Connecting the USB Charging/Communication Cable
To facilitate USB communication between the Optimus terminal and the host workstation, you may
connect your unit to a host by using either the optional Optimus 5100 USB Communication Cable or
HomeBase. If you use the Communication Cable, insert the cable into the bottom of the terminal lining
up the terminal’s I/O connector with the cable unit’s connector. Connect the USB cable to the workstation
and the power cable to the power source, if required.
Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation
To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) or
Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type
on the host workstation (Windows-based PC) and the Optimus terminal. Optimus terminals ship with
ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just
need to connect the Optimus terminal to the host workstation (via Optimus peripheral) to initiate
communication.
If ActiveSync (4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center is not installed on the host workstation,
you can download and install the most current version of the software from the
Microsoft Web site (http:/
/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=147001).
Note: ActiveSync on your Dolphin terminal works with Windows Mobile Device Center on host workstations running
Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on host workstations running Windows XP. For detailed
information on ActiveSync and WMDC visit the
Microsoft Windows Phone Web site .
When communicating via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, your terminal is designed to be
connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as
the charge/communication. Use of any peripherals not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause damage
not covered by the warranty.
