About the CN80 Cold Storage Model Heater
CN80 Cold Storage (CS) models come equipped with touch screen and scan
window heaters to support extended use in freezers as well as transitions into and
out of freezer areas. The heaters can be set to turn On automatically to defrost the
touch screen and scan window based on external temperature changes and timers
or the user can control the heaters by manually turning them On or Off.
• Automatic mode
This is the default mode of operation for the heaters. Automatic mode maxi-
mizes battery life in cold storage environments and provides average window
defrost times. In Automatic mode, cold storage battery life may exceed 6 hours
(scanning a bar code every ten seconds). Window defrost times should be a
minute or less with factory default settings implemented.
If your application requires faster defrost times, you can enable the Preemptive
Heating (pre-heat) feature to minimize defrost times with average battery life
in cold storage environments. This feature slightly reduces cold storage battery
life since the heaters enter a low power pre-heat stage before the computer
detects a rise in the ambient temperature.
In Automatic mode with Preemptive Heating enabled, the cold storage battery
life ranges from a maximum of 6 hours to a minimum of 1.5 hours depending
on the heater Preemptive delay time set. The window defrost times range from
zero to a maximum of one minute with factory default settings.
• Manual mode
This mode is disabled by default. When enabled, heater activation is controlled
solely by the user. No temperature monitoring and timers are used to control
the heaters. The user must manually turn the heaters On or Off.
Use the Settings app to configure the Heater feature. To learn how, see Heater
Parameters on page 24.

How Automatic Mode Works

Automatic heater management saves power since the heaters are automatically
controlled by the system based on cold storage entry/exit detection.

Cold Storage Entry Detection

In Automatic mode, cold storage entry detection occurs when the computer
sensors identify a drop in ambient temperature below the defined Heater enable
temperature. The system starts the Chill timer in response to cold storage entry
detection.

Note: If you remove the computer from cold storage before the Chill timer expires, the timer
stops and the system does not turn On the heaters, saving battery power.
A snowflake icon appears in the status bar when the Chill timer expires.

22 Dolphin CN80 Mobile Computer

Cold Storage Exit Detection
In Automatic mode, cold storage exit detection occurs when the sensors identify a
quick rise in the ambient temperature.
• If Preemptive Heating is disabled (default) and the Chill time has expired, the
system turns the heaters On at full power when a cold storage exit is detected.
• If Preemptive Heating is enabled and the Chill time has expired,
the system starts the Preemptive delay time. When the Preemptive delay time
expires, the heaters enter a low-power pre-heat stage. Pre-heating keeps the
windows warm to minimize condensation and frost when the computer is
removed from cold storage allowing for quicker defrost times. The system turns
the heaters On full power when a cold storage exit is detected.

Note: When the heaters turn On, the icon changes from a snowflake to a heater .

Turn the Heaters On/Off in Automatic Mode

When Automatic mode is enabled, you can still manually turn the heaters On or
Off while in cold storage.

Tap the snowflake or heater icon in the status bar.

• If Preemptive Heating is disabled, the heater Preemptive delay time is not
used and pre-heating does not automatically start, but the snowflake icon
can still be tapped to turn On the heaters for pre-heating.
• If you enabled Preemptive Heating, the heater Preemptive delay time stops
when the icons are used to turn the heater On or Off.

How Manual Mode Works

Manual mode gives you full control over turning the heaters On or Off.
When Manual mode is enabled, automatic cold storage enter/exit detection is no
longer used to control the heater behavior. To turn the heaters on/off, you must tap
a button on the Heater screen in the Settings app. Full power is used for defrosting.
Manual mode is disabled by default.

Turn Manual Mode On/Off

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen to access all apps.
2. Tap Settings > Heater.
3. Tap the Automatic/Manual button to switch between the Automatic or Manual
mode. The active mode appears on the button. When Manual mode is enabled,
the Heater On/Heater Off button next to the mode button is active.
4. Tap the Heater On/Heater Off button to control the heaters.

quick rise in temperature (°C), over a brief period of time. The default
DeltaT value is 0.5°C.
Duration: Heater Set the length of time (minutes) the heaters stay On at full power
(100%) once the computer detects a quick rise in temperature
(DeltaT value, see above).
The default value is 5 minutes.

temperature is detected, the Chill time starts.
Chill time Set the time limit (minutes) for how long the computer must remain
at or below the defined Heater enable temperature before the
system initiates one of the following actions:
• If in Automatic mode and Preemptive Heating is disabled,
the system turns the heaters on when a cold storage exit is
detected (see DeltaT value).
• If in Automatic mode and Preemptive Heating is enabled,
the system starts the Preemptive Delay Time.

3 USE THE IMAGE ENGINE

Use this chapter to understand how to scan bar codes, configure the scan settings,
and capture images using the integrated image engine in the computer.

About the Image Engine

You can use the image engine in the computer as a scanner or camera.
Use the imager as a scanner to read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-directional scanning for
greater flexibility in real-world settings. By default, the scanner feature is enabled
and uses the default scan profile. You can modify the Default Profile or create new
profiles for custom applications from the Settings app under Scanning.
Use the imager as a camera to capture black and white images, such as signatures
or pictures of damaged inventory.

Note: Instead of using the internal imager, you can also use Bluetooth communications to
connect the computer to an external scanner, such as the Granit™ 1981i and 1911i.

About the Scan Wedge Feature

The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a bar code. You can use applications that are
coded to use the scanner or applications that receive data through the scan wedge
feature. If an application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the
scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
You can find information on how to create custom applications for the computer in
the Software Development Kit (SDK) available for download from the Technical
Support Downloads Portal at https://hsmftp.honeywell.com. Once you create an
account and enter the portal, navigate to Software > Software and Tools >
Developer Library > SDKs for Android.

About Full Factory Reset

A Full Factory Reset should only be performed if you have exhausted all other
troubleshooting options. This method reverts the computer back to the factory
state by erasing all data in Internal shared storage and the IPSM Card storage
locations on the computer.

Caution: A Full factory reset results in data loss. Perform this procedure
only if all other recovery methods have failed and have no other
option. All personal content is erased including, but not limited to
emails, pictures, contacts, Google account information, system
settings and app settings.

Note: This method of recovery may not be available if your system administrator has set
policies to prevent the reset use.

Before You Begin

• If you added a Google Account to the 75 Series computer, make sure you have
your Google username and password associated with the computer. If you do
not have the username and password, you will not be able to use the computer
after the reset. This is a security measure that prevents unauthorized users from
using the device if they try a Full factory reset.
• If you did not add a Google Account to the computer, the extra security level is
not enabled and you will not need a Google username and password.
• If you recently reset your Google Account password, wait 24 hours before
performing a Full factory reset.
• Connect the computer to an external power source or make sure you have a full
battery charge.
