Hand Held Products Dolphin 7200 Turning the Dolphin Off, To Set the Date on a Numeric Terminal

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."

Step 4. Setting the Date and Time

Use the DOS date and time function to set the correct date and time for your Dolphin terminal.
