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

1Press 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 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.

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.

6To 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.

To use the area imager

1Press the power switch to turn on the CN3, point the scanner window a

few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.

2Press 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

CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 7

When a bar code label is successfully read, a high beep is emitted and the

Good Scan LED lights briefly. Release the Scan button.

Improving the Performance of the Area Imager

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:

• 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.

•TapStart > Settings > the System tab > the Intermec Settings icon to

access the applet.

• Tap (+) to expand Data Collection > Internal Scanner > Imager

Settings > Predefined Modes, then select one of the following:

Select this option: If you are scanning:

1D only 1D labels

1D and 2D Standard all other cases

1D and 2D Bright Environment in high ambient light (like outdoors in sunshine)

1D and 2D Reflective Surface glossy labels

Select Custom to access all standard imager settings such as “Lighting Goal” or “Lighting

Mode.” More information about these settings, commands, and parameters are found in

the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual available from the Intermec web site at

www.intermec.com.

Reading Distances

Typical reading distances are done in an office environment using office

lights (4 lux). Minimum distances are measured in the dark (0 lux). Both

reading distances are provided in respective scan engine integration guides.

Contact your Intermec representative for more information.

The minimum standard reading distances for CN3s built with integrated

scan engines are shown below. When correctly mounted, an exit window

(like the one the CN3 has) reduces reading distances by about 4%.

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.

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.

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 Computer

10 CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual

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.

Removing and Installing the Battery

To 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 Tips

When 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.
