Dolphin Mobile Base

Overview

The Dolphin Mobile Base charging and communication cradle is designed specifically for in-premise and in-transit data collection
applications. It features a flexible mounting bracket, a cigarette lighter adapter, and a power cable to adapt it to your environment.
When a terminal is seated in the Mobile Base, its main battery pack charges in less than four hours. The serial connector supports
RS-232 communication and power out to peripheral devices, such as hand held scanners.
As the hub of your mobile data collection system, the Mobile Base performs three important functions: charging, communications,
and storage.
Charging
The Mobile Base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. The Mobile Base also
provides power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that senses when a full charge has
been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to prevent over- and undercharging.
Communications
The Mobile Base transmits data at speeds of up to 115K baud via its RS-232 serial port.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the Mobile Base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
Capacity
The Mobile Base holds one terminal.
