Mounting the HomeBase

Set the base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view and operate the Dolphin terminal while it is in the base.

When choosing a mounting location, bear in mind that the location must allow users' easy access to the Auxiliary Battery Well and the back panel of the HomeBase where the serial port, USB port, and the power jack are located.

Desk Mounting

The DIN rail slot (7.5 X 35 mm) may be mounted on the bottom to allow for secure desk attachment of the unit if desired.
