For touch screen input, use the stylus included with the terminal or your finger. The method you choose depends on which one is most appropriate for your application. While there is a great deal of variation in different applications, you generally achieve greater accuracy with the stylus for buttons or icons that are close together.

!Use of objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens on the touch screen can damage the input panel and may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Using Screen Protectors

Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display as using a screen protector and proper stylus. Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is why their use is recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface with the touch panel.

Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin terminals. We recommend implementing a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen protectors are replaced periodically when signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we recommend replacing the screen protector every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary according to the average level of touch panel use in your application.

Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Contact a Honeywell sales representative for details.

Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than 0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.

Honeywell’s warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first 12 months provided that a screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12-month duration covered by the warranty.
