Charging Batteries In The Dolphin 7200 HomeBase

CAUTION: Use only the 3.6V battery packs provided by Hand Held Products.
The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin Terminal will void your
warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin Terminal or battery.
With the Dolphin HomeBase, you can charge a Dolphin terminal and a spare NiMH
battery pack simultaneously. The HomeBase charges the terminal and the spare battery
pack independently.
When you insert a battery into the Dolphin HomeBase, it charges the battery at the
highest rate possible. The HomeBase uses a charging method that senses when the
battery pack is fully charged and then drops to a trickle charge to keep the battery pack
at full capacity. You do not need to discharge the battery pack before recharging
because this method protects the battery from damage caused by overcharging. A
dead battery will charge to full capacity in approximately three hours.
The Dolphin Terminal can be stored indefinitely in the HomeBase without damage to
the terminal, battery packs, or the HomeBase. Keep the HomeBase plugged in so that
the Dolphin Terminal's battery pack stays fully charged.
