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. Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin terminals. We recommend implementing a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen protectors are replaced periodically when signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we recommend replacing the screen protector every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary according to the average level of touch panel use in your application.Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Contact a Honeywell sales representative for details.Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than 0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.!
3 - 4Honeywell’s warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first 12 months provided that a screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12-month duration covered by the warranty.Removing the Screen ProtectorDolphin 6500s ship with a touch screen protector already installed.

Storage GuidelinesTo maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 122° F (-20 to 50°C) or 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 DisposalThe following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:• We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may pose a personal hazard to the user.• DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet mobile computers or batteries. All components must be dry before connecting to an external power source.• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery 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 use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals. • 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 terminal indicates low battery power.• If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged in some way, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to the Product Service and Repair (page 10-1) section of this guide.• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International or an authorized service center for inspection.Internal Backup BatteryLocated inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.7V Lithium Polymer battery.
3 - 15The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. This battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according to specifications. Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory (\\Honeywell\AutoInstall) or on an optional SD card are not lost. However, the terminal automatically cold boots when you install a fully charged battery pack and you will need to reset the real-time clock.ChargingThe internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires 2 hours charge time to backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main battery for six hours; however, the internal backup battery will continue to charge off the main battery. To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply for the first eight hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a charging peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both.Charging Guidelines Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphin 6500’s internal backup battery:• Keep a charged Li-Ion battery pack in the Dolphin terminal. • Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use.

There are two Demos that feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan Demo.To access these demos, tap Start > Programs > Demos.•Select Scan Demo to verify decoding, or•Select Image Demo to verify imaging.For more information about Demos, refer to the Dolphin Demos User’s Guide, which is available for download from www.honeywellaidc.com.DecodingThe Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD).Full-area ImagingFull-area imaging means that the Dolphin terminal supports omni-directional aiming, meaning that a positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see Omni-Directional Scanning Positions on page 5-4. ALDALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (PDF417). For the best read, the aiming pattern 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 Code1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Scan Demo.2. Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page 5-4.A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended. 3. Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the Scan key. The Scan LED lights red.4. Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding; Omni-Directional Scanning Positions, page 5-45. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
5 - 4Sample Bar CodesYou can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:Omni-Directional Scanning Positions The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning performance. Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the terminal is held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.Sample 128 Sample PDF417Code 128 PDF417 Test Message
5 - 5Capturing ImagesThe image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt to different application environments.Image PreviewWhen 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 and has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal; the captured image has a higher resolution.File FormatsThe Dolphin terminal is capable of saving images in a number of industry-standard file formats (BMP, JPG and PNG). The default file format for images is a grayscale BMP. File SizeDigital 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 the image. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on image content; the more complex the content, the larger the file size. Taking an Image1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Image Demo.2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object.3. Press the Scan key to activate the engine. The touch screen displays a preview of the object.4. Adjust the terminal’s position until the preview on the screen is as you want it to appear in the image.5. Hold the terminal still and release the Scan key. The touch screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen. 6. By default, the image is saved to the My Documents folder in My Device. To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As.High-Vis Aiming PatternIf your Dolphin terminal is configured with the 5300SR imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Image Demo application.1.

8 - 18Dolphin HomeBase/eBase DeviceOverviewNote: The information in this chapter applies to both the Dolphin HomeBase and Dolphin eBase devices unless otherwise indicated.As the hub of your Dolphin 6500 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports full-speed USB 1.1 and RS-232 communication with a workstation. The Dolphin eBase is identical to the Dolphin HomeBase except it supports Ethernet communication as well as USB 1.1, and RS-232.CommunicationThe base can communicate via USB or serial RS-232 (or Ethernet for the eBase). Data transmission for USB is up to 12 Mbps. Data transmission for serial RS-232 is up to 115 Kbps. These bases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–but can be networked together via serial or USB hubs.Battery ChargingThe base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in six hours. In addition to charging, the base powers the terminal’s intelligent battery charging system, which protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge, which maintains the battery at full capacity. As a result, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals. The base can also charge a second battery while the terminal is positioned in the base. See Charging a Spare Battery on page 8-6.Power SupplyThe power cable that ships with each terminal also powers the base.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.We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty. DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet mobile computers or batteries. All components must be dry before connecting to an external power source.!!

USB communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information about ActiveSync setup, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-2. Serial PortThe serial port supports serial communication between the terminal and another device. Note that the connector is a DB9 Male connector, requiring a female connector on the serial cable. The following four signals are supported:• Transmitted Data• Received Data• Request to Send• Clear to SendNote: ActiveSync is not supported over the serial port.Ethernet Port (eBase only)Using an Ethernet cable, you can connect the eBase to an Ethernet-compliant device to facilitate Ethernet communication to and from the terminal. This equipment is for indoor use only. The communication wiring is limited to the inside of a building.USB PortSerial PortHomeBase eBaseDC Power JackUSB PortSerial PortDC Power JackEthernet Port
8 - 4Powering the Dolphin HomeBase DeviceThe terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from Honeywell convert the voltage appropriately.The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the base. This cable contains a plug adapter for each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.). 1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.2. Plug the power cable into the power source.3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is now powered. When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-2).Honeywell recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.eBase Clamp-on Ferrite Core InstallationWe recommend that you install the clamp-on ferrite core included with your Dolphin® eBase on your Ethernet cable. Installation of the ferrite is required to meet the declared FCC emission levels. The following illustration shows how to install the ferrite on the cable. It should be placed approximately 1.57 inches (40mm) from the RJ45 plug. The cable should be looped around the core, as shown.Power AdapterPlug AdapterPower Cable
8 - 5Charging the Main BatteryThe base powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in 6 hours. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.Inserting a Terminal1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Main Battery on page 2-1.2. Power the base; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device on page 8-4.3. Slide the terminal into the terminal well making certain that the terminal is seated properly.4. The battery pack begins charging. Make sure the terminal is dry before placing it in the base. Do NOT place a wet terminal in the base! Doing so may cause damage not covered by the warranty.!

9 - 2Battery ChargingCharging ProcessThis charger charges Dolphin 6500 Li-Ion 3300mAh packs in six hours. Each charging slot works independently of the other three. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage. TemperatureThe six-hour charge time applies when batteries are charged within the recommended temperature range of 50° to 95° F (10° to 35°C). Temperature has a significant effect on charging. For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before inserting in the charger. When the battery temperature exceeds 40°C, the charger may exceed the stated six-hour charge time. The charger stops charging if the battery temperature is greater than 40°C, but will begin charging again when the battery temperature is less than 40°C.Charging Batteries1. Supply the charger with power.2. Insert batteries into the appropriate slots. The Status LED for each slot turns red to indicate that the battery is properly seated and has begun a charge cycle.3. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging.!
9 - 3Recommendations for Storing BatteriesTo maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines:• Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature range of -4 to 122° F (-20 to 50°C) or in extremely high humidity.• For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
