Dolphin 9500 Terminal GSM R&TTE Compliance Statement
Note: Dolphin 9550, Dolphin 9501, and Dolphin 9551 terminals do not support GSM radios.
The Hand Held Products Dolphin 9500RF 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:
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.
Care and Cleaning of Dolphin 9500 Series Terminals
When needed, clean the image engine window and the LCD display with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. The terminal can
be cleaned with a damp cloth.
