Connecting the Dolphin 6100-USB Communication Cable

To facilitate USB communication between the Dolphin terminal and the host workstation, you may connect your unit to a host by using either the optional Dolphin 6100-USB Communication Cable or HomeBase. If you use the Communication Cable, slide the cable unit onto the bottom of the terminal lining up the terminal’s I/O connector with the cable unit’s connector.

Charging Terminal with USB Cable

Not only can you communicate between the terminal and the host using the Dolphin Charging/ Communication cable, but you can also trickle charge the terminal. The preferred charging method, however, is using the supplied power cord and plugging the unit into the wall. To charge the main battery using the USB cable:

1. Disconnect the cable and select > Settings > System > Power. The default setting is Off.
