Este equipamento opera em caráter secundário, isto é, não tem
direito a proteção contra interferência prejudicial, mesmo de
estações do mesmo tipo, e não pode causar interferência a
sistemas operando em caráter primário.
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Electrically Powered Devices
Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires
devices to operate properly in an EM Field with a strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to
1000MHz. The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the Dolphin is 0.3V/m according to Subpart
B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the Dolphin RF has no effect on medical devices that meet the
IEC specification.
Microwaves
The radio in the Dolphin RF terminal operates on the same frequency band as a microwave oven.
Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the Dolphin RF terminal you may notice performance
degradation in your wireless network. However, both your microwave and your wireless network will
continue to function. The Dolphin Batch terminal does not contain a radio, and therefore, is not affected
by microwave ovens.

Touch Screen Display
!
!
The display is a 65,536-color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) covered by a touch screen lens. The 2.8” 1/4
VGA (Video Graphic Array) is TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color, backlit, and the resolution is 240 x 320;
see Display Backlight on page 3-4.
Dolphin terminals ship with a screen protector already installed over the touch screen lens to help
prevent damage to the touch screen. Do NOT remove this screen protector before initial use.
Honeywell recommends using screen protectors, especially for applications that require highvolume interfacing with the touch screen. For more information, see Using Screen Protectors on
page 3-4.
For touch screen input, use the stylus included with the terminal or your finger. The method you choose
depends on which one is most appropriate for your application. While there is a great deal of variation in
different applications, for buttons or icons that are close together, you generally achieve greater accuracy
with the stylus; see Using the Stylus on page 2-5.
Use of objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens on the touch screen can damage the input panel and
may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Display Backlight
The touch screen display has a backlight that is programmed to turn off after a specified period of time
that the terminal is idle. For details, see Backlight on page 6-8.
Using Screen Protectors
Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display as using a screen protector and proper
stylus. Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which
is why their use is recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface with the
touch panel.
Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin terminals. We recommend
implementing a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen protectors are replaced
periodically when signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we recommend replacing the
screen protector every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary according to the average level
of touch panel use in your application.
Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Please contact a Honeywell
sales associate for details.
Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than
0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Honeywell warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel display for the first 12 months provided that a
screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12 month duration covered by the
warranty.
Removing the Screen Protector
Dolphin terminals ship with a touch screen protector already installed. To replace the screen protector,
you must remove the one already installed.

ActiveSync Communication
!
To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.5 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate
communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with
ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just
need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate
communication.
If ActiveSync 4.5 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Getting Started CD
that came with the Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and
follow the directions on your screen. You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from
www.microsoft.com and install.
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with
a Hand Held Products communication peripheral. We recommend use of Hand Held Products peripherals,
power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Hand Held Products peripherals, cables, or power
adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Communication Types
The terminal supports the following types of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O Connector (see
page 3-15) on the bottom panel:
USB The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the terminal to communicate with a
workstation or to networked through a USB hub. The terminal supports full-speed USB
communication (USB 1.1); maximum data transfer rate is 12 Mbps. The terminal defaults
to USB communication out of the box.
RS-232 The RS-232 cable allows the terminal to communicate with a workstation, modem, or any
RS-232 device. Maximum data transfer rate is 115 Kbps.

Battery Power
!
Dolphin terminals feature intelligent battery technology with two types of battery power:
• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-21)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-24)
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the terminal for the first time!
Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Hand Held Products Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Hand Held Products battery
may result in damage not covered by the warranty.
The Li-ion battery pack is 3.7V/3240mAh/12.0Wh and
the primary power source for both the Dolphin terminal
and the internal backup battery.
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press the Blue +
Backlight keys to put the terminal in Suspend Mode
(see page 3-26) so that operations are suspended
before removing the main power source. Always put the
terminal in suspend mode prior to changing the battery.
Charging Options
When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following
peripherals:
• Power Cable (see page 2-1)
• Dolphin HomeBase Device (see page 11-1)
• Charge/Comm Cable (see page 3-17)
To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing in the terminal, use the
• Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 12-1)
Charging Time
The Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge to full capacity.
Battery Pack Storage Guidelines
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 122° F (-20 to 50°C) or in extremely high
humidity.
• For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may pose a
personal hazard to the user.
3 - 21
• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to
local guidelines.
• Don’t use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.
• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can explode and cause severe personal injury.
• Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery
power.
• If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged in some way, please send it
to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to the Product
Service and Repair section of this guide.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the
battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, please send it to Honeywell International
or an authorized service center for inspection.
Managing Main Battery Power
Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a
continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert
another charged battery pack in the Dolphin. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a
charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery.
Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN button does not wake
the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.
Default Critical and Low Battery Points
Dolphin terminals are programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery
points. The following registry entry sets both warning points:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: LowBatt and CriticalBatt. The default values for these
entries are as follows:
LowBatt=19 (25%)
This sets the Low Battery point to 25% (19 hex=25 decimal). When the battery hits the
percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar .
If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN or Power
button won’t wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a battery
charged over 25% mark before you can resume terminal operation.
CriticalBatt=a (10%)
This sets the Critical Battery point to 10% (a hex= 0 decimal). When the battery hits the
percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar .
Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.
Setting Critical and Low Battery Points
Developers can re-reset the default battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool.
1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit.
3 - 22
2. Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power.
3. Change the Value Data of the BattPowerOff and ExtPowerOff entries.
4. Tap OK to save changes.
Note: These changes will not persist through a cold boot. To ensure that these settings persist through cold boots,
you need to use the RegBackup Power Tool.
For more information about Registry Power Tools, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User’s Guide
available for download at www.honeywell.com/aidc.
3 - 23
Internal Backup Battery
Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 2.4V nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery.
The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery
pack. This battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30
minutes. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup
battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according to specifications.
Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory (IPSM) or an optional
SD card are not lost. However, the terminal automatically cold boots when you install a fully charged battery
pack and you need to reset the real-time clock.
Charging
The internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires eight hours charge time to
backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main
battery for four hours; however, the internal backup battery will continue to charge off the main battery.
To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply for the
first eight hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a charging
peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both.
Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphin’s internal backup battery:
• Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the Dolphin terminal.
• Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use.
Checking Battery Power
Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power.
3 - 24
Resetting the Terminal
!
There are two ways to reset the Dolphin terminal: a soft reset and a hard reset.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data. You would perform a soft reset 1) after
installing software applications that require a reboot, 2) after making changes to certain system settings,
or 3) when the terminal fails to respond.
1. Press and hold Red + ESC for approximately 5 seconds. The screen turns white and the
decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds.
2. When the reset is complete, the Today Screen (see page 2-2) appears.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory and launches AutoInstall, which
re-initializes the terminal.
Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process.
1. Press and hold Red + TAB for approximately 5 seconds. The screen turns white and the
decode and scan LEDs light for approximately three seconds.
2. The terminal re-initializes, which re-installs all programs stored in the \IPSM\Autoinstall folder.
Note: Set the time and date after each hard reset to ensure that the system clock is accurate. Tap the date on the
Today Screen (see page 2-2) to open the Clock setting and set the time and date.
3 - 25
Suspend Mode
Suspend mode suspends terminal operation. The terminal appears to be “off” when in suspend mode.
The terminal is programmed to go into suspend mode automatically when inactive for a specified period
of time. You can set this time period in the Power setting.
To Put the Terminal in Suspend Mode
Press the Blue + Backlight keys.
Note: You should always put the terminal in suspend mode when you change the battery pack; see Changing the
Main Battery Pack on page 3-21.

Activating the Engine
When a scanning application is open, press the SCAN key to activate the image engine. You can
also press one of the side buttons (see page 3-12), which are programmed to activate the image engine
in a scanning application by default.
Using Demos
Demos are software utilities loaded on all Dolphin terminals that demonstrate the advanced features of
the terminal. There are two Demos feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan Demo.
To access these demos, tap Start > Demos,
•Select Scan Demo to verify decoding, or
•Select Image Demo to verify imaging.
For more information about Demos, refer to the Dolphin Demos User’s Guide, which is available for
download from www.honeywellaidc.com.
LEDs
The LEDs in the center of both keyboards (for location, see LEDs on page 4-1) light when using the image
engine.
Scan LED The LED on the right lights red when you press the scan trigger in scanning applications.
Decode LED The LED on the left lights green when a scanned bar code is successfully decoded.
Decoding
The Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear
Decoding (ALD).
Full-area Imaging
Full-area imaging means that the Dolphin terminal support omni-directional aiming, which
means that a positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see Omni-
Directional Scanning Positions on page 5-4.
ALD
ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (PDF417). For the best
read, the aiming pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is
enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes.
To Decode a Bar Code
1. Tap Start > Demos > Scan Demo.
2. Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page 5-4.
A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
3. Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the SCAN key. The Scan LED lights red
4. Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the
bar code to achieve optimal decoding; Omni-Directional Scanning Positions, page 5-4
.
5 - 3
5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
Sample 128 Sample PDF417
Code 128 PDF417 Test Message
Sample Bar Codes
You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
Omni-Directional Scanning Positions
The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning performance.
Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the terminal is
held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to
the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
5 - 4
Capturing Images
The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following
basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly
learn to adapt to different application environments.
Image Preview
When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object. This
is a live video image of what the imager is currently viewing and has a slightly degraded
appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal; the captured image has a higher
resolution.
File Formats
The Dolphin terminal is capable of saving images in a number of industry-standard file formats
such as BMP, JPG and PNG. The default file format for images is a grayscale JPG.
File Size
Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and may have up to a 256
grayscale image definition. The image quality and related file size are determined by the data
compression method used by the software application used to take the image.
The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image
depends on image content, the more complex the content, the larger the file size.
Taking an Image
1. Tap Start > Demos > Image Demo.
2. Point the terminal at the object.
3. Press the SCAN key to activate the engine. The touch screen displays a preview of the object.
4. Adjust the terminal’s position as necessary. Use the preview on the screen as a guide.
5. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key.
The touch screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.
6. By default, the image is saved to the My Device folder.
To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As.
High-Vis Aiming Pattern
If your terminal is configured with the 5300SR imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in
the Image Demo application.
1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Options menu > Aimer.
2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.
Uploading Images
Image files can be transmitted to a host workstation via
• Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral
• Wireless radio: 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth

Working with GSM
Overview
The Dolphin 7600 can be configured with an integrated, embedded GSM/GPRS EDGE quad-band radio
module for WWAN communication.
GSM Short for Global System for Mobile communications, GSM is an open, non-proprietary wireless
WAN system that is constantly evolving and growing.
GPRS Short for General Packet Radio Service, GPRS is a non-voice value added service that allows
packet-switched data to be instantly sent and received across mobile telephone networks.
Requirements
Using GSM/GPRS requires a:
• Network subscription to a GSM/GPRS network (you need to know what service providers are in your
geographic area), and
• An installed SIM card that has been activated by the network service provider (see SIM Card
Installation on page 8-2).
Antenna
Dolphin terminals configured with a GSM radio feature an internal antenna that is optimized for power
output and receiver sensitivity. This is an omni-directional antenna with zero dBm gain.
There are two different antennas based on geographical location; each supports two bandwidths:
Europe: Supports 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.
North America: Supports 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands.
Signal Strength
The signal strength of the GSM connection is indicated by the number of bars that appear in the signal
strength icon in the Navigation bar at the top of the window.
Icon Indicates…
The signal strength of the radio connection.
The signal strength of the data connection; see page 8-5.
The signal strength of the phone (voice) connection; see page 8-8.
