Charging the Main Battery

The base powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in
4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V
battery. The terminal contains an intelligent battery charging system that
protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The unit
senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches
to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity. Therefore,
terminals may be stored in the base without damage to the terminals,
battery packs, or peripherals.

To check battery power, use the Power system setting; see

To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery

1.

Install the battery pack in the terminal; see

Install the Main Battery

Pack

on page

2-1.

2.

Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LED is not
illuminated, see

Connecting Power to the HomeBase

on page

12-5.

3.

Slide the terminal into the terminal well. The Power/Dock LED
changes to green. The charging begins immediately if required by the Dolphin terminal.

Make sure the terminal is dry before placing it in the base. Do NOT place a wet terminal in the base! Doing so
may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may
result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well

The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the base charges a spare battery independently of the
terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates the status of the battery in this well.

Charge time is 4 hours for the standard battery pack or 6 hours for the extended battery pack; see

Auxiliary Battery Well

on page

12-4.

1.

Insert the battery at an angle so the battery pack contacts and the auxiliary well contacts align.

2.

Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Aux Battery LED lights orange.

3.

Use the AUX Battery LED to monitor the charging progress. The LED lights green when the auxiliary
battery has completed charging and is ready for use.

Note: If the AUX Battery LED flashes red, the internal temperature of the battery is too hot or there is a battery error.

Charge the auxiliary battery in a cooler environment or replace the battery with a new Honeywell Li-ion or Li-
poly battery.
