Step 1: Install the 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.
Step 2: Charge the Batteries
The power supply consists of two types of battery power: the
main battery pack installed in the back panel and the backup
battery located inside the terminal.
The main battery powers the terminal and charges the internal
backup battery. The internal backup battery maintains the
data stored in RAM memory and keeps the system clock
running for up to 30 minutes when the main battery is
completely discharged or removed.
Terminals are shipped with both batteries completely
discharged. Charge the main battery pack for a minimum
of 4.5 hours before initial use in the terminal!
Connect the terminal to a Dolphin 9900 powered charging
peripheral - see page 5.
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.

Step 3: Boot the Terminal
The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied and runs by itself. Do
NOT press any keys or interrupt the boot process. Only tap the screen when
prompted.
When the boot process is complete, the Today screen appears and the terminal
is ready for use.
Note: Because the Today screen appears a number of times during the boot
process, wait a few seconds before tapping anything on the Today
screen.
Resetting the Terminal
Peripherals and Accessories
Soft Reset: On the 56-key keyboard, press and hold the CTRL + SFT
keys for approximately five seconds.
On the 43-key keyboard, press and hold the CTRL + NUM
keys for approximately five seconds.
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without erasing RAM data.
Hard Reset: Press and hold the CTRL + ESC keys for approximately 5
seconds.
A hard reset erases all data and applications stored in RAM
memory and re-initializes the terminal.

Limited Warranty
Honeywell International Inc. ("HII") warrants its products and
optional accessories to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship and to conform to HII’s published specifications
applicable to the products purchased at the time of shipment.
This warranty does not cover any HII product which is (i)
improperly installed or used; (ii) damaged by accident or
negligence, including failure to follow the proper maintenance,
service, and cleaning schedule; or (iii) damaged as a result of (A)
modification or alteration by the purchaser or other party, (B)
excessive voltage or current supplied to or drawn from the
interface connections, (C) static electricity or electro-static
discharge, (D) operation under conditions beyond the specified
operating parameters, or (E) repair or service of the product by
anyone other than HII or its authorized representatives.
This warranty shall extend from the time of shipment for the
duration published by HII for the product at the time of purchase
("Warranty Period"). Any defective product must be returned (at
purchaser’s expense) during the Warranty Period to HII factory or
authorized service center for inspection. No product will be
accepted by HII without a Return Materials Authorization, which
may be obtained by contacting HII. In the event that the product
is returned to HII or its authorized service center within the
Warranty Period and HII determines to its satisfaction that the
product is defective due to defects in materials or workmanship,
HII, at its sole option, will either repair or replace the product
without charge, except for return shipping to HII.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU
OF ALL OTHER COVENANTS OR WARRANTIES, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
HII’S RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT
WITH NEW OR REFURBISHED PARTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL
HII BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL
ANY LIABILITY OF HII ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY

9
PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER (WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY
ARISES FROM A CLAIM BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY,
TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT
PAID TO HII FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON
LIABILITY SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT
EVEN WHEN HII MAY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURIES, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES.
SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
All provisions of this Limited Warranty are separate and
severable, which means that if any provision is held invalid and
unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity of
enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Use of any
peripherals not provided by the manufacturer may result in
damage not covered by this warranty. This includes but is not
limited to: cables, power supplies, cradles, and docking stations.
HII extends these warranties only to the first end-users of the
products. These warranties are non-transferable.
The limited duration of the warranty for the Dolphin 9900, 9950, and 9951 is as
follows:
• The duration of the limited warranty for terminals with an integrated imager is
two years.
• The duration of the limited warranty for touch screens is one year provided
that a screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12-
month duration covered by the warranty.
• The duration of the limited warranty for the HomeBase device, QuadCharger
device, Mobile Base device, Mobile Charger, Net Base, and ChargeBase is
one year.
• The duration of the limited warranty for batteries is one year.
Use of any battery from a source other than Honeywell may result in damage
not covered by the warranty. Batteries returned to Honeywell International
Inc. in a reduced state may or may not be replaced under this warranty.
Battery life will be greatly increased when following the battery instructions in
the Dolphin 9000 Mobile Computer User’s Guide.
