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.
1 - 4 Rev B
1/17/2007
Dolphin® 7600 Series 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.

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 3-11)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-13)
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
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand
Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or bat
!
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 3-14) 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 9-1)
• 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 10-1)
Charging Time
Both Li-ion battery packs require four hours to charge to full capacity.
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 3-11.
To Res u m e Te rminal O p e ration
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.
