer. You can find the MEID:
•on a label located in the battery compartment.
•on the outside of the computer shipping box.
Note: For the CDMA phone, settings are permanently stored in the
WAN radio after activation. CDMA settings persist through a cold
boot.
The activation process is slightly different for each CDMA carrier.
Your carrier sales contact and an Intermec representative can guide
you through the process. In general, you activate the CDMA phone as
follows:
1 Contact your wireless provider and give the provider the MEID for
the computer.
2 If your carrier is Sprint, reboot the computer. As soon as the Sprint
network detects your phone, Hands-Free Activation (HFA) begins,
and a series of notification messages appear. When activation is
complete, a completion message appears and the WAN radio
reboots. The phone is ready to use.
If your carrier is Verizon, tap Start > Phone, enter *228 on the
phone keypad, and press Talk. After a short wait, a message
appears, confirming either success or failure of the activation. After
successful activation, the phone is ready to use.
3 (Optional) If you plan to use the network for data connections
(such as browsing the web), you should enable automatic
configuration of carrier settings in Intermec Settings.

How To Read Bar Codes With the Camera
You can use the camera to read bar codes. When you read bar codes
with the camera, the computer treats the camera as it would any input
device, such as a Bluetooth scanner, and bar code data is sent to an
application as if it came from a scanner or imager.
There are two ways to enable reading bar codes with the camera:
•You can use the Profile Settings application to enable bar code
reading. The computer uses the current symbology decode settings
to read bar code data.
•You can configure individual parameters in Intermec Settings to
enable bar code reading.
Note: To read bar codes using the camera, you must use Intermec Settings to
configure bar code symbology decode settings.
Enable or Disable Reading Bar Codes With the Camera
You use the Profile Settings application to enable or disable reading
bar codes with the camera. Reading bar codes with the camera is
disabled by default.
Note: You can also enable reading bar codes by setting parameters in
Intermec Settings.
1 Tap Start > ProfileSettings.
2 Tap Camera.
3 In the Camera menu, tap Enable bar code scan or Disable bar
code scan as necessary.
4 Tap OK.
Read Bar Codes With the Camera
After you enable reading bar codes with the camera, the computer
sends bar code data to applications as keyboard input.
1 Start the application that is to receive the bar code data.
62Document Title
2 Position the computer about 20 cm (8 in) over the bar code you
DRAFT
want to read. Make sure nothing is blocking the camera lens.

capability (WWAN radio). The GPS receiver can deliver
standards-based National Marine Electronics Association
(NMEA) data strings to GPS applications.

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 hardware 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.
2 Select the COM port that you want your program to use to get GPS
data from your computer.
3 Tap Access in the horizontal scroll bar and select the Manage GPS
automatically check box.

About the GPS Module Operating Modes
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.
Chapter 5 — Use GPS
Note:The CN51 also supports GLONASS.
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.
Document Title71
Chapter 5 — Use GPS
DRAFT
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 provides 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 computer. Any time you change the GPS settings, the phone
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).
Note: GLONASS reception is enabled by default. Intermec
recommends that you keep GLONASS enabled for better accuracy. To
disable GLONASS, make sure that Enable Glonass is not selected.
