Dolphin Mobile Base Device

Overview

This 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.
The serial connector supports RS-232 communication and power out to peripheral devices, such as
handheld scanners.
As the hub of your Dolphin mobile data collection system, the base performs three important functions:
charging, communications, and storage.
Charging
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in 4.5 hours. The base also provides power to
the intelligent battery charging system in all terminals that senses when a full charge has been achieved
and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
Communications
The 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 base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
Capacity
The base holds one terminal.
