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 Mobile Computer
User’s Guide–Preliminary

Rev (b): Preliminary

9/29/2008

1 - 3

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 appropria te 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.

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 high­volume 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 finge r. The meth od you choose
depends on which one is most appropriate for your application. While there is a gr eat deal of variat ion 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 2-5.

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 warran ty.

Display Backlight

The touch screen display has a backlight that is programmed to turn off after a specified period of time
that the terminal is idle. For details, see Backlight on page 6-8.

Using Screen Protectors

Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display as using a screen pro tector 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 accordin g to the average level
of touch panel use in your application.

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

0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Honeywell warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel display 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 terminals ship with a touch screen protector already installed. To replace the screen protector,
you must remove the one already installed.
