Main Battery Pack

! We recommend use of Honeywell Li- Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

The Dolphin 6500 has a Li-Ion 3.7V/3300 mAh/12.2 Wh battery pack.

The Li-Ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as the internal backup battery.

Changing the Main Battery Pack

Before installing a battery pack, press the Power button on the 28-key Dolphin 6500 or press the Blue then Z (Power) keys on the 52-key Dolphin 6500 to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-16)so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. The Dolphin 6500 is shipped with the battery separate from the unit. You will need to loosen the hand strap, remove the battery door, insert the battery, and replace the battery door. Refer to the instructions included in Installing the Main Battery section (page 2-1).
