Rubber bumpers enable you to set the terminal down on a flat surface with easy access to the handle, so you can pick up and put down the terminal with ease. Front Rubber Bumpers Pistol-Grip Rubber Bumpers Front Rubber Bumpers The front rubber bumpers enable you to rest the terminal on a flat surface without damaging the scan engine window. 3 - 10 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Battery Power The intelligent battery technology built into the terminal features two types of battery power:
The main battery pack installed under the battery door on the back panel.
The backup battery located inside the terminal. Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time. Main Battery Pack
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not covered by the warranty. The 7.4V, 14.1 watt hour li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal and the internal backup battery. The li-ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50C
(14 to 122F). Installing the Main Battery Pack Press Blue + Backlight keys to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-15) before installing a new battery. Mechanical Switch The battery well area contains a mechanical switch located under the battery door. When the battery door is securely fastened, it presses on the mechanical switch allowing the terminal to power on and operate normally. When the battery door is removed, it no longer presses on the mechanical switch, which automatically suspends terminal operation. The terminal will not resume normal operations again until the battery door is re-fastened. The mechanical switch works as described only when the terminal is running on battery power. If the terminal is running on AC power (via Dolphin charging peripheral), the mechanical switch will not suspend the terminal when the battery door is open. If you open the battery door and remove the battery while the terminal is connected to AC power, the terminal will continue operating. However, if you remove AC power while the battery door is open and the battery is removed, the terminal will shut down without suspending and you will lose RAM data. To avoid data loss when removing AC power, always either suspend the terminal or install the battery prior to removing AC power. Mechanical Switch Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 3 - 11 Charging Options When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals to charge the main battery pack:
Dolphin HomeBase Device (see page 9-1)
Dolphin ChargeBase (see page 11-1)
One of the charging cables (see page 12-1) To fully charge the li-ion battery outside the terminal, use one of the following:
Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 10-1)
Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase device Charge Time A completely discharged li-ion battery pack requires four(4) hours to charge to full capacity. Subsequent charge times vary according to the charge level of the battery pack when charging begins. The li-ion battery packs that ship with Dolphin terminals are completely discharged of power. Therefore, charge the main battery pack for a minimum of four(4) hours prior to using the terminal on battery power. Internal Backup Battery Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6V nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. The backup battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according to specifications. Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory are not totally lost, but the terminal does automatically cold boot when you install a fully charged battery pack and you need to reset the real-time clock. Charging The internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires eight(8) hours charge time to backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main battery for four(4) hours; however, the internal backup battery will continue to charge off the main battery. To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply for the first eight(8) hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a charging peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both. Guidelines Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the terminals internal backup battery:
Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the terminal.
Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use. Managing Battery Power Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the Dolphin terminal. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery. Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN trigger does not wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery. 3 - 12 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Default Critical and Low Battery Points Dolphin terminals are programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The following registry entry sets both warning points:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: LowBatt and CriticalBatt. The default values for these entries are as follows:
LowBatt=19 (25%) This sets the Low Battery point to 25% (19 hex=25 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar
. If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN or Power button wont wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a battery charged over 25% mark before you can resume terminal operation. CriticalBatt=a (10%) This sets the Critical Battery point to 10% (a hex= 0 decimal). When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified by this icon in the Navigation bar
. Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power. Setting Critical and Low Battery Points Developers can re-reset the default battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool. 1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit. 2. Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power. The CriticalBatt and LowBatt values appear in the list. 3. Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data. You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would warn whenever the charge drops below 99%). 4. Tap OK to save changes. Note: For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools Users Guide, which is available for download at www.honeywell.com/aidc. Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 3 - 13 Checking Battery Power Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power. For more information, see Power on page 6-12. Storage Guidelines To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 104 F (-20 to 40C) or in extremely high humidity.
For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source. Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeyw ell. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may pose a personal hazard to the user.
Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines.
Dont use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.
Dont short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can explode and cause severe personal injury.
Excessive discharge damages a batte ry. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power. If you observe that the battery is physically damaged in some way, please send it to Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection.
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 or an authorized Honeywell service center for inspection. 3 - 14 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary
Resetting the Terminal There are two ways to reset the Dolphin terminal: a soft reset and a hard reset. Soft Reset (Warm Boot) A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data. You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings. 1. Press and hold the Red
+ ESC keys for approximately five seconds. The screen turns white and the decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds. 2. When the reset is complete, the Today screen appears. Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory and launches Autoinstall, which re-initializes the terminal. 1. Press and hold the Red
+ Tab keys for approximately five seconds. The screen turns white and the decode and scan LEDs light for approximately three seconds. 2. The terminal re-initializes; see Boot the Terminal on page 2-1. Note: Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset before ending on the Today screen. Set the time and date after each hard reset to ensure that the system clock is real-time. Tap the date on the Today screen to open the Clock and set the time and date. Suspend Mode Suspend mode suspends terminal operation. The terminal appears to be off when in suspend mode. The terminal is programmed to go into suspend mode automatically when inactive for a specific period of time. You can set this time period in the Power setting. For details, see the Advanced Tab section of the Power (see page 6-12) setting. To Put the Terminal in Suspend Mode Press the Blue the battery pack; see Installing the Main Battery Pack on page 3-11.

Scan Trigger Using Demos Demos are software utilities loaded on all Dolphin terminals that demonstrate the advanced features of the terminal. Two Demos feature the scan engine: Image Demo and Scan Demo. To access these demos, tap Start > Demos,
Select Image Demo to verify imaging, or
Select Scan Demo to verify decoding. For more information about Demos, refer to the Dolphin Demos Users Guide, which is available for download from www.honeywell.com/aidc. LEDs The LEDs in the center of both keyboards (for location, see LEDs on page 4-1) light when using the scan engine. Scan LED Decode LED The LED on the right lights red when you press the scan trigger in scanning applications. The LED on the left lights green when a scanned bar code is successfully decoded. 5 - 4 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Decoding The Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-area Imaging Full-area imaging means that the Dolphin terminal support omni-directional aiming, which means that a positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see Omni-
Directional Scanning Positions on page 5-4. ALD ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (e.g., PDF417). For the best read, the aiming pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes. To Decode a Bar Code 1. Tap Start > Demos > Scan Demo. 2. Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page 5-5. A range of 410 inches (1025 cm) from the bar code is recommended. 3. Project the aiming pattern by pressing and holding the Scan trigger. The Scan LED lights red. 4. Center the aiming beam over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding; see Omni-Directional Scanning on page 5-6. 5. Release the Scan trigger. 6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps. Sample Bar Codes You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
Sample 128 Sample PDF417 Code 128 PDF417 Test Message Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 5 - 5 Omni-Directional Scanning Dolphin terminals support omni-directional scanning. In general, the aiming pattern or beam is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the bar code and larger when farther from the bar code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the terminal whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the terminal. Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. 5300 High-Vis Aiming Pattern The red high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code. 5100 Green Aiming Beam The green aiming beam projects outward in a straight line across the bar code. Laser Engines (HP, LR, and ALR)Future Option Only Laser engines do not support omni-directional scanning. To achieve a successful scan, the red beam must completely cover the bar code. 5 - 6 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary 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 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. This slight degradation is normal; the captured image has a higher resolution. File Formats The Dolphin terminal is capable of saving images in a number of industry-standard file formats such as BMP, JPG and PNG. The default file format for images is a grayscale JPG. To obtain the highest quality images, take grayscale images. File Size Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and an image definition up to a 256 grayscale. The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take the image. The average size of the image file is approximately 48K. However, the size of the image depends on image content; the more complex the content, the larger the file size. Taking an Image 1. Tap Start > Demos > Image Demo. 2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object. 3. Press the scan trigger to activate the engine. The screen displays a preview of the object. 4. Adjust the Dolphin terminals position until the preview on the screen appears as you want it to appear in the image. 5. Hold the Dolphin terminal still and release the Scan trigger. The screen flashes and the captured image appears on the screen. 6. By default, the image is saved to the My Device folder (Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device). To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As. High-Vis Aiming Pattern If your Dolphin terminal is configured with an 5300 imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Image Demo application. For details about the aiming pattern, see Omni-Directional Scanning on page 5-6. 1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Options menu > Aimer. 2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging. Uploading Images Image files can be transmitted to a host workstation via
Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral, or

Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 6 - 9 Memory Dolphin terminals have two types of memory: volatile and non-volatile. Each type of memory has its own options. Volatile Data stored in volatile memory does not persist through cold boots; see Hard Reset (Cold Boot) on page 3-15. Volatile memory is used for running and storing programs as well as storing program data and is also known as RAM memory. The Dolphin 7850 terminal has 64MB of volatile memory by default. Non-Volatile Data stored in non-volatile Flash memory does persist through cold boots. The Dolphin 7850 terminal can have 64MB or 128MB of non-volatile memory depending in your configuration. IPSM (Internal Persistent Storage Manager) is the on-board Flash memory. Because this memory is non-
volatile, data and programs stored in IPSM are not affected when power is removed or a cold boot launched. For this reason, default programs and files for Dolphin terminals such as Autoinstall are stored in IPSM. Use the Memory system setting to check memory usage after you receive warning messages about memory. There are three tabs: Main, Storage Card, and Running Programs. Main Tab This tab displays current capacity and usage of the 64MB or 128MB of on-board, volatile memory. Field Description Columns Storage: The part of RAM memory used for storing programs and program data. Program: The part of RAM memory used to run programs. Total In use Free Displays the current MB of memory allocated for Storage and Program use. Displays the total MB of that allocated memory being used in Storage and Program memory functions. Displays the total MB of memory available for Storage and Programs use. 6 - 10 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Storage Card Tab This tab displays the current capacity and usage statistics of the selected memory type: IPSM or Storage Card. Select the memory type from the drop-down list. IPSM is selected by default. Field Description Total storage card The total MB of memory capacity of the selected memory. In use Free The MB currently being used. The MB that is still available for use. Drop-down list IPSMWhen IPSM is selected in the drop-down list, the Storage Card tab displays the IPSM memory capacity and usage statistics. Running Programs Tab This tab displays the running software programs using storage memory. Check this tab when you are receiving out of memory errors or when the mobile computer is running slowly. Select a program in the list and tap Stop to stop it from running (and therefore from using memory). Tap Stop All to automatically stop all running programs.
Anytime you stop a running program, it frees up volatile memory. Be advised that, when you stop a program here, any unsaved data in that program is lost. To free up memory without risking data loss, return to the running program, save your data, and close the application.

Adding Programs via Infrared, page 7-9. 7 - 2 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary Using ActiveSync ActiveSync communication happens through the I/O connector on the bottom panel (see I/O Connector on page 3-9) when the terminal is connected to a Dolphin communication peripheral such as the Dolphin HomeBase device or a charge/communication cable. Hardware Requirements
Dolphin HomeBase device or Dolphin communication cable: USB or RS-232
Power Adapter Cable from Honeywell Software Requirements To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate communication. If ActiveSync 4.1 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Getting Started CD that came with the Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and follow the directions on your screen. You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com and install. The host workstation must have Windows 98 Second Edition*, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installed. Note: The HomeBase device does not support Windows NT when using a USB connection because Windows NT does not support USB. *Windows 98 Second Edition provides full USB support. Setting Up the Host Workstation To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for same communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your desktop computer before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time. Verify that ActiveSync on the host workstation has selected the appropriate communication type by opening ActiveSync and clicking File > Connection Settings. For USB communication, check Allow USB connections. For RS-232 communication, connect to COM1. Note: You can have both USB and RS-232 selected in the software without affecting processing.

When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as the charge/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause damage not covered by the warranty. You need to connect the Dolphin peripheral to the host workstation, then connect the Dolphin terminal to the peripheral. ActiveSync should attempt to connect automatically and self-configure to RS-232 or USB. Dolphin terminals default to USB communication. Verify the connection setting on the Dolphin terminal by tapping Start > Programs > ActiveSync > Menu
> Connections. USB The default workstation synchronization value for USB communication is USB Connection. The default workstation synchronization value for RS-232 communication 115200 Default. RS-232 Synchronizing with the Host Workstation After setup, synchronization begins automatically whenever the terminals I/O connector connects to a Dolphin peripheral that is connected to a host workstation with ActiveSync installed. Note: If you have a wireless LAN card, you can also synchronize remotely. Exploring the Terminal from the Workstation When the terminal and desktop computer are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the desktop), and click Explore. The Mobile Device folder opens in Windows Explorer. The Dolphin terminal is now treated as a mass storage device, and transferring files is as simple as dragging and dropping or copying and pasting as you would for moving files between folders on your hard drive. Adding Programs via ActiveSync
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for Windows Mobile 5.0 and your 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 devices must be installed to the host workstation first, then transferred to the Dolphin terminal. 7 - 4 Rev (d): Preliminary 7/15/2008 Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer Users GuidePreliminary 1. Download the program to the workstation from either the Internet or the installation 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 different device types and processors.) 2. Read any installation instructions provided by the program, such as Read Me files or other documentation. Many programs provide special installation instructions. 3. Connect the terminal to the workstation via Dolphin communication peripheral. 4. Confirm that ActiveSync activates. If the Program File is Self-Extracting This type of program installs to the workstation and the terminal simultaneously; one process installs to both devices. 1. On the workstation, double-click the *.exe or *.setup.exe file. The installation wizard begins. 2. Follow the directions on the workstation screen. The installation process includes transferring the software to the terminal via ActiveSync. If the Program File is Not Self-Extracting Some programs cannot be installed on workstations because they are designed exclusively for Windows Mobile devices. In these cases, the appropriate files must be stored on the host workstation and transferred to the terminal via ActiveSync Explore. Note: You know that the program is not an installer because an error message stating that the program is valid but designed for a different type of computer appears when you try to install the program on the workstation. 1. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, open ActiveSync and click Explore. 2. Navigate to the My Windows Mobile-Based Device folder and copy the program file or files to the Program Files folder on the terminal. If you want the program to be part of the Autoinstall that occurs after every hard reset, place the program file in the Autoinstall folder
(\\IPSM\AutoInstall). 3. On the terminal, tap Start > Programs > File Explorer and navigate to the folder where the program is located. 4. Tap on the program file to install it. If you copied the file to the Autoinstall folder, you can also choose to install the program by performing a hard reset. The program installs as part of initialization. 5. After installation is complete, access the program by tapping Start > Programs and the program appears on the Programs screen. Tap the icon to open the program.

HomeBase devices cannot be physically connected to each othersometimes referred to as daisy-
chainingbut can be networked together through serial or USB hubs. Convenient Storage Intelligent battery charging makes the HomeBase device a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal. Capacity The HomeBase device can charge two battery packs: the one thats installed in the terminal seated in the well and the other in the auxiliary battery well on the back panel. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the HomeBase device also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well charges a battery pack independently of the terminal well. Intelligent Battery Charging The HomeBase device completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four(4) hours. In addition to charging, the HomeBase device powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity. As a result, terminals may be stored in the HomeBase device without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals. Power Supply The HomeBase device is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert the voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 7.4 volts DC required by the terminal.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Information This product has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment, if not properly disposed. In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems for product disposal. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of the product you are disposing in a sound way. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol informs you that the product should not be disposed of along with municipal waste and invites you to use the appropriate separate take-back systems for product disposal. If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration. You may also contact your supplier for more information on the environmental performances of this product. Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Electrically Powered Devices Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires devices to operate properly in an EM Field with a strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to 1000MHz. The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the Dolphin is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the Dolphin RF has no effect on medical devices that meet the IEC specification. Microwaves The radio in the Dolphin RF terminal operates on the same frequency band as a microwave oven. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the Dolphin RF terminal you may notice performance degradation in your wireless network. However, both your microwave and your wireless network will continue to function. The Dolphin Batch terminal does not contain a radio, and therefore, is not affected by microwave ovens. 1 - 4 Rev (b) 5/21/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary 2 Getting Started This chapter describes what to do with your Dolphin device when you first receive it.

We expect users to replace the screen protector at regular intervals when the screen protector is becoming worn or punctured. For touch panel input, use the stylus included with the terminal or your finger. The method you choose depends on which one is most appropriate for your application. While there is a great deal of variation in different applications, use of the supplied stylus provides greater touch screen accuracy; see Using the Stylus on page 2-3.
Use of objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens on the touch screen can damage the touch panel and will void the warranty.

Angled Touch Panel The touch panel display (see page 3-3) tilts up toward the user, which helps prevent glare and increases viewability in low-light conditions. Most important, the tilted display helps you read decoded data without having to tilt your wrist up repeatedly. Beeper The beeper sounds during decoding to indicate a good or bad scan. Image Engine Window The image engine reads and decodes most popular bar code symbologies; see Supported Bar Code Symbologies on page 5-2. In addition, the engine captures images like a digital camera. The image engine points straight out the image engine window;
simply point and scan. There are several image engine configurations available; for details on each, see Available Image Engines on page 5-1. Integrated Pistol-Grip Image Engine Window
(with engine) Scan Trigger The pistol-grip handle is integrated into the terminal and is not removable, which makes the unit more durable in the field. The handle is also positioned so that the terminal is balanced in your hand for added comfort when using the unit over long periods of time. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 3 - 5 IrDA Port The infrared port is IrDA-enabled (Infrared Data Association) and communicates with other IrDA-enabled devices such as PCs, printers, modems, or other Dolphin 7850 terminals. The maximum data transfer speed is 115 Kbps with a duty cycle of 18.75%. For more information, see Using Infrared Communication on page 7-8. Scan Trigger The front of the pistol-grip handle contains a scan trigger that activates the image engine. The scan trigger also wakes the terminal from Suspend Mode (see page 3-13). Stylus Slot Fastener Dolphin 7850 terminals ship with a stylus inserted into the pistol-grip handle. Stores the stylus in this slot when youre not using it. For more information about the stylus, see Using the Stylus on page 2-3. This hole through the bottom of the pistol-grip handle is used as a fastener to attach certain hardware accessories to the terminal. Stylus Tether The optional stylus tether is a coiled elastic cord with two ends: one end hooks onto the end of the stylus and the other end loops through this fastener hole. This attaches the stylus to the terminal, which keeps you from losing the stylus if you accidently drop it. Battery Door Tether The battery door tether loops through the stylus fastener hole on one end and loops through the two holes on the back of the battery door on the other end. The tether keeps the battery door attached to the terminal when the battery door is opened or removed from the back panel. 3 - 6 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Rubber Bumpers There are two sets of rubber bumpers: one set below the image engine window and the other set on the bottom front of the pistol-

Note: Signals referenced are for a DTE device. 3 - 8 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Battery Power The Dolphin 7850 features intelligent battery technology with two types of battery power:
The main battery pack installed under the battery door on the back panel.
The backup battery located inside the terminal. Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time. Main Battery Pack
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery. The 7.4V, 14.8 watt hour Li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal and the internal backup battery. The Li-ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50C (14 to 122F). Installing the Main Battery Pack Put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-13) before installing a new battery. Press Blue + Backlight keys.
The battery door contains a mechanical switch under the battery door that automatically suspends terminal operation while open. Because of this switch, the terminal will not resume normal operations until the battery door is closed. Mechanical Switch Charging Options When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals to charge the main battery pack:
Dolphin HomeBase (see page 10-1)
Dolphin ChargeBase (see page 15-1)
One of the Dolphin charging cables (see page 12-1) To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing it in the terminal, use the
Dolphin QuadCharger (see page 11-1)
Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin HomeBase (see page 10-3) Charge Time The Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge to full capacity. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 3 - 9 Internal Backup Battery Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6V nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. The backup battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according to specifications. Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory are not totally lost, but the terminal does automatically cold boot when you install a fully charged battery pack and you need to reset the real-time clock. Charging The internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires eight hours charge time to backup RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the Dolphin terminal after charging the main battery for four hours; however, the internal backup battery will continue to charge off the main battery. To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply for the first eight hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a charging peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both. Guidelines Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphins internal backup battery:
Keep a charged Li-ion battery pack in the Dolphin terminal.
Keep the Dolphin terminal connected to a power source when the terminal is not in use. Managing Battery Power Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the Dolphin. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery. Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN trigger does not wake the Dolphin terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery. Default Low and Critical Battery Points The Dolphin terminal ships with default low and critical battery points programmed in the following registry parameters:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\LowBatt=19]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\CriticalBatt=a]
The Navigation bar at the top of the each screen displays battery warning icons when the main battery reaches the low, then critical battery points. Registry Parameter Description LowBatt CriticalBatt Sets the Low Battery point. The default is 25% (Hexadecimal=19). This is the point at which you are warned by an icon in the Navigation bar that the battery is low. You are notified only once for a low battery. Sets the Critical Battery point. The default is 10% (Hexadecimal=a). This is the point at which the you are warned by an icon in the Navigation bar that the battery is very low. This warning is posted every three minutes until the situation is corrected. Note: Battery power warnings do not appear when the terminal is running on external power. 3 - 10 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Setting Critical and Low Battery Points Developers can re-reset the default battery points in the RegEdit Power Tool. 1. Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit. 2. Drill-down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power. The CriticalBatt and LowBatt values appear in the list. 3. Tap the Value Name to change the Value Data. You can reset the Value Data from 0 (no warning) to 99 (would warn whenever the charge drops below 99%). 4. Tap OK to save changes. Note: For more information about the RegEdit Power Tool, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools Users Guide, which is available for download at www.handheld.com. Checking Battery Power Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power. The Battery tab opens displaying the charge status of the main battery pack. For more information, see Power on page 6-11. Storage Guidelines To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 104 F (-20 to 40C) or in extremely high humidity.
For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source. Guidelines for Battery Use and Disposal The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
Use only the battery supplied, recommended, or approved by Hand Held Products.
Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 3 - 11
Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines.
Dont short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause severe personal injury.
Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power.
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 Hand Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products service center for inspection.

Scan Trigger Using Demos Dolphin Demos are software utilities loaded on all Dolphin terminals that demonstrate the advanced features of the terminal. There are two Demos feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan Demo. To access these demos, tap Start > Demos,
Select Image Demo to verify imaging, or
Select Scan Demo to verify decoding. For more information about Demos, refer to the Dolphin Demos Users Guide, which is available for download from www.handheld.com. LEDs The LEDs in the center of both keyboards (for location, see LEDs on page 4-1) light when using the image engine. Scan LED Decode LED The LED on the right lights red when you press the scan trigger in scanning applications. The LED on the left lights green when a scanned bar code is successfully decoded. Decoding The Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-area Imaging Full-area imaging means that the Dolphin terminal support omni-directional aiming, which means that a positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see Omni-Directional Scanning Positions on page 5-4. ALD ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (e.g., PDF417). For the best read, the aiming pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 5 - 3 To Decode a Bar Code 1. Tap Start > Demos > Scan Demo. 2. Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page 5-4. A range of 410 inches (1025 cm) from the bar code is recommended. 3. Project the aiming pattern by pressing and holding the Scan trigger. The Scan LED lights red. 4. Center the aiming beam over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding; see Omni-Directional Scanning Positions on page 5-4. 5. Release the Scan trigger. 6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps. Sample Bar Codes You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
Sample 128 Sample PDF417 Code 128 PDF417 Test Message Omni-Directional Scanning Positions The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning performance. Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the terminal is held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. Laser Engines Laser engines do not support omni-directional scanning. To achieve an optimal scan, center the red aiming beam across the bar code horizontally as shown. 5 - 4 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary 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 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. This slight degradation is normal; the captured image has a higher resolution. File Formats The Dolphin terminal is capable of saving images in a number of industry-standard file formats such as *.bmp, *.jpg and *.png. The default file format for images is a grayscale *.jpg. To obtain the highest quality images, take grayscale images. File Size Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and an image definition up to a 256 grayscale. The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take the image. The average size of the image file is approximately 48K. However, the size of the image depends on image content; the more complex the content, the larger the file size. Taking an Image 1. Tap Start > Demos > Image Demo. 2. Point the Dolphin 7850 terminal at the object. 3. Press the scan trigger to activate the engine. The screen displays a preview of the object. 4. Adjust the terminals position until the preview on the screen appears as you want it to appear in the image. 5. Hold the terminal still and release the Scan trigger. The screen flashes and the captured image appears on the screen. 6. By default, the image is saved to the My Device folder (Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device). To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As. High-Vis Aiming Pattern If your Dolphin terminal is configured with an 5300 imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in the Image Demo application. For details about the aiming pattern, see Omni-Directional Scanning Positions on page 5-4. 1. Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Options menu > Aimer. 2.

Data stored in volatile memory does not persist through cold boots (see Hard Reset (Cold Boot) on page 3-13) whereas data stored in non-volatile memory does persist through cold boots. Each type of memory has its own options. Volatile Data stored in volatile memory does not persist through cold boots. The Dolphin 7850 terminal has 64MB of volatile memory by default. Volatile memory is used for running and storing programs as well as storing program data and is also known as RAM memory. Non-Volatile Data stored in non-volatile Flash memory does persist through cold boots. The Dolphin 7850 terminal can have 64MB or 128MB of non-volatile memory. IPSM Short for Internal Persistent Storage Manager, IPSM is the on-board Flash memory. Because this memory is non-volatile, data and programs stored in IPSM are not affected when power is removed or a cold boot launched. For this reason, default programs and files for Dolphin terminals such as Autoinstall are stored in IPSM. Secure Digital (SD) Card Hand Held Products offers 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB SD cards that can be installed at the factory. The SD memory interface is not user-accessible or field-replaceable. Use the Memory system setting to check memory usage after you receive warning messages about memory. There are three tabs: Main, Storage Card, and Running Programs. Main Tab This tab displays current capacity and usage of the 64MB or 128MB of on-board, volatile memory. Field Description Columns Storage: The part of RAM memory used for storing programs and program data. Program: The part of RAM memory used to run programs.

Adding Programs via ActiveSync, page 7-4.
Adding Programs From the Internet, page 7-7.
Adding Programs via Infrared, page 7-9. 7 - 2 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Using ActiveSync ActiveSync communication happens through the mechanical connector on the bottom panel (see Mechanical Connector on page 3-8) when the terminal is connected to a Dolphin communication peripheral such as the Dolphin HomeBase or a Dolphin Charge/
Communication cable. Hardware Requirements
Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin communication cable: USB or RS-232
Power Adapter Cable from Hand Held Products Software Requirements To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate communication. If ActiveSync 4.1 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, install it from the Microsoft Companion CD that came with the Dolphin terminal. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the host workstation and click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, and follow the directions on your screen. You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com and install. The host workstation must have Windows 98 Second Edition*, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installed. Note: The HomeBase does not support Windows NT when using a USB connection because Windows NT does not support USB.
*Windows 98 Second Edition provides full USB support. Setting Up the Host Workstation To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for same communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your desktop computer before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time. Verify that ActiveSync on the host workstation has selected the appropriate communication type by opening ActiveSync and clicking File > Connection Settings. For USB communication, check Allow USB connections. For RS-232 communication, connect to COM1. Note: You can have both USB and RS-232 selected in the software without affecting processing. However, your hardware setup should use only RS-232 or USB, not both. Setting Up the Terminal
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin Charge/Communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty. You need to connect the Dolphin peripheral to the host workstation, then connect the Dolphin terminal to the peripheral.

The signal is spread continuously over a wide frequency band at a data rate of up to 11 Mbps. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11g Wi-Fi-compliant products including Access Points (APs), PCs via PC card adapters and other wireless portable devices. Server-Assigned IP Addresses Please note that all server-assigned IP addresses use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Zero-Config Wi-Fi Zero-config Wi-Fi feature of Windows Mobile is disabled on Dolphin terminals. Enabling the 802.11g Radio By default, the 802.11g radio is enabled after each hard reset. To verify that the 802.11g radio is transmitting or to disable the 802.11g, access the Radio Manager (see page 7-13). Configuring the 802.11g Radio The Dolphin 7850 contains the Meetinghouse AEGIS Client, a comprehensive IEEE 802.1X tool to set up the on-board 802.11g radio. The Client is a standards-based implementation of IEEE 802.1X and can be configured to work with almost any network equipmentwired or wirelessthat supports the 802.1X authentication standard. The Client is interoperable with 802.1X-capable wireless APs and authentication servers including Microsoft's IAS and Cisco's ACS. The Client uses public key authentication and encryption between Wireless APs (WAP) and roaming stations to exchange dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys. In addition, network managers can control 802.1X user profiles from a centralized RADIUS server or, in the case of TTLS, from a RADIUS Diameter or other AAA servers. The Client supports both wireless
(802.11a/b/g) and ethernet interfaces. Supported Protocols Authentication The Client supports the following authentication methods according to the 802.1X protocols:
MD5
EAP TLS
EAP TTLS
Cisco LEAP and PEAP
Microsoft PEAP Encryption The Client supports the following encryptions methods:
WEP (64-bit and 128-bit)
TKIP The Client can also configure the 802.11g radio with no authentication and no encryption; see Associating With Open APs on page 8-17. Required Network Configuration Information Because the Client accesses a network that is protected by the IEEE 802.1X protocol, you must configure EAP data communication to match your network server parameters. If the EAP configuration doesnt match your network configuration, you cant access the network. Therefore, make sure you have the correct network server parameters on hand when you configure the client. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 8 - 1 Opening the Client Tap the icon in the command bar. Color Indicators The color of the icon indicates the status of the controlled ports. Icon Color Status Green Authentication succeeded. Yellow Authentication is in process. Red Authentication failed. If the icon is not yellow, red or green, then either the ports are not being controlled by 802.1x, or there is no authentication activity on the controlled ports. The absence of yellow, red or green may also indicate that the network access server is not an 802.1x aware device. Gray Orange Empty The port is not in use or is disabled. Either the Client isnt running, or the port is not bound to the 802.1x protocol. The port is associated, but there is no response to 802.11g packets. If using WEP without 802.1x authentication, this will be the final state when the connection is complete. If using 802.1x authentication, it is either a transient condition or can indicate that attempts to authenticate have timed out as there was no response to 802.1x packets. There is no 802.11g activity. The port may not be connected to an 802.1X-aware entity. If you are setting up the 802.11g radio to run without authentication and without encryption, this icon does not change from the standard blue; see Associating With Open APs on page 8-17. 8 - 2 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Main Window Double-tap the icon in the command bar to open the Client

Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Field Identity Description This is the 802.1X identity supplied to the authenticator. The identity value can be up to 63 ASCII characters and is case-sensitive. For tunneled authentication protocols such as TTLS and PEAP, this identity (called the Phase 1 identity) is sent outside the protection of the encrypted tunnel. Therefore, it is recommended that this field not contain a true identity, but instead the identity anonymous and any desired realm (e.g. anonymous@myrealm.com). For TTLS and PEAP, true user credentials (Phase 2 identity) are entered in the Tunneled authentication section. When used with PEAP and the .NET Enterprise Server Version 5.2, this field must contain the identity used in both Phase I and Phase II. The Phase II identity field is ignored. Password This is the password used for MD5-Challenge or LEAP authentication. It may contain up to 63 ASCII characters and is case-sensitive. Asterisks appear instead of characters for enhanced security. Authentication type Use certificate This is the authentication method to be used - MD5-Challenge, LEAP, PEAP, TLS, or TTLS. Your network administrator should let you know the protocols supported by the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server sits on the network and acts as a central credential repository for Access Servers that receive the radio signals and ultimately block or allow users to attach to the network. This is the certificate to be used during authentication. A certificate is required for TLS, optional for TTLS and PEAP, and unused by MD5 and LEAP. Therefore, this option becomes active only when TLS, TTLS, or PEAP is selected as the Authentication type. If Use certificate is enabled, the client certificate displayed in the field is the one that is passed to the server for verification. To select a client certificate, tap Change and select the certificate from the list that appears. To appear in this list, certificates must be installed in the system; see Certificates on page 8-18. The Issued to column should match the Identity field and the user ID on the authentication server used by the authenticator. Your certificate must be valid with respect to the authentication server. This generally means that the authentication server must accept the issuer of your certificate as a Certificate Authority. When obtaining a client certificate, do not enable strong private key protection. If you enable strong private key protection for a certificate, you will need to enter an access password for the certificate each time this certificate is used. Tunneled authentication area Tunneled authentication parameters are used by only by TLS, TTLS and PEAP protocols, in Phase 2 of authentication, and after the secure tunnel has been established. The fields in this section are active only if the TLS, TTLS, or PEAP is selected as the Authentication type. Identity The user identity used in Phase 2 authentication. The identity specified may contain up to 63 ASCII characters, is case-sensitive and takes the form of a Network Access Identifier, consisting of <name of the user>@<users home realm>. The users home realm is optional and indicates the domain to which the tunneled transaction is to be routed. Because Microsoft .NET Enterprise Server Version 5.2 does not use this parameter for PEAP, This field will have no effect for PEAP at this time. Phase 1 identity is used instead. Password The password used for the tunneled authentication protocol specified. It may contain up to 63 ASCII characters and is case-sensitive. Asterisks appear instead of characters for enhanced security. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 8 - 7 Field Protocol Description This parameter specifies the authentication protocol operating within the secure tunnel.

When you restart the Client, a new log file is created. Server Tab The Server tab controls how the Client authenticates the server that handles the 802.1X protocol on the network side. This applies only to the TLS, TTLS, and PEAP authentication methods and is used to tell the Client what server credentials to accept from the authentication server to verify the server. The Client uses this information to verify that the Client is communicating with a trusted server. Field Description Do not validate server certificate chain If this option is selected, the server certificate received during the TLS/TTLS/PEAP message exchange is not validated.
*Certificate issuer must be
*Allow intermediate certificates This is the certificate authority used during TLS/TTLS/PEAP message exchange. Any Trusted CA is the default selection and means that any certificate authority can be used during authentication. Both trusted intermediate certificate authorities and root authorities whose certificates exist in the system store are available for selection in the drop-down list. This option is selected by default and enables unspecified certificates to be in the server certificate chain between the server certificate and the certificate authority selected in the Certificate issuer must be field. When selected, this option allows the server certificate received during negotiation to be issued directly by the certificate authority or by one of its intermediate certificate authorities. If disabled, then the selected Certificate issuer must have directly issued the server certificate. Server name must be This is either the server name or the domain the server belongs to, depending on which option is selected below the text field. During authentication, this name will be compared to the server certificates Subject: CN field. Must match exactly The server name entered must match the server name found on the certificate exactly. Must contain domain name The server name field identifies a domain and the certificate must have a server name belonging to this domain or to one of its sub-domains (e.g., zeelans.com, where the server is blueberry.zeelans.com).

This network profile associates with any network and is already configured with standard settings. You can modify this setting to match your desired connection. If you are in a location with only one AP (or more than one AP that attaches to the same network), the default profile may be sufficient without requiring the selection of a specific network or networks. If default is last in the list, it can act as a wildcard if the device is out of range of the primary networks (listed first). Do NOT place default at the top or middle of the list if you are connecting to other networks! If default is any place other than last, connection to the other list entries is never attempted. Note: Note that there is nothing special about the name "default". You could configure any other record similarly and it would behave the same way. Up & Down Moves a selected network up or down one place in the list.The order of the networks in this list is the exact order that connections will be attempted.

Tap this button to edit existing wireless network configurations. For details, see Configuring a Network Profile on page 8-13. Protocol Tab The Protocol tab configures parameters that apply to all the networks the selected port connects to. Field Description Protocol Settings These are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1x standard. They determine how long the supplicant state machine will wait in a given state. These parameters shouldnt be modified without an understanding of the supplicant state machine. For more information about the supplicant state machine, obtain its 802.11x protocol specification. The parameters are:
Authentication Timeout=The period of time the Client remains in the authenticating or acquired state without receiving a response from the AP or switch. 30 seconds is the default.
Held Timeout=The period of time the Client remains in the held state after failing authentication. 60 seconds is the default.
Start Timeout=The period of time the Client remains in the connecting state before restarting when there is no response. One second is the default.
Number of Start Attempts=The number of times the Client restarts before giving up. At that point, the Client then defaults to the authenticated state, but there will be no network connectivity because the protocol exchange was never completed. Three is the default. Display EAP notifications Specifies that the EAPOL notification message will be displayed to the user. An authenticator may use such notification to inform you, for example, about a near password expiration. However, some authenticators send chatty and annoying notifications that may, for the convenience of the user, be suppressed. Note that all notifications are written to the event log even if they are not displayed. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 8 - 11 Field Description Renew IP address Initiates a DHCP request to obtain a dynamic IP address after a successful authentication, but only if the client detects that the connected network (the SSID) has changed. The result is that renewal should not occur upon re-authentication, but does occur at boot or when connecting to a different network. If you have a slow authenticator, you may wish to enable this option when configuring the service because a slow authenticator may prevent you from getting a DHCP-assigned IP address upon boot-
up. This option is ignored if the given adapter has a static IP address. 8 - 12 Rev (b) 5/15/2007 Dolphin 7850 Series Users GuidePreliminary Configuring a Network Profile You can configure a network based on an AP in range, create a new network, or modify the default (see page 8-10) network.

Communication RS-232 transmits data at speeds of up to 115 Kbps. With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps. HomeBases cannot be physically connected to each othersometimes referred to as daisy-chainingbut can be networked together through serial or USB hubs. Convenient Storage Intelligent battery charging makes the HomeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal. Capacity The HomeBase can charge two battery packs: the one thats installed in the terminal and the other in the auxiliary battery well on the back panel. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the HomeBase also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well charges a battery pack independently of the terminal well. Intelligent Battery Charging The HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. In addition to charging, the HomeBase powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity. As a result, terminals may be stored in the HomeBase without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals. Power Supply The HomeBase is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert the voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 7.4 volts DC required by the terminal.
Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal. Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products.

The fourth slot features a battery analyzer that completely resets and re-calibrates a battery and displays its resulting capacity. The QuadCharger is compatible with the Li-ion batteries that power Dolphin 7850 terminals. Intelligent Battery Charging Each charging slot works independently of the other three. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage. The charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately show battery status on the Dolphin display.
Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal. Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery. Front Panel Charging Slotswith batteries Charging Slots Charge/Analyze Slot Status LEDs Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs Analyze Button Charge/Analyze LED Charging Slots The QuadCharger contains four charging slots. Each slot holds one battery. When a battery is placed in a slot, it immediately begins charging. Charge/Analyze Slot This is the fourth slot and the only one that can be used to analyze a battery. When a battery is placed in this slot, it begins charging just as it does in the other three slots. However, if you press the ANALYZE button, it runs the battery in this slot through the complete Analyze cycle. For more information, see Using the Battery Analyzer on page 11-4.

The Status LED for each slot turns orange to indicate that the battery has begun a charge cycle. 3. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging. Recommendations for Storing Batteries To maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines:
Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature range of -4 to 104 F (-20 to 40C) or in extremely high humidity.
For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source. Dolphin 7850 Series Users Guide Preliminary Rev (b) 5/15/2007 11 - 3 Using the Battery Analyzer The battery analyzer is the fourth slot of the ChargeBase, labeled CHARGE/ANALYZE. This slot runs an Analyze cycle on the battery placed in it, which helps you monitor battery capacity over time. Analyze Button The Analyze cycle is initiated when a battery is placed in the Charge/Analyze slot and the Analyze button is pressed. In an Analyze cycle, batteries are completely discharged, then recharged to capacity. The battery is completely reset and re-calibrated. The amount of time required for a battery to complete the Analyze cycle depends on initial state of the batterys charge. Minimum time is 8 hours, maximum time is 12 hours. Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs These LEDs display the charge capacity of the battery at the end of the Analyze cycle. Battery capacity is displayed as a percentage of measured capacity/rated capacity where each LED equals 10% battery capacity. At the end of the Analyze cycle, these LEDs display the maximum charge level the battery can now hold. Status LED The Charge/Analyze slot also contains a standard status LED in the upper, left corner of the slot. When this slot is used for regular charging, this LED operates in the usual manner; see Status LEDs on page 11-2. When this slot is being used to analyze a battery, its status LED functions as follows:
