Chapter 1 — Using the ComputerCN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 5Resetting Your ComputerWhen the CN3 completely stops responding, an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CN3, it may be necessary to perform a reset.Preferred Reset MethodThe recommended method for recovering the CN3 is to press and hold the power switch on the front of the CN3 for about 10 seconds. This performs a graceful system shutdown and no data is lost in the process.Secondary Reset MethodIf performing the preferred reset method does not restore system operation, it may be necessary to press the reset button inside the battery compartment of the CN3. This method does not guarantee that cached disk data will be saved, so transactional data may be lost during the reset. All other data is preserved.To press the reset button1Press the power switch to suspend the CN3.2Remove the battery pack from the back of the CN3.3With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.4Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the CN3.Clean Boot ProcessIf performing either reset method fails to restore system operation, it may be necessary to perform a clean-boot. This is a boot method which formats the object store to clean data and registry information from the CN3 system and restores them to their factory-default state.Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. You may damage the reset button.Note: This will erase the memory in the CN3, including all applications and data files found in the object store (user store). See “Packaging Applications for the Computer” on page 76 for more information.Reset button

Chapter 1 — Using the ComputerCN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 9Using the BatteriesThe CN3 uses replaceable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Standard packs have 8.1 Watt hours capacity and extended packs have 14.8 Watt hours capacity. You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CN3. When you change the battery, a super capacitor maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least five minutes.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 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. To maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack• Put the CN3 in a suspend mode before removing the battery pack.Charging the BatteryThe battery pack should be fully charged before you use the CN3 for the first time. If temperatures are within the battery charging range of 0° to 45°C (32° to 113°F), the standard battery pack takes up to four hours to charge; the extended battery pack takes up to five hours. The battery is fully charged when its battery status LED shows a steady green. You can charge the battery pack using a quad battery pack charger, a single dock spare battery pack charge slot, or a CN3 with external power applied.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 is not on external power and the battery pack is removed, it will suspend when the battery pack is removed.When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the spent battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not mix this battery with the solid waste stream. Contact your Intermec Technologies Service Center for recycling or disposal information.Note: In the U.S.A., the EPA does not consider spent Li-ion batteries as hazardous waste.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer10 CN3 Mobile Computer User’s ManualThe charge/operating power can be applied to the CN3 using an AC wall adapter, a magnetic card reader snap-on, a single dock with ac adapter or auto-lighter adapter attached, a multidock, either charge-only or Ethernet, or an auto lighter adapter. For information on these accessories, see “Accessories for the Computer” on page 190.Maximizing Battery LifeNote that batteries are chemical devices. If these are left setting on a shelf for long periods of time outside the CN3, the batteries slowly discharge, eventually to zero if left unchecked. The battery chemistry resists normal degradation if you store the battery in a charger as opposed to leaving the battery in a discharged state. Below are things that you can do to maximize the life of your battery.Removing and Installing the BatteryTo remove the battery, press the battery release tab to the left until the battery is released from the CN3, then lift it away.Battery Conservation TipsWhen You Want To: Do This to Save Battery Power:Operate the CN3 and the Low Battery status icon appears or the Battery light comes on.Press the power switch to turn off the CN3. Remove the battery and insert another fully charged battery within five minutes or you may lose state. Or, you can connect the CN3 to an external power source.Stop using the CN3 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 the power switch to turn off the CN3.Store CN3s for more than a day. If you are storing the CN3 for a few days, like over the weekend, install the charged battery or attach the CN3 to a power source.If you are storing the CN3 for longer, remove and charge the battery, then store both the battery and the CN3 in a cool location.If the battery in storage is not used in several months, you should recharge the battery to keep it at its performance peak, Store the battery outside the CN3.Store the batteries in a charger.Battery Release Tab
