12 Dolphin HomeBase Overview As the hub of your Dolphin system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports both RS-232 and USB communications, which make it able to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise systems. When a terminal is seated in the HomeBase, its main battery pack charges in less than four hours. Power The HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours.
Dolphin HomeBase Parts and Functions Front Panel Terminal Well Auxiliary Battery Well DOCK LED AUX Battery LED COMM LED Terminal Well Place the Dolphin terminal in this well to communicate with a host device, power the terminal, and charge its battery pack. If the host device is a desktop computer that uses ActiveSync, synchronization begins immediately. While seated in the terminal well, the main battery installed in the terminal charges.
If using the serial port This color means… Red Serial data is being sent from the Host Device to the Dolphin HomeBase. Green Serial data is being sent from the Dolphin HomeBase to the Host Device. Orange Serial data is being sent at high data rates. If using the USB port This color means… Green LED A USB Connection is established with the host computer.
Powering the HomeBase The terminal requires 9.5 Volts DC input for communications and battery charging; the Hand Held Products’ power cable contains a power adapter that converts the power source voltage accordingly. Only the power adapter cable from Hand Held Products converts the voltage appropriately. Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the Dolphin HomeBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use. 1.
Charging the Main Battery The Dolphin HomeBase powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in less than four hours. The HomeBase contains an intelligent battery charging system that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The unit senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity.
Communications USB The HomeBase also supports USB communications via the USB port located on the back. The HomeBase acts as a USB device by interfacing the USB signals of the Dolphin terminal to the USB of the host computer. Using a standard USB cable, the HomeBase’s USB interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a personal computer or to be networked through a USB hub.
