2 Charging the Battery
CAUTION: Use only 3.6V battery packs provided by Hand Held Products.
The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin terminal will void your
warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.
The terminal’s NiMH battery is shipped discharged of all power so you must charge it
before using for the first time. For maximum battery life, Hand Held Products
recommends that you deep cycle the battery twice before initial use. To deep cycle,
insert the battery into the HomeBase auxiliary battery well. Then, push and hold the
Service Aux Batt button for at least four seconds.
NOTE
Be sure to keep the
original carton and
packaging in the event
that the Dolphin
terminal or Dolphin
HomeBase™ should
need to be returned for
service.
NOTE
For maximum batter
y
life, Hand Held
Products recommends
that you deep-cycle
(service) the battery
twice
before initial
use and then, once a
month thereafter.
