Storing Batteries

To maintain top performance from batteries, avoid storing batteries outside of the following temperature ranges:

14°F to 113°F (-10°C to +45°C) for short term storage of less than one month

32°F to 86°F (-0°C to +30°C) for long term storage

Do not store batteries 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 Pack Use and Disposal

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

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

Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.

Never throw a used battery in the trash. A battery contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to local guidelines.

Do not use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.

Do not 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.

If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged, please send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to the Product Service and Repair section of this guide.

Although your battery can be recharged many times, the battery life is limited. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.

If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International or an authorized service center for inspection.

Internal Backup Battery

Located inside the terminal is a 3.6 Volt nickel metal hydride (NiMH) backup battery. The backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to replace the main battery pack. It retains RAM data during the battery pack exchange. A fully charged backup battery provides 30 minutes of backup time.

Note: When removing a battery from the terminal, put the device in Suspend Mode (see page 2-10)before removing the battery door. Once the battery door is removed, wait at least 3 seconds before removing the main battery. This process allows the device to shut down properly and maintains memory during the battery swap.
