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.

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 terminal is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the RF from the Dolphin terminal 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.

Host Device

Power Adapter Cable

Power Cord

USB Connector

COMM Cable

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, and 8 hours for the internal backup battery. Connect the terminal to one of the 9700 series charging peripherals to charge; see WLAN, WPAN, WWAN with GPS & Camera on page 3-

We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any nonHoneywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Charging Using the Communication Cable

1. Connect the USB or RS232 cable to the I/O

connector on the terminal.

2. Tighten the thumb screws on the cable cup to

secure the cable to the terminal.

3. Plug the power cord into the power adapter.

4. Plug the power adapter cable into the power

connector on COMM cable.

5. Plug the COMM cable into the appropriate port

on the host device.

6. Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet.

7. The LED on the front of the terminal flashes

and illuminates as the terminal starts to initialize the boot process.

Step 3. Boot the Terminal

The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied. Do NOT press any keys or interrupt the boot process. When the boot process is complete, the Today screen appears, and the terminal is ready for use.

Note: The Today screen appears several times during the boot process. To ensure the boot process is

complete, wait several seconds before using the device.
