Install the Main Battery Pack
The 99EX/99GX 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 6.
Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery
in the terminal. Mating wet components may cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
!
1. Release the hook securing the hand strap to the back
panel of the terminal (99EX only).
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.
2
3
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 (99EX only).
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.
!
6
Removing the Main Battery Pack
When removing a battery from the terminal, put the device
in Suspend Mode (see page 9) 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 Error Notification
If your terminal displays the following indicators, replace
the battery with a new Honeywell battery pack.
•
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.
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.
7
•
•
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly
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.
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 24.
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
8
International Inc. or an authorized service center for
inspection. Refer to Technical Assistance on page 24.
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.
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
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
SCAN
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 6.

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
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.
