336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and the 73/23/EEC Low Voltage Directive. Dolphin 9500/9550 RF 802.11b and/or Bluetooth R&TTE Compliance Statement The HHP Dolphin 9500RF and Dolphin 9550RF are in conformity with all essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive (1999/
5/EC). This equipment has been assessed to the following standards:
Parameter R&TTE Specification EN 300 328-2:2000 EN 301 489-1 (August 2000) EN 301 489-17 (Sept. 2000) EN 60950: 1992 Incl Amdt 1-4,11 EN 50361: 2001 in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the R&TTE This product is marked with Directive, 1999/5/EC. The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. Its authorization for use in France is restricted as follows:
PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402 - 2.480 GHz Restricted Frequency Range for use in France: 2.448 - 2.480 GHz 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 will have 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.

Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 3 - 9 Batteries The Dolphin 9500/9550 features intelligent battery technology. It is comprised of two types of battery power: the backup battery that resides inside the terminal and the battery pack inserted into the back panel of the terminal. They are designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods. Both must be completely charged before using the Dolphin 9500/9550 for the first time. Internal Backup Battery Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a3.6 Volt nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The internal backup battery is not user- replaceable. Purpose The Dolphins internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to remove and replace the main battery pack. It retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes when the main battery pack is removed. Charging To function properly, the internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. The initial charge cycle takes approximately eight hours. After that, if the internal backup battery becomes fully discharged of power, it will require a minimum of 10 hours of charging time to function normally. When not connected to an external power source such as the Dolphin HomeBase, the internal backup battery is charged by the main battery pack. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery will need to be recharged. Note Data and programs stored in FLASH is not lost even if the internal backup battery fails. However, you must reset the real-
time clock using the Pocket PC Time and Date function. Guidelines Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the Dolphins backup battery:
Keep a charged Li-Ion battery pack in the Dolphin. The internal battery will prematurely discharge if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal.
Put the Dolphin in the HomeBase connected to power when the terminal is not in use. Main Battery Pack CAUTION! Use only the 7.4V Li-ion battery packs provided by HHP. The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin 9500/
9550 terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery. The 7.4V, 14.8 watt hour Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin. For the location of the Li-
Ion battery on the terminal, see Battery/Battery Well on page 3-5. The Li-Ion battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50C (14 to 122F). They can be stored between -30 to 80C (-22 to 176F). 3 - 10 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide Managing Battery Power Data and files saved on the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal may be stored in RAM, so it is important to maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal. When the main battery pack becomes low, the Low Battery Charge icon will appear in the notification tray at the top of the screen. The Critical icon will appear when the battery is critically low. There is also a Low Battery icon that will appear when the backup battery is low. Letting the backup battery become fully discharged will cause the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Therefore, you should keep a charged battery pack in the Dolphin at all times to conserve the internal backup battery. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged pack in the Dolphin. The internal battery will prematurely discharge if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. The battery status indicator displays in the notification tray when the battery is low or critically low. If there is no indicator, the battery is adequately charged. If the main battery is low and the terminal is in suspend mode, pressing the SCAN or Power button will not wake up the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery. Setting Critical and Low Battery Points The Dolphin 9500/9550 may be programmed to display warnings when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. There are two entries defined in the registry. The specific settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
CriticalBatt=dword:a LowBatt=dword:19 CriticalBatt=dword:a This sets the Critical Battery point to 10 percent (a hex = 10 decimal). The critical battery is the point at which the customer is warned that the battery charge is very low. This warning will be posted every 3 minutes until the situation is corrected. LowBatt=dword:19 This sets the Low battery point to 25 percent (19 hex = 25 decimal). The low battery setting is the point at which the user is alerted that the battery is low. The user is notified only once for a low battery. These are the default values. Developers can set these parameters from 0 (no warning at all) to 99 (would nearly always warn). The warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power. Checking Battery Power The Battery Status screen displays information about current battery status and allows you to set options that can conserve battery power. To open the Battery Status screen:
1 Select Start>Settings>System>Power. 2 Select your preferences. 3 Tap OK to save the changes and exit. Charging the Battery Pack You can charge the Dolphins main battery pack with one of the following methods:
Place the battery pack in the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal and then place the terminal in the terminal well of the HomeBase or Mobile Base.
Connect a charging/communication cable to the 17-pin connector and plug the cable into a power outlet.
Place the battery pack in the Dolphin QuadCharger.
Place the battery back in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the HomeBase. Storing Batteries To maintain optimal performance from batteries, follow these guidelines below when storing them:
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. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 3 - 11 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 HHP.
Replace a defective batteries immediately as it 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 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 HHP or an authorized HHP service center, for inspection. 3 - 12 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide Dolphin 9500/9550 Technical Specifications System Architecture Processor:

Use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize or copy information from your desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer. Touch screen HHP recommends using screen protectors to protect the touch screen; especially when used with applications that require high-
volume interfacing with the touch screen. Screen protectors help prevent damage to the touch screen display and are easily installed. Screen protectors can be purchased at any major computer retail store or directly from HHP. For touch screen input, use the included stylus or your finger. Which method you choose depends on which one is best for your application. While there is a great deal of variation in different applications, for buttons or icons that are close together, you will generally achieve greater accuracy with the stylus. CAUTION! Use of other objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens can damage the input panel and will void the warranty. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 4 - 1 Imaging Dolphin 9500/9550 terminals are equipped an image reader that reads 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR characters and can capture images, such as signatures and gray scale pictures. The imager features a green aiming beam that is used to aim the image reader against the bar code or item being read. 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. When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive read can be obtained from most any position. To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. ALD ALD provides fast reading of linear and stacked linear bar codes. To achieve a positive read when reading linear 1D and PDF417 bar codes, the imagers aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes. Decoding a bar code - aiming the beam 1 Point the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal directly at the bar code. The imager faces straight out. 2 Press the SCAN key on the Dolphin 9500/9550 to project the imagers green aiming beam. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve the quickest read. A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) is recommended. 3 Center the aiming beam over the bar code. The red Scan LED illuminates when the user presses the SCAN key, and the green Decode LED illuminates when a bar code is successfully decoded and the terminal beeps. Decode LED Scan LED DOLPHIN 9500 Note: On the Dolphin 9550, you can use the Scan Trigger instead of the SCAN key. For more information, see Scan Trigger on page 3-6. 4 - 2 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide Refer to the following chart for beam angle information Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol The aiming beam is 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. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 4 - 3 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 Dolphin 9500/9550 displays a preview of the image on the touch screen. This is a live video image of what the imager is currently viewing. This enables you to improve your aim and verify the image before you take it. The live video preview has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal. The Scan key The Scan key captures images on both the Dolphin 9500 and the Dolphin 9550 terminals. It is the only way to capture an image on the 9500, while on the 9550, you can also use the scan trigger on the pistol-grip handle. Image quality and file size The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by your software application. When first captured, the image is saved in the JPEG file format. The average size will be approximately 4-8K. However, the size of each JPEG depends on the content of each imagethe more complex the content, the larger the file size. For the highest quality (and often the smallest file size), take grayscale images. To capture images on the Dolphin 9500 Complete these basic steps:
1 To aim, point the display end of the Dolphin 9500 straight on the target. 2 Press the SCAN key to preview the image. A live video image appears on the terminal screen. Use it as a guide while you position and aim the terminal. You may find it helpful to start by moving the terminal away from and then closer to the target. 3 When the desired image is displayed on the terminal screen, release the SCAN key to capture the image. For best results hold the Dolphin terminal as still as possible when you release the SCAN key. To capture images on the Dolphin 9550 Complete these basic steps:
1 Holding the pistol-grip handle in either hand, point the display end of the 9550 directly at the target. 2 Press and hold the Scan Trigger to preview the image. A live video image appears on the terminal screen. Use it as a guide while you position and aim the terminal. You may find it helpful to start by moving the terminal away from and then closer to the target. 3 When the desired image is displayed on the terminal screen, release the Scan Trigger to capture the image. For best results hold the Dolphin terminal as still as possible when you release the SCAN key. Note: As noted above, you can also use the SCAN key as directed for the Dolphin 9500. 4 - 4 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide Using the Keyboard The Dolphin 9500/9550 has three keyboard configurations; see Three Keyboard Options on page 3-3.

It provides a data rate of up to 11 MB per second. In addition, the open software architecture make the Dolphin 9500/9550 a complete solution for a variety of wireless mobile data collection applications. Dolphin 9500/9550 is interoperable with other 802.11b WiFi-compliant products including access points, printers, PCs via PC-
card adapters and other wireless portable terminals. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 5 - 1 Choosing a Radio - the Radio Manager Purpose The Radio Manager is a control panel applet in the system through which the radio power driver controls the radio state. It enables you to choose which radios in the terminal are powered up. When powered up, the radio is transmitting, when powered down, the radio is not transmitting. SIngle radio configuration If your terminal contains a single radio and its associated driver is installed, the radio operates by itself without any special configuration made to the device. You can use the Radio Manger to power it down. Potential radios There is a potential for three radios to be installed in the device:
Bluetooth, 802.11b, and
GSM/GPRS. Multiple radio configuration If multiple radios are installed in your terminal, simultaneous operation must be configured on the device before the radio power driver allows it. Configuration of simultaneous radio operation is done during the manufacturing process according to FCC regulations. Multiple radio operation GSM and 802.11b are mutually exclusive. While they may both be present, they cannot be allowed to operate simultaneously. The Bluetooth radio is allowed to operate by itself or simultaneously with either of the GSM or 802.11b radios. Accessing the Radio Manager Go the Start > Settings > System tab > Radio Manager. The Radio Manager appears identifying which radio modes are allowed in the Radio Modes box. The highlighted entry is the radio mode that is currently enabled; its Status should be Ready. 5 - 2 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide The Radio Modes box The Radio Modes box displays the radios currently installed on your terminal. For example, if a working Bluetooth module is installed, the box contains the line BlueTooth Only whether or not that radio is currently powered up. (There may be other Bluetooth related list box entries, but the BlueTooth Only entry is guaranteed to be there if the module is present.) Powering up a radio Simply select an entry in the Radio Modes box and click Apply. The Radio Manager issues the radio power driver commands of enabling and disabling the radios in the proper sequence. For example, lets say the current mode is BlueTooth Only and the attempt is made to switch to 802.11b Only. After Apply is clicked, the Radio Manager turns off the Bluetooth radio first, then turns on the 802.11b radio. If an error occurs at either step, the radio mode change is abandoned, and the resulting radio state returns to what is was at the time the error occurred. Requirements To successfully power up a radio, its associated driver CAB must have been installed along with the module. If the module is present, the radio appears in the Radio Modes box; however if the associated CAB for that module is not installed, you cannot successfully enable the radio. For instance, if the Bluetooth module is present but its CAB has not been installed, BlueTooth Only selection still appears in the Radio Mode box. However, attempting to power it up will result in an error in the Status field. The Status field The Status field displays error messages when a radio cannot be enabled. When is reads Ready the radio selected in the Radio Modes box is powered up.

Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network. Synchronizing E-mail Messages E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. During synchronization:
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop computer in order to be transferred. Note: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information, see Chapter 7. Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server. When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device Inbox folder. Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync. You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your device. When working offline, once youve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages youve marked for retrieval and sends the messages youve composed. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 7 - 13 Using the Message List Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list. Select the service and folder you want to display. Select the sort order for messages. Tap to open a message.

Viewing A Message When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, by default, youll receive messages from the last five days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer. You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status. You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:

If you are sending an SMS message and want to know if it was received, tap Edit, Options, and select Request SMS text message delivery notification before sending the message. 7 - 16 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide Managing E-mail Messages and Folders By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the Message tab, select your options. If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu. Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer. If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder. If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device. If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 7 - 17 7 - 18 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 8 Synchronizing Your Dolphin 9500/9550 Terminal Overview Using Microsoft ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher, you can synchronize information on your desktop computer with your device and vice versa. Synchronization compares the data on your Dolphin mobile computer with your desktop computer and updates both with the most recent data. For example, you can:
Update the information in Pocket Outlook on your device by synchronizing it with Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format. Capabilities With ActiveSync, you can also:
Back up and restore your device data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.\
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select) identical on both your desktop computer and your device. Requirements To synchronize, ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher must be on both your desktop computer and your device. ActiveSync 3.7 is already installed on your device. Therefore, you must install ActiveSync 3.7 on your desktop computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, insert the Pocket PC Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer. Click the yellow arrow, click Start Here, then follow the directions on your screen. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 8 - 1 Setting up your desktop computer When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your desktop computer, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you

Synchronizing from your desktop computer Because ActiveSync is already installed on your device, your first synchronization process begins automatically when you finish setting up your desktop computer in the wizard. After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your device. Notice that the same information from Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer is now on your device, and you didnt have to type a word. Simply disconnect your device from your computer and youre ready to go!
For more information about using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help.

PACITY TTERY LOT 4 4 3 2 1 S w c Power Switch Power Supply Connector Battery Analyzer This is Charge/Analyze slot from the rear view. Power Switch Press the toggle switch to turn the QuadCharger on and off. Power Supply Connector Use this connector to attach the power supply to the QuadCharger. The universal power supply accepts input voltages between 90-265 volts. Supplying power to the QuadCharger The charger must be connected to a power source for any type of operation. CAUTION!
Using a non-HHP power cord voids your warranty and could result in serious damage to the Dolphin QuadChargers circuitry. Complete these steps:
1 Locate the AC power cord that came with the Dolphin QuadCharger. 2 Plug the cord into the power supply connector on the back of the unit and then plug the power cord into a wall socket. 3 Press the power switch. The Green power LED illuminates and the charger performs a self-diagnostic test that lasts approximately five seconds. Inserting and removing battery packs Inserting To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Status LED for that particular slot illuminates orange when the battery has been properly inserted. Removing To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery out from the charging slot with a hinging motion. Storing Batteries Recommendations To maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines:
Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 13 - 3
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. 13 - 4 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide Charging batteries in the QuadCharger CAUTION! Do not attempt to recharge any battery pack in the Dolphin 9500/9550 QuadCharger that is not manufactured by HHP specifically for this device. To do so will void your warranty and could damage the Dolphin 9500/9550 QuadCharger. Recommendation For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before recharging them; temperature has a marked effect on charging. The recommended temperature range is 50 to 95 F (10 to 35 C). Complete these steps:
1 Set up the QuadCharger. 2 Supply the QuadCharger with power and turn the power switch on. 3 Insert batteries into the appropriate slots. The Status LED for each slot turns orange to indicate that the battery has begun a charge cycle. 4 When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging. Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide 13 - 5 Using the Battery Analyzer Location The fourth slot of the QuadCharger is known as the Charge/Analyze slot because it contains a battery analyzer. When a battery is placed in this slot and the Analyze button is pressed, it runs the battery through the Analyze cycle. Note: The fourth slot is the only one that contains an analyzer. Analyze cycle The Analyze cycle is initiated when a battery is placed in the Charge/Analyze slot and the Analyze button is pressed. At that time, only the battery in the Charge/Analyze slot is analyzed. In an Analyze cycle, batteries are completely discharged and then recharged to capacity. The indicator LEDs display just what that capacity is at the end of the cycle. The battery is completely reset and re-calibrated. Resetting and calibrating batteries on a regular basis can provide longer and more consistent performance from those batteries. The length of time it takes for a battery to run through the complete Analyze cycle varies depends on initial state of the battery. Minimum time is 8 hours, maximum time is 12 hours. Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs The Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs are located along the right side of the Charge/Analyze slot. These LEDs illuminate after the completion of the Analyze cycle. Upon the completion of the final charge, these LEDs display the measured capacity of the battery. Battery capacity is displayed as a percentage of measured capacity/rated capacity. Each LED equates to 10% battery capacity. Status LED The Charge/Analyze slot also contains a 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 13-2. When this slot is being used to analyze a battery, the Status LED functions as the following table describes:
Status LED color This color indicates that the battery in the slot Solid Green Has completed the Analyze cycle. Flashing Orange Is being analyzed. Solid Red Encountered an error during the Analyze cycle. To analyze a battery Complete these steps:
1 Insert the battery into the Charge/Analyze slot (the fourth). 2 Press the Analyze button. The Status LED flashes orange to indicate that the analyzing cycle has begun. 3 Upon completion, the Status LED is solid green and the Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs display the current battery capacity. CAUTION! Because the Dolphin QuadCharger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire Analyze cycle, it is important not to remove the battery until the cycle has been completed. 13 - 6 Dolphin 9500/9550 Mobile Computer Users Guide
