Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Dolphin 6100 for the first time!
Charge the main battery pack with the Dolphin charging cable for a minimum of 4 or 6 hours depending
on your battery before initial use.
Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
There are two Li-ion battery packs available for the Dolphin 6100:
Standard Capacity: Li-ion 3.7V/2200mAh/8.1Wh
Extended Capacity: Li-ion 3.7V/3300mAh/12.2Wh
The Li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Dolphin terminal as well as for the internal
backup battery.
Changing the Main Battery Pack
Before installing a battery pack, press the Power key to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-
16) so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. Always put the terminal
in Suspend Mode prior to changing the battery. The Dolphin 6100 is shipped with the battery separate
from the unit. You will need to loosen the hand strap, remove the battery door, insert the battery, and
replace the battery door. Refer to the instructions included in Installing the Main Battery section (page 2-
1).
Note: The battery door must be installed prior to booting the unit.
Charging Options
When the battery is installed in the terminal, you can use any of the peripherals listed below to charge the
battery.
Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device (see page 9-1)
Dolphin Comm/Charge Cable; Connecting the USB Charging/Communication Cable (see page 7-2)
You may charge the device using the USB connection if you do not have a wall adapter. There are two
options that allow either 100mA or 500mA of current over the USB connection. Access the option by
selecting Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Power -> USB Charging.
To fully charge the Li-ion battery before installing it in the terminal, use the
Dolphin QuadCharger Device (see page 12-1) or insert the battery in the spare battery charging well
in the back of either the Dolphin HomeBase or Dolphin eBase.
