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.

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.

Getting
Started
Out of the Box
Verify that the carton contains the following items:
• Dolphin 9700 mobile computer (the terminal)
• Main battery pack (7.4V Li-ion)
• Quick Start Guide
Note: If you ordered accessories for your terminals, verify that they are also included with the order.
Be sure to keep the original packaging in the event that the Dolphin terminal should need to be returned
for service. For details, see Product Service and Repair on page 15-1.
Step 1. Install the Main Battery Pack
New Image
Required
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
2 - 2
Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack
installed on the back panel and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.
The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and
maintains the application data stored in RAM memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main
battery pack is completely discharged or removed.
Before Initial Use
Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. Charge the main battery pack
for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use.
Time to Charge
The initial charging time for the main battery pack is 4 hours, and 8 hours for the internal backup
battery. Connect the terminal to one of the 9700 series charging peripherals to charge; see
Peripherals for the 9700 on page 3-2.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
!
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Step 3. Boot the Terminal
The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied and runs by itself. Do NOT press any keys or
interrupt the boot process. Only tap the screen when prompted.
When the boot process is complete, the Today screen appears, and the terminal is ready for use.
Note: Because, the Today screen appears a number of times during the boot process, wait a few seconds before
tapping anything on the Today screen.
Step 4. Set the Time and Date
You need to re-set the time and date after every hard reset of the terminal. On the Today screen, tap the
line that displays the time and date,

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.

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).

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.

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. For details about the aimer, see 5300 Red High-Vis Aiming Pattern on page 4-4.
1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Setup menu > Aimer.
2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.
Uploading Images
Image files can be uploaded to a host workstation via Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication
peripheral or your wireless radio connection.

Memory
The Memory system setting displays capacity and usage statistics for both RAM (volatile) and IPSM/
Storage Card (non-volatile) memory. Access this setting whenever you receive system messages about
memory.
You cannot change the terminal’s memory allocation in the Memory system setting. To change the
memory allocation, you need to use the SetRAM Power Tool (Start > Power Tools > SetRAM). For more
details, please refer to the Honeywell Power Tools User’s Guide, which is available for download from
www.honeywellaidc.com.
There are three tabs: Main, Storage Card, and Running Programs.
Main Tab
Storage Card Tab
This tab displays the usage statistics of the on-board,
volatile RAM memory.
Columns:
Storage
=
RAM memory used
to
store programs and program
data.
Program
=
RAM memory used to run programs.
Rows:
Total=Displays the current MB of memory allocated for use.
In
use
=Displays the total MB
of
that allocated memory being
used.
Free=Displays the total MB of memory available.
This tab displays the current capacity and usage statistics
of the selected memory type: IPSM or Storage Card.
Select the memory type from the drop-down list. IPSM is
selected by default.
Total storage card memory=
The total MB of memory capacity of IPSM or Storage Card.
In use
=
The MB currently being used.
Free=The MB that is still available for use.
IPSM—Short for Internal Persistent Storage Manager, this is the on-board Flash
memory that is non-volatile. Because this memory is non-volatile, data or programs
stored in IPSM are not affected when power is removed. Autoinstall programs, for
example, are stored in IPSM so that they are always installed at cold-boot startup.
Storage Card—You can install one memory card in Dolphin terminals (see Installing
a Memory Card on page 3-9). If a storage card is installed in the terminal, you can
select it in the drop-down list and see capacity and usage statistics for the card.

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.

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.

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://

full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
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.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
Capacity
The base can hold up to 4 Dolphin terminals. Each charging slot charges each terminal independently of
the other slots.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Using the Battery Analyzer
Purpose
Using the Charge/Analyze slot helps you monitor the charge capacity of Li-ion batteries over time.
Location
The battery analyzer is located in the 4th slot - named the Charge/Analyze slot - of the ChargeBase. Only
a battery placed in this slot can be run through an Analyze cycle. This slot contains Battery Capacity LEDs
along the right side.
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. The length of time it takes for a battery to complete the Analyze cycle
varies depending on the initial state of the battery’s charge. Minimum time is 8 hours, maximum
time is 12 hours.
Battery Capacity LEDs
The Battery Capacity LEDs are located along the right side of the Charge/Analyze slot. Each
LED equates to 10% battery capacity. 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.
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
14-2.
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
1. Insert the battery into the Charge/Analyze slot (the 4th).
2. Press the ANALYZE button. The Status LED flashes orange to indicate that the analyzing cycle has
begun.
The charger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire Analyze cycle. Do NOT remove the
!
battery until the cycle has been completed.
3. Upon completion of the Analyze cycle, the Status LED lights solid green, and the Battery Capacity
Indicator LEDs display the battery’s capacity.
You can verify a battery’s capacity by installing the battery in a terminal and checking the power; see RIL
on page 6-12.
