About the 70 Series Mobile Computers
The ergonomically designed Intermec 70 Series Mobile Computers are
built on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld operating
system. They are lightweight, easy-to-use, and run most software
developed for the Windows Embedded platform, including
standalone, client-server, and browser-based applications.
The 70 Series family of computers consists of four different models:
the CN70, CN70e, CK70 and CK71. The CN70 and CN70e have the
same features except that the CN70e offers a larger keypad for
data-input intensive applications. The CK70 and CK71 have most of
the same features, but the CK71 offers a choice of imager options and
does not offer a WWAN radio option (phone). For hazardous
environments, Intermec offers non-incendive (NI) models of each 70
Series computer. Throughout this manual, all versions of the mobile
computer are referred to as 70 Series unless information is specific to
a particular model of computer.
In most of the user manual, pictures of the CN70 and CK70 represent
the four models of the 70 Series computers. The Intermec RFID Demo
IM11 handheld computers (CK70 RFID, CN70e RFID, and CN70
RFID) have a visual RFID label indicated on the Front View.
