Connecting Power to the eBase
1. Plug the A/C power cord into the power adapter.
2. Plug the power cable into the power connector on the back
of the eBase.
3. Plug the A/C power cord into a grounded power source.
Charging the Main Battery
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminal and allows the charging of the terminal’s
battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals
prevents overcharging, which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base
indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base. When the terminal is
docked, the base completes a full charge in 4 hours for the standard battery or 6 hours for the
extended battery.
For more information about Honeywell battery packs and how to check battery power levels
in your terminal, refer to Battery (page 2-8).
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see page 1-1.
2. Slide the terminal into the terminal well. The Dock LED illuminates blue. Battery 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 Common Status and Notification Icons on page 1-8.
Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well
The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the base charges a spare battery
independently of the terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates the
status of the battery in this well. Charge time is 4 hours for the standard battery pack or 6
hours for the extended battery pack; see Auxiliary Battery Well on page 9-3.
1. Insert the battery at an angle.
Note: Align the battery contacts with the contacts inside the auxiliary battery well.
2. Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Aux Battery LED lights orange
during charging.
3. Use the AUX Battery LED to monitor the charging progress. The LED lights green when
the auxiliary battery has completed charging and is ready for use.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with
peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered
by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage
not covered by the warranty.
