18-1. • If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. • Excessive discharge can degrade battery performance. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery power.
The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal backup battery is fully charged.
There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: MedState and LowState. The default values for these entries are as follows: MedState=25% This sets the Low Battery point to 25%. When the battery hits the percentage charge specified here, the user is notified. LowState=10% This sets the Critical Battery point to 10%.
Installing a Memory Card Honeywell recommends the use of Single Level Cell (SLC) industrial grade microSD or microSDHC memory cards with Dolphin terminals for Step 5 maximum performance and durability. Contact a Honeywell sales repre- sentative for additional information on qualified memory card options.
Using the Scan Image Engine Overview The Dolphin terminal houses a compact image engine that instantly reads popular 1D and 2D bar codes and supports omni-directional aiming and decoding for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture black and white digital images, such as signatures and pictures of dam- aged inventory.
Depth of Field The depth of field measurements used the following parameters: • Distances are measured from the front of the engine. • +23°C (+73°F), 0 lux • Photographic quality codes Focus N5603/N5600 N5603/N5600 N5603/N5600 High Density (HD) Standard Range (SR) Extended Range (ER) Symbology Distance (in/cm)
Decoding The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-Area Imaging Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking.
Aiming Options The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
Capturing Images The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt it to different application environments. Image Preview When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object.
Note: Visit the Microsoft Windows Vista Web site for information on how to sync your music, pictures, contacts and calendars using Windows Mobile Device Center. We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Using the Color Camera Overview Dolphin 99EX terminals equipped with a 3.1-Megapixels Resolution color camera with Automated Cam- era Control (ACC), and an Application Programming Interface (API) provide easy integration of color pic- ture and video capture into business applications.
