Dolphin Vehicle Base

Introduction

The Dolphin VehicleBase serves as a safe and convenient storage receptacle for the Dolphin terminal.

There are two options available for the Dolphin VehicleBase:

1.Charging/communications version provides standard communications functions and serves as a docking base for the Dolphin terminal. The optical communications port on the VehicleBase mates with the IrDA port on the Dolphin. This allows reliable data communications at speeds up to 115K baud.

2.Charge-only version serves as a docking base for the Dolphin terminal

Basic Features

The Dolphin VehicleBase

•Provides a convenient interface from the Dolphin terminal to any standard RS-232 device. (Applies only to the charging/ communication version of the Dolphin VehicleBase.)

•Protects the Dolphin terminal when not in use.

•Provides power to the Dolphin terminal for battery charging.

Setting Up the Dolphin VehicleBase

The Dolphin VehicleBase should be set up on any dry, stable surface.

You must connect the Dolphin VehicleBase to a power source for any type of operation.

Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the Dolphin VehicleBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.

Connecting The Serial Cable

The following instructions apply only to the charging/communication version of the Dolphin VehicleBase.

1.Plug the RS-232 serial cable into the RS-232 Main Comm Port Connector (page 10-1)on the bottom panel.

2.Plug the other end of the RS-232 serial cable into the correct port on your host RS-232 device.

Because the location for RS-232 ports can vary on different devices, we suggest you check with your host system operator, or the host computer/peripheral setup manual, to tell you the location of your RS-232 port.

For additional information on serial cable configuration, see Cables for the VehicleBase on page 10-5.
