Battery Status Indicator

The Dolphin’s battery status is indicated at the top of the

touch screen in the Navigation Bar.

ActiveSync Communication

To synchronize the host workstation and the Dolphin

terminal, ActiveSync 4.5 or higher must be installed and

configured for the appropriate communication type on

both devices. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync

already installed. Therefore, you just need to connect the

Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin

peripheral) to initiate communication.

Note: You can download the most current version of ActiveSync

from 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.
