3 Turning the Dolphin On And Off
Turning On the Dolphin
1. Install the charged battery pack in the Dolphin.
2. Hold the Dolphin in the palm of your hand so that you can press the ON/SCAN
key easily with your thumb.
3. Press the ON/SCAN key to turn the Dolphin on. Your Dolphin will boot up just
like a desktop PC and the title screen for the HHP Demo Application will appear
on the display.
If the title screen does not appear on the display of your Dolphin, the HHP Demo
Application has been removed from your terminal. Therefore, you will see a DOS
prompt on the screen. Example: C:\ or A:\ .
Note: If using the Dolphin for first time or if the terminal has been without a battery pack for more
than 30 minutes and you are now inserting a battery, you may receive a CMOS error when the
terminal boots up. Don’t worry, the terminal is OK. This simply means that the internal back-up
battery needs to be recharged and the date and time need to be reset. To recharge the internal backup
battery and reset the date and time, insert a fully charged battery in the Dolphin and then use the DOS
date and time function to set the correct date and time. The internal back-up battery requires a
minimum of 5 hours of charging time in order to perform and maintain the system as described on page
30.
Turning the Dolphin Off
The Dolphin is never actually turned off. To conserve power, the Dolphin goes into
“sleep mode” when it is inactive for a programmed period of time as defined by your
application. The screen is blank when the Dolphin is in “sleep mode.”
4 Setting the Date and Time
Use the DOS date and time function to set the correct date and time for your Dolphin
terminal.
To set the date on an alphanumeric Dolphin:
1. Enter <DATE> at the Dolphin’s DOS prompt.
2. Press NUM LOCK to put the Dolphin in numeric mode.
3. Enter the new date <mm-dd-yy>.
4. Press <ENTER>.
