Keypad
28-key numeric keypad (alpha shifted) and 52-key full alphanumeric keypads are available.
Microphone
The integrated microphone can be used for audio recording.
Touch Screen Display
The display is a 3.5” transmissive active matrix, 65k color LCD display with a backlight, QVGA
(240 x 320 resolution); see Display Backlight on page 3-3. The touch panel is a 4-wire analog
resistive touch.
Dolphin 6510s ship with a screen protector already installed over the touch screen lens
to help prevent damage to the touch screen. Do NOT remove this screen protector before
initial use. Honeywell recommends using screen protectors, especially for applications
that require high volume interfacing with the touch screen. For more information, see
Using Screen Protectors on page 3-3. You can purchase additional screen protectors by
contacting your Honeywell sales representative.
For touch screen input, use the stylus included with the terminal or your finger. The
method you choose depends on which one is most appropriate for your application.
While there is a great deal of variation in different applications, you generally achieve
greater accuracy with the stylus for buttons or icons that are close together.
Use of objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens on the touch screen can damage
the input panel and may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

3-3
Display Backlight
The intensity of the backlight of the touch screen display may be changed, and the backlight may be
programmed to turn off after the terminal has been idle for a specified period of time.
To adjust the intensity of the backlight while on battery power, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel >
double tap Backlight .
Screen Backlight - Battery/External Power
Move the slider to adjust the screen backlight while on battery power.
You may turn the screen backlight off if the device is not used for a
designated period of time by checking the option and designating the
desired time period.
You may also turn on the screen backlight when a button is pressed or the
screen is tapped by selecting the appropriate checkbox.
Note: Using the backlight option while on battery power substantially reduces
battery life.
You may make the same changes when on external power by tapping the
External tab.
Keyboard Backlight
To turn on the keypad backlight, check the checkbox.
The duration of backlight of keypad synchronizes with L D backlight’s.
Using Screen Protectors
Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display as using a
screen protector and proper stylus. Screen protectors maintain the ongoing
integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is why their use is
recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface
with the touch panel.
Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin
terminals. We recommend implementing a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen
protectors are replaced periodically when signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we
recommend replacing the screen protector every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary
according to the average level of touch panel use in your application.

3-4
Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Contact a Honeywell sales
representative for details.
Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than
0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Honeywell’s warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first 12 months provided that a screen
protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12-month duration covered by the warranty.
Removing the Screen Protector
Dolphin 6510s ship with a touch screen protector already installed. To replace the screen protector, you
must remove the one already installed.
1. Press the red Power button to suspend the 28-key unit or press the Blue then Z (Power) keys to
suspend the 52-key unit.

screen protector. Catch the edge of the screen protector and pull it up and away from the touch
panel.
Note: If you have one, you can also use the small plastic squeegees designed for touch panels.
3. Wipe the screen with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
Note: Use ionized air, if available, to blow additional dirt or particles off the touch panel.
Installing Your Screen Protector
