Dolphin® 7900 Series HomeBase™

Charging/Communication Cradle

The Dolphin HomeBase is a compact charging and communication cradle that seats one Dolphin 7900 mobile computer. In addition to charging and communication, it provides safe, convenient storage for a Dolphin terminal.

This ergonomic cradle supports both USB (12 Mbps) and RS-232 (up to 115 Kbps) communications, making it easy to integrate into the majority of PC-based enterprise systems. Its high-speed, direct USB connection is well-suited for batch applications that involve collecting large quantities and multiple types of data, such as 1D and 2D bar codes and images that use more sophisticated applications and databases.

The HomeBase powers a seated terminal while charging its installed battery in less than four hours. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into Dolphin terminals prevents over- and undercharging. The auxiliary battery well can charges a spare battery to be on-hand for power-intensive applications.

Like all Dolphin products, the HomeBase is ruggedized to withstand the harshest of environments yet sleek enough to be easy to handle. DIN rail slides along the bottom panel enable secure mounting

to a desktop/bench while an available mounting bracket (ordered separately) enable secure wall-mounting.

Communications and charging status are easily monitored using the LEDs on the front panel. The DOCK LED indicates when the Dolphin terminal is properly seated in the HomeBase. The COMM LED displays the communication status between the seated Dolphin terminal and its host. The AUX BATTERY LED indicates the charging status of the spare battery.
