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.
Batteries
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• Use only the battery supplied with your Dolphin or a replacement battery supplied, recommended, or approved by HHP.
• Replace a defective battery 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.
• Don’t 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 Dolphin indicates low battery power.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the recommended usage
period (about 600 charge cycles for the 2700 mAh NiMH battery) or if 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 HHP
service center, for inspection.
The Dolphin hand held computer meets or exceeds all applicable standards and has been manufactured to the highest level of
quality.
Care and Cleaning of the Dolphin
When needed, clean the image engine/laser scanner window and the LCD display with a clean non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
