Dolphin 9700 HomeBase Device
Overview
As the hub of your Dolphin system, the Dolphin 9700 HomeBase charging and communication cradle
supports both RS232 and USB communications, which make it able to interface with the majority of
PC-based enterprise systems.
Charge Time
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack installed in the terminal seated in the terminal
well in 4 hours. The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in the
Auxiliary Battery Well
(see page 12-2) in 4 hours.
Charging Process
The 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 maintain the full charge.
Communications
Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115k baud can be transmitted by the base through the
RS232 serial port. Using the full-speed USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps.
These bases cannot be physically connected to each other - sometimes referred to as “daisy-chained”.
Convenient Storage
The intelligent battery charging system makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your
Dolphin terminal.
Capacity
The base holds one terminal and features an auxiliary battery well behind the terminal well that can
charge a battery pack independently of the terminal well. This means that one base can charge two
battery packs: the one installed in the terminal and a spare.
