MOBILITY DHH800-MFC CONFIGURATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
3.0 General
Operation
3.1 Power options
The Mobility DHH800-MFC can be powered for portable operation by two each 9-volt alkaline, Lithium or
NiMH batteries. Alkaline batteries are standard with the Mobility MFC shipment. ABB offers NiMH batteries
and charger cradles (external charge only) as an option. For bench top operations and download operations,
an AC adapter (P/N 3KXD311800L0036) with a barrel style connector is recommended. Previous DHH800-
MFC hardware used a pin style AC adapter connector (P/N 3KXD311800L0034).
Located in the upper right corner of the display, this icon displays the
remaining battery power. Fresh batteries produce a full black cell body. As the power
drains, the black segment retreats indicating remaining power.
When the Mobility MFC is used with the optional AC adapter (P/N 3KXD311800L0036), the battery
circuit is bypassed and a wall plug icon replaces the battery icon on the display header. The AC
adapter jack is located on the left side of the Mobility MFC.
NOTE: Power icons may temporarily disappear during certain HART Communication operations
3.2 Navigating Menus
Several methods of navigating through the Mobility MFC menus are available to the user for maximum

Multi-page lists
: Multi-page lists have a and/or symbol along the right hand side of the display
indicating the existence of information on the previous or next page(s). Several pages of information
may need to be viewed when reviewing lists of installed DOFs, stored configuration files or finding a
