Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
Resetting Your Computer
When 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 Method
The 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 Method
If 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 button
1 Press the power switch to suspend the CN3.
2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CN3.
3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.
4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the CN3.
Reset button
Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. You
may damage the reset button.
Clean Boot Process
If 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.
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.
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
To perform a clean-boot
1 Press the power switch to suspend the CN3.
2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CN3.
3 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.
4 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in the CN3.
5 Continue to hold the power switch until a Warning message appears on
the display, release the power switch, then read the message.
6 To continue with the clean-boot, press either right side button.
To cancel the clean-boot, press either left side button.
Scanning Bar Codes
Use the area imager to scan and enter bar code data. The CN3 supports
reading 1D and 2D images. These bar code symbologies are enabled by
default on the CN3: Code 39, Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8,
EAN-13, and 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. See the Intermec
Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N 073529) available from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Scanning with the Area Imager
The CN3 has an area imager that can scan 1D and 2D bar code
symbologies. It also supports omni-directional (360°) scanning where you
can position the CN3 in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the
2D imager is like taking a picture with a digital camera.
Scan button
To use the area imager
1 Press the power switch to turn on the CN3, 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.

Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
Using the Batteries
The 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.
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.
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 Battery
The 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.
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
The 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 Life
Note 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.
Battery Conservation Tips
When You Want To:
Do This to Save Battery Power:
Operate the CN3 and the Low Press the power switch to turn off the CN3. Remove the battery and insert another
Battery status icon appears or the fully charged battery within five minutes or you may lose state. Or, you can connect

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

application is disabled or is missing.
This feature is for the SmartSystems Foundation application that is part of a
wireless network using all Intermec devices. See “SmartSystems
Foundation Console (www.intermec.com/SmartSystems)” on page 21 for
more information or contact your Intermec representative.
The left Notification LED lights up with orange to notify you of a pending
alarm or message, such as when you receive an e-mail or set a calendar
reminder.
Using the Storage Card
The CN3 uses a miniSD card to increase file storage and install software.
The miniSD card slot is located under a door that is beneath the battery
pack. Remove the two screws holding the door to reach the miniSD card.
You can corrupt your miniSD card if you do not follow these
installation and removal procedures exactly. Before installing a miniSD
card, inspect the gasket on the door for any damage or wear, and
contact your Intermec representative if any damage or wear is found
Note: The CN3 will reset if the miniSD/SIM door is opened. The screws
to this door must be in place and torqued to 1.5 in-lbs to ensure normal
operation.
To insert the miniSD card
1 Press the power switch to suspend the CN3, then remove the battery
pack from the back of the CN3.
2 Remove the two screws on the miniSD/SIM card slot door.
3 Gently lift the door to the card slot, then with the metal contacts facing
down, insert the miniSD card into the card slot connector until the card
lifts up from the floor of the card slot.
4 Press the miniSD/SIM card slot door down, insert the two screws,
reinsert the battery pack, then press the power switch.

Setting Up GPS on Your CN3
If your CN3 comes equipped with an integrated Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver, it can deliver standards-based National Marine Electronics
Association (NMEA) data strings to GPS applications. However, Intermec
recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) instead of
directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID is a Microsoft software
component that interacts between applications and the GPS hardware.
Using the GPSID allows Intermec support for Extended Ephemeris, which
enhances GPS performance by:
• reducing the amount of time it takes your GPS receiver to acquire a fix.
• eliminating the need to obtain precise satellite data information from the
GPS satellites.
And, as a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also provides these
benefits:
• Allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data
stream.
• Provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to recognize
and parse NMEA syntax.
Using the GPSID Installed on the CN3
To use the GPSID installed on your CN3, you need to configure the
GPSID settings.
To configure your GPSID settings
1 Tap Start, and select Settings.
2 Tap the System tab.
3 Tap GPS. The GPS Settings screen appears.
