Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack
installed on the back panel and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.
The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and
maintains the application data stored in RAM memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal's main
battery pack is completely discharged or removed.
Before Initial Use
Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. Charge the main battery pack
for a minimum of 4.5 hours before initial use.
Time to Charge
4.5 hours for the main battery pack, 8 hours for the internal backup battery the first time. Connect
the terminal to one of the 9000 series charging peripherals to charge; see
We recommend use of Hand Held Products peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-
Hand Held Products peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Step 3. Boot the Terminal
The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied and runs by itself. Do NOT press any keys or
interrupt the boot process. Only tap the screen when prompted.
When the boot process is complete, the Today screen appears and the terminal is ready for use.
Note: Because, the Today screen appears a number of times during the boot process, wait a few seconds before
tapping anything on the Today screen.
Step 4. Set the Time and Date
You need to re-set the time and date after every hard reset of the terminal. It is a good idea to set the time
and date now before you begin using the device.
On the Today screen, tap the line that displays the time and date,
The Clock Settings screen appears.
The time zone defaults to GMT-5 Eastern US; tap the arrow to the right of GMT-5 Eastern US to select
another time zone. Set the correct time and date in the remaining fields and tap
