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

6

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.

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 the

Dolphin 99EX/99GX User’s Guide

located on the Web at www.honeywellaidc.com

.

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

Power key or SCAN key SCAN .

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

.

!

Dolphin 99EX and 99GX model terminals are designed for use with the following 99EX charging devices and cables:

99EX-HB, 99EX-EHB, 99EX-MB, 99EX-NB, 99EX-CB,

99EX-DEX, 99EX-RS232, 99EX-USB, 99EX-MC, and

99EX-USBH.

Warning! Dolphin charging peripherals are not designed for use in hazardous locations.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/ batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Connect the terminal to one of the 99EX series charging peripherals to charge the main battery.

The charging time for the main battery pack is 4 hours for the standard battery or 6 hours for the extended battery.

Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal backup battery is fully charged.
