DC Power Jack

Connect the power cable to this power jack; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase on page 8-3.

USB Port

This USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the HomeBase to a USB-compliant device to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information about ActiveSync setup, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-3.

Note: You can also purchase a serial HomeBase with a standard DB9 connector for RS-232 communication.

Powering the Dolphin HomeBase

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 Hand Held Products convert the voltage appropriately.

The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used

to power the HomeBase. This cable contains a plug adapter for

2. Plug the power cable into the power source.

3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel.

Power Cable

The HomeBase is now powered.

 

When a terminal is properly seated in the terminal well, the HomeBase powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-3).

Hand Held Products recommends that you leave the HomeBase connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.
