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

variety of ways. For example, if you have set up an appointment in Calendar, an e-mail message arrives, or a friend sends you an instant message, you
are notified in any of the following ways: a message box appears on the
screen, a sound (which you can specify) is played, a light flashes on your
CN3 Computer, or the CN3 Computer vibrates. You can choose the notification types.
Entering Information
You can enter information on your CN3 Computer in several ways,
depending on the type you have and the program you are using:

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% by selecting Menu > Zoom. Recognition is not good under a 150% zoom.
• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the CN3 Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add is not
included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select
items and how they are edited. For example, you can resize selected drawings, while you cannot resize writing.
Creating a Drawing
Select Menu > Draw, then draw a line to initiate a drawing box. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop with the information on your CN3 Computer. Synchronization
compares the data on your CN3 Computer with your desktop and updates
both computers with the most recent information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CN3 Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
CN3 Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on or off
for specific information types.
36

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your CN3 Computer data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN3 Computer and
desktop.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your CN3 Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your CN3 Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so you can
synchronize information between your CN3 Computer and your desktop,
and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization
process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your CN3 Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CN3 Computer,
and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CN3 Computer from
your computer and you are ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your CN3 Computer. To
switch to ActiveSync on your CN3 Computer, tap Start > Programs > the
ActiveSync icon. Note that if you have a wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely from your CN3 Computer.
For future use, this is added to your Start menu in the Recent Programs
area, via Start > ActiveSync.

Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your CN3 Computer. You
can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange
server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you
made on your CN3 Computer and desktop or server and updates both
computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.
You can switch to any program by tapping it on the Start menu.

(pictures).
For information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.
Why Use Categories in the Calendar?
Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then,
use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For
example, you can easily share your CN3 Computer with another by assigning your appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can
then use this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for
that project.

Synchronizing Notes
Notes can synchronize between your desktop and CN3 Computer either
through notes synchronization or file synchronization. Notes synchronization synchronizes the notes on your CN3 Computer with Outlook Notes
on your desktop. File synchronization synchronizes all notes on the CN3
Computer with the My Documents folder for the CN3 Computer on your
desktop.
To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, first select the
Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time
you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your
CN3 Computer appear in Outlook Notes on your desktop. Notes that
contain only text appear as regular notes in Outlook on your desktop, while
notes containing written text or drawings appear in the device format. In
addition, all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the desktop appear in
Notes on the CN3 Computer.
To synchronize your notes as files, in ActiveSync, select the Files information type for synchronization and clear the Notes information type. When
you select Files, the My Documents folder for the CN3 Computer is cre-
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
55

ated on your desktop. All .PWI files placed in the My Documents folder on
your CN3 Computer and all .DOC files placed in the My Documents
folder for the CN3 Computer on your desktop are synchronized. Passwordprotected files cannot be synchronized.
ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For information
on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.
Note: When you delete or change an item on either your desktop or the
CN3 Computer, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the
next time you synchronize.
Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then
later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchronized
with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Documents
folder for the CN3 Computer.
Messaging: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
To switch to Messaging on your CN3 Computer, tap Start > Messaging.
You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Messaging.
Internet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your
Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent
and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a phone
number as the message address.
You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or by
connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access
Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account for
each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set up
by default. The ActiveSync folder on your CN3 Computer stores messages
that you send and receive through synchronization with a desktop. Account
names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left, under the navigation bar) in the Messaging message list.
With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the CN3 Computer Inbox and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft
Exchange or Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Messages” on the next page.
When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) or a modem card to connect to
the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected. You can
also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line connection. For
more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server” on page 58.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
After selecting Messaging for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization:
56
PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile
• Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the
Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your CN3 Computer.
(Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an
Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the last
three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
• Messages in the Outbox folder on your CN3 Computer are transferred
to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
• The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your CN3 Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the next
time you synchronize.
• Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on initiating Messaging synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or tap Start >
Help, then select a topic.
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with
five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items.
The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in
these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the CN3
Computer. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders
depends on the Inbox options you have chosen.
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
automatically synchronize with your CN3 Computer. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the
server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a
folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read messages while away from your
desktop.
• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created,
the link is broken between the messages on the CN3 Computer and their
copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees
that the messages are missing from the CN3 Computer Inbox and
deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate
copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to
CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY
57
Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile
messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the
CN3 Computer.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you
move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you
anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your CN3
Computer or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected.
For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Menu > Tools > Manage Folders.
Connecting to a Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your CN3 Computer. You need to
set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to
your e-mail server. For more information, see “Remote Access (Modems)”
on page 118.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the CN3 Computer Inbox folder, messages in the CN3 Computer Outbox
folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail server are
removed from the CN3 Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on your
CN3 Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you
connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and
respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your CN3 Computer.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide
which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and
sends the messages you have composed.
Setting Up or Changing an Account
To set up a a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail account, tap Menu > Tools >
Options > New Account. Follow instructions in the New Account Wizard.
