1 Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new Dolphin® 7400/7450 hand held computer. You have made a wise choice in selecting the Dolphin, a device known worldwide for its ergonomic shape, light weight and single-handed data collection features.
Safety The Dolphin 7400/7450 handheld computer meets or exceeds the requirements of all applicable standards organizations for safe operation. However, as with any electrical equipment, the best way to ensure safe operation is to know the possible risks. The following safety guidelines are designed to protect both you and others around you. Please read them carefully before using your Dolphin terminal.
If Your Dolphin 7400/7450 has a radio The Dolphin® 7400/7450 RF terminal is designed to comply with the most current applicable standards on safe levels of RF energy developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and has been recommended for adoption by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
• 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.

Decode LED Scan LED 1/4 VGA Display (Optional Touchscreen) ON/SCAN Key Cursor Key Keypad with epoxy-coated keys 1 The red light emitting diode (LED) located at the upper right corner of the LCD display is SCAN LED. This LED illuminates when the user presses the ON/SCAN key and activates the scan engine. The green LED located at the upper left corner of the LCD display is DECODE LED.
46! 9:* The Dolphin 7400 screen is a 240 x 320 pixel 1/4 VGA display. The electroluminescent backlight allows you to view the display in low light conditions. To conserve power, the backlight may be programmed to automatically turn off after a prescribed amount of time. The contrast may be adjusted with the contrast keys. The Dolphin 7400 display may be equipped with a touchscreen that can be activated with a stylus or finger.
There are three keyboard options for the Dolphin 7400: • • • 43-key alphanumeric 35-key numeric/alpha only 56-key alphanumeric 43-key alpha/numeric keyboard 35-key numeric/alpha keyboard 56-key alpha/numeric keyboard # * The Dolphin 7400 RF terminal’s antenna is a unity gain, quarter-wave, monopole antenna.

5 The Battery well is a recessed area on the back of the Dolphin that holds the 2700 mAh NiMH battery pack. / The integrated elastic hand strap provides the user with a comfortable, secure grip on the terminal. If desired, the strap may be removed. $ ) ) $ When the Dolphin is placed in the main well of the Dolphin HomeBase, the Dolphin’s battery pack is charged through these gold-plated contacts.
There are two batteries in the Dolphin: Internal NiMH Backup Battery Located inside the Dolphin, this battery backs up the RAM and clock when the NiMH main battery is discharged or removed from the terminal. The internal backup battery is not user replaceable. NiMH Battery Pack The battery pack is the primary power source for operating the Dolphin terminal.
Letting the back-up battery become fully discharged will cause you to lose all data. Therefore, you should keep a charged battery pack in the Dolphin at all times to conserve the internal back-up battery. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged pack in the Dolphin. The internal battery will prematurely discharge if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. A battery status indicator will display in the notification tray when the battery is low or critically low.
+ ) , For maximum battery life, you must service, or deep cycle, the battery twice before initial use. It is also recommended that you service the battery once per month. To deep cycle, insert the battery into the Dolphin 7400 QuadCharger or use the Battery Conditioning Utility. The Battery Conditioning Utility is used to condition or deep cycle a battery in the Dolphin 7400 terminal. The discharge/charge cycle will minimize battery memory effects and ensure the battery data is correct.
4. Touch the ‘Condition’ button (or the ‘C’ key on non-touchscreen terminals) to start the battery conditioning process. The process will begin in approximately 60 seconds. 5. Touch the ‘Abort’ button (or the ‘A’ key on non-touchscreen terminals) to abort the battery conditioning process. For more information on using the Quad Battery Charger, see the Quad Battery Charger User’s Guide.
