Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Information This product has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment, if not properly disposed. In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems for product disposal. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of the product you are disposing in a sound way. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol informs you that the product should not be disposed of along with municipal waste and invites you to use the appropriate separate take-back systems for product disposal. If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration. You may also contact your supplier for more information on the environmental performances of this product. 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 terminal is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the RF from the Dolphin terminal 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.
2 - 1 For United State of America Users For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Operation on the 5.15-5.25GHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only. The FCC requires indoor use for the 5.15-5.25GHz band to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your Dolphin 9700 device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. Your Dolphin 9700 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M3 and/or T3 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.) The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices. For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

3 - 11 Using the Touch Panel Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel as using a screen protector and proper stylus. Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is why their use is recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface with the touch panel, such as signature capture for proof of delivery. Honeywell advocates the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin devices. We recommend implementing a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen protectors are replaced periodically when signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we recommend replacing the screen protector every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary according to the average level of touch panel use in your application. Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Please contact a Honeywell sales associate for details. Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than 0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times. Honeywell warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first 12 months provided that a screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12 month duration covered by the warranty. Installing a Screen Protector Dolphin terminals ship with a screen protector already installed. You will need to replace the screen protector at regular intervals. 1. After the current screen protector has been removed from the touch panel, clean the touch panel thoroughly with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Make sure nothing else is still attached to the touch panel. 2. Align the exposed section of the protector with the bottom edge of the touch panel. Make sure that the screen protector is flush with each side of the touch panel. To reposition, lift up gently and reapply. 3. Press the screen protector firmly and carefully across the surface of the touch panel as you peel away the backing. 4. If necessary, smooth out any air pockets or bumps.
3 - 12 Healthcare Housing Some configurations of the 9700 terminal are available with an external plastic that is designed to resist the effects of harsh chemicals in a healthcare environment. The plastic is crystalline in nature, which helps prevent chemicals from seeping through the housing. Important!

Damage caused by the use of cleaners other than those listed below may not be covered by the warranty. • Sani-Cloth® HB wipes • Sani-Cloth® Plus wipes • Super Sani-Cloth® wipes • Isopropyl Alcohol wipes (70%) • CaviWipes™ • Virex® 256 • 409® Glass and Surface Cleaner • Windex® Blue • Clorox® Bleach – 100% • Gentle dish soap and water
3 - 13 Batteries There are two types of battery power: the main battery pack installed in the back panel and the backup battery located inside the terminal. They are designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods. Both batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin terminal for the first time! Main Battery Pack We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in ! damage not covered by the warranty. The 7.4V, 12.0 watt hour Li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the terminal. The Li-ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F). Charging Options When the Li-ion battery is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals: • Dolphin 9700 HomeBase Device (see page 11-1) • Dolphin 9700 Mobile Base Device (see page 12-1) • Dolphin 9700 ChargeBase Device (see page 13-1) • Dolphin 9700 Net Base (Please see the Dolphin Net Base Quick Start Guide on www.honeywellaidc.com.) • Dolphin 9700 Mobile Charger When the Li-ion battery is not installed in the terminal: • Place the battery pack in the Dolphin 9700 QuadCharger device (see page 14-4) • Place the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin 9700 HomeBase device (see page 11-6). Charging Time The Li-ion battery pack requires 4 hours to charge completely before initial use. Storing Batteries 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 Pack Use and Disposal The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries: • We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may pose a personal hazard to the user. • Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal. • Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines. • Don’t use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals. • Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can explode and cause severe personal injury.
3 - 14 • Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power. • If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged, please send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to the Product Service and Repair section of this guide. • Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge. • If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, please send it to Honeywell International or an authorized service center for inspection. Internal Backup Battery Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6 Volt nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to remove and replace the main battery pack. It retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes when the main battery pack is removed. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery needs to be recharged to function according to its specifications. Note: Data and programs stored in Flash memory are not lost even if the internal backup battery fails. However, you must reset the real-time clock; see Set the Time and Date on page 2-2. Charging The internal backup battery is powered by the main battery pack. Therefore, charging the internal backup battery requires that the main battery pack be installed in the terminal and the terminal be connected to a charging device. The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. The initial charge cycle takes approximately 8 hours. After that, if the internal backup battery becomes fully discharged of power, it requires a minimum of 10 hours of charging time to function normally. Guidelines for Use Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the internal backup battery: • Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the terminal; the backup battery prematurely discharges if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. • Keep the terminal connected to power when the terminal is not in use. Managing Battery Power Data and files saved on Dolphin terminals may be stored in RAM memory, which does not persist through a hard reset. Therefore, to help prevent data loss, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal. Letting the backup battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Therefore, you should keep a charged battery pack in the terminal at all times. The internal battery discharges prematurely if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the terminal immediately. Default Critical and Low Battery Points When the terminal is running on battery power (as opposed to external power), warnings are displayed when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The warning points are determined by the following registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
3 - 15 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 the 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 Points Developers can reset these parameters in the registry from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly always warn). You can review and set these battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool. 1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit. 2. Drill down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power. 3. Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data. You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly always warn). 4. Tap OK to save changes.

4 - 3 Decoding The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-Area Imaging Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking. When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive read can be obtained from many positions; see Aiming Options on page 4-4. To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. ALD ALD provides fast reading of linear and stacked linear bar codes. To achieve a positive read when reading linear 1D and PDF417 bar codes, the green aiming beam 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 The imager faces straight out the top panel. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding. A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended. 1. Point the Dolphin terminal directly at the bar code. 2. Project the aiming beam or pattern by pressing and holding the SCAN key. 3. The scan LED lights red. 4. Center the aiming beam over the bar code; see Aiming Options on page 4-4. 5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps. 6. The bar code information is entered into the application in use.
4 - 4 Aiming Options The aiming beams are 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 whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. 5100 Green Aiming Beam Linear Bar Code 2D Matrix Symbol 5300 Red High-Vis Aiming Pattern If your Dolphin terminal is configured with a 5300 imager, high-vis aimers frame the bar code for more intuitive aiming.
4 - 5 Capturing Images The 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 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. The live video image has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal. Scan Key On all 9700 terminals, the SCAN key captures images. File Formats File formats supported for image storage include Bitmap (BMP), JPEG (JPG) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG). The default file format for images is a grayscale JPG. Compression 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 images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the larger the file size. For the highest quality image, take grayscale images. Taking an Image The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images: 1. Point the Dolphin terminal directly at the object. The imager points straight out the top panel. 2. To preview the image, press and hold the SCAN key. 3. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red. 4. Adjust the terminal’s position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in the image. 5. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key. The scan and decode LEDs flash red, the screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen. 6. Unless otherwise specified by the application in use, the image is saved to the \My Device\My Documents folder (Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device > My Documents).
4 - 6 Enabling the Aimer If your Dolphin terminal is configured with the 5300 imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Imaging Demo.

7 - 8 ActiveSync Communication To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync 4.5 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 4.5 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, you can download and install the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com. When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with ! a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as the charge/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause damage not covered by the warranty. Capabilities • Back up and restore your device data. • Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and workstation. • Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your workstation 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. Communication Types The Dolphin terminal supports the following types of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O Connector (see page 3-10) on the bottom panel: USB The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the terminal to communicate with a workstation or to networked through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal supports full-speed USB communication (USB 1.1); maximum data transfer rate is 12 Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box. RS232 The RS232 cable allows the terminal to communicate with a workstation, modem, or any RS232 device. Maximum data transfer rate is 115 Kbps. Hardware Requirements for Setup • Dolphin communication peripheral or cable • Dolphin power cable from Honeywell • USB cable (for USB communication) • Serial cable (for RS232 communication) Software Requirements for Communication • To sync successfully, ActiveSync v4.5 or higher must be configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time. • Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher), Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating systems.
7 - 9 Setting Up the Host Workstation Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File > Connection Settings. For USB communication, check Allow USB connections. For RS232 communication, connect to COM1. Note: You can have both USB and RS232 selected in the software without affecting processing. However, your hardware setup should use only RS232 or USB, not both. Communicating with the Dolphin Terminal After setting up both the workstation and the terminal, ActiveSync connection should be automatic. 1. Connect the Dolphin terminal to a Dolphin communication peripheral. 2. The Dolphin terminal automatically opens ActiveSync to establish a connection. Synchronizing with the Host Workstation After setup, synchronization begins automatically whenever the terminal’s mechanical connector connects to a Dolphin peripheral that is connected to a host workstation with ActiveSync installed. Exploring the Terminal from the Workstation When the Dolphin terminal and workstation are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the desktop), and click Explore. The Mobile Device folder opens in Windows Explorer. The Dolphin terminal is now treated as a mass storage device, and transferring files is as simple as dragging and dropping or copying and pasting.

8 - 1 8 Working with GSM Overview The Dolphin 9700 terminal can be configured with an integrated, embedded GSM/GPRS quad-band radio module for WWAN communication. GSM Short for Global System for Mobile communications, GSM is an open, non-proprietary wireless WAN system that is constantly evolving and growing. GPRS Short for General Packet Radio Service, GPRS is a non-voice value added service that allows packet-switched data to be instantly sent and received across mobile telephone networks. Requirements Using GSM/GPRS requires a: • Network subscription to a GSM/GPRS network (you need to know what service providers are in your geographic area), and • An installed SIM card that has been activated by the network service provider (see SIM Card Installation on page 8-2). Quad Band Antenna The GSM radio features an internal antenna that is optimized for power output and receiver sensitivity. This is an omni-directional antenna with zero dBm gain. For the MC-75 radio, there are two different antennas based on geographical location; each supports two bandwidths: Europe: Supports 900 MHz and 2100 MHz bands. North America: Supports 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands. Signal Strength The signal strength of the GSM connection is indicated by the number of bars that appear in the signal strength icon in the Navigation bar at the top of the window. Icon Indicates… The signal strength of the radio connection. The signal strength of the phone (voice) connection; see page 8-5. The signal strength of the data connection; see page 8-8.
8 - 2 Voice and Data Communication Dolphin terminals with integrated GSM/GPRS radios are optimized for the following two-way voice and data communications: Voice: GSM voice data ("dial-up") Data: GPRS Class 10 Data transmissions average 40-60 Kbps (available speed depends on the wireless network carrier). You can use the GSM radio for voice communication and data communication but not at the same time. If you want to communicate over the phone (voice), you cannot send data. If you want to send data, you cannot use the phone. SIM Card Installation Short for Subscriber Information Module, a SIM card stores the subscriber's personal information, GSM/ GPRS radio settings, security keys, contacts, etc. SIM cards are installed in compatible mobile devices, enabling you to switch devices without losing personal and setup information. SIM Card Requirements Before installing the SIM card: • The SIM card must be activated by the service provider. • The terminal must be powered down.

10 - 1 10 Working with GPS Overview The Dolphin 9700 terminal contains an integrated GPS module that allows location tracking of workers and vehicles, providing better utilization of field assets. Optional mapping and navigation software provides turn-by-turn driving directions and location information, allowing workers to arrive on time. Assisted GPS Support The operating system software does not inhibit nor explicitly support assisted GPS modes, which usually requires installing a vendor-specific client on the terminal that communicates with the GPS module. This client would then provide the almanac and/or ephemeris data for warm or hot start modes of operation, allowing a lower time to first fix (TTFS). The Client must be configured on the terminal, active, and provide the data to the GPS module through the standard COM port. Powering the GPS Module The GPS module powers on automatically when accessed by a software application and powers off automatically when that software application closes. You cannot manually power on and off the GPS module.
10 - 2 Communication Ports There are two ways to access the GPS module: through the actual COM port (COM7) or the GPS Intermediate Driver. The method you use depends on the software application you are using. If the software application requires the actual COM Port, set the operating system to use COM7. If the software application requires the GPS Intermediate Driver, set the operating system to use the GPS Intermediate Driver. Selecting the Port 1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > External GPS. 2. In the GPS program port: drop-down list, select COM7 or GPD1 (the GPS Intermediate Driver) as required by the application. 3. Tap OK to save. COM7 COM Port 7 can be set to the following baud rates: • 4800 • 9600 (This is the default baud rate and recommended for optimal GPS functioning.) • 19200 • 38400 Other baud rates are not possible. The baud rate selected on COM7 is the actual baud rate with which the GPS will be communicating. GPS Intermediate Driver When the first user of GPD1 opens the port, the GPS Intermediate Driver in turn opens port COM7. The GPS Intermediate Driver allows multiple applications to open GPD1, and the GPS data is broadcast to all open ports. When the GPSID driver is in use, the COM7 port is allocated to GPSID as READ|WRITE. (COM7 is still available for access mode of 0.) For more information about Microsoft’s GPS Intermediate Driver, follow this link: http:// msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms850332.aspx
