Managing Battery Power - Honeywell Dolphin 70e Black User Manual

current than supplied by a 100mA source causing the terminal to continue to draw power from the
battery.
Note: Placing the terminal in Suspend mode while charging reduces the current draw of the terminal and shortens
the charging time of the battery.
Charging a Severely Low or Completely Discharged Battery
Battery Charge Status
Severely Low
Completely Discharged
Use one of the following options to charge a severely low or completely discharged battery.
1. Insert the battery into the auxiliary battery well of the HomeBase. When the auxiliary battery LED on
the HomeBase turns green, the battery is fully charged.
2. Dock the terminal into the charging well of a peripheral (e.g., HomeBase, eBase, Net Base or
ChargeBase). The terminal starts to boot as soon as power is supplied by the base.
Note: To prevent the possible loss of unsaved data, do not remove the terminal from the base until the battery
has sufficiently charged.

3. Charge the terminal from a wall power outlet using the USB Charge/Communication Cable and
power supply provided with your terminal. As the battery charges, the general notification LED
cycles through green, red, amber and off. The LED continues to cycle until the battery reaches a
safe charge threshold and the terminal begins to boot. The length of time before the battery reaches
a safe charge threshold varies depending on the extent of the battery discharge.
Note: If the general notification LED does not start to cycle after approximately 5 seconds when power is
applied, press the Power button once.
4. Charge the terminal from a USB host device (PC) using the USB Charge/Communication Cable.
Note: Inadequate source current may interfere with effective battery charging; see
Guidelines on page 3-11 for additional information.
As the battery charges, the general notification LED cycles through green, red, amber and off. The
LED continues to cycle until the battery reaches a safe charge threshold and the terminal begins to
boot. The length of time before the battery reaches a safe charge threshold varies depending on the
extent of the initial battery discharge level and the current supplied by the USB charging source.
Note: If the general notification LED does not start to cycle after approximately 5 seconds when power is
applied, press the Power button once.

Managing Battery Power

Letting the battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Honeywell
recommends, you keep a charged battery in the terminal at all times to help prevent data loss. Removing
the battery from the terminal erases all non-persistent memory.
When the terminal is running on battery power (as opposed to external power), warnings are displayed
when the battery reaches critical and low battery points.

Symptom
Pressing the Power button does not wake the terminal from Suspend mode. The general
notification LED may flash once when the Power button is pressed.
Pressing the Power button does not wake the device and the general notification LED
remains off.
