Dolphin Mobile Base

Overview

The Dolphin Mobile Base charging and communication cradle is designed specifically for in-premise and
in-transit data collection applications. It features a flexible mounting bracket, a cigarette lighter adapter,
and a power cable to adapt it to your environment.
When a terminal is seated in the Mobile Base, its main battery pack charges in less than four hours. The
serial connector supports RS-232 communication and power out to peripheral devices, such as hand held
scanners.
As the hub of your Dolphin mobile data collection system, the Mobile Base performs three important
functions: charging, communications, and storage.
Charging
The Dolphin Mobile Base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. The
Mobile Base also provides power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that
senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
Communications
The Mobile Base transmits data to other devices at speeds of up to 115K baud via its RS-232 serial port.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the Mobile Base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your
Dolphin terminal.
Capacity
The Mobile Base holds one terminal.
