• Microsoft Companion CD
• Dolphin 9500 Quick Start Guide
Note: If you ordered accessories for your terminals, verify that they are also included with the order.
Be sure to keep the original packaging in the event that the Dolphin terminal should need to be returned for service. For details,
see Product Service and Repair on page 16-1.
Hand Strap
The Dolphin 9500 ships with the hand strap installed and fastened to the bottom panel
with a clip; see Bottom Panel Features on page 3-9. To install the battery pack, you must
detach the hand strap.
To detach the hand strap, push the hand strap clip down and away from the terminal.
Move the strap up and away from the bottom panel.
To re-attach the hand strap, slide the clip back into place on the bottom panel.
The Dolphin 9501 has a special hand strap; see Dolphin 9501 Hand Strap and Stylus on
page 11-5.
Step 2. Install the Main Battery Pack
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any
battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products in Dolphin 9500 Series
terminals will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal
or battery.
1. Unpack the Li-ion battery pack. Hold the terminal with the front panel (keyboard)
facing down.
2. Take the battery and insert the end without the locking tab into the top of the
battery well and push down with a hinging motion until the locking tab snaps.
To Remove the Main Battery Pack
Put the terminal in suspend mode (see page 2-11). Press the locking tab on the battery
pack away from the bottom panel, and pull the battery pack up with a hinging motion.
Step 3. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
The power supply for the Dolphin mobile computer consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack installed on the
back panel and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.
The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and maintains the application
data stored in RAM and system clock for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main battery pack is completely discharged or
removed.
