RF Exposure Information (SAR) This mobile phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.89 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.989 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: HD599EXLW . For body worn operation, this phone 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. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 1 - 5 For European Community Users Honeywell complies with Directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). 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. Hearing AID Compatibility (HAC) Dolphin (99EX or 9700) has been tested for hearing aid compatibility. This device has an M3 and T3 rating. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to www.honeywell.com/aidc. When some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices such as hearing aids and implants users may detect a buzzing, humming noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones/mobile computers are also vary in the amount of interference they generate. M-Rating: Phones rating M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better /higher of the two ratings. T- rating: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and likely to be more usable with hearing device’s telecoil than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 1 - 6 The more immune the hearing aid device is the less likely one is to experience interference noise from the wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Adding the rating of the hearing aid and the phone would determine probable usability: • Any combined equal to or greater than six offers the best use • Any combined rating equal to 5 considered normal use This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. 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.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 3 - 12 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 0.8 mm. 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 twelve (12) months if a screen pro- tector 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 pro- tector 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 there is no debris on 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. Healthcare Housing Some configurations of the 99EX terminal are available with an external plastic housing 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! The following cleaning solutions have been tested to assure safe cleaning of your terminal’s disinfectant-ready housing. They are the only solutions approved for use with these terminals. 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 • Sani-Cloth® Bleach wipes • Super Sani-Cloth® wipes
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 3 - 13 • Isopropyl Alcohol wipes (70%) • CaviWipes™ • Virex® 256 • 409® Glass and Surface Cleaner • Windex® Blue • Gentle dish soap and water Batteries There are three types of battery power: the main battery pack installed in the back panel, the backup battery located inside the terminal and the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery located inside the terminal. They are designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods. All batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin terminal for the first time! Note: The RTC battery will preserve the Real Time Clock 60 days after the main battery and internal backup battery are fully depleted. Main Battery Pack We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result ! in damage not covered by the warranty. The standard 3.7 V, 11.3 watt hour Li-poly or extended 3.7 V, 18.5 watt hour Li-ion battery pack is the pri- mary power source for the terminal. The Li-poly and Li-ion battery packs are designed to operate in a temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F). Note: Honeywell recommends placing the terminal in Software/Operating System Upgrades (see page 3-17) before removing the battery cover. Charging Options When the main battery pack is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals: • Dolphin 99EX HomeBase Device (see page 12-1) • Dolphin 99EX eBase Device (see page 13-1) • Dolphin 99EX Mobile Base Device (see page 14-1) • Dolphin 99EX ChargeBase Device (see page 15-1) • Dolphin 99EX Net Base Device (see page 16-1) When the main battery pack is not installed in the terminal: • Place the battery pack in the Dolphin 99EX QuadCharger Device (see page 17-1) • Place the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin 99EX HomeBase Device (see page 12-2) or Dolphin 99EX eBase Device (see page 13-1). Charging Time The standard 3.7V Li-poly battery pack requires 4.5 hours to charge completely before initial use. The extended 3.7V Li-ion battery pack requires 6 hours to charge completely before initial use. Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal backup battery is fully charged.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 3 - 14 Battery Error Notification If your terminal displays the following indicators, replace the main battery pack with a Honeywell Li-poly or Li-ion battery pack. • appears in the Title bar at the top of the touch screen. • The General Notification LED flashes red. • A Notification appears on the Tile bar at the bottom of the touch screen. Storing Batteries To maintain top performance from batteries, avoid storing batteries outside of the following temperature ranges: • 14°F to 113°F (-10°C to +45°C) for short term storage of less than one month • 32°F to 86°F (-0°C to +30°C) for long term storage Do not store batteries 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 or Li-poly 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. A battery contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines. • Do not use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals. • Do not 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 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, the battery life is limited. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge. • If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, 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. 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.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 3 - 15 Charging The internal backup batteries are powered by the main battery pack. Therefore, charging the internal backup batteries require that the main battery pack be installed in the terminal and the terminal be con- nected to a charging device. Note: Honeywell recommends placing the terminal in Software/Operating System Upgrades (see page 3-17) before removing the battery cover. The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal backup battery is fully charged. After that, if the internal backup battery becomes fully discharged of power, it requires a minimum of 30 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 or Li-poly 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 Letting the backup battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Honey- well recommends, you keep a charged battery pack in the terminal at all times to help prevent data loss. The internal battery discharges prematurely if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the termi- nal. 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 fol- lowing registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power] There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: MedState and LowState. The default values for these entries are as follows: MedState=25% This sets the Low Battery point to 25%. When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified. LowState=10% This sets the Critical Battery point to 10%. When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified. Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 3 - 16 Setting Critical and Low Battery Points Developers can reset the battery 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 > Power Tools > RegEdit. 2. Drill down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > ControlPanel > 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. For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User’s Guide avail- able for download at www.honeywellaidc.com. Checking Battery Power Tap > Settings > System > Power. For more information, see Power on page 7-16. Note: Tapping the battery icon at the top of the screen does not open the Power applet with this version of Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld. Resetting the Terminal There are three types of system resets: a soft reset, a hard reset and a factory reset. The soft and hard resets preserve all data stored in the file system. See Honeywell support for more information on how to perform a factory reset. Soft Reset (Warm Boot) A soft reset re-boots the device and preserves any objects created in RAM. You would perform a soft reset when: • the terminal fails to respond.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 3 - 17 • after installing some software applications. • after making changes to certain system settings, such as network cards. 1. Press and hold the CTRL ALT CTRL ENT + ENTER keys for approximately 5 seconds. 2. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets. 3. When the reset is complete, the Home screen displays. Hard Reset (Cold Boot) A hard reset re-boots the device and clears RAM data. Files in the user store are not affected unless you are performing a software upgrade. ! A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory! 1. Press and hold the CTRL ALT CTRL ESC + ESC keys for approximately 5 seconds. 2. The decode and scan LEDs light for approximately 3 seconds. 3. The terminal re-initializes; see Initialize the Mobile Computer on page 2-8. Software/Operating System Upgrades Software upgrades reset the device back to a factory state. Back up all user files to a storage card or external memory prior to performing a software upgrade. All files in the user store will be erased during an operating system upgrade. Data stored in the IPSM directory is preserved during an operating sys- tem upgrade. Suspend Mode The terminal goes into Suspend Mode automatically when the terminal is inactive for a programmed period of time. You can program this time on the Advance tab of the Power System Setting; see Power on page 7-16. To put the terminal into Suspend Mode manually, press the Power key and the screen goes blank. To wake the terminal from Suspend Mode, press the Power key or SCAN key SCAN . Hardware Maintenance When needed, clean the image engine window and the LCD display with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. The terminal can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 4 - 4 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 read- ing 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 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. Tap > Demos > Scan Demo . 2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the bar code. 3. Project the aiming beam or pattern by pressing and holding the SCAN key 4. The scan LED lights red. 5. Center the aiming beam over the bar code; see Aiming Options on page 4-4. SCAN . 6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps. 7. The bar code information is entered into the application in use. 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.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 4 - 6 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 99EX 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 soft- ware application used to take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. How- ever, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the larger the file size. Taking an Image The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images: 1. Tap > Demos > Imaging Demo . 2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object. 3. To preview the image, press and hold the SCAN key SC AN . 4. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red. 5. Adjust the terminal’s position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in the image. 6. 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.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 8 - 8 Communication To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center 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 Activehttp://www.microsoft.com/ from www.microsoft.com. Note: ActiveSync on your Dolphin terminal works with Windows Mobile Device Center on host workstations running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on host workstations running Windows XP. For detailed information on ActiveSync and WMDC visit Microsoft's Windows Mobile Web site. When communicating via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, 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, controling 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 3-11) 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 high-speed USB communication (USB 2.0); maximum data transfer rate is 480 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 synchronize successfully, ActiveSync (v4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center must be configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 8 - 9 ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center 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, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems. Setting Up the Host Workstation Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File > Con- nection Settings in the ActiveSync window on your workstation. 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.

11 - 1 11 Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 Working with GPS Overview The Dolphin 99EX 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 pro- vides turn-by-turn driving directions and location information. 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 pro- vide 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. Communication Ports There are two ways to access the GPS module: through the actual COM port (COM7) or the GPS Inter- mediate 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 applica- tion requires the GPS Intermediate Driver, set the operating system to use the GPS Intermediate Driver. Selecting the Port 1. Tap > Settings > System > External GPS. 2. In the GPS program port: drop-down list, select COM7 or GPD1 (the GPS Intermediate Driver) as required by the application.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 14 - 6 Powering the Dolphin Terminal When seated in a base that is connected to the appropriate power source, the Dolphin terminal receives the power to charge its main battery and run its internal circuitry. Keep the base plugged into the power source so that the Dolphin terminal battery pack stays fully charged. Note: Honeywell recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times. The base is powered via the power connector on the bottom panel; see Bottom Panel on page 14-3. Both the power and serial connectors are straight out, not at an angle. The base requires a 12 VDC power input. Charging the Dolphin Terminal The base supplies charging power to the Dolphin terminal so that the terminal can monitor the charging of its battery pack. This charging method protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. Therefore, the Dolphin terminal may be stored indefinitely in the base without damage to the terminal, the battery pack, or the base. 1. Insert a battery pack into the terminal. 2. Slide the terminal, imager window up and the LCD visible, into the terminal well until it stops. 3. When the terminal is properly seated, the DOCK LED on the base illuminates solid green. The terminal begins charging automatically. Establishing Communication The RS232 interface allows the terminal to communicate to a workstation, modem, any standard RS232 device using a standard RS232 and communications software. Requirements You need the following equipment: • A Mobile Base device powered by a power adapter cable • For RS232 communications, a serial cable • ActiveSync v4.5 or above or Windows Mobile Device Center on the host workstation • Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher), Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 on the host workstation. Connecting the Communication Cables Note: You must be using ActiveSync (4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center. 1. Plug in the power supply and connect it to the bottom of the base. 2. Plug the RS232 communication cable into the appropriate connector on base. 3. Connect the other end of the communication cable into the back of the workstation. 4. At this point, the hardware is installed and operating. You may need to reboot your workstation to complete the installation process.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 14 - 7 Establishing ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center Communication The Dolphin terminal is usually auto-detected and configured by ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center based on the communication cable. The synchronization software automatically sets up an RS232 connection when you are using an RS232 cable. For more details, see Communication on page 8-8. RS232 Communication Cables Connect the base to the host workstation or other device by plugging an RS232 serial cable into the RS232 Communications Port on the bottom of the base. Plug the other end of the RS232 serial cable into the correct port on the host RS232 device. The wiring of your cable depends on whether the other device is set up as a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device. The Communication Port is configured as a DCE device. To communicate with a DTE device such as a workstation, use a standard (or straight-through) RS232 cable. To communicate with a DCE device, use either a null modem adapter in line with a standard RS232 cable, or a null-modem serial cable. You can make your own cables by following the pin configuration in the chart that follows. To do so, you must determine if your host RS232 device is 9-pin or 25-pin, and whether it is configured as a DCE or DTE device.

To check the terminal’s system information, tap > Power Tools > SysInfo. • The Kernel version must be 26.01 or later in terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Classic. • In terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Professional, the kernel version must be 25.01 or later. Applications on the Dolphin Terminal Applications running on the Dolphin terminal when it is connected to the Net rack should be designed specifically for a partially connected network. For more details, please refer to the Best Practices for Par- tially Connected Networks document available at www.honeywellaidc.com.
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11 18 - 4 Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Rack By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically using a DHCP server. This means that in most cases, you would simply plug-and-play the unit. 1. Verify the Net Rack has power, see Connecting Power to the Rack on page 18-3. 2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the side of the Net Rack. 3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network. 4. Insert the Dolphin into one of the terminal wells. The terminal screen turns off and the right LED illuminates orange indicating a properly seated terminal. 5. By default, the DHCP server assigns a unique IP address to each of the Dolphin terminals docked in the Net Rack. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal. Note: Instead of using the default for DHCP assigned IP addresses, the Dolphin terminal can use a statically assigned IP address. See standard Microsoft Windows Mobile documentation for how to assign a static IP address to a network adapter. In this case, set a static IP address for the adapter named "SMSC9500 USB2.0 FAST Ethernet Drive". Mounting the Rack Mount the rack on a dry, stable surface, near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view Dolphin terminal’s LEDs while it is in the rack. When choosing a location, bear in mind that the mounting location must allow users easy access to the terminal wells, the Ethernet port (Net Rack only), and the power jack.
