Compact HomeBase

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.

Note: The Dolphin 7200 Compact HomeBase is not networkable.

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 115K baud can be transmitted by the HomeBase. With no pins or contacts to break, IrDA will work reliably for years.

Convenient Storage

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