Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device

The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from Honeywell convert the voltage appropriately.

The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the base. This cable contains a plug adapter for each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.).

Power Cable

1.Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.

2.Plug the power cable into the power source.

3.Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is now powered.

When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see Connecting and Synchronizing the Terminal and Workstation on page 8-9).

Honeywell recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.

eBase Clamp-on Ferrite Core Installation

We recommend that you install the clamp-on ferrite core included with your Dolphin® eBase on your Ethernet cable. Installation of the ferrite is required to meet the declared FCC emission levels.
