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 3.7V battery or
6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. The intelligent battery charging
system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging,
which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefi-
nitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base.

To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery

1. Install the main battery pack in the terminal; see
2. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see
the Net Base on page
3. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the four terminal wells. The 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 or Li-poly 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
• The Kernel version must be 26.01 or later in terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
Classic.
• In terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Professional, the kernel version must be 25.01
or later.
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

Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Base

By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically using a DHCP server.
This means that in most cases, you would simply plug-and-play the unit.
1. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see
the Net Base on page
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into one of the RJ45 connectors on the back of the Net Base.
