Dolphin® 7900 Series Mobile Computer Quick Start Guide

7

Initialize the Mobile Computer

1. Power on the terminal. The LEDs flash for approximately three seconds. 

Do NOT press any keys while the terminal is booting up.

2. The terminal initializes and the splash screen displays for a few seconds. 

The Build numbers indicate the software version number. 

3. The system performs a hard reset (see page 0-18). 

4. When the display activates again, follow the instructions that appear.

5. You are prompted to align the screen by tapping the target five times. Use 

the stylus provided by Hand Held Products. 

Alignment should always be performed with a stylus designed for touch 

screen applications. The small point is required for accurate calibration.

Press the stylus firmly into the center of the cross-hair target once and 

release. Do not “double-tap” the target.
