Hub of the System

As the hub of your Dolphin system, the Dolphin 7200 HomeBase performs three

important functions – battery management, communications and storage.

Battery Management

The Dolphin 7200 HomeBase uses 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. The battery pack does not need to be discharged before recharging because

this method protects the battery from damage caused by overcharging.

IrDA Optical Communications

The IR communications port on the HomeBase connects with the IrDA port on the

Dolphin. Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115 baud can be

transmitted by the HomeBase. With no pins or contacts to break, IrDA will work

reliably for years.

The Dolphin 7200 HomeBase can be networked together for mass programming and

charging. Units are individually addressable, allowing each HomeBase to be

automatically loaded with the right information and files for its user.

Convenient Storage

The Dolphin 7200 HomeBase is a safe and convenient storage receptacle for the

Dolphin terminal. The HomeBase also holds a spare charged battery pack.
