Step 1: Install the Main Battery
Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the terminal. Mating
wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell
battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.
The 6500 is shipped with the battery packaged separately from the unit.
To install the battery, release the hand strap, remove the battery door by
turning the locks upward, insert the battery with the labels facing upward,
and replace the battery door.

Step 2: Charge the Batteries
Dolphin terminals ship with both the main battery pack and internal
backup battery significantly discharged of power. Charge the main
battery pack with the Dolphin charging cable for a minimum of 5 1/2
hours before initial use.
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.
When the boot process is complete, the Desktop appears and the
terminal is ready for use.

Hard Reset: 28-key: Press and hold the Power button and then
using the stylus, press the Reset button.
52-key: Press and hold the Blue and Z(Power)
