Batteries
Dolphin terminals feature intelligent battery technology. There are two types of battery power: the main
battery pack installed in the back panel and the backup battery located inside the terminal. They are
designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods.
Both batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin terminal for the first time!
Main Battery Pack
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. Use of any battery not sold/manufactured
!
by Hand Held Products may damage the terminal and/or the battery, may pose a personal hazard to the user,
and will void the warranty.
The 7.4V, 14.8 watt hour Li-Ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin. The Li-Ion
battery is designed to operate in a temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14 to 122°F). For the location of
the Li-Ion battery on the terminal, see
Charging Options
When the Li-ion battery is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals:
•
Dolphin HomeBase
•
Dolphin Mobile Base
•
Dolphin ChargeBase
• Dolphin Net Base (Please see the Dolphin Net Base Quick Start Guide on www.handheld.com.)
• Dolphin Mobile Charger – connect the charger to the terminal and vehicle power port
Note: Make sure the mechanical connector on the terminal is properly connected to the peripheral and that the
peripheral is connected to the appropriate power supply.
When the Li-ion battery is not installed in the terminal:
• Place the battery pack in the Dolphin QuadCharger; see
page
13-4.
• Place the battery pack in the
Charging Time
The Li-ion battery pack requires four hours to charge completely.
Storing Batteries
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4° to 104° F (-20° to 40°C) or in extremely high
humidity.
• For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
Guidelines for Battery Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• Use only the battery supplied, recommended, or approved by Hand Held Products.
• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to
local guidelines.
• Don't use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.
