Checking The Battery Health; Managing Battery Power - Honeywell Dolphin 75e User Manual

• The maximum current supplied by a USB Host can vary from 100mA to 500mA. Do not attempt to charge the terminal
from a 100mA source. An active Dolphin terminal uses more current than supplied by a 100mA source causing the
terminal to continue to draw power from the battery.
Note: Placing the terminal in Sleep Mode (Suspend mode) while charging reduces the current draw of the terminal and
shortens the charging time of the battery.
To verify the battery is charging, touch All Apps
Charging a Severely Low or Completely Discharged Battery
The terminal powers off if the battery charge goes below 1%. Connect the terminal to an AC power source for
charging. When you first connect the terminal to power for charging, the battery status LED on the terminal flashes red.
As the battery charge reaches approximately 2%, the battery status LED changes to a steady amber and a battery
charging icon briefly appears on the touch panel screen. Once the battery reaches a safe charge threshold, the
terminal boots when the Power button is pressed. The length of time before the battery reaches a safe charge
threshold varies depending on the extent of the battery discharge.
Note: If you are charging the terminal from a USB host device (PC) using the USB Charge/Communication Cable, the
length of time before the battery reaches a safe charge threshold varies depending on the extent of the initial
battery discharge level and the current supplied by the USB charging source. Inadequate source current may
interfere with effective battery charging.

Checking the Battery Health

To see the percentage of recharging life left on the battery touch All Apps
Battery health is different than the amount of charge on left on the battery. For battery charge level information, select
Battery under Settings.

Managing Battery Power

Letting the battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Honeywell recommends, you keep
a charged battery in the terminal at all times to help prevent data loss. Removing the battery from the terminal erases all
non-persistent memory.
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.
