Power Supply Connector

Use this connector to attach a Hand Held Products power cable to the Dolphin Mobile Base. The Mobile Base can be powered by an external DC power source of between 11 VDC to 48 VDC.

To run on vehicle power, you can use the 12 VDC cable or 24 VDC cable option. The appropriate cable comes with the kit you ordered. The 12 VDC cable can be used with a cigarette lighter outlet. The 24 VDC, pigtail cable can be used to “hard-wire” into the vehicle power bus.

Verify that the power source is always within the specified range and observe correct input voltage polarity. An improper input ! voltage range (above the 48 VDC maximum) or reverse polarity could damage the power conversion circuitry.

RS-232 Communications Port

Use a standard serial cable to connect the unit to a host device via RS-232; see Mobile Base Serial Connector on page 13-8.
