Dolphin HomeBase Device

Overview

The Dolphin HomeBase device is a charging and communication cradle that supports full-speed USB 1.1
communication with a workstation. You can also purchase a serial RS-232 version of this base.
Battery Charging
A full charge of the main battery pack takes less than four hours.
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, terminals may be stored in the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery
packs, or peripherals.
Communication
The base can communicate via USB or serial RS-232. Data transmission for USB is up to 12 Mbps. Data
transmission for serial RS-232 is up to 115 Kbps.
These bases 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 base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal.
Capacity
The base holds one terminal and charges its battery pack.
Power Supply
The power cable that ships with each unit also powers the base.
