Hand Held Products Dolphin 7450 Setting Critical and Low Battery Points, CriticalBatt=dworda

Page 35

If the main battery is low and the terminal is in sleep mode, pressing the ON/SCAN button or the scan trigger will not wake up the Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal; you must replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery.

Setting Critical and Low Battery Points

The Dolphin 7400/7450 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.

Using the Power Control Panel

The Power control panel displays information about current battery status and allows you to set options that can conserve battery power.

There is also a battery usage indicator displayed. This indicator represents the total cumulative time that the current main battery pack has been in use. If the main battery is replaced with a new battery pack, the indicator will reset to 0:00. Each battery is uniquely identified with a serial number that the Dolphin terminal uses to track cumulative time. Also, if the terminal is placed in a HomeBase and is running on external power, the indicator will cease counting. When the terminal is removed from the HomeBase, the timer will resume.
