Charging the Main Battery
The eBase provides power to the Dolphin terminal and allows the charging
of the terminal’s main battery. The intelligent battery charging system
incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging, which
means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the eBase indefinitely with-
out damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the eBase.
To check battery power, use the Power system setting; see
For more information about Honeywell Li-ion batteries, see
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
1.
Install the battery pack in the terminal; see
2.
Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LED is not illuminated,
see
3.
Slide the terminal into the terminal well. The Power/Dock LED
changes to green. Battery charging begins immediately if required by
the Dolphin terminal.
Make sure the terminal is dry before placing it in the eBase. Do NOT place a wet terminal in the eBase! 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
13-4.
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.
