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.
