Both batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin terminal for the first time! Main Battery Pack We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.
Page 37: Internal Backup Battery
• 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 International or an authorized service center for inspection.
Page 38: Managing Battery Power
Charging The internal backup battery is powered by the main battery pack. Therefore, charging the internal backup battery requires that the main battery pack be installed in the terminal and the terminal be connected to a charging device. The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. The initial charge cycle takes approximately 8 hours.
Page 39: Checking Battery Power

Page 41: Chapter 4 - Using The Scan Image Engine
Using the Scan Image Engine Overview The Dolphin terminal houses a compact image engine that instantly reads popular 1D and 2D bar codes and supports omni-directional aiming and decoding for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture digital images, such as signatures and pictures of damaged inventory. With the latest CMOS-based technology, the engine works like a digital camera and enables digital image capture, signature capture, and reading of OCR characters.

Page 44: Decoding
Decoding The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-Area Imaging Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking.
Page 45: Aiming Options
Aiming Options The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
Page 46: Capturing Images
Capturing Images The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt it to different application environments. Image Preview When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object.
Page 47: Uploading Images
