Battery Power
The Dolphin 7600 features intelligent battery technology with two types of battery power:
•
The main battery pack on the back panel (see
•
The backup battery located inside the terminal
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Dolphin 7600 for the first time! Initial charge time for the
main battery pack is four hours. Initial charge time for the internal backup battery is eight hours.
Main Battery Pack
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand
!
Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.
There are two Li-ion battery packs available for the Dolphin 7600:
Standard
Optional
The Li-ion battery packs are the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as the internal backup battery. The Li-ion
battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10 to 50° C (14 to 122° F).
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press and hold the Blue + Backlight keys to put the terminal in
so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. Always put the terminal in suspend mode prior to
changing the battery.
Charging Options
When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can insert the terminal into any one of the following peripherals:
•
Dolphin HomeBase
(see page 9-1)
•
Dolphin Charge/Comm Cable
•
Dolphin Power Cable
(see page 13-1)
To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing it in the terminal, use the
•
Dolphin QuadCharger
(see page 10-1)
Charging Time
The Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge to full capacity.
Internal Backup Battery
Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6V nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) battery.
The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery pack. The backup battery
retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for up to 30 minutes. If the terminal is left without the main
battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal backup battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according
to specifications.
Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory are not totally lost. However, the
terminal automatically cold boots when you install a fully charged battery pack and you need to reset the real-time clock.
Charging
The internal backup battery is powered by the main battery pack and must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first
time. It takes approximately eight hours to fully charge the internal backup battery the first time. After that, if the internal backup
battery is ever fully discharged, it takes 10 hours to recharge.
