Charging the Main Battery
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminals and allows
the charging of the main batteries in the terminals. The main
battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard
battery or
6 hours for the extended battery. The intelligent battery charg-
ing 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.
For more information about Honeywell battery packs and how
to check battery power levels in your terminal, refer to Power
(page 7-15) and Batteries (page 3-12).
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
1. Verify the main battery pack is installed in the terminal and the battery lock is engaged, see Install
the Main Battery Pack on page 2-1.
2. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see Connecting Power to
the Net Base on page 16-4.
3. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the four terminal wells. The Power/Dock LED for the well
changes to green. Charging begins immediately if required by the Dolphin terminal.
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.
Communication
Software Requirements
Before you connect the Dolphin terminal to the Net Base, make sure you have the most current software
installed. To check the terminal’s system information, tap > Power Tools > SysInfo.
Applications on the Dolphin Terminal
Applications running on the Dolphin terminal when it is connected to the Net Base should be designed
specifically for a partially connected network. For more details, please refer to the
Best Practices for Par-
tially Connected Networks
document available at www.honeywellaidc.com.
