Verifying Radio Status Dolphin 7900 terminals can be configured with a combination of the following radios: 802.11b, Bluetooth, and GSM/GPRS (MC-45). Radio drivers install during the autoinstall process after a hard reset (see Autoinstall on page 8). Only the appropriate drivers for the terminal’s radio configuration install. All radios and radio drivers are co-located inside the terminal.
Enabling Radios To successfully enable a radio, both the hardware module and the software driver must be installed on the terminal. If multiple radios are installed in your terminal, you must enable the radio combination and not each individual radio. To enable a radio or radio combination, select the radio in the Radio Modes list and tap Apply.
Using the Keyboards The Dolphin 7900 series features two keyboard options: 25-key numeric keyboard and 36-key alpha keyboard. Both keyboards are recessed under the overlay for maximum durability and contain three types of keys: function keys, navigation keys, and modifier keys.
