Terminal Well

Place the Dolphin terminal in this well to communicate with a host device, power the terminal, and charge its battery pack. If the host device is a desktop computer that uses ActiveSync, synchronization begins immediately. While seated in the terminal well, the main battery installed in the terminal charges. The HomeBase completely charges a battery pack in less than four hours.

Auxiliary Battery Well

See Auxiliary Battery Well on page 12-3.

DOCK LED

Turns solid green when the Dolphin terminal is properly seated in the Dolphin HomeBase. When this light is on, the terminal is connected to the base.

This color	means…

To see the auxiliary battery well, see Rear Panel on page 12-3.

For information about charging a battery in the auxiliary battery well, see page 12-5.

COMM LED

This is the communication LED. It indicates the status of data transfer between the Dolphin terminal and the host device. The color of this LED differs if the HomeBase is using the serial or USB port connection.
