Wireless WAN Communications with GSM/GPRS
Overview
Dolphin 7900 terminals can be configured with Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) via an integrated Siemens® GSM/GPRS
tri-band radio module.
GSM - GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. It is an open, non-proprietary wireless wide area networking
system that is constantly evolving and growing. One of its great strengths is international roaming capability, which provides
standardized dialing in more than 170 countries.
GPRS - GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. It is a non-voice value added service that allows packet switched data
and information to be instantly sent and received across a mobile telephone network.
Powering Up the GSM/GPRS Radio Driver
When the mobile computer is first initialized, the radio driver for the GSM module is installed. Before using the radio, make sure
that the GSM radio is powered up. For more information, see The Radio Manager on page 4-8.
Tri-Band Antenna
Dolphin 7900 terminals configured with a GSM/GPRS
radio feature a tri-band antenna that supports 900,
1800 and 1900 MHz frequencies for worldwide mobile
applications.
Requirements
Using GMS/GPRS on a Dolphin 7900 terminal requires:
• a network subscription to a GSM/GPRS network (you need to know what service providers are in your geographic area), and
• a SIM card installed on the terminal.
Capabilities
Dolphin 7900 computers with integrated GSM/GPRS WWAN radios are optimized for the following two-way voice and data
communications:
• GSM voice data ("dial-up")
• SMS (Short Message Service) text messages
• GPRS Class 10 - data transmissions average. 40-60 Kbps (wireless network carrier dependent)

SIM Card Installation
SIM stands for Subscriber Information Module. A SIM card stores the subscriber's personal information, GSM/GPRS radio
settings, security key, contacts, etc. SIM cards can be installed and removed from compatible mobile devices, enabling you to
switch devices without losing your personal information. SIM cards are obtained and activated by the network provider that
supports your GSM/GPRS network.
Requirements
Before installing the SIM card:
• The SIM card must be activated by the service provider.
• The terminal must be powered down.
To Install a SIM Card:
On the Dolphin 7900 terminal, the access door is located on the left, side panel; see Side Panel Features on page 3-6.
Note: The access door on the left side panel is not user-accessible in the field. A special Torx T8 tool from HHP is required to
loosen the screws; HHP part number 100001024.
1. Obtain HHP part number 100001024.
2. Power down the terminal and lay it down on a flat surface.
3. Unscrew the faceplate of the access door.
4. Insert your SIM card.
5. Place the SIM card door over the secured SIM card.
6. Secure the faceplate.
7. Power on the terminal to verify that the SIM card is working.
Note: If the SIM card is not installed properly, the Dialler screen will indicate that no SIM card is installed.
11 - 2
Do NOT power on the device with the SIM card installed and the access door still open. You must secure the faceplate
before you power on the device. Failure to do so will could result in damage to the terminal and will void the warranty.

be so many different configurations, such as VPN or Proxy Server connections, see Connections Tab on page 7-20 for instruction
about how to set up each kind of connection.
Because GSM/GPRS technology uses a network connection, you need to configure those settings in the Connection Manager.
For details, see Connections Tab on page 7-20.
To Select Pre-Configured GPRS Settings
1. Go to Start > System > Connections tab > uPhone GPRS. The GPRS Settings screen appears displaying the default
settings.
The Current Profile drop-down list contains a number of pre-configured connection profiles.
2. If the profile associated with your account appears in the list, select it. If it does not appear in the Current Profile list, you need
to create one. For details, see To Add a GPRS Setting on page 11-27.

Messaging
Use Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages; this is your email Inbox. To use e-mail, you can:
• Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP or a network.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You need to enable Inbox synchronization
in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
During synchronization:
• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox
on the terminal. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and
file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
• E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop computer to be transferred.
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on the terminal are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those
programs.
Note: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information,
see Chapter 7.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In 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 the terminal to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Inbox
folder, messages in the Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from
the Inbox folder.
Messages received directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you
delete a message on the terminal, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect the terminal to the e-mail
server according to the settings 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 the terminal. When working offline, after 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.
Receiving Messages
When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, by default, you’ll receive messages from
the last five days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. The original
messages remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the
message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The icons in the
Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change
them at any time:
• Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
• Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on the terminal. Tap Tools and then tap Options. On the Service
tab, tap the service you want to change. Tap and hold the service and select Delete to remove a service.

4. Tap Send when you’ve finished the message.
If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.
5. If you are sending an SMS message and want to know if it was received, tap Edit, Options, and select Request SMS text
message delivery notification before sending the message.
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
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 selected options. To select these options, tap Tools > Options > Message tab.
To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message, tap Move to on the pop-up menu, and
select the desired folder.
To create additional folders, tap Tools > Manage Folders.

Folder Behavior with a Direct Connection to an E-mail Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
ActiveSync
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook on your desktop computer are automatically synchronized
with the terminal. 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.
SMS
If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
POP3
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the terminal
and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the
terminal 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 terminal.
IMAP4
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 the terminal or desktop computer. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when
connected.

Mobile Favorites Folder
Purpose
The Mobile Favorites folder was created on your desktop computer when you installed ActiveSync. It enables you to create
Favorite Links on your desktop computer that you can transfer to your Dolphin 7900 terminal. Those Favorite Links are then
available when browsing the internet on your terminal.
Process
First, you create your Favorite Links in the Mobile Favorites folder on your desktop computer. Then, the next time you sync your
desktop computer with your terminal, those Mobile Favorites are transferred to the Mobile Favorites folder on to your terminal.
Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer on your desktop computer are
synchronized with the Mobile Favorites folder on your terminal.
Note: Unless you mark a Favorite Link as a mobile favorite, only the link downloads to your terminal, and you will need to connect
to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop
computer.
Creating and Synchronizing Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your desktop computer, you can download Mobile Favorites to the
terminal. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your device so that you can view pages while you are
disconnected from your ISP and desktop computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites

Dolphin 7900 HomeBase
Overview
As the hub of your Dolphin 7900 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports both RS-232 and
USB communications, which make it able to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise systems. When a terminal is
seated in the HomeBase, its main battery pack charges in less that four hours.
Power
The HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. The HomeBase also provides power to
the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches
to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
Communications
Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115k baud can be transmitted by the HomeBase through the RS-232 serial
port. Using the full-speed USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps.
HomeBases cannot be physically connected to each other - sometimes referred to as “daisy-chained” - but can be networked
together via a serial or USB hub.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the Dolphin HomeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.
Capacity
The Dolphin HomeBase holds one terminal and features an auxiliary battery well behind the terminal well that can charges a
battery pack independently of the terminal well. This means that one HomeBase can charge two battery packs: the one installed
in the terminal and a spare.
Use only Dolphin 7900 series peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of peripherals, cables, or power
adapters not sold/manufactured by HHP will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.

Dolphin 7900 QuadCharger
Overview
The Dolphin QuadCharger is a four-slot charging station that can charge a Li-ion battery in less than four hours. The fourth slot
features a battery analyzer that completely resets and re-calibrates a battery and displays its resulting capacity.
Compatibility
The QuadCharger is compatible with the Li-ion batteries that power the Dolphin 7900 series of mobile computing devices.
Charging Process
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. The charger also resets and calibrates battery
pack data to accurately show battery status on the Dolphin display.
Use only Dolphin 7900 series peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of peripherals, cables, or power
adapters not sold/manufactured by HHP will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by HHP. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by HHP in a
Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.

Storing Batteries
Recommendations
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.
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).
Complete these steps:
1. Set up the QuadCharger.
2. Supply the QuadCharger with power and turn the power switch on.
3. Insert batteries into the appropriate slots. The Status LED for each slot turns orange to indicate that the battery has begun a
charge cycle.

Using the Battery Analyzer
Location
The battery analyzer is located in the fourth slot of the ChargeBase. Only batteries in this slot can be analyzed.
Analyze Cycle
The Analyze cycle is initiated when a battery is placed in the Charge/Analyze slot and the ANALYZE button
is pressed. In an Analyze cycle, batteries are completely discharged, then recharged to capacity, as well as
completely reset and re-calibrated.
The length of time it takes for a battery to complete the Analyze cycle varies depends on initial state of the
battery’s charge. Minimum time is 8 hours, maximum time is 12 hours.
Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs
The Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs are located along the right side of the Charge/Analyze slot. These LEDs
display the capacity of the battery at the end of the Analyze cycle. Battery capacity is displayed as a
percentage of measured capacity/rated capacity. Each LED equates to 10% battery capacity.
Purpose
Using the Charge/Analyze slot helps you monitor the charge capacity of Li-ion batteries over time. The LEDs
in this slot provides a readout of the battery’s capacity after a complete discharge and full charge. They tell
you the maximum charge level the battery can hold.
Status LED
The Charge/Analyze slot also contains a standard status LED in the upper, left corner of the slot. When this slot is used for regular
charging, this LED operates in the usual manner; see Status LEDs on page 16-2.
When this slot is being used to analyze a battery, the status LED functions as follows:
Status LED color
Indicates that the battery in the slot…
Solid Green
Has completed the Analyze cycle.
Flashing Orange
Is being analyzed.
Solid Red
Encountered an error during the Analyze cycle.
To Analyze a Battery
Complete these steps:
1. Insert the battery into the Charge/Analyze slot (the fourth).
2. Press the ANALYZE button. The Status LED flashes orange to indicate that the analyzing cycle has begun.
3. Upon completion of the Analyze cycle, the Status LED lights solid green, and the Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs display the
battery’s capacity.
