Dolphin RF Terminal—802.11b/g, Bluetooth, and/or GSM
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet helpful: “Something About Interference.”
This is available at FCC local regional offices. Our company is not responsible for any radio or television
interference caused by unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the substitution or attachment of
connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by our company. The correction is the
responsibility of the user. Use only shielded data cables with this system.
In accordance with FCC 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION! Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Canadian Compliance
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and
away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) installed outdoors
is subject to licensing.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
For European Community Users
Honeywell complies with Directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Information
This product has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain
hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment, if not properly disposed.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure
on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems for product
disposal. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of the product you are disposing in a
sound way.

Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer
User’s Guide
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol informs you that the product should not be disposed of along
with municipal waste and invites you to use the appropriate separate take-back systems for product
disposal.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or
regional waste administration.
You may also contact your supplier for more information on the environmental performances of this
product.
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 terminal is 0.3V/m according to
Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the RF from the Dolphin terminal 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.

Getting Started
Out of the Box
Verify that the carton contains the following items:
• Dolphin 9900 mobile computer (the terminal)
• Main battery pack (7.4v Li-ion)
• Microsoft Getting Started CD
• Q u i c k S t a r t G u i d e
Note: If you ordered accessories for your terminals, verify that they are also included with the order.
Be sure to keep the original packaging in the event that the Dolphin terminal should need to be returned
for service. For details, see Product Service and Repair on page 15-1.
Step 1. Install the Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Hand Held Products Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Hand Held Products battery
may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

2 - 2 Rev C
10/30/08
Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer
User’s Guide
Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack
installed on the back panel and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.
The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and
maintains the application data stored in RAM memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main
battery pack is completely discharged or removed.
Before Initial Use
Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. Charge the main battery pack
for a minimum of 4.5 hours before initial use.
Time to Charge
4.5 hours for the main battery pack, 8 hours for the internal backup battery the first time. Connect
the terminal to one of the 9000 series charging peripherals to charge; see Peripherals on page 3-2.
We recommend use of Hand Held Products peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-
Hand Held Products 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.
Step 4. Set the Time and Date
You need to re-set the time and date after every hard reset of the terminal. It is a good idea to set the time
and date now before you begin using the device.
On the Today screen, tap the line that displays the time and date,
The Clock Settings screen appears.
The time zone defaults to GMT-5 Eastern US; tap the arrow to the right of GMT-5 Eastern US to select
another time zone. Set the correct time and date in the remaining fields and tap OK to save.
