Connecting Power to the Net Base
1. Plug the A/C power cord into the power adapter.
2. Plug the power connector cable into the power connector on the back of the Net Base.
3. Plug the A/C power cord into a standard wall outlet. The LED on the Power Adapter illuminates to
indicate power.
4. All four Power/Dock LEDs illuminate solid red to indicate the base has power. Terminal wells with
properly docked Dolphins indicate power with a green LED.
5. The base is ready to begin charging terminals.
Charging the Main 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
.
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminals and allows the
charging of the main batteries in the terminals. The main battery of
each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6
hours for the extended 3.7V battery. The intelligent battery charging
system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging,
which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefi-
nitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base.
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
1. Install the main battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Main
Battery Pack on page 2-3.
2. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see Connecting Power to
the Net Base on page 16-5.
3. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the four terminal wells. The the Power/Dock LED for the well
changes to green. Charging begins immediately if required by the Dolphin terminal.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet
components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-poly or Li-ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may
result in damage not covered by the warranty.
