Operating System

Microsoft® Windows® CE is a compact, highly efficient, scalable operating system. Its open architecture and minimal memory requirements facilitate development of applications for energyefficient data collection devices like the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal. The graphical interface also makes the device more user-friendly.

Memory

Main Board

The memory configuration for the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminals is 32 MB RAM and 32 MB FLASH.

Compact Flash Card

Dolphin 7400/7450 terminals have one Type I compact flash card socket for additional application and data storage capacity. Additional modular compact flash upgrades of 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB are available through an authorized HHP service center. The compact flash card socket is not user accessible, to preserve the terminal’s environmental rating.

Radio Options

Dolphin 7400/7450 terminals have one Type II PCMCIA card slot to allow for an interface with wireless network adapter cards. Radio options currently available include the Cisco® 342 (FCC #LDK102035) and Cisco® 352 (FCC #HD5-7400-352) series network cards and the Spectrum24® 2Mbs (FCC #HD5-7400-3021).

1/4 VGA Display

The Dolphin 7400/7450 screen is a non-touch 240 x 320 pixel 1/4 VGA industrial protective lens display. The electroluminescent backlight allows you to view the display in low light conditions. To conserve power, the backlight may be programmed to automatically turn off after a prescribed amount of time. The contrast may be adjusted with the contrast keys.

The Dolphin 7400/7450 display may be equipped with a touchscreen that can be activated with a stylus or finger.

ON/SCAN Key

The ON/SCAN key is centrally located for easy use with the right or the left hand. On the 7450 terminal, the ON/SCAN key operates as an On or system wakeup control; scanning is activated with the handle trigger.

Cursor Keys

The centrally located cursor keys allow full Windows® navigation.

Audio Signals

The Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal has an internal speaker that sounds audio signals as you scan bar code labels and enter data. Signals are emitted at a sound level of 80 dB sound pressure level at two feet. The operating frequency range is 500 Hz up to 8 kHz. The speaker can also be used for playing sounds using WAV files.

Keyboard

The Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal’s keyboard features epoxy-coated keys and is backlit for easy use in dark and dim lighting conditions. The keyboard’s yellow background enhances the readability of the numeric keys. The centrally located ON/SCAN key and other important keys allow for easy imaging, bar code scanning and application navigation. All keyboard versions are suited for righthanded and left-handed use.
