Powering the HomeBase
The terminal requires 9.5 Volts DC input for communications and battery charging; the Hand Held Products’ power cable contains
a power adapter that converts the power source voltage accordingly. Only the power adapter cable from Hand Held Products
converts the voltage appropriately.
Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the Dolphin HomeBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is
always ready to use.
1. Connect the Hand Held Products’ power cable to the DC jack on the rear panel of the HomeBase.
2. Connect the Hand Held Products’ power cable to the power adapter.
3. Plug the power adapter cable into the power source. The HomeBase is now powered.
