Dolphin 99EX Mobile Base Device (Model 99EX-MB)

Overview

The 99EX-MB charging and communication cradle is designed specifically for in-premise and in-transit
data collection applications. It features a flexible mounting bracket and a cigarette lighter adapter to
adapt it to your environment. The 99EX-MB is designed for use with Dolphin 99EX and 99GX model ter-
minals using battery pack model 99EX-BTSC (standard Li-poly 3.7 V, 11.3 watt hour) or 99EX-BTEC
(extended Li-ion 3.7 V, 18.5 watt hour) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
The serial connector supports RS232 communication and power out to peripheral devices, such as
handheld scanners. The USB connector supports USB communication and power to peripheral devices
such as a memory stick or printer.
As the hub of your Dolphin mobile data collection system, the base performs three important functions:
charging, communications, and storage.
The Mobile Base is not designed for use in hazardous locations.
Charging
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery pack
or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery pack. 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 supports both RS232 and USB communications. Through the RS232 serial port, you can
transmit reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115K baud. By using the Hi-Speed USB (v2.0)
port, the data transmission rate goes up to 480 Mbps.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
