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.

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.

Step 7. Set the Time Zone

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

Use the drop-down list 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 -10.

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

Step 8. Autoinstall

For each program that loads, a status bar indicates that the program is loading. Autoinstall occurs after each hard reset. Do NOT touch the keyboard or the screen while programs are loading.

All configurations of the Dolphin 9500/9550 install HHP Demos and HHP Utilities. If the terminal is configured with a wireless radio, the appropriate radio drivers (*.cabs) and utilities for each radio install.

After Autoinstall is complete, the terminal performs a soft reset automatically. When it finishes booting up after the soft reset, the Today screen appears; see Today Screen on page 4-2.

Setting the Time and Date

You need to re-set the time and date after every hard reset of the terminal. It is a good idea to set the time and date now before you begin using the device.

To set the time and date, go to Start > Settings > Systems tab > Clock to set the date and time.

Step 9. Verifying Operations with HHP Demos

The Dolphin 9500/9550 mobile computer comes loaded with HHP Demos you can use to verify imaging and decoding.

Verify Imaging

The Image Demo enables you to use the imager to capture an image.

1.Go to Start > HHP Demos > Image Demo. The image demo opens.

2.Point the terminal at an object and press the SCAN key. A preview of the object appears on the terminal screen.

3.Release the SCAN key. The image is captured. By default, the image saves to the My Device folder as “imagedemo.jpg.” To save to a different location, go to File > Save As and select a new location.

4.Press the ESC key to close the demo.

For more information about taking an image, see Imager on page 4-6.

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.
