Dolphin® 7850 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 3 - 11Battery PowerThe intelligent battery technology built into the terminal features two types of battery power: • The main battery pack installed under the battery door on the back panel.• 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. Main Battery PackUse only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not covered by the warranty. The 7.4V, 14.1 watt hour li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal and 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).Installing the Main Battery PackPress Blue + Backlight keys to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-15) before installing a new battery. Mechanical SwitchThe battery well area contains a mechanical switch located under the battery door. When the battery door is securely fastened, it presses on the mechanical switch allowing the terminal to power on and operate normally.When the battery door is removed, it no longer presses on the mechanical switch, which automatically suspends terminal operation. The terminal will not resume normal operations again until the battery door is re-fastened.The mechanical switch works as described only when the terminal is running on battery power. If the terminal is running on AC power (via Dolphin charging peripheral), the mechanical switch will not suspend the terminal when the battery door is open. If you open the battery door and remove the battery while the terminal is connected to AC power, the terminal will continue operating. However, if you remove AC power while the battery door is open and the battery is removed, the terminal will shut down without suspending and you will lose RAM data. To avoid data loss when removing AC power, always either suspend the terminal or install the battery prior to removing AC power.!Mechanical Switch
3 - 12 Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 Dolphin® 7850 Mobile ComputerUser’s Guide–PreliminaryCharging OptionsWhen the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals to charge the main battery pack:•Dolphin HomeBase Device (see page 9-1)•Dolphin ChargeBase (see page 11-1) • One of the charging cables (see page 12-1)To fully charge the li-ion battery outside the terminal, use one of the following:•Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 10-1)•Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase deviceCharge TimeA completely discharged li-ion battery pack requires four(4) hours to charge to full capacity. Subsequent charge times vary according to the charge level of the battery pack when charging begins. The li-ion battery packs that ship with Dolphin terminals are completely discharged of power. Therefore, charge the main battery pack for a minimum of four(4) hours prior to using the terminal on battery power. Internal Backup BatteryLocated 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, but the terminal does automatically cold boot when you install a fully charged battery pack and you need to reset the real-time clock.ChargingThe internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires eight(8) hours charge time to backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main battery for four(4) 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(8) 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.Guidelines Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the terminal’s internal backup battery:• Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the terminal. • Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use. Managing Battery PowerData 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 terminal. 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 trigger does not wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.
Dolphin® 7850 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 3 - 13Default Critical and Low Battery PointsDolphin terminals are programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The following registry entry sets both warning points: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power] There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: LowBatt and CriticalBatt. The default values for these entries are as follows:“LowBatt”=19 (25%)This sets the Low Battery point to 25% (19 hex=25 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar . If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN or Power button won’t wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a battery charged over 25% mark before you can resume terminal operation.“CriticalBatt”=a (10%)This sets the Critical Battery point to 10% (a hex= 0 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar . Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.Setting Critical and Low Battery PointsDevelopers 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.honeywell.com/aidc.

For more information, see Power on page 6-12.Storage GuidelinesTo 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 Pack Use and DisposalThe following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:• Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may pose a personal hazard to the user.• 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 battery is physically damaged in some way, please send it to Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection.• 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 Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection.

Dolphin® 7850 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 5 - 5DecodingThe 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 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. ALDALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (e.g., 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 > Demos > Scan Demo.2. Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page 5-5.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; see Omni-Directional Scanning on page 5-6.5. Release the Scan trigger.6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.Sample Bar CodesYou can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:Sample 128 Sample PDF417Code 128 PDF417 Test Message
5 - 6 Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 Dolphin® 7850 Mobile ComputerUser’s Guide–PreliminaryOmni-Directional ScanningDolphin terminals support omni-directional scanning. In general, the aiming pattern or beam is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the bar code and larger when farther from the bar code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the terminal whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the terminal.Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. 5300 High-Vis Aiming PatternThe red high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code. 5100 Green Aiming BeamThe green aiming beam projects outward in a straight line across the bar code. Laser Engines (HP, LR, and ALR)–Future Option OnlyLaser engines do not support omni-directional scanning. To achieve a successful scan, the red beam must completely cover the bar code.
Dolphin® 7850 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 5 - 7Capturing 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 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 slight degradation 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 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 SizeDigital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and an image definition up to a 256 grayscale. 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 > Demos > Image Demo.2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object.3. Press the scan trigger to activate the engine. The screen displays a preview of the object.4. Adjust the Dolphin terminal’s position until the preview on the screen appears as you want it to appear in the image.5. Hold the Dolphin terminal still and release the Scan trigger. The 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 PatternIf your Dolphin terminal is configured with an 5300 imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Image Demo application. For details about the aiming pattern, see Omni-Directional Scanning on page 5-6.1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Options menu > Aimer.2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.Uploading ImagesImage files can be transmitted to a host workstation via • Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral, or • Over your wireless radio network.

6 - 10 Rev (d): Preliminary7/15/2008 Dolphin® 7850 Mobile ComputerUser’s Guide–PreliminaryMemoryDolphin terminals have two types of memory: volatile and non-volatile. Each type of memory has its own options.VolatileData stored in volatile memory does not persist through cold boots; see Hard Reset (Cold Boot) on page 3-15. Volatile memory is used for running and storing programs as well as storing program data and is also known as RAM memory. The Dolphin 7850 terminal has 64MB of volatile memory by default.Non-VolatileData stored in non-volatile Flash memory does persist through cold boots. The Dolphin 7850 terminal can have 64MB or 128MB of non-volatile memory depending in your configuration.IPSM (Internal Persistent Storage Manager) is the on-board Flash memory. Because this memory is non-volatile, data and programs stored in IPSM are not affected when power is removed or a cold boot launched. For this reason, default programs and files for Dolphin terminals such as Autoinstall are stored in IPSM. Use the Memory system setting to check memory usage after you receive warning messages about memory. There are three tabs: Main, Storage Card, and Running Programs.Main TabThis tab displays current capacity and usage of the 64MB or 128MB of on-board, volatile memory. Field DescriptionColumns Storage: The part of RAM memory used for storing programs and program data.Program: The part of RAM memory used to run programs.Total Displays the current MB of memory allocated for Storage and Program use.In use Displays the total MB of that allocated memory being used in Storage and Program memory functions.Free Displays the total MB of memory available for Storage and Programs use.

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 4.1 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Getting Started CD that came with the Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and follow the directions on your screen. You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com and install.The host workstation must have Windows 98 Second Edition*, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installed. Note: The HomeBase device does not support Windows NT when using a USB connection because Windows NT does not support USB. *Windows 98 Second Edition provides full USB support.Setting Up the Host WorkstationTo sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for same communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your desktop computer before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time.Verify that ActiveSync on the host workstation has selected the appropriate communication type by opening ActiveSync and clicking File > Connection Settings.Note: You can have both USB and RS-232 selected in the software without affecting processing. However, your hardware setup should use only RS-232 or USB, not both.For USB communication,check Allow USB connections.For RS-232 communication, connect to COM1.

CommunicationRS-232 transmits data at speeds of up to 115 Kbps. With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps. HomeBase devices cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–but can be networked together through serial or USB hubs.Convenient Storage Intelligent battery charging makes the HomeBase device a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal. CapacityThe HomeBase device can charge two battery packs: the one that’s installed in the terminal seated in the well and the other in the auxiliary battery well on the back panel. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the HomeBase device also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well charges a battery pack independently of the terminal well. Intelligent Battery ChargingThe HomeBase device completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four(4) hours. In addition to charging, the HomeBase device 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, terminals may be stored in the HomeBase device without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals. Power SupplyThe HomeBase device is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert the voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 7.4 volts DC required by the terminal.Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not covered by the warranty. Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Honeywell.
