Battery Power
The intelligent battery technology inside the terminal features two types of battery power:
• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-13)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-15)
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the 6100 for the first time! Charge the
main battery pack with the Dolphin charging cable for a minimum of 4 or 6 hours depending on your
battery before initial use.
Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
There are two Li-ion battery packs available for the 6100:
Standard Capacity: Li-ion 3.7V/2200mAh/8.1Wh
Extended Capacity: Li-ion 3.7V/3300mAh/12.2Wh
The Li-ion battery packs are the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as the internal
backup battery.
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press the Power key to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-
16) so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. Always put the terminal
in suspend mode prior to changing the battery. The 6100 is shipped with the battery separate from the
unit. You will need to loosen the hand strap, remove the battery door, insert the battery, and replace the
battery door. Refer to the instructions included in Installing the Main Battery section (page 2-1).
Note: The battery door must be installed prior to booting the unit.
Charging Options
When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can use any of the peripherals listed below to charge the
battery.
• Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device (see page 8-1)
• Dolphin Comm/Charge Cable; Connecting the USB Cable (see page 6-2) You may charge the device
using the USB connection if you do not have a wall adapter. There are two options that allow either
100mA or 500mA of current over the USB connection. Access the option by selecting Start > Settings
> Control Panel > Power > USB Charging.
