Charging the Main Battery

The Dolphin HomeBase powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in less that four hours. The HomeBase
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, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the HomeBase without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals.

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