RF, Regulatory, and Safety Agency Approvals for 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth
Dolphin 7600 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth R&TTE Compliance Statement
Dolphin 7600 RF terminals are in conformity with all essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC). This equipment
has been assessed to the following standards as applicable:
This product is marked with in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the R&TTE
Directive, 1999/5/EC.
The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. Its authorization for use in France is restricted as
follows:
PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402 - 2.480 GHz
Restrictions in France are as follows:
• Indoor use - Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the entire 2400-2483.5 MHz
• Outdoor use - Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the 2400-2454 MHz band and maximum power (EIRP*) of 10 mW for
the 2454-2483 MHz band
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 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.

Battery Power
The Dolphin 7600 features intelligent battery technology with two types of battery power:
• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Installed Battery on page 3-4)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Dolphin 7600 for the first time! Initial charge time for the
main battery pack is four hours. Initial charge time for the internal backup battery is eight hours.
Main Battery Pack
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand
Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.
There are two Li-ion battery packs available for the Dolphin 7600:
Standard Li-ion 3.7V/2200mAh/8.1Wh
Optional Li-ion 3.7V/3240mAh/12.0Wh
The Li-ion battery packs are the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as the internal backup battery. The Li-ion
battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F).
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press and hold the Blue + Backlight keys to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-14)
so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. Always put the terminal in suspend mode prior to
changing the battery.
Charging Options
When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals:
•Dolphin HomeBase (see page 9-1)
•Dolphin Charge/Comm Cable (see page 13-1)
•Dolphin Power Cable (see page 13-1)
To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing it in the terminal, use the
•Dolphin QuadCharger (see page 10-1)
Charging Time
The Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge to full capacity.
Internal Backup Battery
Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6V nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) battery.
The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. The backup 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 are not totally lost. However, the
terminal automatically cold boots when you install a fully charged battery pack and you need to reset the real-time clock.
Charging
The internal backup battery is powered by the main battery pack and must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first
time. It takes approximately eight hours to fully charge the internal backup battery the first time. After that, if the internal backup
battery is ever fully discharged, it takes 10 hours to recharge.

Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphin’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.
Managing 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 SCAN button does not wake the Dolphin
terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.
Default Low and Critical Battery Points
The command bar at the bottom of the each screen displays battery warning icons when the main battery reaches low and critical
battery points.
The Dolphin terminal ships with default low and critical battery points already programmed in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
Note: Battery power warnings do not appear when the terminal is running on external power.
Setting Critical and Low Battery Points
Developers can re-reset the default battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool.
1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit?????.
2. Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power. The CriticalBatt and LowBatt
values appear in the list.
3. Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data. You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would warn
whenever the charge drops below 99%).
4. Tap OK to save changes.
Note: For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User’s Guide, which is available for
download at www.handheld.com.
Checking Battery Power
Power icons appear in the command bar at the bottom of the window. Double tap on this icon at any time to open the Power
system setting. For example, indicates a low battery.
You can also tap Start > Settings > Control Panel tab > Power.

In either case, the Battery tab opens displaying the charge status of both the main and backup batteries.
For more information, see Power on page 6-11.
Storage Guidelines
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
• 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.
Guidelines for Battery Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• Use only the battery supplied, recommended, or approved by Hand Held Products.
• 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 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.
• 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, please send it to Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand
Held Products service center for inspection.

Scan LED The LED on the left lights red when you press the scan trigger in scanning applications.
Decode LED The LED on the right lights green when a scanned bar code is successfully decoded.
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 support omni-directional aiming, which means 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 > 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 pattern by pressing and holding the Scan trigger. The Scan LED lights red.
4. Center the aiming beam 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. Release the Scan trigger.
6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
SCAN

Sample Bar Codes
You 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.
Laser Engines
Laser engines do not support omni-directional scanning. To achieve an optimal scan, center the red aiming beam across the bar
code horizontally as shown.

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 such as *.bmp, *.jpg
and *.png. The default file format for images is a grayscale *.jpg. To obtain the highest quality images, take
grayscale images.
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 > Demos > Image Demo.
2. Point the Dolphin 7600 terminal at the object.
3. Press the scan trigger 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 appears as you want it to appear in the image.
5. Hold the terminal still and release the Scan trigger. The touch screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the
screen.
6. By default, the image is saved to the My Device folder (Start > Programs > File Explorer > 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 5300SF/SR/HD imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Image
Demo application.
1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Options menu > Aimer.
2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.
Uploading Images
Image files can be transmitted to a host workstation via
• Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral, or
• Over your wireless radio network.

I/O Connector
The mechanical connector on the bottom panel (see I/O Connector on page 3-8) connects the terminal to various Dolphin
communication peripherals that connect to a host workstation via USB (1.1 or higher), thus enabling ActiveSync communication.
For more information about communicating with ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-4.
Wireless Radios
Dolphin 7600 terminals can be equipped with an 802.11b/g or Bluetooth radio or a combination of these radios. When the
terminal’s radios are enabled, you can connect the terminal to a wireless network for communication.
IrDA Port
The IrDA port enables the Dolphin 7600 to transmit data via pulses of infrared light to and from other IrDA-compliant devices,
such as printers, workstations, and even other Dolphin terminals.
For more information about communicating via the IrDA port, see Using Infrared???? on page 6-10.
Software Communication Programs
Dolphin terminals are shipped with the following communication software programs installed.
Microsoft ActiveSync v3.7 or Higher
Microsoft ActiveSync is a tool that enables mobile computing devices to exchange and synchronize application data
with a desktop computer. For more information, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-4.
Remote Access Services (RAS)
RAS is a feature built into Windows NT that enables users to log into an NT-based LAN using a modem, X.25
connection or WAN link. RAS is fully supported and allows the use of Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or Serial Line
IP (SLIP) connections for network connectivity.

ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize, ActiveSync 3.7 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type on the host
workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with 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.
If ActiveSync 3.7 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Microsoft Companion CD that came with the
Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, and
follow the directions on your screen.
Note: You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com and install.
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral
sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin Charge/Communication cable. Use of any
peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty.

WLAN Manager–802.11b/g
Overview
The Dolphin 7600 has an optional 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radio that uses Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b Wi-Fi-compliant products including Access
Points (APs), PCs via PC card adapters and other wireless portable devices.

2003 June 2.4 GHz 25 Mbit/s 54 Mbit/s 30~ m
In June 2003, a third modulation standard was ratified: 802.11g. This flavour works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but
operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54 Mbit/s, or about 24.7 Mbit/s net throughput like 802.11a. 802.11g hardware will
work with 802.11b hardware. Details of making b and g work well together occupied much of the lingering technical pro-
cess. In older networks, however, the presence of an 802.11b participant significantly reduces the speed of an 802.11g net-
work. The modulation scheme used in 802.11g is orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) for the data rates
of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbit/s, and reverts to (like the 802.11b standard) CCK for 5.5 and 11 Mbit/s and
DBPSK/DQPSK+DSSS for 1 and 2 Mbit/s. Even though 802.11g operates in the same frequency band as 802.11b, it can
achieve higher data rates because of its similarities to 802.11a. The maximum range of 802.11g devices is slightly greater than
that of 802.11b devices, but the range in which a client can achieve full (54 Mbit/s) data rate speed is much shorter than that of
802.11b.

Dolphin HomeBase
Overview
As the hub of your Dolphin 7600 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports full-speed USB
1.1 communication with a workstation.
Battery Charging
The HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours.
In addition to charging, the HomeBase powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that 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 that maintains the battery at full capacity.
As a result, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the HomeBase indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or
peripherals.
Communication
With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps.
HomeBases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–but can be networked
together via serial or USB hubs.
Convenient Storage
The battery charging system makes the HomeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.
Capacity
The HomeBase holds one Dolphin 7600 terminal and charges its battery pack.
Power Supply
The power cable that ships with each unit (see Charge the Batteries on page 2-2) also powers the Dolphin HomeBase.
Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power
adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand
Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.

The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the HomeBase. 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 Dolphin HomeBase is now powered.
When a terminal is properly seated in the terminal well, the Dolphin HomeBase powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main
battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-4).
Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the Dolphin HomeBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is
always ready to use.
Charging the Main Battery
The Dolphin HomeBase powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in less than four hours. To check battery
power, see Power on page 6-11.
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 Dolphin HomeBase; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase
on page 9-3.

Dolphin QuadCharger
Overview
The Dolphin QuadCharger is a four-slot charging station that charges both 2200mAh or 3240mAh Li-ion battery packs in less
than four hours.
Battery Charging
Each 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.
The charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately show battery status on the Dolphin display.
Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power
adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand
Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or bat
Front Panel

properly inserted. To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery out from the charging slot with a
hinging motion.
Charging Batteries in the QuadCharger
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).
1. Supply the QuadCharger with power and turn the power switch on.
2. Insert batteries into the appropriate slots. The Status LED for each slot turns orange to indicate that the battery has begun a
charge cycle.
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, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
Mounting the QuadCharger
The Dolphin QuadCharger should be on a dry, stable surface. To easily adapt the QuadCharger to your environment, it can be
mounted on a flat, horizontal surface such as a desktop or workbench, or a flat, vertical surface such as a wall using a DIN rail
on the bottom panel.

The Status LED does not come on when
I insert a battery pack into the Dolphin
QuadCharger
Check the power connections on the Dolphin QuadCharger; make sure
the POWER switch is ON and the battery pack is properly seated.
The Status LED lights red during
charging.
Try to charge the battery in one of the other charging slots. If the red
Status LED comes on again, then the problem is associated with the
battery pack. If the red status stays with the charging slot, the problem is
associated with the charging circuity.
The Status LED lights red and stays on
without a battery in the charging slot.
An error occurred during the self-diagnostic test for that particular
charging pocket. Call Hand Held Products Product Service and Repair
