Dolphin HomeBase ™ Device
This charging and communication cradle supports USB and RS-232 communication, enabling your
terminal to interface with the majority of enterprise systems. When a terminal is seated in a powered base,
its main battery pack charges in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery. It takes less time
if the battery has some charge.
A spare battery may also be charged in the battery charging well behind the terminal.
For more information, see Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device on page 8-1.
Dolphin eBase ™ Device
The Dolphin eBase is used to charge the main battery, to power the battery charging system in the
terminal, and can be used to communicate data from the terminal to a PC/laptop via the Ethernet port.
A spare battery may also be charged in the battery charging well behind the terminal.
For more information, see Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device on page 8-1.
Dolphin QuadCharger ™ Device
The Dolphin QuadCharger device, a four-slot charging station for Dolphin Li-Ion battery packs, can
charge each battery in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery. It takes less time if the
battery has some charge.
For more information, see Dolphin QuadCharger Device on page 9-1.
USB Communication Cable for the Dolphin 6500
The USB Communication Cable for the 6500 is used when communicating between the terminal and a
PC/laptop via the USB port. The cup-style 6500-USB cable slides onto the bottom of the device lining up
with the connector. The cable unit includes an opening for the power cable. See
Connecting the USB
Charging/Communication Cable for the Dolphin 6500 on page 6-2.
Li-Ion Battery Packs
The Li-Ion battery pack provides the main power supply for the terminal. For more information, see Battery
Power on page 3-12.
For information on how to purchase these items, contact a Honeywell sales representative.
Battery Power
The intelligent battery technology inside the terminal features two types of battery power:
• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-13)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-15)
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Dolphin 6500 for the first time!
Charge the main battery pack with the Dolphin charging cable until the LED turns green (red while
charging). The average charge time for a fully depleted main battery is 5 1/2 hours. It takes less time if
the battery has some charge.
