2.8” (1/4) VGA (Video Graphic Array) is transmissive active matrix color, backlit, and the
resolution is 240 x 320; see Display Backlight on page 3-3.
6100s 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 high volume interfacing with the touch screen. For more information, see Using
Screen Protectors on page 3-3. You can purchase additional screen protectors by
contacting your Honeywell sales representative.
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, you generally achieve greater accuracy with the
stylus for buttons or icons that are close together.
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.
3 - 2

programmed to turn off after the terminal has been idle for a specified period of time.
To adjust the intensity of the backlight while on battery power, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel >
double tap Backlight.
Screen Backlight - Battery/External Power
Move the slider to adjust the screen backlight while on battery power.
You may turn the screen backlight off if the device is not used for a designated
period of time by checking the option and designating the desired time period.
You may also turn on the screen backlight when a button is pressed or the
screen is tapped by selecting the appropriate checkbox.
Note: Using the backlight option while on battery power substantially reduces battery
life.
You may make the same changes when on external power by tapping the
External tab.
Keyboard Backlight
The intensity of the backlight of the keys on the keyboard may be changed and
the backlight may be programmed to remain on for a specified period of time
once a key is pressed.
To adjust the brightness of the keys, tap the Keyboard tab. Move the slider
to adjust the backlight while on battery power.
Turn on the keyboard backlight, check the checkbox and change the duration
the backlight.
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. Contact a Honeywell sales
representative 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’s 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.
3 - 3
Removing the Screen Protector
6100s ship with a touch screen protector already installed. To replace the screen protector, you must
remove the one already installed.
1. Press the Power key to put the terminal in suspend mode.
2. Using a strong, flat, plastic card (e.g., credit card) wedge the edge of the card under the existing
screen protector. Catch the edge of the screen protector and pull it up and away from the touch
panel.
Note: If you have one, you can also use the small plastic squeegees designed for touch panels.
3. Wipe the screen with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
Note: Use ionized air, if available, to blow additional dirt or particles off the touch panel.
Installing Your Screen Protector
When installing a new screen protector, use a flat plastic card (e.g., credit card) to apply the screen
protector smoothly and remove any air bubbles.
Note: If you have one, you can also use the small plastic squeegees designed for touch panels.
1. Press the Power key to put the terminal in suspend mode.
2. Clean the touch panel thoroughly with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Make sure nothing is on
