Resetting the Terminal
There are three types of system resets: a soft reset, a hard reset, or a factory
reset. The soft and hard resets preserve all data stored in the file system.
Contact a Honeywell technical support representative for more information on
how to perform a factory reset.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the device and preserves any objects created in RAM.
You would perform a soft reset when: the terminal fails to respond, after
installing some software applications, or after making changes to certain
system settings, such as network cards.
1. Press and hold the BLUE + END keys for approximately 5 seconds.
2. The general notification LED flashes orange then green for
approximately 3 seconds as the terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Home screen displays.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset re-boots the device and closes any open applications running in
RAM at the time of the reset.
1. Press and hold the BLUE + SEND keys for approximately
5 seconds.
2. The general notification LED flashes orange then green for
approximately 3 seconds as the terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Home screen displays.
ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize data (e.g., e-mail, contacts, and calendar) between the
terminal and the host workstation (PC):
1. ActiveSync®(version 4.5 or higher) or Windows®Mobile
Device Center (WDMC) must be installed on your PC. You can download
the most current version of ActiveSync or WDMC from the Microsoft Web
site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=147001).
Note: Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed.
ActiveSync on your Dolphin terminal works with WDMC on PCs
running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on PCs
running Windows XP.
2. The Dolphin terminal and PC must be configured for the same
communication type.
3. Connect the terminal to the PC (using a Dolphin peripheral) to initiate
communication.
For additional information on ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
visit 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.
