Charging the Main Battery
The base provides power to the Dolphin terminal and allows the charging
of the terminal’s battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorpo-
rated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging, which means that
Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefinitely without damage
to the terminals, battery, or the base. When the terminal is docked, the
base completes a full charge in 4 hours for the standard battery or 6
hours for the extended battery.
For more information about Honeywell battery packs and how to check
battery power levels in your terminal, refer to
Power (page 6-27) and
Battery (page 3-12).
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with
peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Battery on page 2-1.
2. Slide the terminal into the terminal well. The Dock LED illuminates blue. Battery charging begins
immediately if required by the Dolphin terminal.
Note: When the terminal is docked, the Battery Icon changes from to indicating the terminal is
running on external power. Battery charging occurs in the background. When the Dolphin is removed
from the base, the battery icon indicates the charge level of the battery, see
Icons in the Title Bar on
page 2-7. For additional information on how to check the power levels of the battery, while the terminal
is docked, see Checking Battery Power on page 3-17.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well
The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the base charges a spare battery independently of the
terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates the status of the battery in this well.
Charge time is 4 hours for the standard battery pack or 6 hours for the extended battery pack; see
Auxiliary Battery Well on page 11-4.
1. Insert the battery at an angle.
Note: Align the battery contacts with the contacts inside the auxiliary
battery well.
2. Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Aux
Battery LED lights orange during charging.
3. Use the AUX Battery LED to monitor the charging progress.
The LED changes to green when the auxiliary battery has
completed charging and is ready for use.
