Dolphin 99EX/99GX Terminals
Dolphin 99EX and 99GX model terminals are designed for use with standard battery pack model 99EXBTSC (Li-poly 3.7V, 11.3 watt hour) and extended battery pack model 99EX-BTEC (Li-ion 3.7V, 18.5
watt hour) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
Dolphin 99EX and 99GX model terminals are not designed for use in hazardous locations.
Note: Before installing the main battery pack, read the Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal on page 2-14.
Initial Setup
Step 1. Install the Main Battery Pack
The terminal is shipped with the battery packaged separate from the unit. Follow the steps below to
install the main battery. For information on how to remove the battery, see Replacing the Main Battery
Pack on page 1-4.
Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the terminal. Mating wet components may cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
1. Release the hook securing the hand strap to the back panel of the terminal near the speaker (99EX
models only).
2. Remove the battery door by lifting up the latches near the base of the battery door.
Note: The battery door is loosely secured to the hand strap on 99EX models or a short unit tether on
99GX models to prevent battery accidental door loss.

Battery Error Notification
If your terminal displays the following indicators, replace the main battery pack with a Honeywell new
Honeywell battery pack. For information on how to remove the main battery pack from the terminal, see
Replacing the Main Battery Pack on page 1-4.
• appears in the Title bar at the top of the touch screen
• The General Notification LED flashes red
• A Notification appears on the Tile bar at the bottom of the touch screen
Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack
that is accessible from 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 memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main battery pack is completely discharged or removed.
Before Initial Use
Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. The initial charging time for the main
battery pack is 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. Connect
the terminal to one of the 99EX series charging peripherals to charge; see Peripherals for the 99EX and
99GX on page 2-3. Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to
initial use to ensure the internal backup battery is fully charged.
Dolphin 99EX and 99GX terminals are designed for use with the following 99EX charging devices and
cables: 99EX-HB, 99EX-EHB, 99EX-NB, 99EX-MB, 99EX-CB, 99EX-DEX, 99EX-RS232, 99EX-MC,
99EX-USB, and 99EXUSBH. See Chapters 11–17 for additional information on the individual device
requirements.
Dolphin 99EX charging peripherals are not designed for use in hazardous locations.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

File Provisioning on the 99EX and 99GX
!
!
\IPSM\Honeywell
The IPSM folder is the only partition on the 99EX that persists across a kernel upgrade (*.UPG file extension). During a kernel upgrade, files are automatically copied from the \IPSM\Honeywell\Autoin-
stall folder and then installed in the \Honeywell (root file system) folder as part of the upgrade
process.
\IPSM\Honeywell\AutoInstall
The files in the IPSM\Honeywell\AutoInstall folder are only installed when a factory reset or ker-
nel upgrade occurs. Once the files are installed, they persist through hard and soft resets. If a file is
added to the folder and a hard or soft reset is performed, it will have no effect. If a program is manually
removed using the Remove Programs application (see page 6-17), then the program is not automatically
re-installed on a hard or soft reset.
\Honeywell
The Honeywell partition or root file system partition is persistent over a Hard Reset, Soft Reset, and the
removal of the battery pack or the removal of AC power. However, during a kernel upgrade the root file
system is reformatted so all data in the folder is deleted and replaced by any files in the \IPSM\Honey-
well\AutoInstall folder as part of the upgrade process.
To prevent data loss, back up all user data to an SD card or external memory device before performing an upgrade.
\Honeywell\AutoInstall
If you run a CAB file from within the \Honeywell\AutoInstall (user store) folder, after the program
has been installed, the CAB file will be deleted from the User Store. The program remains installed
through all successive Hard and Soft resets.
If you want the program to be part of the Autoinstall that occurs after a factory reset or software upgrade,
paste the program file(s) in both the \IPSM\Honeywell\Autoinstall folder and the
\Honeywell\Autoinstall.
Contact a Honeywell technical support representative for information on how to perform a factory reset.

There are three types of system resets: a soft reset, a hard reset, or a factory reset. The soft and hard
resets preserve all data stored in the file system.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the device and preserves any objects created in RAM. You would perform a soft
reset when:
• the terminal fails to respond.
• after installing some software applications.
• after making changes to certain system settings, such as network cards.
1. Press and hold the CTRL + ENTER keys for approximately 5 seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Home screen displays.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset re-boots the device and closes any open applications running in RAM at the time of the
reset.
1. Press and hold the CTRL + ESC keys for approximately 5 seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs light for approximately 3 seconds.
3. The terminal re-initializes.
Factory Reset (Clean Boot)
If the terminal completely stops responding, you may need to perform a Factory Reset (Clean Boot).
Because resetting the terminal can result in data loss, use this method only if all other recovery methods
have failed. When a reset is performed, all personal content is erased (e.g., emails, pictures, contacts)
and all factory default settings are restored on the terminal. The reset discards any account information
you added.
Caution: A Factory Reset (Clean Boot) erases the memory in the terminal, including all
applications and data files, with the exception of those found in the Flash File Store
or any removable storage.
To perform a Factory Reset (Clean Boot):
1. Press and hold the CTRL + ESC keys simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds.
You may hear a clicking sound when you hold the keys down.
2. When the white Honeywell splash screen appears, enter code 1277 on the keyboard.
For terminals with a 34-Key Numeric (Calculator) Keyboard (see page 5-8), enter code 7811 instead
of 1277.

SCAN
The following message appears on the terminal screen:
“All installed applications & customized settings will be deleted. Do you want to proceed?”
4. Press Y for yes, proceed with the Factory Reset.
If you change your mind and do not want to proceed, press N for no and the terminal will launch the
current image instead of a factory reset.
Suspend Mode
The terminal goes into Suspend Mode automatically when the terminal is inactive for a programmed
period of time. You can program this time on the Advance tab of the Power System Setting; see Power
on page 6-16.
To put the terminal into Suspend Mode manually, press the Power key and the screen turns off.
To wake the terminal from Suspend Mode, press the Power key or SCAN key .

5V output may be enabled, see Five Volt Control on page 6-12.
2 - 11
Using the Touch Panel
Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel as using a screen protector and proper stylus.
Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is
why their use is recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface with the
touch panel, such as signature capture for proof of delivery.
Honeywell advocates the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin devices. We recommend implementing
a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen protectors are replaced periodically when
signs of damage/wear are noticeable. Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from
Honeywell. Please contact a Honeywell sales associate for details.
Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than
0.8 mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Honeywell warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first twelve (12) months if a screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12 month duration covered by the warranty.
Installing a Screen Protector
Dolphin terminals ship with a screen protector already installed. You will need to replace the screen protector at regular intervals.
1. After the current screen protector has been removed from the touch panel, clean the touch panel
thoroughly with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Make sure there is no debris on the touch
panel.
2. Align the exposed section of the protector with the bottom edge of the touch panel. Make sure that
the screen protector is flush with each side of the touch panel. To reposition, lift up gently and
reapply.
3. Press the screen protector firmly and carefully across the surface of the touch panel as you peel
away the backing.
4. If necessary, smooth out any air pockets or bumps.
Healthcare Housing
Some configurations of the 99EX terminal are available with an external plastic housing that is designed
to resist the effects of harsh chemicals in a healthcare environment. The plastic is crystalline in nature,
which helps prevent chemicals from seeping through the housing.
Important! The following cleaning solutions have been tested to assure safe cleaning of your terminal’s
disinfectant-ready housing. They are the only solutions approved for use with these
terminals. Damage caused by the use of cleaners other than those listed below may not be
covered by the warranty.

Batteries
There are three types of battery power: the main battery pack installed in the back panel, the backup
battery located inside the terminal and the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery located inside the terminal.
They are designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods.
All batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin terminal for the first time!
Note: The RTC battery will preserve the Real Time Clock 60 days after the main battery and internal backup battery
are fully depleted.
Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result
in damage not covered by the warranty.
•
Dolphin 99EX and 99GX model terminals are designed for use with standard battery pack model
99EX-BTSC (Li-poly 3.7V, 11.3 watt hour) and extended battery pack model 99EX-BTEC (Li-ion 3.7V,
18.5 watt hour) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc. The standard or extended battery pack is
the primary power source for the terminal. The Li-poly and Li-ion battery packs are designed to operate
in a temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F).
CAUTION - Read the Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal on page 2-14 and all cautionary
markings on the battery, charging peripheral, or device using the battery before attempting to install, use, or
charge the battery. Risk of fire and burns if improperly handled. Do not open, crush, heat above 60°C
(140
°F), or incinerate.
When the main battery pack is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals:
• Dolphin 99EX HomeBase Device (Model 99EX-HB) (see page 11-1)
• Dolphin 99EX eBase Device (Model 99EX-EHB) (see page 12-1)

or Li-ion battery pack. For information on how to remove the main battery pack from the terminal, see
Replacing the Main Battery Pack on page 1-4.
• appears in the Title bar at the top of the touch screen.
• The General Notification LED flashes red.
• A Notification appears on the Tile bar at the bottom of the touch screen.
Storing Batteries
To maintain top performance from batteries, avoid storing batteries outside of the following temperature
ranges:
• 14°F to 113°F (-10°C to +45°C) for short term storage of less than one month
• 32°F to 86°F (-0°C to +30°C) for long term storage
Do not store batteries in extremely high humidity. For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in
a charger that is connected to a power source.
Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose
to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
• We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery
may pose a personal hazard to the user.
• Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. Do not use a battery in any other manner
outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.
• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per standard IEEE-
Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage,
or other hazard.
• Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard,
IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or
other hazard.
• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
• Do not short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can explode and cause severe personal injury. Do
not allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.
• If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged, please send it to Honeywell
International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection, see Customer Support on page xi.
• Avoid dropping the terminal or battery. If the terminal or battery is dropped, especially on a hard
surface, and the user suspects damage, send it to a Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized
service center for inspection, see Customer Support on page xi.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or
an authorized service center for inspection.
• Excessive discharge can degrade battery performance. Recharge the battery when your terminal
indicates low battery power.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, the battery life is limited. Replace it after the
battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
2 - 14
Internal Backup Battery
Located inside the terminal is a 3.6 Volt nickel metal hydride (NiMH) backup battery. The backup battery
prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to replace the main battery pack. It retains RAM data
during the battery pack exchange. A fully charged backup battery provides 30 minutes of backup time.
Note: When removing a battery from the terminal, put the device in Suspend Mode (see page 1-12) before removing
the battery door. Once the battery door is removed, wait at least 3 seconds before removing the main battery.
This process allows the device to shut down properly and maintains memory during the battery swap.
If at any time the backup battery becomes fully discharged of power (e.g., the terminal is left without the
main battery pack for more than 30 minutes), the terminal resets when power is supplied. All files are
retained, but you may need to restart any running applications. In addition, a fully discharged backup
battery requires a minimum of 24 hours of charging time to reach a full charge.
Note: Data and programs stored in Flash memory are not lost even if the internal backup battery fails.
Charging
The internal backup battery and the RTC battery are powered by the main battery pack. Therefore,
charging the internal batteries requires a charged main battery pack be installed in the terminal and the
terminal be connected to a charging device.
The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. Honeywell
recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal
backup battery is fully charged. After that, if the internal backup battery becomes fully discharged of
power, it requires a minimum of 24 hours of charging time to function normally.
Guidelines for Use
Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the internal backup battery:
• Keep a charged Li-ion or Li-poly battery pack in the terminal; the backup battery prematurely
discharges if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal.
• Keep the terminal connected to power when the terminal is not in use.
Managing Battery Power
Letting the backup battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Honeywell recommends, you keep a charged battery pack in the terminal at all times to help prevent data loss.
The internal battery discharges prematurely if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the terminal immediately.
Default Critical and Low Battery Points
When the terminal is running on battery power (as opposed to external power), warnings are displayed
when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The warning points are determined by the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power]
There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: MedState and LowState.
The default values for these entries are as follows:
2 - 15
MedState=25%
This sets the Low Battery point to 25%. When the battery hits the percentage charge specified
here, the user is notified.
LowState=10%
This sets the Critical Battery point to 10%. When the battery hits the percentage charge
specified here, the user is notified.
Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.
Setting Critical and Low Battery Points
Developers can reset the battery parameters in the registry from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly
always warn). You can review and set these battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool.
1. Tap > Power Tools > RegEdit.
2. Drill down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > ControlPanel > Power.
3. Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data.
You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly always warn).
4. Tap OK to save changes.
For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User’s Guide available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
Checking Battery Power
1. Tap > Settings > System
2. Tap Power to view the power status of the main battery and the backup battery or tap Battery to
view detailed information on the installed battery pack.
Note: The Backup Battery gauge registers either 0% or 100%. The percentage is not an indication of the level
of charge remaining on the backup battery. An installed and functional battery registers 100%. A total
discharge or a battery error registers 0%.
For additional information on Advanced Power Settings, see page 6-16.
For additional information on the Battery Log Configuration, see page 6-10.
Hardware Maintenance
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. For additional information on hardware maintenance specific to the Dolphin Healthcare Housings, see page 2-12.

Decoding
99EX Models
99GX Models
The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging
applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD).
Full-Area Imaging
Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR,
signature capture, and picture taking. When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive
read can be obtained from many positions; see Aiming Options on page 3-5. To achieve the best read,
the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.
ALD
ALD provides fast reading of linear and stacked linear bar codes. To achieve a positive read when reading linear 1D and PDF417 bar codes, the green aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the
bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes.
To Decode a Bar Code
The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding. A range
of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
1. Tap > Demos > Scan Demo .
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the bar code.
3. Project the aiming beam or pattern by pressing and holding one of the following:
• the trigger (99GX models only),
• the SCAN key (all models) or
• one of the terminal’s side buttons (all models).
•
4. The scan LED lights red.
5. Center the aiming beam over the bar code; see Aiming Options on page 3-5.
6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
7. The bar code information is entered into the application in use.
3 - 4
Aiming Options
The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther
from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit
whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

Capturing Images
99EX Models
99GX Models
The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the
basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to
adapt it to different application environments.
Image Preview
When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object. This is a live
video image of what the imager is currently viewing. The live video image has a slightly degraded
appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.
Scan Key
On all 99EX terminals, the SCAN key captures images.
File Formats
File formats supported for image storage include Bitmap (BMP), JPEG (JPG) and Portable Network
Graphics (PNG). The default file format for images is a grayscale JPG.
Compression
Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and may have up to a 256 grayscale
image definition.
The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the
larger the file size.
Taking an Image
The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images:
1. Tap > Demos > Imaging Demo .
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object.
3. To preview the image, press and hold one of the following:
• the trigger (99GX models only),
• the SCAN key (all models) or
• one of the terminal’s side buttons (all models).
3 - 6
4. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red.
!
5. Adjust the terminal’s position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in
the image.
6. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key, trigger or side button. The scan and decode LEDs
flash red, the screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.
7. Unless otherwise specified by the application in use, the image is saved to the \My Device\My
Documents folder.
Enabling the Aimer
You can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Imaging Demo. For details about the aimer, see
Aiming Options on page 3-5.
1. Tap > Demos > Imaging Demo > Setup menu > Aimer.
2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.
Uploading Images
Image files can be uploaded to a host workstation via Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral or your wireless radio connection.
Note: You can download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com.
Note: Visit the Microsoft Windows 7 Web site for information on how to sync your music, pictures, contacts and
calendars using Device Stage.
Note: Visit the Microsoft Windows Vista Web site for information on how to sync your music, pictures, contacts and
calendars using Windows Mobile Device Center.

Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation
To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) or
Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type
on the host workstation (Windows-based PC) 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) or Windows Mobile Device Center is not installed on the host workstation,
you can download and install the most current version of the software from the Microsoft Web site
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=147001).
Note: ActiveSync on your Dolphin terminal works with Windows Mobile Device Center on host workstations running
Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on host workstations running Windows XP. For detailed
information on ActiveSync and WMDC visit the Microsoft Windows Phone Web site.
When communicating via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, your terminal is designed to be
connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as
the charge/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
Capabilities
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and workstation.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can
synchronize continually while connected to your workstation or only when you choose the synchronize
command.
