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 Power button does not wake the Dolphin 6100 terminal; you must first replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery or apply A/C power to the terminal.

Checking Battery Power

Power icons appear in the title bar at the top of the window. Tap on the battery icon to open the Power

Properties or select > Settings > System > Power. The Battery screen opens displaying the charge status of both the main and backup batteries.

Storage Guidelines

To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:

•Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 140° F (-20 to 40°C) or in extremely high humidity.

•For prolonged storage, it is recommended that the battery be at a 40% - 50% charge level, be removed from the device, and stored in a controlled temperature environment. Following these recommendations will maximize battery life.

Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal

The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:

•We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may pose a personal hazard to the user.

•Ensure all components are dry prior to mating batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

•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 use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.

•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.
