Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
Learning Software Build Versions
The SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) is an area of storage embedded
in a section of the system’s FLASH memory. 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:
1 Select Start > Internet Explorer > the Intermec logo.
2 Note the information beneath the CN3 Version Information title.
3 Tap the Close icon in the top right corner to exit the Internet Explorer.
Resetting Your CN3 Computer
In cases where the CN3 Computer completely stops responding, an application 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-boot
1 Press the power switch to suspend the CN3 Computer, then remove the
battery pack from the back of the CN3 Computer.
2 Simultaneously press the power switch in front and (with a stylus) the
cold reset switch in the battery cavity in the back.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
Scanning Bar Codes
Use 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
• Datamatrix
If 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 Settings 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 Imager
The 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.
Scan button
1 Press the power switch to turn on the CN3 Computer, point the scanner
window a few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.
2 Press 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.
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
When the CN3 Computer successfully reads a bar code label, a high
beep is emitted and the Scan LED lights briefly.
Good Scan LED
3 Release 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%.

PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
Using the Batteries
The CN3 Computer uses a 8.0 Watt-hour standard pack or 14.0 Watthour 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 Computer. When you change the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor)
maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 5 minutes.
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°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.
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 temperatures, 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 Battery
Make 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 applied
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
