Charging The Main Battery; To Power A Terminal And Charge Its Main Battery; Charging A Spare Battery In The Auxiliary Battery Well; Communication - Honeywell Dolphin 60s User Manual

Charging the Main Battery

The base provides power to the Dolphin terminal and allows the charging of the
terminal's battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into all Dolphin
terminals prevents overcharging, which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored
in the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery, or the base. When
the terminal is docked, the base completes a full charge in 6 hours for the extended
battery.
For more information about Honeywell battery packs and how to check battery power
levels in your terminal, refer to

To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices.
Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see
2. Slide the terminal into the terminal well. The Dock LED illuminates green. Battery charging begins
immediately if required by the Dolphin terminal.
Note: When the terminal is docked, the Battery Icon changes from
running on external power. Battery charging occurs in the background. When the Dolphin is removed
from the base, the battery icon indicates the charge level of the battery, see
page 2-4. For additional information on how to check the power levels of the battery, while the terminal
is docked, see
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.

Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well

The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the base charges a spare battery independently of the
terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates the status of the battery in this well.
Charge time is 6 hours for the extended battery pack; see
1. Insert the battery at an angle.
Note: Align the battery contacts with the contacts inside the auxiliary battery
well.
2. Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Aux Battery
LED lights orange during charging.
3. Use the AUX Battery LED to monitor the charging progress. The LED
changes to green when the auxiliary battery has completed charging
and is ready for use.

Communication

Dolphin terminals support USB communications out of the box. The base also supports USB communi-
cations via the USB port located on the back. The base acts as a USB device by interfacing the USB
signals of the Dolphin terminal to the USB of the host workstation. Using a standard USB cable, the
base's USB interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a workstation.
