Hub of the System

As the hub of your Dolphin system, the Dolphin 7200 Compact HomeBase performs

three important functions – battery management, communications and storage.

Battery Management

The Dolphin 7200 Compact HomeBase uses a charging method that senses when the

battery pack is fully charged and then drops to a trickle charge to keep the battery pack

at full capacity. The battery pack does not need to be discharged before recharging

because this method protects the battery from damage caused by overcharging.

The Dolphin 7200 Compact HomeBase provides power to the Dolphin terminal to

enable the terminal to charge its battery.

IrDA Optical Communications

The IR communications port on the Compact HomeBase connects with the IrDA

port on the Dolphin. Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115 baud can

be transmitted by the HomeBase. With no pins or contacts to break, IrDA will work

reliably for years.

The Dolphin 7200 Compact HomeBase

is not

networkable.

Convenient Storage

The Dolphin 7200 Compact HomeBase is a safe and convenient storage receptacle for

the Dolphin terminal.
