CN3 Mobile Computer User's Manual for Windows Mobile 6.1
Power Profiler also provides advanced settings that allow you to fine-
tune the power usage. You can choose to have the Power button turn
off the screen or turn off the device.
Note: You can also configure all of the settings in Power Profiler
using Intermec Settings. For help with Intermec Settings, see
"Configuring the CN3 Parameters" on page 45.
About Power Management Profiles
Use the Windows Mobile Standard profile (default) for applications
that power off infrequently, such as inventory management or
terminal emulation. If the CN3 does not have any activity, the screen
turns off, but WAN, LAN, or Bluetooth radio connections are
maintained in a low power state. If there continues to be no activity,
the CN3 eventually turns off LAN and Bluetooth data connections
and goes into Suspend mode. The CN3 maintains its WAN
connection during Suspend mode, and still receives incoming phone
calls or other data. To wake up the CN3 and restore other
connections, press the Power or Scan button.
Use the Windows Mobile Classic profile for systems that batch data
and upload it several times a day. This profile does not support
constant data connections over LAN or Bluetooth. It can only
maintain data connections when the CN3 is on and all peripherals are
enabled. If the screen is off, you do not have any LAN, or Bluetooth
connections, but the CN3 maintains its WAN connection and still
receives incoming phone calls or other data. To wake up the CN3 and
restore other connections, press the Power or Scan button.
Use the Windows Mobile Phone profile when you have a system that
requires network wake-up or you need the CN3 to always be
connected to the network. Although the connections are maintained
at a low power mode, this setting typically consumes the most power.
If the screen turns off, the radios continue to maintain the network
connections. To turn the screen back on, press the Power or Scan
button.

Customizing Power Timeouts

Note: When you set timeout values this way, you override values used
by the Power Management Profiles.
