Dolphin 99EX Net Base Device (Model 99EX-NB)
Overview
The Net Base enables up to four Dolphin 99EX mobile computers to communicate with a host device
over an Ethernet network. In addition, the Net Base provides a second RJ45 Ethernet port for connec-
tion to an additional device such as a printer, workstation, eBase, or another Net Base.
The 99EX-NB charger is designed for use with all 99EX model terminals using battery pack model
99EX-BTSC (standard Li-poly 3.7 V, 11.3 watt hour) or 99EX-BTEC (extended Li-ion 3.7 V, 18.5 watt
hour) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
Note: Dolphin 99EX models intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres are only approved to use battery
pack model 99EX-BTEC (PN 99EX-BTEC-2) or 99EX-BTSC (PN 99EX-BTSC-2). See Equipment Intended
for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, starting on page 2-1 for additional information.
Warning! The Net Base is not designed for use in hazardous locations.
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.
Unpacking the Net Base
Open the shipping box and inspect the package to see that the following standard items are included:
One Dolphin Net Base Ethernet cradle, model 99EX-NB
One power supply (see Power on page 16-4)
One power cord
You will also need to provide a standard CAT-5 Ethernet network cable. These items are needed to set
up and operate the Net Base. If any items are missing or anything appears to be damaged, contact your
Customer Account Representative.
Keep the original packaging in case you need to return the Net Base for service or to store the Net Base
while not in use.
Charge Time
The base supplies power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals, which senses
when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is
recommended for Li-ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.
The main battery of each terminal charges n 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the
extended 3.7V battery.
Before you attempt to use, charge, or change the battery in the terminal carefully read all the information under
Equipment Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, starting on page 2-1 and the Guidelines
for Battery Pack Use and Disposal on page 3-13.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
