Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Dolphin® 7400/7450
hand held computer. You have made a wise choice in selecting the
Dolphin, a device known worldwide for its ergonomic shape, light
weight and single-handed data collection features.
The patented shape of the Dolphin 7400 allows true, one-handed
operation and fits either hand comfortably, while the Dolphin 7450’s
integrated pistol-grip handle provides comfortable ergonomics and
intuitive point-and-shoot scanning for extended periods of use.
Built to last, the Dolphin’s ruggedly built case houses a 206MHz RISC
processor and Microsoft® Windows® CE™ operating system that is
easily programmable with standard programming tools, Microsoft®
Windows® CE™ eMbedded Visual Tools (includes eMbedded Visual
C/C++® and eMbedded Visual Basic®) or Java™. Dolphin 7400
supports Insignia Solutions® Jeode™ Java Virtual Machine to run
Java-based applications on the terminal. The terminal provides
ample, secure storage for data and applications with its 32 MB RAM
and 32 MB FLASH memory configuration. Up to 256MB additional
memory for data storage is available with an optional compact flash
card.
The Dolphin 7400/7450 terminals are some of the most durable
devices available, designed to withstand repeated five-foot drops
onto a concrete floor. The terminal also resists extreme
temperatures, humidity levels and dust conditions.
The Dolphin’s collection of features also includes: long-lasting Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries; a large easy-to-read 240 x 320 1/4
VGA backlit display that can display text or graphics; a natural scan
and viewing angle; a low-power, high-resolution digital image engine
for omni-directional and auto-discrimination decoding of linear bar
codes; Stacked Linear and matrix codes and provides OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) functionality and an optional Advanced Long
Range laser scanner. The Dolphin 7400/7450 may also be equipped
with an 802.11b direct sequence radio for real-time data collection
applications.
Load up the Dolphin with your custom software application and the
ultimate data collection solution for your business fits in the palm of
your hand.
The Dolphin 7400/7450 hand held Computer/HomeBase™ User
Guide is designed to provide you with the information you need to
make the most of your new Dolphin terminal. Sections on the basics,
safety, battery use, accessories, and service make this guide a

HHP shall not be liable for use of our product with equipment (i.e., power supplies,
personal computers, etc.) that is not CE marked and does not comply with the Low
Voltage Directive.
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 will have 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 oven 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.
Batteries
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• Use only the battery supplied with your Dolphin or a replacement battery
supplied, recommended or approved by HHP.
• Replace a defective battery terminal immediately as it could damage the Dolphin
terminal.
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be
recycled according to local guidelines.
• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause
severe personal injury.
• Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your Dolphin
indicates low battery power.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the recommended usage period (about 600 charge
cycles for the 2700 mAh NiMH battery) or if the battery is unable to hold an
adequate charge.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, please send it to
Hand Held Products, or an authorized HHP service center, for inspection.
The Dolphin hand held computer meets or exceeds all applicable standards and has been
manufactured to the highest level of quality.
Care and Cleaning of the Dolphin
When needed, clean the image engine/laser scanner window and the LCD display with a
clean, non-abrasive, lint free cloth.
