The I/O connector provides the following:
• Supports DC charging of the terminal and battery
• Facilitates RS232 serial communications interface, including RX, TX, RTS, CTS and GND signals
• USB interface to a host workstation via HomeBase or communication cable
All Dolphin 6000 peripherals are designed to work exclusively through this connector. The I/O connector supports RS232 and
USB communication. For RS232, the maximum communication speed is 115.2 Kbps with seven baud rate settings. For USB,
communication speed is up to 480 Mbps.

Using the Touch Panel

When using the terminal touch panel, it is recommended to use screen protectors and a proper stylus. Screen protectors are
meant to protect the touch panel for applications using a high-to-medium level of user interaction with the terminal through the
touch panel.
For general use, it is suggested to replace the screen protector every thirty (30) days. Cycles may vary according to the average
level of the usage of the touch panel.
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 0.8mm. 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 if a screen protector is applied and an
approved stylus is used for the 12 month duration covered by the warranty.

Battery Pack

We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not cov-
ered by the warranty.
The 3.7V, 5.7W hour Li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the terminal. The Li-ion battery is designed to operate
in a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F).

Charging Options

Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the terminal. Mating wet components may cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
Note:The battery may be charged (via HomeBase, USB Communication cable) as long as the temperature is between 0-
40°C (32-104° F). If the ambient temperature is less than 0° or greater than 40°C, the device runs off of battery power
even if external power is applied.
If the battery is installed in the terminal, it will be charged if the terminal is in the HomeBase or if the terminal is connected
to the USB Communication cable and the AC adapter is plugged in. (The terminal cannot be charged via the USB Commu-
nication cable only.) If the battery is not installed in the terminal, it may be charged by placing it in the HomeBase's battery
well. Use the Dolphin 6000 HomeBase (Refer to

Charging Time

The Li-ion battery pack requires 4 hours to charge completely before initial use.
