Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack
that is accessible from the back panel, and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.
The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and
maintains the application data stored in RAM memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main bat-
tery pack is completely discharged or removed.
Before Initial Use
Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. The initial charging time for the main
battery pack is 4 hours, and 8 hours for the internal backup battery. Connect the terminal to one of the
9700 series charging peripherals to charge; see
WLAN, WPAN, WWAN with GPS & Camera on page 3-
1.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-
Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Charging Using the Communication Cable
1. Connect the USB or RS232 cable to the I/O
connector on the terminal.
2. Tighten the thumb screws on the cable cup to
secure the cable to the terminal.
3. Plug the power cord into the power adapter.
4. Plug the power adapter cable into the power
connector on COMM cable.
5. Plug the COMM cable into the appropriate port
on the host device.
6. Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet.
7. The LED on the front of the terminal flashes
and illuminates as the terminal starts to
initialize the boot process.
Step 3. Boot the Terminal
The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied. Do NOT press any keys or interrupt the boot
process. When the boot process is complete, the Today screen appears, and the terminal is ready for
use.
Note: The Today screen appears several times during the boot process. To ensure the boot process is
complete, wait several seconds before using the device.
