Dolphin HomeBase Device
Overview
As the hub of your system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports both RS-
232 and USB communication, enabling your terminal to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise
systems.
Communication
RS-232 transmits data at speeds of up to 115 Kbps. With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up
to 12 Mbps.
These bases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–
but can be networked together through serial or USB hubs.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal.
Capacity
The base can charge two battery packs: the one that’s installed in the terminal seated in the well and the
other in the auxiliary battery well on the back panel. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the
base also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well charges a battery pack independently
of the terminal well.
Intelligent Battery Charging
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four(4) hours.
In addition to charging, the base powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that
protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is
fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity.
As a result, terminals may be stored in the base without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or
peripherals.
Power Supply
The base is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert
the voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 7.4 volts DC required by the terminal.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.

We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
