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 as you would for moving files between folders on your hard drive.
Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (a) 023/5/083 - 13Using 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 continues to advocate 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.Hand Held Products 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 Your Screen Protector1. 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 it lies flush with each side of the touch panel. To reposition, lift up gently and reapply.

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (a) 023/5/083 - 15BatteriesDolphin terminals feature intelligent battery technology. 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 PackUse only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage the terminal and/or the battery, may pose a personal hazard to the user, and will void the warranty. The 7.4V, 14.8 watt hour Li-Ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin. The Li-Ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14 to 122°F). For the location of the Li-Ion battery on the terminal, see Battery Well on page 3-7. Charging OptionsWhen the Li-ion battery is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals:•Dolphin HomeBase (see page 10-1)•Dolphin Mobile Base (see page 11-1)•Dolphin ChargeBase (see page 12-1)• Dolphin Net Base (Please see the Dolphin Net Base Quick Start Guide on www.handheld.com.)• Dolphin Mobile Charger – connect the charger to the terminal and vehicle power portNote: Make sure the mechanical connector on the terminal is properly connected to the peripheral and that the peripheral is connected to the appropriate power supply.When the Li-ion battery is not installed in the terminal:• Place the battery pack in the Dolphin QuadCharger; see Charging Batteries in the QuadCharger on page 13-4.• Place the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase (see page 10-6). Charging TimeThe Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge completely.Storing BatteriesTo maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4° to 104° F (-20° to 40°C) or in extremely high humidity.• For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source. Guidelines for Battery Use and DisposalThe following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:• Use only the battery supplied, recommended, or approved by Hand Held Products. • Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.• Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines. • Don’t use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals. !
3 - 16 Rev (a) 023/5/08Dolphin® 9900 Mobile ComputerUser’s Guide–Preliminary• 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 Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products 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 Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products service center for inspection.
Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (a) 023/5/083 - 17Internal Backup BatteryLocated 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 2-3.ChargingThe 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 eight 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 UseFollow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphin’s internal backup battery:• Keep a charged Li-Ion battery pack in the Dolphin terminal. The internal battery prematurely discharges if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal.• Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to power when the terminal is not in use.
3 - 18 Rev (a) 023/5/08Dolphin® 9900 Mobile ComputerUser’s Guide–PreliminaryManaging Battery PowerData 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 Dolphin 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 Dolphin immediately. Default Critical and Low Battery PointsDolphin terminals are programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. There are two DWORD value registry entries [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power] that set the warning points. The default values for these entries are as follows:“LowBatt”=19 (25%)This sets the Low Battery point to 25% (19 hex=25 decimal). The low battery setting is the point at which the user is notified that the battery is low by an icon in the Navigation bar. The user is notified only once for a low battery.“CriticalBatt”=a (10%)This sets the Critical Battery point to 10% (a hex= 0 decimal). The critical battery setting is the point at which the customer is warned that the battery charge is very low. This warning is posted every 3 minutes until the situation is corrected.Status NotificationsIcons appear in the Navigation bar to indicate battery status.The main battery pack is low (at 25% or less). 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. The main battery is critically low (at 10% or less). The backup battery is low. Setting Critical and Low Battery PointsDevelopers can reset these parameters in the registry from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would nearly always warn). Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.You can review and set these battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool. 1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit.

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (a) 023/5/084 - 3DecodingThe 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 ImagingFull-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 Scanning Position Options on page 4-4. To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. ALDALD 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 Code1. Point the Dolphin terminal directly at the 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. 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 Scanning Position 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.

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (a) 023/5/084 - 5Capturing ImagesThe 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, Dolphin touch screens display 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 The SCAN key captures images.Image Files The 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. Compression 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 ImageThe 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.

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 1800 MHz bands. North America Supports 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands. CapabilitiesDolphin terminals with integrated GSM/GPRS radios are optimized for the following two-way voice and data communications: • GSM voice data ("dial-up")• 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. RequirementsUsing 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).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.
