Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Information

This product has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment, if not properly disposed.
1 - 4 Rev (a) 02
3/5/08
Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer
User’s Guide–Preliminary
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems for product disposal. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of the product you are disposing in a sound way.
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol informs you that the product should not be disposed of along with municipal waste and invites you to use the appropriate separate take-back systems for product disposal.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration.
You may also contact your supplier for more information on the environmental performances of this product.

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.

ActiveSync Communication

!
To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.5 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate communication.
If ActiveSync 4.5 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Microsoft Companion CD that came with the Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, and follow the directions on your screen.
Note: You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com and install.
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host PC with a peripheral device sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase,
Dolphin Mobile Base, Dolphin Net Base, Dolphin Mobile Charger or other Dolphin 9900 Series charging/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty.

Capabilities

• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can
synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For
example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

Communication Types

The Dolphin 7600 supports the following types of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O
Connector (see page 3-9) on the bottom panel:
USB The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a
workstation or to networked through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal supports full-speed USB communication (USB 1.1); maximum data transfer rate is 12 Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box.
RS-232 The RS-232 cable allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a workstation, modem, or any
RS-232 device. Maximum data transfer rate is 115 Kbps.

Hardware Requirements for Setup

• Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin communication cable
• Dolphin power cable from Honeywell
• USB Cable (for USB communication)
• Serial Cable (for RS-232 communication)
• ActiveSync v4.5 or higher installed on the host workstation
• Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher) or
Windows XP computer.

Software Requirements for Communication

For USB communication, check
Allow USB connections.
For RS-232 communication, connect to
COM1.
To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation
before
you initiate
synchronization from the terminal for the first time.

Setting Up the Host Workstation

Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File > Connection Settings.
Note: You can have both USB and RS-232 selected in the software without affecting processing. However, your
hardware setup should use only RS-232 or USB, not both.

Communicating with the Dolphin Terminal

After setting up both the workstation and the terminal, ActiveSync connection should be automatic.
1. Connect the Dolphin terminal to the a communication peripheral, such as the Dolphin HomeBase.
2. The Dolphin terminal automatically opens ActiveSync to establish a connection.

Synchronizing with the Host Workstation

After setup, synchronization begins automatically whenever the terminal’s mechanical connector connects to a Dolphin peripheral that is connected to a host workstation with ActiveSync installed.

Exploring the Terminal from the Workstation

When the terminal and workstation are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the desktop), and click Explore.
