Dolphin 70e Black HomeBase Device (Model 70e-HB)

Overview

The Dolphin 70e Black HomeBase (Model 70e-HB) is a charging and communication cradle that
supports USB Hi-Speed 2.0v communication, which enables the terminal to interface with the majority of
PC-based enterprise systems. The HomeBase also contains an auxiliary battery well that charges a
spare Honeywell standard or extended battery.
The 70e-HB charger is designed for use with Dolphin 70e model terminals and battery part numbers
BAT-STANDARD-01 (Li-ion 3.7 V, 6.179 watt hour) and BAT-EXTENDED-01 (Li-ion 3.7 V, 12.358 watt
hour), manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Unpacking the HomeBase

Open the shipping box and inspect the package to see that the following standard items are included:
• One Dolphin HomeBase, model 70e-HB

• One power cord
These items are needed to operate the HomeBase. If any items are missing or anything appears to be
damaged, contact your Customer Account Representative. Keep the original packaging in case you
need to return the HomeBase for service or to store the HomeBase while not in use.
Optional Equipment
A standard USB (Type A to B) cable is required when using the HomeBase for communication between
the terminal and a host device.

Charging Overview

The base 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. The
base completes a full charge of the main battery installed in the terminal seated in the terminal well in
4 hours for the standard battery or 6 hours for the extended battery. The base completes a full charge of
the battery pack in the
hours for the extended battery.
Note: Before attempting to use, charge, or replace the battery in the terminal, you should read the
Battery Pack Use and Disposal
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.

Communications

Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 480 Mbps can be transmitted by the base through the
Hi-Speed USB port.
Note: These bases cannot be physically connected to each other - sometimes referred to as "daisy-chained".
