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.

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.

Battery Power

The Dolphin 7600 features intelligent battery technology with two types of battery power:

• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-17)

• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-19) 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 Dolphin 7600 for the first time!

Main Battery Pack

There are two Li-ion battery packs available for the Dolphin 7600:

Standard Li-ion 3.7V/2200mAh/8.1Wh Optional Li-ion 3.7V/3240mAh/12.0Wh

The Li-ion battery packs are the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as 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 3-20) 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:

• Dolphin HomeBase (see page 8-1)

• Dolphin Charge/Comm Cable; Connecting the USB Cable (see page 6-2)

• Dolphin Power Cable (see page 2-1) To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing in the terminal, use the

• Dolphin QuadCharger (see page 9-1)

Charging Time

Both Li-ion battery packs require four hours to charge to full capacity.

Dolphin® 7600 User’s Guide Rev D

10/18/2007

3 - 17

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.

Checking Battery Power

Power icons appear in the command bar at the bottom of the window. For example, indicates a low battery. Double-tap on this icon at any time to open the Power system setting. The Battery tab opens displaying the charge status of both the main and backup batteries.

Note: To manually check battery power, also tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > double-tap Power .

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 Use and Disposal

The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:

• Use only the battery supplied, recommended, or approved by Hand Held Products.

• 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 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.

• 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 Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand

Held Products service center for inspection.

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.

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 device without losing RAM data. You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software applications that require a reboot,

or 3) after making changes to certain system settings.

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 Desktop 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 command bar

to open the Clock setting and set the time and date.

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 3-17.

To Resume Terminal Operation

To resume terminal operation (or “wake” the terminal from suspend mode),

• Press the Blue + Backlight keys. OR

• Press the Scan key .

Troubleshooting Suspend/Resume

If the terminal does not wake when you press the Scan key, the main battery might be too low to resume operation. To check, remove the battery and install a fully charged battery or connect the terminal to a Dolphin charging peripheral.

Changing the Memory Allocation

You can adjust file storage vs. program memory in System Properties.

1. Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Memory tab.

2. Move the slider to adjust the memory allocation and tap OK. The changes take effect immediately.

Format IPSM

“IPSM” stands for Internal Persistent Storage Manager. It’s a folder at the root level of the device. The contents of this folder are stored in non-volatile memory, which means that the data, programs, registry files, and settings stored in this folder persist through cold boots and are not erased. Store those items you would like to keep stored in the terminal on a permanent basis in this folder.

To access the IPSM folder, tap Start > Programs > Windows Explorer > IPSM .

The Format IPSM setting formats the IPSM file system. Think of this like "format c:" on your desktop; it will erase all the files in the specified partition.

Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > double-tap Format IPSM .

Care and Cleaning of the Dolphin Terminal

When needed, clean the image engine window and the LCD display with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. The terminal can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Toggling Between Alpha and Numeric Modes

The 29-key keyboard defaults to numeric mode, which means that the keyboard boots up to numeric mode after each hard reset. Numeric mode is when you type numbers with the number keys. Alpha mode is when you type letters or characters with the

number keys. The keyboard switches between alpha and numeric modes easily. The command bar displays an icon that indicates the status of the keyboard so that you can see which mode you’re in when

toggling; see Alpha/Numeric Indicator on page 4-3.

Switching to Alpha Mode

To switch modes, tap the Blue modifier key as follows:

• Single-tap to switch only the next character pressed to alpha mode.

The keyboard automatically switches back to numeric mode for the next key pressed.

Double-tap again to switch back to numeric mode permanently.

Alpha Indicators

Each number key has a blue section with white characters inside it that indicate which letter or symbol is typed when you press that key in alpha mode.

Please note that when typing in alpha mode, you must use the same multi-press method you would use when typing letters on a phone keypad. Each key press types the next letter in the sequence as displayed by the alpha indicator.

Note: You can still use regular Blue key combinations in alpha mode by pressing and holding the Blue modifier key with the next

key in the combination. For combinations, see 29-Key Blue Key Combinations (Alpha Mode) on page 4-7.

Shift Functionality

In Alpha Mode

When you switch the keyboard to alpha mode, letters type in lowercase by default. To capitalize letters, tap the SFT key as follows:

• Single-tap to capitalize only to the next letter pressed.

• Double-tap to turn CAPS LOCK on and off.

In Numeric Mode

Numeric mode is the default keyboard mode. When the keyboard is in numeric mode, tap the SFT key once to produce special characters; see 29-Key Shift Functionality in Numeric Mode on page 4-7.

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 Side Button on page 3-11), which are programmed to activate the image engine in a scanning application by default.

Using Demos

Dolphin 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 > Programs > 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.handheld.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 > Programs > 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. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.

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 > Programs > Demos > Image Demo.

2. Point the Dolphin 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 until the preview on the screen appears as you want it to appear in the image.

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 (from the Desktop, tap My Device ).

To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As.

High-Vis Aiming Pattern

If your Dolphin 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.

ActiveSync Communication

For USB communication, check Allow USB connections.

For RS-232 communication, connect to COM1.

To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 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 4.1 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 click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, 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 must be connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin Charge/Communication cable. Use of any

peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty.

Wireless Radios

There are two radio options: 802.11b/g and Bluetooth.

1. 802.11b/g: see WLAN (802.11b/g Radio) on page 6-6.

2. Bluetooth: see Bluetooth Manager on page 7-1.

Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network

You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth). Each radio has its own configuration program and requires specific information about the wireless network to connect. Successful connection depends heavily on your network infrastructure about which you will need specific information from your network administrator.

WLAN (802.11b/g Radio)

Dolphin 7600s can have a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b/g, Wi-Fi-compliant products including access points (APs), PCs via PC card adapters, and other wireless portable devices.

By default, the 802.11b/g radio is enabled after each hard reset, which means that the radio begins transmitting a signal as soon as the terminal finishes booting up. The next step is to configure the connection parameters of the radio to connect to a wireless network.

Configuring the WLAN Radio

The WLAN radio is configured in the Hand Held Products WLAN Security Supplicant which you access by double-tapping the program icon in the command tray on the Today screen .

For complete configuration instructions, download the Hand Held Products WLAN Security Supplicant User’s Guide from

Dolphin HomeBase

Overview

As the hub of your Dolphin 7600 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports full-speed USB

1.1 communication with a workstation. You can also purchase a serial RS-232 Dolphin HomeBase.

Battery Charging

The HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. In addition to charging, the HomeBase powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery

from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity.

As a result, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the HomeBase indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals.

Communication

The Dolphin HomeBase can communicate via USB or serial RS-232. Data transmission for USB is up to 12 Mbps. Data transmission for serial RS-232 is up to 115 Kbps.

HomeBases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–but can be networked together via serial or USB hubs.

Convenient Storage

The battery charging system makes the HomeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.

Capacity

The HomeBase holds one Dolphin 7600 terminal and charges its battery pack.

Power Supply

The power cable that ships with each unit (see Charge the Batteries on page 2-1) also powers the Dolphin HomeBase.

Pivot Connector

This pivoting connector swivels 90 degrees. The default position is horizontal, with the connectors facing straight

out the back panel. The pivot connector stops in both the horizontal and vertical positions, with the connectors facing out the bottom panel.

DC Power Jack

Connect the power cable to this power jack; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase on page 8-3.

USB Port

Powering the Dolphin HomeBase

The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from Hand Held Products convert the voltage appropriately.

The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the HomeBase. This cable contains a plug adapter for each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.).

1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.

2. Plug the power cable into the power source.

3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel.

When a terminal is properly seated in the terminal well, the HomeBase powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync

Communication on page 6-3).

Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the HomeBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.

This USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the HomeBase to a USB-compliant device

to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information about ActiveSync setup, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-3.

Note: You can also purchase a serial HomeBase with a standard DB9 connector for RS-232 communication.

The HomeBase is now powered.

Charging the Main Battery

The HomeBase powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in less than four hours.

As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.

Inserting a Terminal

1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Main Battery on

page 2-1.

2. Power the Dolphin HomeBase; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase

on page 8-3.

3. Slide the terminal into the terminal well until the Dock LED lights green

to indicate that the terminal is properly seated.

4. The battery pack begins charging.

Battery Charging

Inserting and Removing Battery Packs

To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion.

To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery away from the charging slot with a hinging motion.

Charging Process

The QuadCharger charges Dolphin 7600 Li-ion battery packs in four hours. Each charging slot works independently of the other three. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.

Temperature

The QuadCharger charges Dolphin 7600 Li-ion battery packs in four hours when charged within the recommended temperature range of 50° to 95° F (10° to 35°C). Temperature has a significant effect on charging. For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before inserting in the QuadCharger.

When the battery temperature exceeds 40°C, the QuadCharger may exceed the stated four-hour charge time. The QuadCharger stops charging if the battery temperature is greater than 40°C but will begin charging again when the battery

temperature is less than 40°C.

To Charge Batteries in the QuadCharger

1. Supply the QuadCharger with power and turn the power switch on.

2. Insert batteries into the appropriate slots.

The Status LED for each slot turns orange to indicate that the battery is properly seated and has begun a charge cycle.

3. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging.

Recommendations for Storing Batteries

To maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines:

• Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature 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.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems with the QuadCharger, refer to chart below for possible solutions. If problems persist, please contact

Technical Assistance (see page 11-2).

Problem Issue

The Status LED does not come on when I insert a battery pack into a slot.

The Status LED lights red during charging.

The Status LED lights red and stays on without a battery in the charging slot.

Check the power connections on the Dolphin QuadCharger; make sure the POWER switch is ON and the battery pack is properly seated.

Try to charge the battery in one of the other charging slots. If the red Status LED comes on again, then the problem is associated with the battery pack. If the red status stays with the charging slot, the problem is associated with the charging circuitry.

An error occurred during the self-diagnostic test for that particular charging pocket. Call Hand Held Products Product Service and Repair (see page 11-1) to request an RMA.
