Getting Started

Out of the Box

Verify that the carton contains the following items:

•Dolphin mobile computer (the terminal)

•Main battery pack

•Product documentation

If you ordered accessories for your terminals, verify that they are also included with the order. Be sure to keep the original packaging in the event that the Dolphin terminal should need to be returned for service. For details, see Customer Support on page xi.

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.

1 - 2

Using the Charging/Communication Cables

Use only UL Listed power supply, which has been qualified by Honeywell with output rated at 5VDC and 3 amps with the device.

!Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components 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\Autoinstall 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 kernel 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\Honeywell\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. For contact information, see Customer Support or go to www.honeywellaidc.com.

Resetting the Terminal

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.

ALT	ENT
1. Press and hold the CTRL 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.

ALT	ESC
1. Press and hold the CTRL 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):

ALT	ESC
1. Press and hold the CTRL 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.

1 - 11

3. Select Perform Factory Reset from the menu, and then press ENT	ENT
	.

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	SCAN	.

Note: You should always put the terminal in suspend mode before removing the battery door. For information on removing the battery, see Replacing the Main Battery Pack on page 1-4.
