For RS, the maximum communication speed is Kbps with seven baud rate settings. For USB, the communication speed is up to 12 Mbps. This means that, with the proper cable, the terminal can power another device. By default, power out is disabled.

To enable power out, alter the registry as follows:. Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel as using a screen protector and proper stylus.

Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity i. Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin devices. 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. 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.

Dolphin terminals ship with a screen protector already installed. You will need to replace the screen protector at regular intervals. 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. 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.

Press the screen protector firmly and carefully across the surface of the touch panel as you peel away the backing. If necessary, smooth out any air pockets or bumps. Some configurations of the terminal are available with an external plastic that is designed to resist the effects of harsh chemicals in a healthcare environment.

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. 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! When the Li-ion battery is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals:.

The Li-ion battery pack requires 4. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may pose a personal hazard to the user. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power.

Refer to the Product Service and Repair section of this guide. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge. Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3. 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 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.

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. 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:. The default values for these entries are as follows:. When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar. 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.

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. Tap OK to save changes. For more information, see Power on page A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data.

You would perform a soft reset when. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets. When the reset is complete, the Today screen displays. A hard reset resets the operating system, restores the terminal back to factory defaults, and resets the terminal after a bootloader, keyboard, and kernel upgrade.

The decode and scan LEDs light for approximately 3 seconds. The terminal re-initializes; see Initialize the Mobile Computer on page The terminal goes into suspend mode automatically when the terminal is inactive for a programmed period of time.
