Quad  Charger  Dock

With the battery or module contacts aligned in the charger or dock, slide the battery or 
module into one of the charging bays. Push the battery or module into the slot to engage 
the latch. The status light for that slot will illuminate and indicate charge status per the 
chart below.

The CN30 console is designed to have a battery in place at all times. When you remove a 
discharged battery, replace it with a charged battery within 10 minutes to prevent loss of 
data. If a charged battery is not available, leave the discharged battery attached to the 
CN30 console until a charged battery is available.

Press and release the yellow (I) key to turn the CN30 on or off. To conserve 
battery power, your CN30 turns itself off during periods of inactivity.

Based on the keyboard module option and overlay on your unit, your CN30 may have 
color-coded keys to let you access additional characters, symbols, and functions printed 
on the overlay. Refer to this table as a guide to using the color-coded keys. The orange and 
green function keys will illuminate when activated. 

For example, to activate the Caps key: Press [orange] then the Shift key.

When your CN30 is powered up for the first time, you will see the splash screen appear. 
Follow the on-screen instructions until you reach the Today screen.

The Start button in the upper left corner of the display accesses the system menu, which 
provides access to Programs and Control Panel Settings.

The Task bar across the bottom of the display allows you to switch between running 
applications and bringing up the Input Panel.

You can use a Secure Digital (SD) card to increase file storage and install software. The 
Secure Digital card slot is located on the side of the CN30 next to the display. For best 
results, use only Intermec-approved SD cards.

1 Remove the SD card slot cover.

2 Gently insert the SD card into the card slot with the label side facing the display.

3 Push the card into the slot until it latches in place.

4 Replace the Secure Digital card slot door over the opening and tighten the two screws. 

Intermec Settings is an Intermec application that allows you to easily configure your CN30 
Mobile Computer. These screen shots show you the areas on your CN30 that you can 
branch out to configure.
