NiMH Battery Pack

The 3.6V, 1500 mAh Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) battery pack is the

primary power source for the Dolphin. Other Nickel-Metal-Hydride

batteries may be approved by Hand Held Products, Inc. to work with your

Dolphin. Contact Hand Held for more information.

The 1500 mAh NiMH battery is designed to operate in temperature range

of –10 to 50 °C (14 to 122° F). For maximum performance, charge the batteries

between 10 and 35 °C (50 and 95° F).

Performance specifications for a fully charged 1500 mAh NiMH battery:

Up to 20 hours of usage in a Dolphin Batch terminal with a full battery charge

Up to 10 hours of usage in a Dolphin RF terminal with a full battery charge

Keep a charged battery pack in the Dolphin at all times to conserve the internal back-

up battery. When you remove a battery pack, insert another battery pack in the

Dolphin. The internal battery will prematurely discharge if there is not at least a

partially charged battery in the terminal.

Servicing the Battery Pack

For maximum battery life, Hand Held Products recommends that you deep cycle the

battery twice before initial use. It is also recommended that you service, or calibrate

the battery once per month. To deep cycle, insert the battery into the HomeBase

auxiliary battery well. Then, push and hold the Service Aux Batt button for at least 4

seconds.

For more information, see the section on the Service Aux Batt feature of the HomeBase

in Chapter 7.

Charging the Battery Pack

You can recharge an individual battery pack using the auxiliary battery well of the

Dolphin HomeBase or the Dolphin 10-Slot Multiple Battery Charger. Both accessories

use 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.

For more details, see the section on Charging Batteries in the

HomeBase in Chapter 7.

NOTE

Keep a charged

battery pack in the

Dolphin at all times to

conserve the internal

back-up battery.

NOTE

For maximum battery

life, Hand Held

Products recommends

that you deep-cycle

(service) the battery

twice

before initial use

and then, once a month

thereafter.
