Dolphin HomeBase

Overview

As the hub of your Dolphin 7600 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports full-speed USB
1.1 communication with a workstation.
Battery Charging
The HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours.
In addition to charging, the HomeBase powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery
from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a
trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity.
As a result, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the HomeBase indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or
peripherals.
Communication
With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps.
HomeBases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as "daisy-chaining"–but can be networked
together via serial or USB hubs.
Convenient Storage
The battery charging system makes the HomeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal.
Capacity
The HomeBase holds one Dolphin 7600 terminal and charges its battery pack.
Power Supply
The power cable that ships with each unit (see
