Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries
WARNING! Use only the battery packs provided by HHP. The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal
will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.
The Li-Ion battery is packaged separately and ships discharged of all power. It must be charged completely before initial use.
When installed in the terminal, the battery pack can be charged in the HomeBase, Mobile Base, or with the appropriate charging
cable. When not installed in the terminal, battery packs can be charged in the QuadCharger or the auxiliary well of the
HomeBase.
The internal backup battery maintains the application data stored in RAM and system clock when the terminal's main battery
pack is discharged or removed from the terminal.
Time to Charge: Four hours for the main battery pack, eight hours for the internal backup battery the first time.
Install the main battery pack
1 Unpack the main battery pack. Hold the terminal with the front panel (keyboard) facing down.
2 The Dolphin 9500 ships with the handstrap installed and fastened with a clip on the back of the bottom panel. Push the clip of
the handstrap down and away from the terminal to unhook it. Move the strap up and away from the battery compartment.
3 Insert the end without the locking tab into the top of the battery well and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion.
The battery case serves as the back cover of the terminal.
