Touch Screen Display
The display is a 3.5” transflective active matrix, 65k color LCD display with a backlight, QVGA
(240 x 320 resolution); see Display Backlight on page 3-3. The touch panel is a 4-wire analog
resistive touch.
Dolphin 6510s ship with a screen protector already installed over the touch screen lens
to help prevent damage to the touch screen. Do NOT remove this screen protector before
initial use. Honeywell recommends using screen protectors, especially for applications
that require high volume interfacing with the touch screen. For more information, see
Using Screen Protectors on page 3-3. You can purchase additional screen protectors by
contacting your Honeywell sales representative.
2 - 7
For touch screen input, use the stylus included with the terminal or your finger. The method
you choose depends on which one is most appropriate for your application. While there is a
great deal of variation in different applications, you generally achieve greater accuracy with the
stylus for buttons or icons that are close together.
Use of objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens on the touch screen can damage
the input panel and may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Display Backlight
The intensity of the backlight of the touch screen display may be changed, and the backlight may be
programmed to turn off after the terminal has been idle for a specified period of time.
To adjust the intensity of the backlight while on battery power, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel >
double tap Backlight.
Screen Backlight - Battery/External Power
Move the slider to adjust the screen backlight while on battery power.
You may turn the screen backlight off if the device is not used for a
designated period of time by checking the option and designating the
desired time period.
You may also turn on the screen backlight when a button is pressed or the
screen is tapped by selecting the appropriate checkbox.
Note: Using the backlight option while on battery power substantially reduces
battery
life.
You may make the same changes when on external power by tapping the
External tab.
Keyboard Backlight
To turn on the keypad backlight, check the checkbox.
The duration of backlight of keypad synchronizes with LCD backlight’s.
Using Screen Protectors
Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display 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.
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.
2 - 8
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.
Honeywell’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 Protector
Dolphin 6510s ship with a touch screen protector already installed. To replace the screen protector, you

3 - 13
Managing Main Battery Power
Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a
continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert
another charged battery pack in the Dolphin. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a
charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery.
Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in Suspend Mode, pressing the Power button does not wake
the Dolphin 6510 terminal; you must first replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery or apply
A/C power to the terminal.
Checking Battery Power
Power icons appear in the command bar at the bottom of the window. Double tap on the battery icon to
open the Power Properties. The Battery tab opens displaying the charge status of both the main and
backup batteries.
Note: You can also check battery power by tapping Start > Settings > Control Panel > double tap Power.
Storage Guidelines
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 140° F (-20 to 40°C) or in extremely high
humidity.
• For prolonged storage, it is recommended that the battery be at a 40% - 50% charge level, be removed
from the device, and stored in a controlled temperature environment. Following these
recommendations will maximize battery life.
Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The 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.
3 - 14
• 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 13-1) 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 Battery
Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.7V Lithium Polymer battery.
The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery
pack. This backup battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for at
least 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.
Charging
The 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 an
average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery; however, the internal backup battery will continue to
charge off the main battery. It takes less time to charge the main battery if the battery has some charge.
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 6510’s internal backup battery under normal
usage conditions:
• 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.
Resetting the Terminal
Soft Reset: Using the stylus, press the Reset button. The screen turns white and the decode/scan LED flashes
blue for approximately 10 seconds.
Hard Reset: 28-key: Press and hold the Power button and then using the stylus, press the Reset button.
52-
key: Press and hold the Blue and Z (Power) buttons and then using the stylus, press the
Reset button.
The screen turns white and the decode/scan LED flashes blue for approximately 18 seconds.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data, terminates all running applications, reloads
the OS, and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in the \\Honeywell\AutoInstall
folder.
3 - 15
You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software
applications that require a reboot, 3) after making changes to certain system settings, or 4) to install new
CAB or REG files.
The desktop appears when the Soft Reset is complete.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory, reloads the OS, resets the Real
Time Clock (RTC), and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in the
\\Honeywell\AutoInstall folder.
Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process if there are CAB files present.
You would perform a Hard Reset (instead of a Soft Reset) when you want to ensure the RAM memory is
also cleared. RAM memory stores settings for Internet Explorer, Outlook, and other Microsoft
applications.
Note: Set the time and date after each hard reset to ensure that the system clock is accurate. Double-click the date
on the command bar to open the Clock setting and set the time and date.
Suspend Mode
Suspend Mode suspends terminal operation. The terminal appears to be “off” when in Suspend Mode.
The terminal is programmed to go into Suspend Mode automatically when inactive for a specified period
of time. You can set this time period in the Power setting.
To suspend operation, press the red Power button to put the terminal in Suspend Mode on the 28-key
Dolphin 6510 or press the Blue then Z (Power) keys on the 52-key Dolphin 6510. To wake the device,

Activating the Engine
When a scanning application is open, press the Scan key to activate the image engine.
Using Demos
Dolphin Demos are software utilities loaded on all Dolphin terminals that demonstrate the advanced
features of the terminal. 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 (not available on device using the N4313 laser engine).
For more information about Demos, refer to the Dolphin Demos User’s Guide, which is available for
download from www.honeywellaidc.com.
Decoding
The Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear
Decoding (ALD).
Full-area Imaging
Full-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.
ALD
ALD 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 Code
1. 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 5-4
5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
5 - 3
Sample Bar Codes
You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
Sample 128 Sample PDF417
Code 128 PDF417 Test Message
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.
5 - 4
Capturing Images
The 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 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 and has a slightly degraded
appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal; the captured image has a higher
resolution.
File Formats
The 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 Size
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 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 Image
1. 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 Pattern
If your Dolphin terminal is configured with the N5603SR imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for
imaging in the Image Demo application.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Imaging Demo > Setup menu > Aimer.
2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.

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.
Note: You can download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com.
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with
a Honeywell communication peripheral. 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.
Communication Type
The Dolphin 6510 supports the following type of communication via ActiveSync through its DC Power
Jack (see page 3-11) on the bottom panel:
USB
The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the Dolphin terminal to communicate with
a workstation through a USB port or to a network through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal
supports full-speed USB communication (USB 1.1); maximum data transfer rate is 12
Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box.
Hardware Requirements for Setup
• Dolphin communication peripheral
• Dolphin power cable
• USB Cable (for USB communication)
• ActiveSync v4.1 or higher installed on the host workstation
• Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher) or
Windows XP computer.
Software Requirements for Communication
To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for the same communication type on both the host
workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation before you initiate

Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device
Overview
Note: 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.
Communication
The 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 Charging
The base completes a full charge of a fully depleted main battery pack in an average of 5 1/2 hours. It
takes less time if the battery has some charge.
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 turns off the charger. If the battery voltage drops below the charge threshold,
the charger turns on again to maintain 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. For
prolonged storage, see Storage Guidelines on page 3-14. The base can also charge a second battery
while the terminal is positioned in the base. See Charging a Spare Battery on page 10-6.
Power Supply
The 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.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet
components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

USB Port
The USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the base to a USB-
compliant device to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB
communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information
about ActiveSync setup, see Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation on
page 8-9.
Serial Port
The 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 Send
Note: 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.
9 -1
Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device
The 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.).
Plug Adapter
Power Adapter
Power Cable
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 Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation on
page 8-9).
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 Installation
We 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.
9 -1
!
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.
Charging the Main Battery
The base powers the terminal and fully charges its main
battery pack in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted
battery. It takes less time if the battery has some charge.
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 Terminal
1. 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 10-4.
3. Slide the terminal into the terminal well making certain
that the terminal is seated properly.
4. The battery pack begins charging.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/
batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

voltages between 90–265 volts.
Battery Charging
Charging Process
This charger charges Dolphin 6500 Li-Ion 3300mAh packs in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted
battery. It takes less time if the battery has some charge. 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.
Temperature
The six-hour charge time applies when batteries are charged within the recommended temperature range
of 50° to 95° F (10to 35C). 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 40C, the charger may exceed the stated six-hour charge
time. The charger stops charging if the battery temperature is greater than 40C, but will begin
charging again when the battery temperature is less than 40C.
Charging Batteries
1. 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.
9 -1
3. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging.
Recommendations for Storing Batteries
To maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines:
• Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature range of -4 to 104°F (-20 to 40°C) or in
extremely high humidity.
• For prolonged storage, it is recommended that the battery be at a 40% - 50% charge level, be removed
from the device, and stored in a controlled temperature environment. Following these
recommendations will maximize battery life.

up and operate the Net Base. If any items are missing or anything appears to be damaged, contact your
Customer Account Representative.
Keep the original packaging in case you need to return the Net Base for service or to store the Net Base
while not in use.
Charge Time
The base supplies power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals, which senses
when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
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.
The main battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the
extended 3.7V battery.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
Capacity
The base can hold up to 4 Dolphin terminals. Each charging well charges each terminal independently of
the other wells.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.

Power
The terminal requires 12 Volts DC input for communications and battery charging; the power adapter on
the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 12 volts DC. Only the Honeywell 12V/
8.5A power supply provided with the Net Base converts the voltage appropriately. The operating temper-
ature range is -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F).
Honeywell recommends that you leave the Net Base connected to its power source at all times, so that it
is always ready to use.
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.

Charging the Main Battery
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminals and allows the
charging of the main batteries in the terminals. The main battery of
each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or
5 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. The intelligent battery charging
system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging,
which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefi-
nitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base.
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
1. Install the main battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Main
Battery on page 2-1.
2. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see Connecting Power to
the Net Base on page 12-4.
3. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the four terminal wells. The the Power/Dock LED for the well
changes to green. Charging begins immediately if required by the Dolphin terminal.
Make sure the terminal is dry before placing it in the Net Base. Do NOT place a wet terminal in the Net Base!
Doing so 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 dam-
age not covered by the warranty.
Communication
Software Requirements
Before you connect the Dolphin terminal to the Net Base, make sure you have the most current software
installed. To check the terminal’s system information, tap > Power Tools > SysInfo.
• The Kernel version must be 28.04 or later in terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
Classic.
• In terminals running Windows CE 5.0, the kernel version must be 23.08 Service Pack 8 or later.
Applications on the Dolphin Terminal
Applications running on the Dolphin terminal when it is connected to the Net Base should be designed
specifically for a partially connected network. For more details, please refer to the Best Practices for Par-
tially Connected Networks document available at www.honeywellaidc.com.
Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Base
By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically using a DHCP server.
This means that in most cases, you would simply plug-and-play the unit.
1. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see Connecting Power to
the Net Base on page 12-4.
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into one of the RJ45 connectors on the back of the Net Base.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
4. Insert the Dolphin into one of the terminal wells. The DOCK LED for the well changes from red to
green and the connection icon on the Dolphin’s title bar changes from
x
to .
5. By default, the DHCP server assigns a unique IP address to each of the Dolphin terminals docked in
the Net Base. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
Note: Instead of using the default for DHCP assigned IP addresses, the Dolphin terminal can use a statically
assigned IP address. See standard Microsoft Windows Mobile documentation for how to assign a static IP
address to a network adapter. In this case, set a static IP address for the adapter named "SMC95001 USB2.0
FAST Ethernet Drive".
Displaying the Net Base Terminal Well and Dolphin IP Address
Once the Dolphin terminal establishes communication, it uses the unique IP address assigned to the ter-
minal well it is docked in on the Net Base. If four Dolphin terminals are successfully connected, then four
different IP addresses are assigned to the adapter associated with the Dolphin terminal.
1. Tap > Power Tools > Network Utilities > IPConfig.
2. Change the Adapter to SMC95001.
3. On the Input tab, tap the Display full configuration button.
4. The Dolphin terminal retrieves and displays the IP configuration for the entire Dolphin terminal and
the Net Base terminal well where the Dolphin is docked.
5. Locate the IpAddress field in the IP configuration list.
Mounting the Net Base
Set the Net Base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. Be
sure to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view and operate the Dolphin termi-
nal while it is in the Net Base. When choosing a location, bear in mind that the mounting location must
allow users easy access to the terminal wells, the Ethernet ports, and the power jack.
