Pivot Connector

out the back panel. The pivot connector stops in both the horizontal and vertical positions, with the connectors
facing out the bottom panel.

DC Power Jack

Connect the power cable to this power jack; see

Powering the Dolphin HomeBase

on page

8-3.

USB Port

This USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the HomeBase to a USB-compliant device
to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync
(v.4.1 or higher). For more information about ActiveSync setup, see

ActiveSync Communication

on page

6-3.

Note:

You can also purchase a serial HomeBase with a standard DB9 connector for RS-232 communication.

Powering the Dolphin HomeBase

The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts
the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from Hand Held Products convert the voltage
appropriately.

The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used
to power the HomeBase. This cable contains a plug adapter for
each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.).

1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.

2. Plug the power cable into the power source.

3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel.

The HomeBase is now powered.

When a terminal is properly seated in the terminal well, the
HomeBase powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main
battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see

ActiveSync

.

Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the HomeBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always
ready to use.
