Powering the Dolphin Terminal

When seated in the Mobile IntelliBase/Mobile Base, the Dolphin terminal receives the power it needs to charge the battery and
to run its internal circuitry.

The Dolphin terminal can be stored indefinitely in the charging/communication without damage to the terminal or the Mobile
IntelliBase/Mobile Base. Keep the mobile charging/communications cradle plugged in so that the Dolphin terminal battery pack
stays fully charged.

Charging A Dolphin Terminal

The Mobile IntelliBase/Mobile Base supplies charging power to the Dolphin terminal so that the terminal can monitor the charging
of its battery pack. This charging method protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. Therefore, the Dolphin
terminal may be stored indefinitely in the Mobile IntelliBase/Mobile Base without damage to the terminal, the battery pack, or the
Mobile IntelliBase/Mobile Base.

To charge a Dolphin terminal, follow these steps:

1. Insert a battery pack into the Dolphin terminal.

2. Place the terminal, imager engine window up and the LCD visible, in the terminal well of the Mobile IntelliBase/Mobile Base.

3. Let it glide down into the well until it stops.

4. Once the Dolphin terminal is properly seated, the Dock LED on the Mobile IntelliBase/Mobile Base will be solid GREEN.

Deep-Cycling Batteries

For maximum battery life, HHP recommends that you deep-cycle (service) the battery twice before initial use and once a month
thereafter. Since the Dolphin 7400 Mobile Intellibase and Mobile Base do not have deep-cycling capabilities, it is recommended
that you use the Battery Conditioning Utility software, the IntelliBase+ or a Dolphin QuadBattery Charger. See the Battery
Management section in Chapter 3 for more information.
