The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin 7400 terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.There are two batteries in the Dolphin:Internal NiMH Backup Battery Located inside the Dolphin, this battery backs up the RAM and clock when the NiMH main battery is discharged or removed from the terminal. The internal backup battery is not user replaceable.NiMH Battery Pack The battery pack is the primary power source for operating the Dolphin terminal.Internal NiHM Backup BatteryThe Dolphin’s internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to remove and replace the main battery pack. The battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes when the battery pack is removed. For the initial charging cycle, it is recommended that the terminal be charged for approximately 8 hours to allow adequate charging time for the back-up battery. Not doing so may result in the terminal becoming unstable should the unit lose power and the backup battery is required.If the backup battery becomes discharged of power after the initial charge cycle, it will require a minimum of 5 hours of charging time to perform and maintain the system as described above.The internal backup battery is charged by the Dolphin’s main battery pack when an external power source such as the Dolphin IntelliBase, is not available. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery will need to be recharged. Note: Data and programs stored in FLASH remain safe even if the internal backup battery fails. However, you must reset the real-time clock using the Pocket PC Time and Date function.Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphin’s backup battery:• Keep a charged NiMH battery pack in the Dolphin. The internal battery will prematurely discharge if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal.• Put the Dolphin in the IntelliBase when the terminal is not in use. Main Battery PackThe 3.6V, 2700 mAh Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin. Other NiMH batteries may be approved by HHP to work with your Dolphin. Contact HHP for more information. The 2700 mAh NiMH battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). For maximum performance, charge the batteries between 10 and 35°C (50 and 95°F).Managing Battery PowerData and files saved on the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal may be stored in RAM, so it is important to maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal. When the main battery pack becomes low, the Low Battery Charge icon will appear in the notification tray at the top of the screen. The Critical icon will appear when the battery is critically low. There is also a Low Battery icon that will appear when the back-up battery is low.Letting the back-up battery become fully discharged will cause the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Therefore, you should keep a charged battery pack in the Dolphin at all times to conserve the internal back-up battery. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged pack in the Dolphin. The internal battery will prematurely discharge if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. A battery status indicator will display in the notification tray when the battery is low or critically low. If there is no indicator, the battery is adequately charged.If the main battery is low and the terminal is in sleep mode, pressing the ON/SCAN button or the scan trigger will not wake up the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.
3 - 10Setting Critical and Low Battery PointsThe Dolphin 7400/7450 may be programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. There are two entries defined in the registry. The specific settings are:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]"CriticalBatt"=dword:a"LowBatt"=dword:19"CriticalBatt"=dword:F This sets the Critical Battery point to 15 percent (a hex = 15 decimal). The critical battery is the point at which the customer is warned that the battery charge is very low. This warning will be posted every 3 minutes until the situation is corrected."LowBatt"=dword:19This sets the Low battery point to 25 percent (19 hex = 25 decimal). The low battery setting is the point at which the user is alerted that the battery is low. The user is notified only once for a low battery.These are the default values. Developers can set these parameters from 0 (no warning at all) to 99 (would nearly always warn). The warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.Checking Battery PowerThe Battery Status screen displays information about current battery status and allows you to set options that can conserve battery power.To open the Battery Status screen:1. Select Start>Settings>System>Power. 2. Select your preferences.3. Tap OK to save the changes and exit. Servicing the Battery PackFor maximum battery life, you must service, or deep cycle, the battery twice before initial use. It is also recommended that you service the battery once per month. To deep cycle, insert the battery into the auxiliary well of the Dolphin Intellibase+ charging/communication cradle, Dolphin QuadCharger or use the Battery Conditioning Utility. See Chapter 12 for more information on using the IntelliBase+ and Chapter 13 for information on using the QuadCharger. Using the Battery Conditioning UtilityThe Battery Conditioning Utility is used to condition or deep cycle a battery in the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal. The discharge/charge cycle minimizes battery memory effects and ensures the battery data is correct. A complete discharge/charge cycle may take up to 15 hours for a fully charged battery. The actual cycle time will vary depending on the battery state when the cycle was initiated. Follow these instructions to use the Battery Conditioning Utility to deep cycle the battery before initial use:1. Put the battery pack in the Dolphin terminal.2. Connect the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal to external power or place the terminal in the IntelliBase. After starting the Battery Conditioning Utility, the Dolphin will beep and then indicate an error if the terminal is not on AC power.3. Select Start>Programs>HHPUtils>Battery Conditioning to start the Battery Conditioning Utility.4. Touch the ‘Start’ button on the screen (or the ‘S’ key) to start the battery conditioning process. The terminal will beep and the process will begin in approximately 60 seconds.To cancel battery conditioning, touch the ‘Abort’ button (or the “A” key). The terminal will beep and the process will be aborted.
3 - 11Charging the Battery PackYou can charge the Dolphin’s main battery pack with one of the following methods:• Place the battery pack in the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal and then place the terminal in the terminal well of a charging/communication cradle.• Place the battery pack in the Dolphin Quad Battery Charger.• Place the battery back in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the IntelliBase+. Storing BatteriesTo maintain top performance from batteries, follow the guidelines below when storing them:Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 104° F (-20 to 40°C) or in extremely high humidity.For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source. During long-term storage, battery deactivation may tend to occur, which may cause charging to stop early during recharging after storage. This issue can be handled by charging and discharging the battery several times. Also, the first charging after prolonged storage may yield a lower than normal capacity. While this will vary depending on the storage conditions, charging and discharging the battery several times will almost completely restore capacity.

4 - 6If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.Tips for Getting Good Recognition• Write neatly.• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again. Drawing on the ScreenDrawing on the screen is similar to writing on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. To create a drawing, cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.Or, tap the word you wantto use.Tap to return to youroriginal writing.Alternate List

The Dolphin 7400/7450 has three keyboard options: 43-key alpha/numeric, 35-key numeric/alpha, and 56-key full alpha/numeric.To enter data, press the appropriate key and the corresponding number or letter appears on the screen. See Appendix A for a list of keyboard shortcuts for navigating the keyboard.Using the Image ReaderDolphin 7400/7450 terminals are equipped an image reader that reads 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR characters and can capture images, such as signatures and gray scale pictures. The imager features either a red or green aiming beam that is used to aim the image reader against the bar code or item being read.The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications: ALD (Advanced Linear Decoding) for fast reading of linear 1D and 2D bar codes, and full area imaging for omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking.Tap to select aprewritten message.Using My Text
4 - 9The decoding method used in a particular scanning or image capture application is determined by the application developer and cannot be changed by the end user. The imaging capabilities of both decode methods help simplify terminal operation and enhance data capture productivity.When reading linear 1D and 2D bar codes using ALD, the imager’s aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code to achieve a positive read. When reading all bar code types using full area imaging, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code to achieve the best read, though a positive read can be obtained from most any position. Reading A Bar code1. Press the ON/SCAN button on the 7400 or the Scan Trigger on the 7450 to project the scanner’s bright red or green aiming beam. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve the quickest read. A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) is recommended. 2. Center the aiming beam over the bar code. The red SCAN LED illuminates when the user presses the ON/KEY key, and the green DECODE LED illuminates when a bar code is successfully decoded and the terminal beeps. Scan LEDDecode LED
4 - 10The aiming beam is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.Capturing ImagesThe image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt it to different circumstances. Basic steps for acquiring images using the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal include:1. To aim, point the display end of the 7400 horizontally at a 45° angle approximately 2 to 9 inches (5 to 20 cm) away from the target. You may have to adjust the angle at which you hold the Dolphin if there is glare on the screen. 2. Press the ON/SCAN button to take an image. Use the live video image on the terminal screen as a guide for positioning and aiming the terminal at the target. You may find it helpful to start by moving the terminal further away and then in closer to the target. The active screen image will have a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.3. Release the ON/SCAN button to capture the image when the desired image is displayed on the terminal screen. Hold the Dolphin terminal as still as possible when capturing the image. Basic steps for acquiring images using the Dolphin 7450 terminal are:1. Point the display end of the 7450 directly at the target.2. Pull the Scan Trigger to take the image. Use the live video image on the terminal screen as a guide for positioning and aiming the terminal at the target. You may find it helpful to start by moving the terminal further away and then in closer to the target. The active screen image will have a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol
4 - 113. Release the Scan Trigger to capture the image when the desired image is displayed on the terminal screenn. Hold the Dolphin terminal as still as possible when capturing the image.The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by your software application. For highest quality, take grayscale images. When saved, the image will be saved in JPEG file format. The size of the file depends on the information content of the image and will be approximately 4-8 K. CommunicationCommunication MediaVia the RS-232 PortThe industry-standard RS-232 port supplies 5 volts of power and allows the user to connect external devices such as scanners and printers, to the Dolphin 7400 and 7450 terminals. Via the IrDA PortThe IrDA port allows the Dolphin 7400/7450 to send data via pulses of light to and from other IrDA-compliant devices, such as printers and PCs. Via the RadioThe Dolphin 7400/7450 RF may be equipped with a 2.4 GHz 802.11b-compliant direct sequence or frequency hopping spread spectrum local area network (LAN) radio.Software Communication ProgramsMicrosoft® ActiveSync®In the Dolphin 7400/7450 development environment, Microsoft® ActiveSync® is a tool for developers.

For more information, see Chapter 7.Connecting Directly to an E-mail ServerIn addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server.When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device Inbox folder.Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your device.When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval and sends the messages you’ve composed.

7 - 16Managing E-mail Messages and FoldersBy default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the Message tab, select your options.If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail serverThe behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4. • If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer.• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder. • If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device. •If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
8 - 18CommunicationsUsing Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your Dolphin mobile computer with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer. • Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct formatNote:By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.With ActiveSync, you can also:• Back up and restore your device data. • Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer. • Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD.

12 - 112Dolphin Charging/Communication CradlesHub of the SystemAs the hub of your Dolphin system, Dolphin Charging/Communication cradles perform three important functions – power conditioning, communications and storage. Three versions of the charging/communications cradle are available:•IntelliBase for communicating with devices such as printers and modems without integrated IrDA protocol software•IntelliBase+ for communicating with devices without integrated IrDA protocol software and charging and conditioning a spare battery•USB HomeBase for communicating directly with a USB-compatible host computer Power ConditioningDolphin charging/communication cradles provide power to the intelligent battery charging system incorporated into Dolphin terminals.The IntelliBase+ has an auxiliary battery well, located on the back of the cradle, allowing users to charge and condition a spare battery.Ir/IrDA Optical CommunicationsThe infrared, or Ir communications port, on the IntelliBase and IntelliBase+ connects with the IrDA port on the Dolphin terminal. With no pins or contacts to break, Ir will work reliably for years. Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115k baud can be transmitted by the IntelliBase and IntelliBase+; data transmission rates with the USB HomeBase up to 4Mbps are possible but, at this time, are limited to 115 kbps as the Dolphin 7400 does not currently support 4 Mbps data transfer. The IntelliBase and IntelliBase+ infrared connection to the terminal uses IrDA-compliant hardware and software for a reliable connection. Communications between the IntelliBase and other devices occur at half duplex serial mode. Half duplex refers to the transmission of data in just one direction at a time. The USB HomeBase enables direct communication with USB-compatible host computers at rates of up 115 kbps. The USB HomeBase also is IrDA 1.3 compliant.These peripherals cannot be “daisy-chained” but can be networked together using a serial or USB hub.Convenient Storage Dolphin charging/communication peripherals provide a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.

12 - 91. Insert a battery pack into the Dolphin terminal.2. Place the terminal, imager/laser engine window up and the LCD visible, in the terminal well of the cradle. 3. Let it glide down into the well until it stops. 4. Once the Dolphin terminal is properly seated, the Dock LED on the front of the cradle will be solid GREEN.Charging Additional Battery Packs in the IntelliBase+The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the IntelliBase+ allows users to charge and condition a spare battery. Charging a Dolphin terminal and a spare battery pack can be done simultaneously as the charging slots work independently to control charging and conditioning of the individual batteries. The IntelliBase+ senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to trickle charge to maintain the battery at full capacity indefinitely.To charge a spare battery in the IntelliBase+, insert the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the auxiliary well opening and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. Once the battery is inserted, you can use the AUX BATTERY LED to monitor the charging progress. Deep-Cycling BatteriesFor maximum battery life, HHP recommends that you deep-cycle (service) the battery twice before initial use and then once a month thereafter.The IntelliBase+ is the only Dolphin charging/communication cradle with deep cycling capabilities. Since the Dolphin IntelliBase and USB HomeBase do not have deep-cycling capabilities, it is recommended that you use the Battery Conditioning Utility software when using those peripherals or use the Dolphin Quad Battery Charger. To deep-cycle a battery using the IntelliBase+, insert the battery into the auxiliary battery well. Then, press and release the Condition button. The deep-cycling process takes 8-12 hours depending on the battery’s capacity or state of charge.See the Battery Management section in Chapter 3 for more information.Setting Up For CommunicationsThe IntelliBase, and IntelliBase+ support RS-232 communications through the RS-232 Communications Port located on the back of the device. The IntelliBase translates the RS-232 signals from the host computer into infrared signals to communicate with the Dolphin Terminal.The IntelliBase RS-232 interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate to a personal computer, modem, or any standard RS-232 device using a standard serial cable and communications software.IntelliBase/IntelliBase+The IrDA 1.0 software stack is integrated into the IntelliBase and IntelliBase+ cradles to allow communication between the cradle and devices such as modems or printers that are not IrDA ready or do not communicate with a half duplex serial protocol. This allows any full or half duplex RS-232 device to communicate through the IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ with no IrDA protocol software. See Table 2 for the baud rate switch settings.Installing The Charging/Communication CradleTo install and use the IntelliBase or IntelliBase+, you need the following equipment:• IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ with power supply• Serial cableSet the Dolphin IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view and operate the Dolphin terminal while it is in the IntelliBase.Connecting the CablesConnect the IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ to the host computer or other device by plugging an RS-232 serial cable into the RS-232 Communications Port on the rear of the IntelliBase. The wiring of your cable depends on whether the other device is set up as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) or DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device. The IntelliBase Communication Port is configured as a DCE device. To communicate with a DTE device such as a computer, use a standard (or straight-through) RS-232 cable. To communicate with a DCE device, use either a null modem adapter in line with a standard RS-232 cable, or a null-modem serial cable. You can make your own cables by following the pin configuration in the chart below. To do so, you must determine if your host RS-232 device is 9-pin or 25-pin, and whether it is configured as a DCE or DTE device.
12 - 10The IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ cannot be daisy-chained. Connect the power supply to the charging/communication cradle. Plug the AC transformer into the Dolphin IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ 5 Volt DC power supply connector. The AC wall transformer provided can power only one IntelliBase/IntelliBase+. HHP recommends that you leave the Dolphin IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.Set the baud rate switch to the communication mode you are going to use. Refer toTable 3 for IntelliBase/IntelliBase+ switch settings.

Start your application on the Dolphin terminal or the host computer. Data can then begin transmitting between the terminal and the devices connected to the Dolphin cradle. When data transfer begins, the COMM LED on the cradle will blink red and green. If the IntelliBase/HomeBase will not communicate with the Dolphin, check the port connections to ensure that the cradle is correctly configured. ActiveSync Connection Settings
12 - 15Mounting the IntelliBase/USB HomeBaseThe IntelliBase and USB HomeBase may be desk or wall-mounted for convenience and storage. The IntelliBase+ may be desk-mounted as long as room is allowed for accessibility to the auxiliary battery well.Desk Mounting:Dolphin charging/communication cradles have a DIN rail (7.5 X 35 mm) slot on the bottom to allow for secure desk attachment of the unit if desired.Wall Mounting:The IntelliBase/USB HomeBase also has two DIN rail (7.5 X 35mm) slots on the back to allow for secure wall mounting of the unit if desired. The IntelliBase+ may not be wall-mounted.
12 - 16When using right-angle style RS-232 connector cable, the DIN rails may be mounted directly to the wall. When using standard RS-232 connector cables, it is recommended that the rails be mounted to the wall using a 25mm (1 in.) spacer to allow for appropriate strain relief of the cables. In either case, after wall mounting, it is recommended that the cables be secured to the DIN rail through use of a wire tie to prevent damage to the IntelliBase/USB HomeBase unit in case accidental or excessive force is applied to the cables.
13 - 113Dolphin® QuadChargerThe Dolphin® QuadCharger provides intelligent battery management for NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Dolphin 7400/7450 battery packs.This device fully charges as many as four NiMH batteries in 2.5 hours. Charging slots work independently to control charging and discharging of individual battery packs. The QuadCharger is compatible with all models in the Dolphin® 7400/7450 family of hand held computers.As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows a three-step process that senses changes in temperature and voltage and drops to a trickle charge when the packs are fully charged. This feature allows the user to leave batteries in the charger indefinitely, which maintains the batteries at peak capacity without damage. The charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately show battery status on the Dolphin display.The QuadCharger conditions and calibrates batteries for longer, more consistent performance. Dolphin QuadCharger Parts and FunctionTop Panel Charging PocketThe QuadCharger has four charging pockets for charging and/or conditioning batteries for Dolphin 7400/7450 terminals.

Set up the charger for use 2. Supply power3. Insert batteries CAUTION: Do not attempt to recharge any battery pack in the Dolphin 7400/7450 QuadCharger that is not manufactured by HHP especially for this device. To do so will void your warranty and could damage the Dolphin 7400/7450 QuadCharger. Setting Up The QuadChargerThe Dolphin QuadCharger should be set up on any dry, stable surface. DIN rail slots on the bottom panel allow the charger to be wall or desktop-mounted for easily adapting the unit to your environment. The charger must be connected to a power source for any type of operation. Supplying Power To The QuadChargerCAUTION: Using a non-HHP power cord voids your warranty and could result in serious damage to the Dolphin QuadCharger’s circuitry.Locate the AC power cord that came with the Dolphin QuadCharger. Plug the cord into the power supply connector on the back of the unit and then plug the power cord into a wall socket. Press and hold the Power Switch for approximately one second, then release, to turn on the Dolphin 7400 QuadCharger. The GREEN power LED will illuminate and the charger will undergo a self-diagnostic test.Inserting and Removing Battery Packs To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. Once the battery is properly seated, the orange status LED for that particular pocket will illuminate. For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before recharging them; temperature has a marked effect on charging. The recommended temperature range is 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C). Rear Panel of Dolphin 7400/7450 Quad ChargerPower Supply ConnectorCommunications Port
13 - 3The LEDs indicate the charging status of batteries as described in the chart shown on the next page: To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery out from the charging pocket with a hinging motion.Servicing The Battery PackTo service battery packs, insert batteries into the charging pockets and press the Condition button. The Condition LED will flash during the conditioning cycle. This starts an automatic process in which batteries are completely discharged and then recharged to full capacity in eight hours. The Condition and Calibrate cycle resets and calibrates battery data so that the user gets longer, more consistent performance from the batteries. HHP recommends that battery packs should be serviced, or calibrated, once a month. Because the Dolphin QuadCharger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire Condition and Calibrate cycle, it is important not to remove the battery until the cycle has been completed and the Condition LED is no longer flashing. Batteries inserted after the “Condition and Calibrate” switch has been depressed will receive a standard charge. The chart below describes the Status LEDs during the Condition and Calibrate cycle:Storing BatteriesTo maintain top performance from batteries, follow the guidelines below when storing them: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, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source. During long-term storage, battery deactivation may tend to occur which may cause charging to stop early during recharging after storage. This issue can be handled by charging and discharging the battery several times. Also, the first charging after prolonged storage may yield a lower than normal capacity. While this will vary depending on the storage conditions, charging and discharging the battery several times will almost completely restore capacity.

16 - 2Using the Modifier KeysThe Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal keyboard features the standard Windows modifier keys, Alt, Ctrl and Shift. The Shift key only modifies the next key pressed; it must be pressed before each key you wish to make lower case. For multiple lower case characters, hold the Shift key down with one hand while typing with the other. Functions of the Alt and Ctrl keys are dependent on the software application in use.There are two additional modifier keys located on the bottom row of the keyboard. The Red and Blue keys only modify the next key pressed; these keys must be pressed and released before each key you wish to modify to the Blue or Red case. Use these keys in combination with other keys to type the corresponding color-coded characters and functions. See the charts below for key combinations that access the functions and special characters using these keys.43-Key Alpha/Numeric KeyboardBlue Key Functions & Characters For 43-Key Alpha/Numeric KeyboardKey Combination Function/Special CharacterDouble tap Blue key Activate/Deactivate Mouse UtilityBlue key + D - (minus)Blue key + H _ (underscore)Blue key + L =Blue key + P +Blue key + Q ;Blue key + R :Blue key + S *Blue key + T /Blue key + U @Blue key + X \Red Key Functions & Characters For 43-Key Alpha Shifted Numeric KeyboardKey Combination Function/Special CharacterRed key + ESC Lightens Contrast*Red key + TAB Darkens Contrast*Red key + SFT Toggles on Caps LockRed key + Q F1Red key + R F2Red key + S F3
