Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device
The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the
power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from
Honeywell convert the voltage appropriately.
The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the base. This cable contains
a plug adapter for each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.).
1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.
2. Plug the power cable into the power source.
3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is now powered.
When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery
pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-2).
Honeywell recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is
always ready to use.
