FCC Compliance
Dolphin Batch terminals comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Dolphin RF Terminal—802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user
may find the following booklet helpful: “Something About Interference.” This is available at FCC local regional offices. Our
company is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the
substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by our company. The correction is the
responsibility of the user. Use only shielded data cables with this system.
In accordance with FCC 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hand Held Products, Inc. may void the FCC
authorization to operate the equipment.
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines for body-worn operation, do not use
!
accessories that contain metallic components.
When using accessories where the terminal is worn on the body, the terminal’s touch screen must face away from the body.
CAUTION! Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.

For European Community Users
Hand Held Products complies with Directive 2002/69/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27
January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
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® 7600 User’s Guide
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 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.

3 - 2 Rev D
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 3-3.
Dolphin 7600 devices 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. Hand Held Products
recommends using screen protectors, especially for applications that require high-volume 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 2-3.
Use of objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens on the touch screen can damage the input panel and
will void the warranty.

Using Screen Protectors
Hand Held Products 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.
Hand Held Products 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 Hand Held Products. Please contact a Hand Held Products sales
associate for details.
Hand Held Products 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 Hand Held Products stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Hand Held Products 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.
Removing the Screen Protector
Dolphin 7600s ship with a touch screen protector already installed. To replace the screen protector, you must remove the one
already installed.
1. You will need a strong, flat, plastic card (a credit card, for example) to wedge under the existing screen protector.
Note: If you have one, you can also use the small plastic squeegees designed for touch panels.
2. Press the Blue + Backlight keys to put the terminal in suspend mode.

Side Button
Side Door
There is a button like this on both side panels. By default, these buttons wake the terminal from suspend mode
unless you are in a scanning application, in which case, these buttons activate the image/scan engine. Scanning
with the side buttons can be a more comfortable and therefore a more ergonomic alternative to pressing the SCAN
key on the keyboard.
These buttons can be programmed to launch applications from the Desktop. For more information about
programming these buttons, see Customizing a Hardware Button on page 4-5.
The rubber door on the left side panel provides access to the Headset and DC power jacks.
When closed, the side door seals the terminal from moisture and particle intrusion thus preserving the terminal’s
environmental rating.
