USB Port The USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the base to a USBcompliant device to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher).
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.). Plug Adapter Power Adapter Power Cable 1.
The following illustration shows how to install the ferrite on the cable. It should be placed approximately 1.57 inches (40mm) from the RJ45 plug. The cable should be looped around the core, as shown. Charging the Main Battery The base powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery. It takes less time if the battery has some charge.
Charging a Spare Battery The base can also charge a second battery while the terminal is positioned in the base. The second battery can be inserted in the battery charging well in back of the terminal connection. Place the battery in the well with the label facing up and toward the back of the unit.
