Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Information

This product has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment, if not properly disposed.

In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems for product disposal. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of the product you are disposing in a sound way.

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide

Rev C

10/30/08

1 - 3

The crossed out wheeled bin symbol informs you that the product should not be disposed of along with municipal waste and invites you to use the appropriate separate take-back systems for product disposal.

If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration.

You may also contact your supplier for more information on the environmental performances of this product.

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 terminal is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the RF from the Dolphin terminal 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.

Getting Started

Out of the Box

Verify that the carton contains the following items:

• Dolphin 9900 mobile computer (the terminal)

• Main battery pack (7.4v Li-ion)

• Microsoft Getting Started CD

• Q u i c k S t a r t G u i d e

Note: If you ordered accessories for your terminals, verify that they are also included with the order.

Be sure to keep the original packaging in the event that the Dolphin terminal should need to be returned for service. For details, see Product Service and Repair on page 15-1.

Step 1. Install the 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.

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide

Rev C

10/30/08

2 - 1

Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries

The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack installed on the back panel and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.

The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and maintains the application data stored in RAM memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main battery pack is completely discharged or removed.

Before Initial Use

Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. Charge the main battery pack for a minimum of 4.5 hours before initial use.

Time to Charge

4.5 hours for the main battery pack, 8 hours for the internal backup battery the first time. Connect the terminal to one of the 9000 series charging peripherals to charge; see Peripherals on page 3-2.

We recommend use of Hand Held Products peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any nonHand Held Products peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Step 3. Boot the Terminal

The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied and runs by itself. Do NOT press any keys or interrupt the boot process. Only tap the screen when prompted.

When the boot process is complete, the Today screen appears and the terminal is ready for use.

Note: Because, the Today screen appears a number of times during the boot process, wait a few seconds before

tapping anything on the Today screen.

Step 4. Set the Time and Date

You need to re-set the time and date after every hard reset of the terminal. It is a good idea to set the time and date now before you begin using the device.

On the Today screen, tap the line that displays the time and date,

The Clock Settings screen appears.

The time zone defaults to GMT-5 Eastern US; tap the arrow to the right of GMT-5 Eastern US to select another time zone. Set the correct time and date in the remaining fields and tap

OK to save.

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 Microsoft Companion 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.

Note: 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.

Capabilities

• Back up and restore your device data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your terminal and workstation.

• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your workstation or only when you choose the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

Communication Types

The Dolphin terminal supports the following types of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O

Connector (see page 3-10) 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 Dolphin terminal supports full-speed USB communication (USB 1.1); maximum data transfer rate is 12 Mbps. The Dolphin 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.

Hardware Requirements for Setup

• Dolphin communication peripheral or cable

• Dolphin power cable from Hand Held Products

• USB cable (for USB communication)

• Serial cable (for RS-232 communication)

Software Requirements for Communication

• To sync successfully, ActiveSync v4.5 or higher must be configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time.

• Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher), Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating systems.

Setting Up the Host Workstation

For USB communication, check Allow USB connections.

For RS-232 communication, connect to COM1.

Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File > Connection Settings.

Note: You can have both USB and RS-232 selected in the software without affecting processing. However, your

hardware setup should use only RS-232 or USB, not both.

Communicating with the Dolphin Terminal

After setting up both the workstation and the terminal, ActiveSync connection should be automatic.

1. Connect the Dolphin terminal to a Dolphin communication peripheral.

2. The Dolphin terminal automatically opens ActiveSync to establish a connection.

Synchronizing with the Host Workstation

After setup, synchronization begins automatically whenever the terminal’s mechanical connector connects to a Dolphin peripheral that is connected to a host workstation with ActiveSync installed.

Exploring the Terminal from the Workstation

When the Dolphin terminal and workstation are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the desktop), and click Explore.

The Mobile Device folder opens in Windows Explorer.

The Dolphin terminal is now treated as a mass storage device, and transferring files is as simple as dragging and dropping or copying and pasting.

Using the Touch Panel

Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel 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, such as signature capture for proof of delivery.

Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin devices. 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 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.

Installing a Screen Protector

Dolphin 9900 terminals ship with a screen protector already installed. You will need to replace the screen protector at regular intervals.

1. After the current screen protector has been removed from the touch panel, clean the touch panel

thoroughly with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Make sure nothing else is still attached to the touch panel.

2. Align the exposed section of the protector with the bottom edge of the touch panel.

Make sure that the screen protector is flush with each side of the touch panel. To reposition, lift up gently and reapply.

3. Press the screen protector firmly and carefully across the surface of the touch panel as you peel

away the backing.

4. If necessary, smooth out any air pockets or bumps.

Batteries

There are two types of battery power: the main battery pack installed in the back panel and the backup battery located inside the terminal. They are designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods.

Both batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin 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 7.4V, 18.5 watt hour Li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the terminal. The Li-ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F).

Charging Options

When the Li-ion battery is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals:

• Dolphin HomeBase Device (see page 11-1)

• Dolphin Mobile Base Device (see page 12-1)

• Dolphin ChargeBase Device (see page 13-1)

• Dolphin Net Base (Please see the Dolphin Net Base Quick Start Guide on www.honeywell.com/aidc.)

• Dolphin Mobile Charger

When the Li-ion battery is not installed in the terminal:

• Place the battery pack in the Dolphin QuadCharger device (see page 14-4)

• Place the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase (see page 11-6).

Charging Time

The Li-ion battery pack requires 4.5 hours to charge completely before initial use.

Storing Batteries

To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:

• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4° to 104° F (-20° to 40°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 Hand Held Products Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Hand Held Products battery may pose a personal hazard to the user.

• 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.

10/30/08

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer

User’s Guide

• If you observe that the Hand Held Products 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.

Internal Backup Battery

Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6 Volt nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to remove and replace the

main battery pack. It retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes when the main battery pack is removed. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery needs to be recharged to function according to its specifications.

Note: Data and programs stored in Flash memory are not lost even if the internal backup battery fails. However, you

must reset the real-time clock; see Set the Time and Date on page 2-2.

Charging

The internal backup battery is powered by the main battery pack. Therefore, charging the internal backup battery requires that the main battery pack be installed in the terminal and the terminal be connected to a charging device.

The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. The initial charge cycle takes approximately 8 hours. After that, if the internal backup battery becomes fully discharged of power, it requires a minimum of 10 hours of charging time to function normally.

Guidelines for Use

Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the internal backup battery:

• Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the terminal; the backup battery prematurely discharges if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal.

• Keep the terminal connected to power when the terminal is not in use.

Managing Battery Power

Data and files saved on Dolphin terminals may be stored in RAM memory, which does not persist through a hard reset. Therefore, to help prevent data loss, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal.

Letting the backup battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Therefore, you should keep a charged battery pack in the terminal at all times. The internal battery discharges prematurely if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the terminal immediately.

Default Critical and Low Battery Points

When the terminal is running on battery power (as opposed to external power), warnings are displayed when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The warning points are determined by the following registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide

Rev C

10/30/08

3 - 15

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 reset these parameters in the registry from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly always warn). You can review and set these battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool.

1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit.

2. Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power.

3. Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data.

You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly always warn).

4. Tap OK to save changes.

Decoding

The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD).

Full-Area Imaging

Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking. When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive read can be obtained from many positions; see Scanning Position Options on page 4-4. To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.

ALD

ALD provides fast reading of linear and stacked linear bar codes. To achieve a positive read when reading linear 1D and PDF417 bar codes, the green aiming beam 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

The imager faces straight out the top panel. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding. A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.

1. Point the Dolphin terminal directly at the bar code.

2. Project the aiming beam or pattern by pressing and holding the SCAN key.

Scanning Position Options

The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

Capturing Images

The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt it 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. The live video image has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.

Scan Key

The SCAN key captures images.

Image Files

The 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.

Compression

The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the larger the file size. For the highest quality image, take grayscale images.

Taking an Image

The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images:

1. Point the Dolphin terminal directly at the object. The imager points straight out the top panel.

2. To preview the image, press and hold the SCAN key.

3. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red.

4. Adjust the terminal’s position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in

the image.

5. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key or Scan Trigger. The scan and decode LEDs flash

red, the screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.

6. Unless otherwise specified by the application in use, the image is saved to the \My Device\My

Documents folder (Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device > My Documents).

5300 High-Vis Aiming Pattern

If your Dolphin terminal is configured with the 5300 imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Imaging Demo.

1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Setup menu > Aimer.

2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.

Uploading Images

Image files can be uploaded to a host workstation via Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral or your wireless radio connection.

Memory

The Memory system setting displays capacity and usage statistics for both RAM (volatile) and IPSM/ Storage Card (non-volatile) memory. Access this setting whenever you receive system messages about memory.

You cannot change the terminal’s memory allocation in the Memory system setting. To change the memory allocation, you need to use the SetRAM Power Tool (Start > Power Tools > SetRAM). For more details, please refer to the Honeywell Power Tools User’s Guide, which is available for download from

www.honeywell.com/aidc.

There are three tabs: Main, Storage Card, and Running Programs.

Main Tab

This tab displays the usage statistics of the on-board, volatile RAM memory.

Columns:

Storage= Program=RAM memory used to run programs.

Rows:

Total= Displays the current MB of memory allocated for use. In use Free=Displays the total MB of memory available.

Storage Card Tab

This tab displays the current capacity and usage statistics of the selected memory type; IPSM or Storage Card.

Select the memory type from the drop-down list. IPSM is selected by default.

Total storage card memory= The total MB of memory capacity of IPSM or Storage Card.

In use Free=The MB that is still available for use.

RAM memory used to store programs and program data.

=Displays the total MB of that allocated memory being used.

=The MB currently being used.

IPSM—Short for Internal Persistent Storage Manager, this is the on-board Flash memory that is non-volatile. Because this memory is non-volatile, data or programs stored in IPSM are not affected when power is removed. Autoinstall programs, for example, are stored in IPSM so that they are always installed at cold-boot startup.

Storage Card—You can install one memory card in Dolphin terminals (see Memory

Card Door on page 3-8). If a storage card is installed in the terminal, you can select

it in the drop-down list and see capacity and usage statistics for the card.

Running Programs Tab

Displays the software programs currently using Storage memory.

Check this tab when you are receiving out of memory errors or when the terminal is running slowly.

You can

• Select a program in the list and tap Stop to stop it from running (and therefore from using memory), or

• T a p Stop All to automatically stop all running programs.

Anytime you stop a running program, it frees up RAM memory. Be advised that, when you stop a program here, any unsaved data in that program is lost. To free up memory without risking data loss, return to the running program, save your data, and close the application.

Power

Power system settings contains three tabs: Battery and Advanced.

Battery Tab

For more information, see Batteries on page 3-14.

Advanced Tab

Determines power time-outs.

For On battery power, select from the drop-down list, the number of minutes of inactivity you want to pass before the terminal powers off when running on battery power.

For On external power, select from the drop-down list, the number of minutes of inactivity you want to pass before the terminal powers off when running on external power.

Note: You can also set automatic turn-off times for the terminal to conserve power. When the terminal is “turned

off,” that means that it goes into suspend mode; see Suspend Mode on page 3-17.

Remove Programs

Remove Programs enables you to remove programs installed on the terminal. Use this setting to troubleshoot when you receive messages that the terminal is out of memory. The programs removed are removed from RAM memory. Any program (usually CAB or DLL files) stored in the Autoinstall folder (My Device > IPSM > Autoinstall) will re-install after the next hard reset.

For information about the hard reset process, see Hard Reset (Cold Boot) on page 3-17.

Working with GSM

Overview

The Dolphin 9900 can be configured with an integrated, embedded GSM/GPRS 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).

Quad Band Antenna

Dolphin terminals configured with a GSM radio feature an external antenna that is optimized for power output and receiver sensitivity. This is an omni-directional antenna with zero dBm gain.

For the MC-75 radio, 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 phone (voice) connection; see page 8-5.

The signal strength of the data connection; see page 8-8.

Voice and Data Communication

Battery Well

SIM Card Door

Battery Interface

Dolphin terminals with integrated GSM/GPRS radios are optimized for the following two-way voice and data communications:

Voice: GSM voice data ("dial-up") Data: GPRS Class 10: Data transmissions average 40-60 Kbps (available speed depends on the

wireless network carrier).

You can use the GSM radio for voice communication and data communication but not at the same time. If you want to communicate over the phone (voice), you cannot send data. If you want to send data, you cannot use the phone.

SIM Card Installation

Short for Subscriber Information Module, a SIM card stores the subscriber's personal information, GSM/ GPRS radio settings, security keys, contacts, etc. SIM cards are installed in compatible mobile devices, enabling you to switch devices without losing personal and setup information.

SIM Card Requirements

Before installing the SIM card:

• T h e S I M c a r d must be activated by the service provider.

• T h e t e r m i n a l must be powered down.

Note: If no SIM card is installed, you can still make emergency phone calls such as 9-1-1, for example.

To Install a SIM Card

On the Dolphin 9900 terminal, access to the SIM card is located under the battery well, which enables easy access to the SIM card while securing it under an installed battery.

1. Put the terminal in suspend mode and lay it face-down on a flat surface.

2. Remove the battery pack.

3. Unscrew the faceplate of the SIM card door. You must use a Torx T6 wrench. You can purchase this wrench from Honeywell, part number 100001700.

4. Insert your SIM card. Make sure the interface on the card is connected to the SIM Card interface in the slot; the beveled corner is in the upper right corner.
