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 Dolphin 9500 Series Terminals

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.

Step 3. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries

The power supply for the Dolphin mobile computer consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack installed on the back panel and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.

The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and maintains the application data stored in RAM and system clock for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main battery pack is completely discharged or removed.

Before Initial Use	The terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. Charge the main battery pack
	for a minimum of four hours before initial use.
Time to Charge	Four hours for the main battery pack, eight hours for the internal backup battery the first time.

Use only Dolphin 9500 Series peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of peripherals, cables, or power

!adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.

Charging with Dolphin Peripherals

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 9500 Series HomeBase (see page 12-1)

•Dolphin 9500 Series Mobile Base (see page 13-1)

•Dolphin 9500 Series ChargeBase (see page 14-1)

•Dolphin 9500 Series Net Base

•Dolphin 9500 Series Charging/Communication Cable

To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing it in the terminal, use the

•Dolphin 9500 Series QuadCharger (see page 15-1)

•Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase (see page 12-6)

Step 4. Initialize the Mobile Computer

1.Power on the terminal by pressing the POWER or SCAN key. The decode LED lights and the scan LED blinks for approximately three seconds. Do NOT press any keys while the terminal is booting up.

2.The terminal initializes and the splash screen displays for a few seconds. The Build numbers indicate the software version.

3. The system performs a hard reset. When the display activates again, follow the instructions that appear.

Step 5. Align the Screen

You are prompted to align the screen by tapping the target five times. Use the stylus provided by Hand Held Products.

•Alignment should always be performed with a stylus designed for touch screen applications. The small point is required for accurate calibration.

•Press the stylus firmly into the center of the cross-hair target once and release. Do not “double-tap” the target.

•You can re-align the screen at any time by going to Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.

Step 6. Let Autoinstall Run

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 Series install Demos and Utilities. If the terminal is configured with a wireless radio, the appropriate radio drivers 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.

Step 7. Set 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.

On the Today screen, tap the line that displays the time and date,

The Clock Settings screen appears.

The time zone defaults to GMT-5 Eastern US; tap the arrow to select another time zone. Set the correct time and date in the remaining fields.
