Setup and Troubleshooting of the 

Intermec CN3G/CN3eG PDCD

 

 

General and Recommended Setting Changes 

 

The Intermec CN3G/CN3eG PDCDs (Portable Data Collection Device) are the latest 
addition to DPAS approved PDCD list.  The CN3G/CN3eG are over two times faster and 
have three times the memory than the Intermec 751G.  They have a default operating 
system  of Windows Mobile 6 compared to the less efficient 751G operating system of 
Win CE.net. 
 
 One of the biggest advantages is the ability to remove the battery for a long period of 
time, replace it, and still have all the DPAS application information.  DPAS Columbus has 
successfully tested this for up to eight days.
