The mechanical connector also provides power out (to peripheral devices) 5V at 500mA. This means that, with the proper Honeywell cable, the terminal can power another device. By default, power out is disabled. To enable power out, alter the registry as follows:...
Page 28: Activesync Communication
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host PC with a peripheral device sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase, Dolphin Mobile Base, Dolphin Net Base, Dolphin Mobile Charger or other Dolphin 9900 Series charging/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty.
Page 29 Software Requirements for Communication To sync successfully, ActiveSync 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. Setting Up the Host Workstation Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File >...

Page 33: Batteries
Batteries Dolphin 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 Pack Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products.
Page 34 • 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.
Page 35: Internal Backup Battery
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.
Page 36: Managing Battery Power
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 Dolphin at all times.
Page 37: Checking Battery Power
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. For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User’s Guide available for download at www.handheld.com.
Page 38: Resetting The Terminal
Resetting the Terminal There are two types of system resets: a soft and a hard reset. Soft Reset (Warm Boot) A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data. You would perform a soft reset when • the terminal fails to respond. •...

Page 41: Decoding
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.
Page 42: Scanning Position Options
Scanning Position 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.
Page 43: Capturing Images
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, Dolphin touch screens display a preview of the object. This is a live video image of what the imager is currently viewing.
