Dolphin HomeBase Device
Overview
As the hub of your Dolphin system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports
both RS-232 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 4.5 hours. The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in the
Auxiliary Battery Well
(see page 11-2) 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
RS-232 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.
