This storage area is not erased when a clean-boot is performed. It may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry to the SSPB region.To check to see if your CN3 Computer has the latest SSPB or operating system build, do the following:2Note the information beneath the CN3 Version Information title.3Tap the Close icon in the top right corner to exit the Internet Explorer.Resetting Your CN3 ComputerIn cases where the CN3 Computer completely stops responding, an appli-cation is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CN3 Computer, it may be necessary to perform a clean-boot. Note that this will erase the memory in the CN3 Computer.To perform a clean-boot1Press the power switch to suspend the CN3 Computer, then remove the battery pack from the back of the CN3 Computer.2Simultaneously press the power switch in front and (with a stylus) the cold reset switch in the battery cavity in the back.1Select Start > Internet Explorer > the Intermec logo.Cold reset switch
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer4 PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualScanning Bar CodesUse the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. The type of scanner you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. The CN3 Computer supports scanning 2D images.When you unpack the CN3 Computer, the following bar code symbologies are enabled:• Code 39• Code 128•UPC-A•UPC-E•EAN-8• EAN-13• DatamatrixIf you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec Set-tings applet to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. See the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.Scanning with the 2D Area ImagerThe CN3 Computer has the 2D area imager, which scans 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scanning where you can position the CN3 Computer in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D imager is like taking a picture with a digital camera.1Press the power switch to turn on the CN3 Computer, point the scanner window a few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.2Press the Scan button and center the red aiming beam over the bar code label. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away. Scan button
Chapter 1 —  Using the ComputerCN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY 5When the CN3 Computer successfully reads a bar code label, a high beep is emitted and the Scan LED lights briefly.3Release the Scan button.If you have problems scanning a bar code with the 2D imager, try following some of these tips to improve the performance of your imager:• Change to another predefined imager mode:• Select 1D if only 1D labels are needed.• Select 1D and 2D Bright Environment if scanning in high ambient light (such as outdoors in sunshine).• Select 1D and 2D Reflective Surface if scanning glossy labels.• Select 1D and 2D Standard for all other cases.• Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.• Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still being able to capture the entire bar code.• Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.Below are the minimum reading distances for CN3 Computers using the 2D area imager. When correctly mounted, an exit window reduces reading distances by about 4%.Use Intermec Settings to configure these imager commands.

Chapter 1 —  Using the ComputerCN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY 7Using the BatteriesThe CN3 Computer uses a 8.0 Watt-hour standard pack or 14.0 Watt-hour extended pack replaceable Lithium-Ion (LiIon) battery. Standard packs are of 2.2 A Hr, 3.7 VDC; and extended packs are of 4.0 A Hr, 3.7 VDC. You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CN3 Com-puter. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor) maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 5 minutes.Dispose used battery packs promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries. Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme tempera-tures, input devices, and your usage.The CN3 Computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power storage device, that protects state for up to five minutes. This is to give you time to replace the battery pack before state is lost. Be sure to put the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.Charging and Installing the BatteryMake sure you fully charge either the standard or the extended battery pack before you install it in your CN3 Computer. If temperatures are within battery charging range, the standard battery pack takes four hours to charge; the extended battery pack takes five hours. You can charge the battery pack using:• a CN3 Quad Battery Pack Charger• a CN3 Single Dock spare battery pack charge slot• a CN3 Computer with external power appliedThe battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn haz-ard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it.If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important state or applications.Note: If the CN3 Computer is not on external power and the battery pack is removed, it will suspend when the battery pack is removed.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer8 PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualThe charge/operating power can be applied to the CN3 Computer using any of the following. For more information on these accessories, see “Accessories for the CN3 Computer” on page 18.• AC wall adapter• a Magnetic Card Reader Snap-on• a CN3 Single Dock• a CN3 Multidock, either charge-only or Ethernet• a Cigarette Lighter AdapterTo install the battery, insert the tabs on the charged battery into the CN3 Computer and snap the battery into place.Maximizing Battery LifeBelow are things that you can do to maximize the life of your battery.Checking the Battery StatusThe Battery Status LED above your CN3 display, as shown in the follow-ing illustration, indicates the status of your battery. See the following table to understand the meanings of the lights emitted from the LED.When You Want To: Do This to Save Battery Power:Operate the CN3 Computer and the Low Battery status icon appears or the Battery light comes on.Press I to turn off the CN3 Computer. Remove the battery and insert another fully charged battery as quickly as possible or you may lose state. Or, you can insert the CN3 Computer into a powered CN3 Quad Battery Charger.Stop using the CN3 Computer for five minutes or longer.Make sure the low battery icon is not on the screen and that the Battery light is not turned on. Press I to turn off the CN3 Computer.Store CN3 Computers for more than a day. Save your state and end your computer session, press I to turn off the CN3 Computer, then insert a fully charged battery.Steady Green Battery is more than 95% charged and unit is on a charger.Blinking Red Battery is low.Steady Red Main battery is on charge.Steady Yellow The battery is either out of the unit or the pack temperature is too hot or too cold to charge.Battery Status LED

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer12 PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualUsing the Color-Coded KeysEach keypad available for the CN3 Computer provides color-coded keys to let you access additional characters, symbols, and functions printed on the keypad overlay. Once you understand how to use the color-coded keys and key sequences, you can access all of the additional features printed on the keypad overlay. There are two color-coded modifier keys on the numeric keypad: the orange B key and the green C key. The alphanumeric key-pad just has the orange B color-coded modifier key.You press and release the first key, then press and release the second key to access the color-coded character or function printed above a key. Note that there are several hidden characters (such as < or >) on each CN3 keypad that require using the color-coded keys to access them.Capitalizing All CharactersTo type all alphanumeric characters as uppercase letters, you can enable the Caps Lock feature on the CN3 keypad. To enable Caps Lock:•On the alphabetic keypad, press the B key, then the Shift key. Press the same key sequence to disable the Caps Lock.•On the numeric keypad, press the C key, then the A (backspace) key.Using the Power (I/O) SwitchWhen you press the power switch, you actually suspend the CN3 Com-puter.
