Dolphin 99EX Mobile Base Device
Overview
This charging and communication cradle is designed specifically for in-premise and in-transit data collec-
tion applications. It features a flexible mounting bracket and a cigarette lighter adapter to adapt it to your
environment.
The serial connector supports RS232 communication and power out to peripheral devices, such as
handheld scanners. The USB connector supports USB communication and power to peripheral devices
such as a memory stick or printer.
As the hub of your Dolphin mobile data collection system, the base performs three important functions:
charging, communications, and storage.
Charging
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in 4.5 hours for the standard 3.7V battery
pack or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery pack. The base also provides power to the intelligent bat-
tery charging system in all terminals that senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to
a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
Communications
The base supports both RS232 and USB communications. Through the RS232 serial port, you can
transmit reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115K baud. By using the high-speed USB
(v2.0) port, the data transmission rate goes up to 480 Mbps.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
