Installing Additional Software
Dolphin terminals ship with the operating system, radio drivers, and custom Honeywell software loaded
onto the device. These are the default programs that install when your terminal first boots up. You can
install additional software programs to the terminal provided that the following parameters are met:
• The software program was created for a Windows Mobile device.
• The terminal has enough memory to store and run the program.
• The program has an EXE, CAB, or DLL extension.
The most popular place to find software on the Windows Mobile website: www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows
Mobile 5.0 and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > System
tab > About > Version tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.
To install additional software, you can use the communication options described in this chapter.
