Battery Power

The intelligent battery technology built into the terminal features two types of battery power:

???The main battery pack installed under the battery door on the back panel.

???The backup battery located inside the terminal.

Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.

Main Battery Pack

!Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

The 7.4V, 14.1 watt hour li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal and the internal backup battery. The li-ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50??C (14 to 122??F).

The mechanical switch works as described only when the terminal is running on battery power. If the terminal is running on AC power (via Dolphin charging peripheral), the mechanical switch will not suspend the terminal when the battery door is open.

If you open the battery door and remove the battery while the terminal is connected to AC power, the terminal will continue operating. However, if you remove AC power while the battery door is open and the battery is removed, the terminal will shut down without suspending and you will lose RAM data. To avoid data loss when removing AC power, always either suspend the terminal or install the battery prior to removing AC power.

Charging Options

When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals to charge the main battery pack:

???Dolphin HomeBase Device (see page 9-1)

???Dolphin ChargeBase (see page 11-1)

???One of the charging cables (see page 12-1)

To fully charge the li-ion battery outside the terminal, use one of the following:

???Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 10-1)

???Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase device

Charge Time

A completely discharged li-ion battery pack requires four(4) hours to charge to full capacity. Subsequent charge times vary according to the charge level of the battery pack when charging begins.

The li-ion battery packs that ship with Dolphin terminals are completely discharged of power. Therefore, charge the main battery pack for a minimum of four(4) hours prior to using the terminal on battery power.

Internal Backup Battery

Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6V nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery.

The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. The backup battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according to specifications.

Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory are not totally lost, but the terminal does automatically cold boot when you install a fully charged battery pack and you need to reset the real-time clock.

Charging

The internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires eight(8) hours charge time to backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main battery for four(4) hours; however, the internal backup battery will continue to charge off the main battery.

To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply for the first eight(8) hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a charging peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both.

Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the terminal???s internal backup battery:

???Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the terminal.

???Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use.

Managing Battery Power

Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the Dolphin terminal. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery.

Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN trigger does not wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.

Default Critical and Low Battery Points

Dolphin terminals are programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The following registry entry sets both warning points:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]

There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: LowBatt and CriticalBatt. The default values for these entries are as follows:

???LowBatt???=19 (25%)

This sets the Low Battery point to 25% (19 hex=25 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar .

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.

???CriticalBatt???=a (10%)

This sets the Critical Battery point to 10% (a hex= 0 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar .

Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.

Setting Critical and Low Battery Points

Developers can re-reset the default battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool.

1.Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit.

2.Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power. The CriticalBatt and LowBatt values appear in the list.

3.Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data. You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would warn whenever the charge drops below 99%).

4.Tap OK to save changes.

Note: For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User???s Guide, which is available for download at www.honeywell.com/aidc.

Checking Battery Power

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power.

For more information, see Power on page 6-12.

Storage Guidelines

To 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 Pack Use and Disposal

The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:

???Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell 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. 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.

???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 Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell 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 Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection.

Resetting the Terminal

There are two ways to reset the Dolphin terminal: a soft reset and a hard reset.

2.Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page 5-5. A range of 4???10 inches (10???25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.

3.Project the aiming pattern by pressing and holding the Scan trigger. The Scan LED lights red.

4.Center the aiming beam over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding; see Omni-Directional Scanning on page 5-6.

5.Release the Scan trigger.

6.When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.

Sample Bar Codes

You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:

Omni-Directional Scanning

Dolphin terminals support omni-directional scanning.

In general, the aiming pattern or beam is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the bar code and larger when farther from the bar code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the terminal whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the terminal.

Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.

5300 High-Vis Aiming Pattern

The red high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code.

5100 Green Aiming Beam

The green aiming beam projects outward in a straight line across the bar code.

Laser Engines (HP, LR, and ALR)

Laser engines do not support omni-directional scanning.

To achieve a successful scan, you must align the scanner horizontal to the bar code. A red beam appears across the bar code when the bar code has been read.

Memory

Dolphin terminals have two types of memory: volatile and non-volatile. Each type of memory has its own options.

Volatile

Data stored in volatile memory does not persist through cold boots; see Hard Reset (Cold Boot) on page 3-15. Volatile memory is used for running and storing programs as well as storing program data and is also known as RAM memory. The Dolphin 7850 terminal has 64MB of volatile memory by default.

Non-Volatile

Data stored in non-volatile Flash memory does persist through cold boots. The Dolphin 7850 terminal can have 64MB or 128MB of non-volatile memory depending in your configuration.

IPSM (Internal Persistent Storage Manager) is the on-board Flash memory. Because this memory is non- volatile, data and programs stored in IPSM are not affected when power is removed or a cold boot launched. For this reason, default programs and files for Dolphin terminals such as Autoinstall are stored in IPSM.

Use the Memory system setting to check memory usage after you receive warning messages about memory. There are three tabs: Main, Storage Card, and Running Programs.

Main Tab

This tab displays current capacity and usage of the 64MB or 128MB of on-board, volatile memory.

Storage Card Tab

This tab displays the current capacity and usage statistics of the selected memory type: IPSM or Storage Card. Select the memory type from the drop-down list. IPSM is selected by default.

Running Programs Tab

This tab displays the running software programs using storage memory. Check this tab when you are receiving out of memory errors or when the mobile computer is running slowly. Select a program in the list and tap Stop to stop it from running (and therefore from using memory). Tap Stop All to automatically stop all running programs.

Anytime you stop a running program, it frees up volatile memory. Be advised that, when

!you stop a program here, any unsaved data in that program is lost. To free up memory without risking data loss, return to the running program, save your data, and close the application.

Find Link

Find searches for large files using storage memory. Clicking Find opens the Search program with Larger than 64KB already selected in the Type field. Enter the search criteria and tap

Search.

Power

Battery Tab

On battery power Select the number of minutes of inactivity you want to pass before the terminal goes into suspend mode when running on battery power.

On external power Select the number of minutes of inactivity you want to pass before the terminal goes into suspend mode when running on external power.

Regional Settings

Regional Settings enables you to customize the appearance and formatting to your geographic region. Specifically, you can customize numbers (i.e., number of decimal places allowed), currency (i.e.,using the $ or ??? symbol), time, and date.

These specifications apply to all screens, including the Today screen. The Region tab displays an overview of the region selected in the drop-down list at the top. The terminal is loaded with a number of pre-programmed regional settings. Select one from the list and the results appear on the screen.

To see specific settings or change a specific setting, tap on one of the tabs, make the change and tap OK to save it. You need to show reboot the terminal for the changes take effect.

Remove Programs

The Remove Programs settings enables you to remove programs installed on the terminal. Use this setting to troubleshoot when you receive messages that the device is out of memory. The programs removed in the Remove Programs setting are removed from volatile memory.

1.Tap Remove Programs. In the list, select the program you want to remove.

2.Tap Remove. The following message appears:

3.Tap Yes. Wait while the program is removed.

4.Verify that the program no longer appears in the list and the total storage memory adjusts.

Convenient Storage

Intelligent battery charging makes the HomeBase device a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal.

Capacity

The HomeBase device can charge two battery packs: the one that???s installed in the terminal seated in the well and the other in the auxiliary battery well on the back panel. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the HomeBase device also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well charges a battery pack independently of the terminal well.

Intelligent Battery Charging

The HomeBase device completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four(4) hours.

In addition to charging, the HomeBase device powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity.

As a result, terminals may be stored in the HomeBase device without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals.

Power Supply

The HomeBase device is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert the voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 7.4 volts DC required by the terminal.
