Directive, 1999/5/EC.

 

The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. Its authorization for use in France is restricted as follows:

PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402 - 2.480 GHz

Restricted Frequency Range for use in France: 2.448 - 2.480 GHz

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 will have 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.

Using the Dolphin 9500/9550 for the First Time

Terminology Note

In this manual, the terms “click” and “tap” are used interchangeably. Both mean using the stylus or a

 

finger on the touch screen of the Dolphin 9500/9550 to perform a task. Those tasks usually direct you

 

to click or tap an operation button or icon.

Follow these steps to begin using your Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal.

1Unpack and check the terminal and documentation.

2Install the main battery pack and charge it and the internal backup battery completely.

3Start the Dolphin mobile computer.

4Align the screen.

5Set the time zone.

6Wait for the Autoinstall to finish.

7Verify that the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal is working properly.

Step 1. Unpack the Carton and Check its Contents

Inspect the package to see that the following items and accessories (if ordered) are included:

Dolphin 9500/9550 mobile computer

Battery pack (7.4v Li-Ion)

CD-ROM–Dolphin 9500/9550 Software Development Kit and User’s Guide

CD-ROM–Microsoft companion CD

Dolphin 9500 Quick Start Guide

Note: Be sure to keep the original packaging in the event that the Dolphin terminal should need to be returned for service.

Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries

WARNING! Use only the battery packs provided by HHP. The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.

The Li-Ion battery is packaged separately and ships discharged of all power. It must be charged completely before initial use. When installed in the terminal, the battery pack can be charged in the HomeBase, Mobile Base, or with the appropriate charging cable. When not installed in the terminal, battery packs can be charged in the QuadCharger or the auxiliary well of the HomeBase.

The internal backup battery maintains the application data stored in RAM and system clock when the terminal’s main battery pack is discharged or removed from the terminal.

Time to Charge: Four hours for the main battery pack, eight hours for the internal backup battery the first time.

Install the main battery pack

1Unpack the main battery pack. Hold the terminal with the front panel (keyboard) facing down.

2The Dolphin 9500 ships with the handstrap installed and fastened with a clip on the back of the bottom panel. Push the clip of the handstrap down and away from the terminal to unhook it. Move the strap up and away from the battery compartment.

3Insert the end without the locking tab into the top of the battery well and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The battery case serves as the back cover of the terminal.

4For the 9500, reattach the handstrap by positioning it down over the battery case and sliding the clip back into the place.

Note: To remove the battery pack, loosen the handstrap as directed above, press the locking tab on the battery pack away from the bottom panel, and pull the battery pack up with a hinging motion.

Charging with the HomeBase or Mobile Base

5Connect the base unit to the appropriate power source.

6Place the terminal in the terminal well of the base unit. The main battery begin charging immediately.

Charging with a serial or USB cable

Honeywell 950006 Users Manual

Step 4. Align the Screen

After a hard reset, you are prompted to align the screen:

Tap the Target

Use the stylus shipped with your Dolphin terminal to tap the target wherever it appears on the screen.

Alignment should always be performed with a stylus designed for touch screen applications. The small point is required for accurate calibration. The stylus should be oriented at a 90 degree angle to the screen surface.

Press the stylus firmly into the center of the cross-hair target once and release. Do not “double-tap” the target. You will be prompted to repeat this process for a total of five targets.

Note: You can align the screen at any time in the future by going to Start > Settings > System tab > Screen > Align Screen.

After aligning the screen, follow the directions on the screen which take you through a simple exercise showing how to use the stylus and pop-up menus.

Note: HHP recommends using screen protectors for Dolphin 9500/9550 terminals; especially for those terminals used within applications that require high-volume interfacing with the touch screen. Screen protectors help prevent damage to the touch screen and are easily installed. Screen protectors can be purchased at any major computer retail store or directly from HHP, Inc. Please contact HHP directly for part numbers and pricing.

Dolphin® 9500/9550 Mobile Computer User’s Guide

Step 5. Set the Time Zone

After screen alignment is completed, the Location screen shown below displays.

Setting Time Zone

Use the drop-down menu to select your time zone, and tap Next. This does not necessarily set the correct time; only the time zone. You set the time and date manually. See Setting the Time and Date on page -11..

After setting the time zone, you are finished with the initial setup of your Dolphin mobile computer. The system begins autoinstalling.
