The HHP Dolphin 9500RF and Dolphin 9550RF are in conformity with all essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive (1999/
5/EC). This equipment has been assessed to the following standards:
Parameter Specification
R&TTE EN 300 328-2:2000
EN 301 489-1 (August 2000)
EN 301 489-17 (Sept. 2000)
EN 60950: 1992 Incl Amdt 1-4,11
EN 50361: 2001
This product is marked with in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the R&TTE
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
Note: Dolphin 9550 terminals do not support GSM radios.
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.
Care and Cleaning of the Dolphin 9500/9550
When needed, clean the image engine window and the LCD display with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. The terminal can
be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Resetting the Terminal
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
You would perform a soft reset if the terminal fails to respond. The soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data.
1. Press and hold the Control (CTRL) and the Shift (SFT) keys for approximately five seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Today screen displays.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset resets the operating system, restores the terminal back to factory defaults, and resets the terminal after a bootloader,
keyboard, and kernel upgrade.
A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and all RAM installed applications.

1. Press and hold the Control (CTRL) and the Escape (ESC) keys for approximately five seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs light for approximately three seconds.
3. The terminal re-initializes (see page 2-8 for details).
Suspend Mode
To put the Dolphin terminal into suspend mode manually, press and hold the POWER key. The terminal goes into suspend mode
automatically when the terminal is inactive for a programmed period of time. For more information, see Power on page 5-11.
To wake the Dolphin terminal from suspend mode, press the Power or SCAN key.
The Dolphin terminal also goes into suspend mode if you remove the main battery pack while the terminal is powered on. To
wake the Dolphin terminal from suspend mode, simply install a fully charged battery. The terminal powers on.
If the main battery and back-up battery are ever fully discharged of power, the terminal performs a hard reset when power
is restored. The terminal will be restored to its original state. All data stored in RAM memory will be lost.
