Charging the Main Battery
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminal and allows the charging of the
terminal's battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into all Dolphin
terminals prevents overcharging, which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in
the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base. When
the terminal is docked, the base completes a full charge in 4 hours for the standard
battery or 6 hours for the extended battery.
For more information about Honeywell battery packs and how to check battery power
levels in your terminal, refer to
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with
peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered
by the warranty.
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal;
2. Slide the terminal into the terminal well. The Dock LED illuminates blue. Battery charging begins immediately if required
by the Dolphin terminal.
Note: When the terminal is docked, the Battery Icon changes from
power. Battery charging occurs in the background. When the Dolphin is removed from the base, the battery icon
indicates the charge level of the battery, see
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage
not covered by the warranty.
Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well
The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the base charges a spare battery
independently of the terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates
the status of the battery in this well. Charge time is 4 hours for the standard battery
pack or 6 hours for the extended battery pack; see
1. Insert the battery at an angle.
Note: Align the battery contacts with the contacts inside the auxiliary battery well.
2. Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Aux Battery LED lights
orange during charging.
3. Use the AUX Battery LED to monitor the charging progress. The LED lights green
when the auxiliary battery has completed charging and is ready for use.
Communication
Establishing Ethernet Communication
Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the eBase
By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically via DHCP server. This means that
in most cases you would simply plug-and-play the unit.
1. Connect power to the eBase (see
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the back of the eBase.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
