Battery Power

The intelligent battery technology built into the terminal features two types of battery power:

•The main battery pack installed under the battery door on the back panel.

•The backup battery located inside the terminal.

Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.

Main Battery Pack

!Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

The 7.4V, 14.1 watt hour li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal and the internal backup battery. The li-ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F).

Installing the Main Battery Pack

Press Blue + Backlight keys to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-15) before installing a new battery.

Mechanical Switch

The battery well area contains a mechanical switch located under the battery door. When the battery door is securely fastened, it presses on the mechanical switch allowing the terminal to power on and operate normally.

When the battery door is removed, it no longer presses on the mechanical switch,

which automatically suspends terminal Mechanical Switch operation. The terminal will not resume

normal operations again until the battery door is re-fastened.

The mechanical switch works as described only when the terminal is running on battery power. If the terminal is running on AC power (via Dolphin charging peripheral), the mechanical switch will not suspend the terminal when the battery door is open.

If you open the battery door and remove the battery while the terminal is connected to AC power, the terminal will continue operating. However, if you remove AC power while the battery door is open and the battery is removed, the terminal will shut down without suspending and you will lose RAM data. To avoid data loss when removing AC power, always either suspend the terminal or install the battery prior to removing AC power.

Charging Options

When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals to charge the main battery pack:

•Dolphin HomeBase Device (see page 9-1)

•Dolphin ChargeBase (see page 11-1)

•One of the charging cables (see page 12-1)

To fully charge the li-ion battery outside the terminal, use one of the following:

•Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 10-1)

•Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase device

Charge Time

A completely discharged li-ion battery pack requires four(4) hours to charge to full capacity. Subsequent charge times vary according to the charge level of the battery pack when charging begins.

The li-ion battery packs that ship with Dolphin terminals are completely discharged of power. Therefore, charge the main battery pack for a minimum of four(4) hours prior to using the terminal on battery power.

Internal Backup Battery

Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6V nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery.

The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. The backup 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 are not totally lost, but the terminal does automatically cold boot 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(8) hours charge time to backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main battery for four(4) 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(8) 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 terminal’s internal backup battery:

•Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the terminal.

•Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use.

Managing 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 terminal. 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 trigger does not wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.

Default Critical and Low Battery Points

Dolphin terminals are programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The following registry entry sets both warning points:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]

There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: LowBatt and CriticalBatt. The default values for these entries are as follows:

“LowBatt”=19 (25%)

This sets the Low Battery point to 25% (19 hex=25 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar .

If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN or Power button won’t wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a battery charged over 25% mark before you can resume terminal operation.

“CriticalBatt”=a (10%)

This sets the Critical Battery point to 10% (a hex= 0 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar .

Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.

Setting Critical and Low Battery Points

Developers can re-reset the default battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool.

1.Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit.

2.Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power. The CriticalBatt and LowBatt values appear in the list.

3.Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data. You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would warn whenever the charge drops below 99%).

4.Tap OK to save changes.

Note: For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User’s Guide, which is available for download at www.honeywell.com/aidc.

Storage Guidelines

To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:

•Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4° to 104° F (-20° to 40°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 Pack Use and Disposal

The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:

•Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may pose a personal hazard to the user.

•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 use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.

•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.

•If you observe that the battery is physically damaged in some way, please send it to Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection.

•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 Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection.
