Attaching a Belt Clip The accessory attachment on the back panel fits universal swivel clips designed for belts or even pedestal mounts (not available from Hand Held Products). Simply insert the tab into the slot until you hear a click or follow the instructions that came with the clip or accessory.
Dolphin 7600 Peripherals The following items are sold separately and enhance your Dolphin 7600 terminal’s capabilities. Dolphin HomeBase™ The Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports USB communication, enabling your terminal to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise systems. When a terminal is seated in a powered HomeBase, its main battery pack charges in less than four hours. A serial RS-232 version of the Dolphin HomeBase is also available.
Battery Power The Dolphin 7600 features intelligent battery technology with two types of battery power: • • The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-17) The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-19) Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Managing Main Battery Power Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the Dolphin. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery.
Internal Backup Battery Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 2.4V nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. This battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes.
Resetting the Terminal There are two ways to reset the Dolphin terminal: a soft reset and a hard reset. Soft Reset (Warm Boot) A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data. You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings. 1. Press and hold Red + ESC for approximately 5 seconds.
Changing the Memory Allocation You can adjust file storage vs. program memory in System Properties. 1. Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Memory tab. 2. Move the slider to adjust the memory allocation and tap OK. The changes take effect immediately. Format IPSM “IPSM” stands for Internal Persistent Storage Manager. It’s a folder at the root level of the device.

Using the Image Engine Overview The Dolphin 7600 terminal houses a compact image engine using Adaptus™ Imaging Technology that instantly reads all popular 1D and 2D bar codes and supports omni-directional aiming and decoding. The image engine can also capture digital images, such as signatures and pictures of damaged inventory. The image engine is angled downward. Available Image Engines Dolphin 7600 terminals are equipped with 5300 Standard Range (5300SR) image engines.
Supported Bar Code Symbologies The Dolphin 7600 image engines support the following bar code symbologies: Symbology Type Symbology Name 1D Symbologies Codabar Code 3 of 9 Code 11 Code 32 Pharmaceutical (PARAF) Code 93 Code 128 EAN with Add-On EAN with Extended Coupon Code EAN-13 GS1 Databar 2D Symbologies Aztec Code 16K Composite Data Matrix GS1 Databar MaxiCode OCR PDF417 QR Code Composite Codes Aztec Mesa Codablock F EAN·UCC GS1 Databar-14 OCR OCR-A OCR-B OCR-US Money Font Postal Codes Postnet
Activating the Engine When a scanning application is open, press the Scan key to activate the image engine. You can also press one of the side buttons (see Side Button on page 3-11), which are programmed to activate the image engine in a scanning application by default. Using Demos Dolphin Demos are software utilities loaded on all Dolphin terminals that demonstrate the advanced features of the terminal. There are two Demos feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan Demo.
Sample Bar Codes You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding: Sample 128 Sample PDF417 Code 128 PDF417 Test Message Omni-Directional Scanning Positions The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning performance. Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code. The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the terminal is held farther from the code.
Capturing Images The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt to different application environments. Image Preview When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object.

Communication Options Dolphin terminals offer several communication options including Microsoft ActiveSync, infrared, and wireless radios. I/O Connector (Wired Communication) The mechanical connector on the bottom panel (see I/O Connector on page 3-14) connects the terminal to various Dolphin communication peripherals that connect to a host workstation via USB (1.1 or higher), thus enabling ActiveSync communication. For more information, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-3.
Connecting the USB Cable Connect the USB cable to the I/O connector to facilitate USB communication between the Dolphin device and host workstation. I/O Connector Host Workstation USB Cable *Power Port USB Connector *This is a communication-only cable until you plug the power cable into the power port. Connecting the Power Cable The power port on the back end of the USB connector fits the power cable that comes with each Dolphin 7600 device.
ActiveSync Communication To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate communication.

9 Dolphin QuadCharger Overview The Dolphin QuadCharger is a four-slot charging station that charges up to four Li-ion battery packs—both 2200mAh and 3240mAh—in four hours. For more details about charging, see Battery Charging on page 9-3. ! ! Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.
Back Panel Power Supply Connector Power Switch Power Supply Connector Use this connector to attach the power supply to the QuadCharger. The universal power supply accepts input voltages between 90-265 volts. Power Switch Toggle the power switch to turn the QuadCharger on and off. Supplying Power to the QuadCharger Use the power adapter cable that comes with the Dolphin QuadCharger so that the input voltage is adjusted appropriately. 1. Locate the AC power adapter cable and plug it into the power source.
Battery Charging Inserting and Removing Battery Packs To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery away from the charging slot with a hinging motion. Charging Process The QuadCharger charges Dolphin 7600 Li-ion battery packs in four hours. Each charging slot works independently of the other three.
Mounting the QuadCharger The QuadCharger should be mounted on a dry, stable surface such as a desktop or workbench, or a flat, vertical surface such as a wall. Mounting Location When choosing a location for the QuadCharger: • Keep in mind that the mounting location must allow users easy access to power switch and power connector. • Do NOT place the QuadCharger in an enclosed space because restricted air flow can cause the temperature to elevate, which can effect charging.
Troubleshooting If you encounter problems with the QuadCharger, refer to chart below for possible solutions. If problems persist, please contact Technical Assistance (see page 11-2). Problem Issue The Status LED does not come on when I insert a battery pack into a slot. Check the power connections on the Dolphin QuadCharger; make sure the POWER switch is ON and the battery pack is properly seated. The Status LED lights red during charging. Try to charge the battery in one of the other charging slots.
