Managing Main 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 button does not wake the Dolphin
terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.
Checking Battery Power
Power icons appear in the command bar at the bottom of the window. For example,
indicates a low battery. Double-tap on
this icon at any time to open the Power system setting. The Battery tab opens displaying the charge status of both the main and
backup batteries.
Note: To manually check battery power, also tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > double-tap Power

Storage Guidelines
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
•
Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 122° F (-20 to 50°C) 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.
•
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 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.
