    The duration of backlight of keypad synchronizes with LCD backlight’s. Using Screen Protectors Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display as using a screen protector and proper stylus. Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is why their use is recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface with the touch panel.
  • Page 15 Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Contact a Honeywell sales representative 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.

    Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time. Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Dolphin 6510 for the first time! Charge the main battery pack with the Dolphin charging cable until the LED turns green (red while charging).
  • Page 24 Changing the Main Battery Pack Before installing a battery pack, press the Power button on the 28-key Dolphin 6510 or press the Blue then Z ( Power) keys on the 52-key Dolphin 6510 to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-16) so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source.
  • Page 25 Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in Suspend Mode, pressing the button does wake the Dolphin 6510 terminal; you must first replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery or apply A/C power to the terminal. Checking Battery Power Power icons appear in the command bar at the bottom of the window.

  • Page 26: Resetting The Terminal

    • 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, send it to Honeywell International or an authorized service center for inspection.

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

  • Page 40: Capturing Images

    Capturing Images The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt to different application environments. Image Preview When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object. This is a live video image of what the imager is currently viewing and has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image.
