Dolphin 99EX Mobile Base Device (Model 99EX-MB)
Overview
The 99EX-MB charging and communication cradle is designed specifically for in-premise and in-transit
data collection applications. It features a flexible mounting bracket and a cigarette lighter adapter to
adapt it to your environment. The 99EX-MB is designed for use with all Dolphin 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.
The serial connector supports RS232 communication and power out to peripheral devices, such as hand
held scanners. The USB connector supports USB communication and power to peripheral devices such
as a memory stick or printer.
As the hub of your Dolphin mobile data collection system, the base performs three important functions:
charging, communications, and storage.
Warning! The Mobile Base is not designed for use in hazardous locations.
Charging
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6
hours for the extended 3.7V battery pack. The base also provides power to the intelligent battery
charging system in all terminals that senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a
trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
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.
Communications
The base supports both RS232 and USB communications. Through the RS232 serial port, you can
transmit reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115K baud. By using the Hi-Speed USB (v2.0)
port, the data transmission rate goes up to 480 Mbps.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
