The ergonomically designed Intermec 70 Series Mobile Computers are
built on the Microsoft® Windows® Mobile 6.5 operating system. They
are lightweight, easy-to-use, and run most software developed for the
Windows Mobile platform, including standalone, client-server, and
browser-based applications.
The 70 Series family of computers consists of four different models:
the CN70, CN70e, CK70 and CK71. T he CN70 and CN70e have the
same features except that the CN70e offers extended environmental
specifications and a larger keypad for data-intensive applications. The
CK70 and CK71 have most of the same features, but the CK71 offers a
choice of imager options and does not offer phone support.
Throughout this manual, all versions of the mobile computer are
referred to as 70 Series unless information is specific to a particular
model of computer.
In most of the user’s manual, pictures of the CN70 and CK70 represent
the four models of the 70 Series computers.

Using GPS
The 70 Series computers come equipped with an integrated
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. It can deliver
standards-based National Marine Electronics Association
(NMEA) data strings to GPS applications.
Chapter 5 — Using GPS
56 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
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 software component that interacts between applications
and the GPS hardware. The GPSID supports 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.
As a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also:
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 Computer
To use the GPSID installed on your mobile computer, you need to
configure the GPSID settings.
To configure your GPSID settings:
1Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS. The GPS Settings
screen appears with Programs selected.

Improving GPS Performance on the Computer
Use the iGPS application to improve the performance of the GPS on
your CN70, CN70e, or CK70 computer. The integrated GPS module
has three operating modes:
Standalone
MS assisted
gpsOneXTRA™
In Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS satellites to
determine position.
In MS Assisted mode, the comptuer 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.
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.
Another option you can configure with iGPS is the fix interval. The fix
interval defines how often the GPS should provide new information.
Larger intervals use less power, but many applications require small
intervals to work correctly. The default for fix interval is 4.
To improve GPS performance:
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.

If you are using WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x, or 802.1x security, this
section also assumes that your authentication server and
authenticators are properly configured.
Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security
The 70 Series supports both Funk and Microsoft security, which
dynamically select wireless networks based on your preferences. The
option you choose depends on your network security needs.
If you are using the 70 Series in a static environment that requires
a high level of security, you should use Funk security, which offers
CCX v4.0 compliance, support for LEAP and TTLS, and
configuration for up to four profiles.
To use Funk security, you need to select a profile. For help, see the
next section, “Choosing Between Microsoft and Funk Security.”
If you are primarily using the 70 Series to connect to Wi-Fi
hotspots, you may want to use Microsoft security.
To use Microsoft security, you need to select it as your security
choice. For help, see “Selecting Microsoft as Your Security
Choice” on page 82.
Selecting a Funk Security Profile
You can define up to four profiles for Funk security. Different profiles
let your 70 Series communicate in different networks without having
to change all of your security settings. For example, you may want to
set up one profile for the manufacturing floor and one for the
warehouse. By default, the active profile is Profile 1.
Note: Your security choice does not depend on your authentication
server. For example, you can choose Funk security if you use Microsoft
Active Directory® to issue certificates.
Note: You can also use the Profile Wizard to configure most wireless
security settings. To start the Profile Wizard, tap the iConnect icon in
the lower right corner of the Today screen and select Tools > Wireless
Settings.

Managing the Computer
Use this chapter to learn how to remotely update, configure,
and monitor your Intermec mobile computers. You will also
find information on installing and developing software
applications as well as how to upgrade the system software.
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
92 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Managing the Computer in Your Network
When you have multiple mobile computers and peripherals in your
network, it is essential to have an easy way to manage updates,
configure all of the devices, and remotely troubleshoot problems.
Intermec provides a free device management software platform called
SmartSystems to help you manage your devices. You can also purchase
third-party device management software through a vendor.
Managing the Computer Using SmartSystems
Intermec's SmartSystems™ Foundation is a software platform that
lets you manage all of your SmartSystems-enabled devices
simultaneously from a central server. The SmartSystems console
displays all SmartSystems-enabled computers and peripherals in your
network.
Intermec SmartSystems Foundation Console
Through the Console, you can:
drag-and-drop configuration bundles, operating system updates,
and firmware upgrades to multiple computers.
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 93
save configuration settings from a single device and deploy those
settings to many devices simultaneously.
remotely change settings on SmartSystems-enabled computers and
peripherals.
The SmartSystems console can report on asset locations and battery
status, making it easier to manage your mobile devices.
With an AutoDeploy license, SmartSystems can automatically push
software, configuration settings, and other files to connected mobile
computers. The license also enables Scan-to-Connect, which makes
connecting additional mobile computers to your wireless network as
easy as reading bar codes. SmartSystems Foundation can be
downloaded at no charge from the Intermec web site. For more
information, visit www.intermec.com\SmartSystems. To purchase
an AutoDeploy license, contact your local Intermec sales
representative.
Managing the Computer Using Third-Party Software
You can use third-party software such as Wavelink Avalanche to
centrally manage your Intermec devices. Device management software
enables you to update software, increase security, track your assets,
and troubleshoot devices remotely. You can download the Wavelink
Enabler for the CS40 from the Wavelink web site. For more
information, visit the Intermec web site and search for Wavelink
Avalanche or visitwww.wavelink.com to download the enabler.
Developing and Installing Applications
Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the
mobile computer. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java,
and web components grouped by functionality that you can use to
create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.
For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource
Kit Developer’s Guide.
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
94 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Packaging Your Application
For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file
you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to install.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The
computer uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install
third-party .cab files.
Choosing a Target Location
You can have your .cab file place your application in any of these
memory locations on the mobile computer:
The ObjectStore.
The optional microSD card. Depending on available disk space,
you may want to consider installing your application files on the
microSD card. Using a card creates the Storage Card folder on the
computer.
The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the
Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate
location. When AutoRun is installed on the computer, all .cab files in
the CabFiles folder are automatically extracted after a cold boot. For
more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer
Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.
Installing Applications Using SmartSystems Foundation
Console
You can use the SmartSystems console to drag-and-drop Intermec
applications onto your mobile computer. The console is part of
SmartSystems Foundation.
1Download your application file from the Intermec web site and
unzip it on your desktop PC.
Note: The Flash File Store may be erased if you reflash the image.
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 95
2Double-click the application file to install it. The application file
should appear in the Software Vault.
3From the SmartSystems console in the Software Vault,
drag-and-drop the application onto each mobile computer in your
network, or drop the application on a group of computers
contained in a folder.
Installing Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSync
When you only have a few computers to update with applications, you
can copy files using Microsoft ActiveSync. This procedure assumes
that Microsoft ActiveSync is installed on your PC and is up and
running.
1Connect to the mobile computer via ActiveSync.
2Copy the .cab files from your development PC to the computer.
3Warm boot or cold boot the computer.
4After the boot process is finished, browse to the .cab files and tap
the files to install them.
Installing Applications Using a Storage Card
Use a storage card to install applications on one computer at a time or
if you have no network connection.
To install applications using a storage card:
1Copy your application file to the storage card.
2Install the storage card in the mobile computer.
3On the mobile computer, browse to the Storage Card folder and
run your application.
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
96 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Installing Applications Using the FTP Server
The mobile computer has a built-in FTP server that connects to a
network through Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g/n, or WAN (Wireless Access
Network). You can use the server to transfer your application file to the
computer. Because you can create FTP scripts to automate the process
of copying files to the computer, this option is useful when you need
to send files to a large number of computers. The easiest way to
manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu within iConnect.
To enable the FTP server:
Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Setting
s
\ShowFTPMenu
The iFTP menu is available the next time you start iConnect.
To manage the state of the FTP server, modify these existing registry
keys where 1 = enable and 0 = disable:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings
\FtpAutoStart
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings
\FtpHeartbeat
Launching Applications Automatically
There are two ways to launch an application automatically on a cold
boot:
Set up your .cab file to place a shortcut to the application in the
\Windows\StartUp directory at install time.
Use AutoRun.exe to start your application at boot time. AutoRun
ships on the computer and automates other operations.
At boot time, AutoRun executes any commands found in its data file,
AutoRun.dat. Follow the next procedure to create this data file for
your mobile computer.
For more information on AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer
Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 97
To configure AutoRun:
1In Notepad, create a file called AutoUser.dat.
2Write this command in the file:
RUN “Path\AppName.exe” arg1, arg2, arg3
where:
Path is the path to the directory where the application resides.
AppName.exe is the application name.
arg1, arg2, and arg3 are optional command line arguments.
For example, to launch MyProgram.exe located in the Flash File
Store, the command is EXEC “Flash File
Store\Apps\MyProgram.exe”.
Because AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first
parameter, you can specify path names or file names containing
white spaces. AutoRun only supports one set of quotes per
command.
3Copy AutoUser.dat to the \Windows\Startup directory on the
mobile computer.
Updating the System Software
The mobile computer uses Image Update to update the operating
system (OS) and the system software. Image Update uses incremental
packages to allow for smaller and faster updates because the contents
are stored in flash ROM.
Update packages persist through a cold or clean boot and cannot be
removed by the end user. The Image Update process also provides
strengthened security because all packages are signed. Image Update
packages (.pkg or .pks files) may contain elements such as DLLs,
executable (.exe) files, and .cab files.
You can use either of these methods to update your mobile computer:
You can update multiple computers at the same time using the
SmartSystems Console. For help, see the next section,
Chapter 7 — Managing the Computer
98 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
You can update individual computers by transferring the packages
to the mobile computer and then installing them from the mobile
computer.
If you are using SmartSystems Console to update the computer, you
can purchase a Provisioning License to send the Image Update silently.
For more information, see “Sending the Image Updates Silently” on
page 99.
Updating Multiple Computers Using SmartSystems Console
You can use the SmartSystems console to update the operating system
or system software on your mobile computer. The console is part of
SmartSystems Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site

Chapter 8 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer
70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 111
Finding Your Configuration Number
Use the following procedure to help you find the configuration
number of your computer.
Look at the label on the back of the computer.
Finding Your Operating System Version
Use the following procedure to help you find your mobile computer’s
OS version.
1Press the Intermec Dashboard (m) button to launch the
Dashboard.
2Tap the Information bar. The Information Details page appears
and displays information such as the firmware version and the OS
version.
Resetting the Computer
You rarely need to reset the computer. If the computer does not
resume after pressing the Power button, or if the computer or an
application locks up, you may need to reset the computer. The 70
Series computer uses the configuration currently saved in flash
memory during the boot process. There are three ways to reset the
computer:
Reboot
Cold boot
Clean boot
Rebooting the Computer
You may need to reboot the computer to correct conditions where an
application stops responding to the system.
To reboot the computer:
Press the Power button and select Reboot from the menu.
The computer systematically shuts down, restarts, and goes
through the initialization process.
Chapter 8 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer
112 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Cold Booting the Computer
In some cases where the computer completely stops responding, it may
be necessary to perform a cold boot or hard reset. Because cold booting
may result in data loss, use this method only if all other recovery
methods have failed.
To cold boot your 70 Series computer:
1Press the Power button to suspend the computer.
2Remove the handstrap and the battery pack.
3Press the Reset button in the battery compartment on the back of
the computer.
4Replace the battery and the handstrap. The mobile computer
boots. When the cold boot is complete, the Home screen appears.
Note: Cold booting the computer does not guarantee that cached disk
data will be saved, so transactional data may be lost during the reset.
All other data, such as configuration and network settings, is
preserved.
Reset button
Chapter 8 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer
70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual 113
Clean Booting the Computer
If the computer seems to be locked up, try cold booting it. If this
process does not work, use a clean boot to get the computer up and
running for further troubleshooting. You can clean boot using the
mobile computer, or you can clean boot using the SmartSystems
Console:
To clean boot the computer using the mobile computer:
1Remove the battery pack from the back of the computer.
2With a stylus, press the Reset button in the battery cavity.
3Insert the battery back into the computer, and immediately
press and hold the Power button and Volume Down button
(the lower button on the right side).
4Continue to hold the Power button and the Volume Down
button down until you are prompted to release them.
5Press the Volume Up button on the right side to start the cold
boot.
6Wait for the computer to load files from its ROM.
To clean boot the computer using the SmartSystems Console, right
click on the 70 Series computer and select Intermec Power Tools
> Clean Boot Device.
A clean boot erases the memory in the mobile computer,
including all applications and data files found in the ObjectStore,
and loads only the default files and programs required by the
computer operating system.
During a clean boot, the computer first looks for the Image
Update files on an installed microSD card. If no card is found, the
computer loads the files in the Flash File Store. Files found on a
microSD card during a clean boot are copied into the Flash File
Store and overwrite the existing files.
Chapter 8 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Computer
114 70 Series Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Cleaning the Computer
To keep the computer in good working order, you may need to clean
the imager window, color camera window, and the touch screen. Clean
the windows and the touch screen as often as needed for the
environment in which you are using the computer. To clean the
computer, use a solution of ammonia and water.
To clean the image window, camera window, and touch screen:
1Press the Power button and choose to suspend the computer.
2Dip a clean cloth towel in the ammonia solution and wring out the
excess.
3Wipe off the imager window, camera lens, and flash area. Do not
allow any abrasive material to touch these surfaces.
4Wipe dry.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the 70 Series computer.
Opening the computer will void the warranty and may cause
damage to the internal components.
