Step 2. Charge the Main and Backup Batteries

The power supply for Dolphin terminals consists of two types of battery power: the main battery pack that is accessible from the back panel, and the backup battery that resides inside the terminal.

The main battery powers the terminal. The internal backup battery charges off the main battery and maintains the application data stored in RAM memory for up to 30 minutes when the terminal’s main battery pack is completely discharged or removed.

Before Initial Use

Terminals are shipped with both batteries discharged of all power. The initial charging time for the main battery pack is 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. Connect the terminal to one of the 99EX series charging peripherals to charge; see Peripherals for the 99EX on page 3-3.Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal backup battery is fully charged.

All Dolphin 99EX model terminals are designed for use with the following 99EX charging devices and cables: 99EX-HB, 99EX-EHB, 99EX-NB, 99EX-CB, 99EX-DEX, 99EX-RS232, 99EX-USB, and 99EX- USBH. See Chapters 12-17 for additional information on the individual device requirements.

!attempt to use, charge, or change the battery in the terminal carefully read all the information under Equipment

Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, starting on page 2-1and the Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal on page 3-13.Warning!Dolphin 99EX charging peripherals are not designed for use in hazardous locations. Before you

Note: The communications/charging circuits connected to the equipment provide the transient protection set at a level not exceeding 140% of the peak rated voltage value of the IO terminal.

! We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
