Charging the Main Battery
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminals and allows charging of the batteries in the terminals.
The battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard battery or 6 hours for the extended
battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents
overcharging, which means that Dolphin terminals may be seated in the base indefinitely without
damage to the terminals, batteries, or the base.
For more information about Honeywell battery packs and how to check battery power level in your
terminal, refer to Power (page 6-27) and Battery (page 3-12).
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet
components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
1. Install the battery in the terminal, see page 2-1.
2. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the four
terminal wells. The Dock LED for the well
illuminates blue. Charging begins immediately if
required by the Dolphin terminal.
Note: When the terminal is docked, the Battery Icon
changes from to indicating the
terminal is running on external power. Battery
charging occurs in the background. When the
Dolphin is removed from the base, the battery icon
indicates the charge level of the battery, see Icons
in the Title Bar on page 2-7. For additional
information on how to check the power levels of
the battery, while the terminal is docked, see
Checking Battery Power on page 3-17.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
Mounting the ChargeBase
Set the base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. Be sure
to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view and operate the Dolphin terminal
while it is in the base. When choosing a location, keep in mind that the mounting location must allow
users to see the LEDs and provide easy access to the terminal wells and the power jack.
