FCC Compliance
Dolphin mobile computers meet or exceed all applicable standards and have been manufactured to the highest level of quality.
Dolphin 7600 Batch Terminal
Dolphin 7600 Batch terminals comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Dolphin 7600 RF Terminal with an 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth Radio
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user
may find the following booklet helpful: “Something About Interference.” This is available at FCC local regional offices. Our
company is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the
substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by our company. The correction is the
responsibility of the user. Use only shielded data cables with this system.
In accordance with FCC 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines for body-worn operation, do not use
accessories that contain metallic components.

RF, Regulatory, and Safety Agency Approvals for 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth
Dolphin 7600 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth R&TTE Compliance Statement
Dolphin 7600 RF terminals are in conformity with all essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC). This equipment
has been assessed to the following standards as applicable:
This product is marked with in accordance with the Class II product requirements specified in the R&TTE
Directive, 1999/5/EC.
The equipment is intended for use throughout the European Community. Its authorization for use in France is restricted as
follows:
PAN European Frequency Range: 2.402 - 2.480 GHz
Restrictions in France are as follows:
• Indoor use - Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the entire 2400-2483.5 MHz
• Outdoor use - Maximum power (EIRP*) of 100 mW for the 2400-2454 MHz band and maximum power (EIRP*) of 10 mW for
the 2454-2483 MHz band
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Electrically Powered Devices
Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires devices to operate properly
in an EM Field with a strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to 1000MHz.
The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the Dolphin is 0.3V/m according to Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules.
Therefore, the Dolphin RF has no effect on medical devices that meet the IEC specification.
Microwaves
The radio in the Dolphin RF terminal operates on the same frequency band as a microwave oven. Therefore, if you use a
microwave within range of the Dolphin RF terminal you may notice performance degradation in your wireless network. However,
both your microwave and your wireless network will continue to function.
The Dolphin Batch terminal does not contain a radio, and therefore, is not affected by microwave ovens.
Canadian Compliance for Dolphin 7600 Terminals with an 802.11b/g and/or Bluetooth
Radio
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
