Installing Additional Software

Dolphin terminals ship with the operating system, radio drivers, and custom Honeywell software already
installed. These default programs install when your terminal first boots up. You can install additional
software programs to the terminal provided that the following parameters are met:
• The software program was created for the Windows Mobile platform.
• The terminal has enough memory to store and run the program.
• The program has an EXE, CAB, or DLL extension.
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the
Windows Mobile 6 and the terminal's processor.
You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > About > Version tab. Make
a note of the information in the Processor field.
To install additional software, you can use the communication options described in this chapter.

Adding Programs via ActiveSync

When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows
Mobile 6 and the terminal's processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > System tab
> About > Version tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.
Generally, software for Windows Mobile-based devices must be installed to the host workstation first, then
transferred to the terminal.
1. Download the program to the workstation from either the Internet or the install CD. You may see a
single EXE or setup.exe file, a CAB file, or DLL. (There may also be several versions of files for dif-
ferent device types and processors.)
2. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3. Connect the terminal to the workstation via Honeywell communication peripheral.
If the File is an Installer
An installer program is one that installs to the workstation and the terminal simultaneously when the
workstation and the terminal are connected via ActiveSync; one process installs to both devices.
1. On the workstation, double-click the EXE or setup.exe file. The installation wizard begins.
