These items are needed to operate the HomeBase. If any items are missing or anything appears to be damaged, contact your Customer Account Representative. Keep the original packaging in case you need to return the HomeBase for service or to store the HomeBase while not in use.

Optional Equipment

A standard USB (Type A to B) cable is required when using the HomeBase for communication between the terminal and a host device.

Charging Overview

The base provides power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge. The base completes a full charge of the main battery installed in the terminal seated in the terminal well in 6 hours for the extended battery. The base completes a full charge of the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well (see page 12-3)in 6 hours for the extended battery.

Note: Before attempting to use, charge, or replace the battery in the terminal, you should read the Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal on page 3-13.

!We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Communications

Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 480 Mbps can be transmitted by the base through the Hi-Speed USB port.

Note: These bases cannot be physically connected to each other - sometimes referred to as “daisy-chained”.
