Auxiliary Battery Well

The HomeBase enables you to charge an additional Li-ion battery pack independently of the terminal well. This feature ensures that you can always have a fully-charged battery for your Dolphin terminal. See Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well on page 12-5.

USB Port

This USB Port is full-speed and 2.0 compliant. Using a USB cable, you can connect the HomeBase to a peripheral device, such as a desktop computer or printer. When the Dolphin terminal is seated in the terminal well, it is connected to the peripheral device via the HomeBase. The USB port on the HomeBase requires that you use ActiveSync 3.7 or higher.

RS-232 Port

Use a 9-pin, RS-232 cable from Hand Held Products to connect this port to a peripheral device for RS-232 data communication. For more information, see HomeBase Serial Connector on page 12-4.

DC Power Jack

Use a power cable from Hand Held Products to supply power to this power jack. For more information, see Powering the HomeBase on page 12-4.
