Chapter 1 — Using the CN2 Handheld Computer 4 CN2 Handheld Computer User’s Manual Does Your CN2 Contain an 802.11b/g Radio? How to Determine Description In This Manual Look at the Configuration Number (CN) on the label inside the battery compartment. For help removing the battery door and the battery, see page 8. If the CN ends in 8xx, your CN2 contains a radio. For example, CN2A21E10N2804. You have a wireless CN2, which can communicate in a wireless network. For details about wireless communications, see “Configuring 802.11b/g Radio Communications” on page 47. If the CN ends in 000, your CN2 does not contain a radio. For example, CN2A11E10N2000. You have a batch CN2, which requires a modem dock or communications dock to communicate with a network. For details about batch communications, see “Configuring USB Communications” on page 46. Does Your CN2 Contain a Numeric or Scroll Keypad? How to Determine Description In This Manual The numeric keypad has 18 keys. You can type numbers and letters, and you can access function keys (such as F1). For details, see “Using the Numeric Keypad” on page 11. The scroll keypad has 10 keys. You can use the arrow keys to move through applications, and you can access function keys (such as F1). For details, see “Using the Scroll Keypad” on page 13. Does Your CN2 Scan Bar Codes? How to Determine Description In This Manual The top of the CN2 contains a clear scanner window. You can scan bar codes with your CN2. For details, see “Scanning Bar Codes” on page 25. The top of the CN2 does not contain a clear scanner window. You cannot scan bar codes with your CN2. Ignore all references to scanning bar codes in this manual.
Chapter 1 — Using the CN2 Handheld Computer CN2 Handheld Computer User’s Manual 5 Using the Battery The CN2 uses a lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CN2. While you change the battery, the backup battery maintains the computer’s status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 5 minutes. The lithium-ion battery pack that is 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. Avertissement: Le paquet de piles d’ions de lithium qui est utilisé dans cet appareil peut presenter un risque de feu ou un risque chimique de brûlure s’il est maltraité. Il ne faut pas le désassembler, le réchauffer à une température plus élevée que 100°C (212°F) ou l’incinérer. Warnung: Der Lithiumionen-Akku, der in diesem Gerät verwendet wird, kann eine Brandgefahr oder chemische Brandgefahr darstellen, falls ee missbräuchlich verwendet wird. Nicht zerlegen, über 100°C (212°F) erwärmen oder verbrennen. Removing the main battery when the backup battery low or critically low icon appears on the status bar may cause your CN2 to cold boot and you may lose data. Attention: Si vous enlevez la batterie principale quand l’icône de batterie de secours dans la barre de statut indique bas ou bas critique, cela peut causer une botte froide à votre CN2 et vous risquez de perdre des données. Vorsicht: Das Entfernen des Hauptakkus bei schwacher Reservebatterie oder wenn das Symbol für „leeren Akku“ in der Statusleiste eingeblendet ist, kann einen Kaltstart des Modells CN2 auslösen und zu Datenverlusten führen.
Chapter 1 — Using the CN2 Handheld Computer 6 CN2 Handheld Computer User’s Manual If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important data or applications. Attention: Si la batterie n’est pas remplacée immédiatement, des données ou applications importantes risquent d’être perdues. Vorsicht: Falls der Akku nicht unverzüglich ausgetauscht wird, können importierte Daten oder Anwendungen verloren gehen. Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your local Intermec sales representative for replacement batteries. Several factors determine the life of your battery, such as extreme temperatures and your usage.

Maximizing Battery Life There are several things that you can do to maximize the life of your fully charged battery. • Set the Backlight Timeout to 10 seconds. • Verify that Radio Power Management is enabled (Fast PSP). Enabling radio power management allows your radio to switch between awake and sleep modes based on network traffic. • Verify that each setting under Power Management has a value of 1 minute for a combined automatic shutoff time of 3 minutes. You can use Intermec Settings to easily make all of these configuration changes. For help, see “Configuring the CN2 Locally With Intermec Settings” on page 36. Checking the Battery Status The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the battery icon on the taskbar of your CN2. For help locating the taskbar, see the illustration on page 15.

Chapter 1 — Using the CN2 Handheld Computer 16 CN2 Handheld Computer User’s Manual Understanding the Desktop The Start screen has two distinct areas: the desktop and the taskbar. The desktop displays shortcuts to some of the applications installed on the CN2. The first time you turn on the CN2, the taskbar displays the Start menu icon, the time, the keyboard icon, and the desktop icon. Most of the default shortcuts on the desktop are standard Windows CE applications. However, Intermec provides shortcuts to two additional applications: • ScanDemo is a simple application you can use to verify that your imager is working correctly. (This application is installed only if your CN2 has a scanner.) • Transcriber enables you to write on the screen with your stylus, and then it converts your writing to text. Using ScanDemo ScanDemo is an application that enables the CN2 to read bar code labels and display the information encoded on the label along with the symbology used to encode it. To open ScanDemo 1 Double-tap the ScanDemo shortcut on the desktop. The ScanDemo application opens. 2 Scan a bar code label. For information on how to scan a bar code label, see “Scanning Bar Codes” on page 25. The information you scanned along with the symbology used to encode it appears on the screen.

To change the beeper volume 1 Tap the Start icon and tap Intermec Settings. The Intermec Settings application appears. 2 Tap Device Settings > Beeper > Volume. 3 Select a volume level. 4 Tap to save your settings and tap X to exit Intermec Settings. Running Multiple Applications on the CN2 You can simultaneously run several applications on your CN2. For example, you can check e-mail in your Inbox, view a web site in Internet Explorer, and open a couple of documents in WordPad. The last application that you open is the current task, the one that is currently active on the screen. The CN2 gives you two ways to manage multiple tasks: • You can use the Task Manager to view, switch between, and end tasks. For details, see the next section. • You can use the Active Applications List to view and switch between active tasks. For details, see page 24. Using Task Manager to Manage Multiple Active Tasks You can use Task Manager on the CN2 to view all the active tasks, to switch to another active task, and to end a task. Task Manager is especially helpful on the CN2 for switching between several running tasks.
