Battery Status Indicator
The Dolphin’s battery status is indicated at the top of the
touch screen in the Navigation Bar.
ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize the host workstation and the Dolphin
terminal, ActiveSync 4.5 or higher must be installed and
configured for the appropriate communication type on
both devices. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync
already installed. Therefore, you just need to connect the
Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin
peripheral) to initiate communication.
Note: You can download the most current version of ActiveSync
from www.microsoft.com.
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.
