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 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 incorpo-
rated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging, which means that
Dolphin terminals may be seated in the base indefinitely 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 ChargeBase on page 15-3.
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.
Mounting the ChargeBase
This base should be mounted to a dry, stable surface. When choosing a location, always bear in mind
that:
• The mounting location must allow users easy access to the power connector.
• The base should be oriented so that users can easily see the LEDs.
