Install the Main Battery Pack
The 99EX is shipped with the battery packaged separate
from the terminal. Follow the steps below to install the
main battery. For information on how to remove the
battery, see page 9.
Before you attempt to use, charge, or replace the battery in
the terminal, carefully read all the information under
Equipment for Use in Hazardous Locations (see page 1).
1. Release the hook securing the hand strap to the back
panel of the terminal.
2. Remove the battery door by lifting up the latches near
the base of the battery door.
3. Insert the battery into the battery well.
Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in
the terminal. Mating wet components may cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
4. Replace the battery door. Apply pressure to engage
the door latch. The battery door must be installed
prior to powering the unit.
5. Reattach the hand strap.

6. Connect the terminal to one of the 99EX series
charging peripherals to charge the main battery pack.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-poly or Li-ion battery
packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
Battery Error Notification
If your terminal displays the following indicators, replace
the battery with a new Honeywell battery pack.
Note: Replace only with battery pack model 99EX-BTSC (PN 99EX-
BTSC-2) or 99EX-BTEC (PN 99EX-BTEC-2), manufactured for
Honeywell International Inc.
• appears in the Title bar at the top of the touch panel
display.
• The General Notification LED flashes red.
• A notification appears on the Tile bar at the bottom of
the touch panel display.
Removing the Main Battery Pack
Before you attempt to use, charge, or replace the battery in
the terminal, carefully read all the information under
Equipment for Use in Hazardous Locations (see page 1).
When removing a battery from the terminal, put the device
in Suspend Mode (see page 12) before removing the
battery door. Once the battery door is removed, wait at
least 3 seconds before removing the main battery. This
process allows the device to shut down properly and to
maintain memory during the battery swap.

Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and
disposal of batteries:
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform,
puncture or shred.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert
foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to
water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other
hazard.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or
other hazard.
• We recommend use of Honeywell Li-poly or Li-ion
battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may
pose a personal hazard to the user.
• Only use the battery for the system for which it is
specified. Do not use a battery in any other manner
outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and
peripherals.
• Only use the battery with a charging system that has
been qualified with the system per standard IEEE-Std-
1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery or charger
may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazard.
• Replace the battery only with another battery that has
been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-
Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other
hazard.
• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a
defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.

11
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. Promptly
dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
• Do not short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can
explode and cause severe personal injury. Do not
allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery
terminals.
• If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is
physically damaged, please send it to Honeywell
International Inc. or an authorized service center for
inspection. Refer to Technical Assistance on page 29.
• Avoid dropping the terminal or battery. If the terminal
or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and
the user suspects damage, send it to a Honeywell
International Inc. or an authorized service center for
inspection. Refer to Technical Assistance on page 29.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working
properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an
authorized service center for inspection.
• Excessive discharge can degrade battery
performance. Recharge the battery when your terminal
indicates low battery power.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times,
the battery life is limited. Replace it after the battery is
unable to hold an adequate charge.

12
Suspend Mode
The terminal goes into Suspend Mode automatically when
the terminal is inactive for a programmed period of time.
You can program this time on the Advance tab of the
Power System Setting. For additional information, refer to
the
Dolphin 99EX Mobile Computers for Use in Hazardous
Locations User’s Guide located on the Web at
www.honeywellaidc.com.
To put the terminal into Suspend Mode manually, press
the Power key and the screen goes blank.
To wake the terminal from Suspend Mode, press the
Power key or SCAN key .
Note: You should always put the terminal in suspend mode before
removing the battery door. For information on how to remove the
battery see page 9.

Charging the Dolphin
All Dolphin 99EX model terminals are designed for use
with the following 99EX charging devices and cables:
99EX-HB, 99EX-EHB, 99EX-NB, 99EX-CB, 99EX-DEX,
99EX-RS232, 99EX-USB, and 99EX-USBH.
Warning: Dolphin charging peripherals are not designed for
use in hazardous locations. Before you attempt to use,
charge, or replace the battery in the terminal, carefully read all
the information under “Equipment for Use in Hazardous
Locations” on page 1.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/
batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components
may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Note: The communications/charging circuits connected to the
equipment provide the transient protection set at a level not
exceeding 140% of the peak rated voltage value of the IO
terminal.
Connect the terminal to one of
the 99EX series charging
peripherals to charge the main
battery.
The charging time for the main
battery pack is 4 hours for the
standard battery or 6 hours for
the extended battery.
Honeywell recommends
charging the Dolphin terminal
for at least 24 hours prior to
initial use to ensure the internal
backup battery is fully charged.
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.
