Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device Overview Note: The information in this chapter applies to both the Dolphin HomeBase and Dolphin eBase devices unless otherwise indicated. As the hub of your Dolphin 6500 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports full-speed USB 1.1 and RS-232 communication with a workstation. The Dolphin eBase is identical to the Dolphin HomeBase except it supports Ethernet communication as well as USB 1.1, and RS-232.
Front Panel Terminal Well Charging LED Terminal Well Place the Dolphin terminal in the terminal well to communicate with a host device, power the terminal, and charge the terminal’s battery. Make sure that the device is securely seated. Rubber Feet The bottom panel has four rubber feet to stabilize the unit on a flat surface.
Back Panel HomeBase eBase Serial Port Serial Port USB Port USB Port Ethernet Port DC Power Jack DC Power Jack DC Power Jack Connect the power cable to this power jack; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device page 10-4. USB Port The USB port is full-speed (v1.1).
Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from Honeywell convert the voltage appropriately.
The following illustration shows how to install the ferrite on the cable. It should be placed approximately 1.57 inches (40mm) from the RJ45 plug. The cable should be looped around the core, as shown. Charging the Main Battery The base powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery.
Charging a Spare Battery The base can also charge a second battery while the terminal is positioned in the base. The second battery can be inserted in the battery charging well in back of the terminal connection. Place the battery in the well with the label facing up and toward the back of the unit.

Dolphin 6500 Net Base Device Overview The Net Base enables up to four Dolphin 6500 mobile computers to communicate with a host device over an Ethernet network. In addition, the Net Base provides a second RJ45 Ethernet port for connec- tion to an additional device such as a printer, workstation, eBase, or another Net Base.
Parts and Functions Front Panel Terminal Wells Power/Dock LED COMM LED Terminal Wells The Net Base contains four terminal wells. Each well has its own dedicated Power/Dock LED and COMM LED indicator. Place the Dolphin terminal in any one of the four wells to communicate with a host device, power the terminal, and charge the installed battery pack.
Back Panel Green LED Yellow LED Two RJ45 Ethernet Ports DC Power Jack DC Power Jack Use the power cable from Honeywell that comes with the Net Base to supply power to this power jack. For more information, see Power on page 12-4.
Bottom Panel For details on how to mount the Net Base, see Mounting the Net Base on page 12-6. Serial Number and Compliance Label MAC Address Label Power The terminal requires 12 Volts DC input for communications and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 12 volts DC.
Charging the Main Battery The base provides power to the Dolphin terminals and allows the charging of the main batteries in the terminals. The main battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging, which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefi- nitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network. 4. Insert the Dolphin into one of the terminal wells. The DOCK LED for the well changes from red to green and the connection icon on the Dolphin’s title bar changes from 5.
