\IPSM\Honeywell
The IPSM folder is the only partition on the terminal that persists across a kernel upgrade (*.UPG file extension). During a kernel upgrade, files are automatically copied from the \IPSM\Honeywell folder and then installed in the \Honeywell (root file system) folder as part of the upgrade process.
\IPSM\Honeywell\AutoInstall
The files in the IPSM\Honeywell\AutoInstall folder are only installed when a factory reset or kernel upgrade occurs. Once the files are installed, they persist through hard and soft resets. If a file is added to the folder and a hard or soft reset is performed, it will have no effect. If a program is manually removed using the Remove Programs application (see page 7-16), then the program is not automatically re-installed on a hard or soft reset.
\Honeywell
The Honeywell partition or root file system partition is persistent over a hard reset, soft reset, and the removal of the battery pack or the removal of AC power. However, during a kernel upgrade or factory reset, the root file system is reformatted so all data in the folder is deleted and replaced by any files in the \IPSM\Honeywell folder as part of the upgrade process.
To prevent data loss, back up all user data to an SD card or external memory device before performing an upgrade or factory reset.
\Honeywell\AutoInstall
If you run a CAB file from within the \Honeywell\AutoInstall folder, after the program has been installed, the CAB file will be deleted. However, the program remains installed through all successive hard and soft resets.
If you want the program to be part of the Autoinstall that occurs after a factory reset or software upgrade, paste the program file(s) into the \IPSM\Honeywell\Autoinstall folder.
Contact a Honeywell technical support representative for information on how to perform a factory reset or for information on available software upgrades for your Dolphin terminal. For contact information, see
Product Service and Repair on page 13-1.
Note:To prevent data loss, back up all user data to an SD card or external memory device before performing an upgrade.

Turning Power On/Off
Preliminary 2013-09-16
To turn the terminal On, press the Power button .
To turn the terminal Off:
1. Press and hold the Power button for approximately 4 seconds until the options menu displays.
2. Tap Power off.
Suspend Mode
Suspend mode differs from Power off mode. Power off mode is the equivalent to having no battery or
external power source connected to the device. In Suspend mode, the device enters a low power state to conserve battery power.
Suspend mode automatically turns the system off, which includes turning the screen off to save battery power when the terminal is inactive for a programmed period of time. The automatic timeout limits are adjustable from the Advance tab located under Settings > System > Power (see page 7-14). In addition, Suspend mode also automatically turns off the radio and drivers. The PMIC and main processor wakeup mode clock remain on allowing the system to detect a wakeup interrupt and to resume working.
Press and release the Power button to toggle the terminal in or out of Suspend mode.
Note: You should always place the terminal in Suspend mode before removing the battery.
Resetting the Terminal
There are three types of system resets: a Soft Reset, a Hard Reset, or a Factory Reset. The soft and hard resets preserve all data stored in the file system. Contact a Honeywell technical support represen­tative for more information on how to perform a Factory Reset. For contact information, see Technical
Assistance on page 13-1.
A Soft Reset (Warm Boot) re-boots the device and preserves any objects created in RAM. You would perform a soft reset when: the terminal fails to respond, after installing some software applications, or after making changes to certain system settings, such as network cards.
A Hard Reset (Cold Boot) re-boots the terminal and closes any open applications running in RAM at the time of the reset.
To perform a Soft Reset or Hard Reset:
1. Press and hold the Power button until the options menu appears.
2. Tap Soft Reset or Hard Reset on the menu.
3. When the reset is complete, the Home screen displays.
Note: To perform a Hard Reset if the screen has stopped responding, press and hold the Power button for
approximately 8 seconds until the terminal starts to re-boot. When the reset is complete, the Home screen displays.

2.8” (1/4) VGA (Video Graphic Array) is transmissive active matrix color, backlit, and the resolution is 240 x 320; see Backlight on page 7-9. The touch panel is a 4-wire analog resistive touch.
Dolphin 6110s 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. 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.
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 advocates the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin devices. We recommend implementing

signs of damage/wear are noticeable. 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
0.8 mm. 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 twelve (12) months if 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 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 there is no debris on the touch panel.
2. Align the exposed section of the protector with the left 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.
