Powering the Dolphin Terminal

When seated in a base that is connected to the appropriate power source, the Dolphin terminal receives the power to charge its main battery and run its internal circuitry. Keep the base plugged into the power source so that the Dolphin terminal battery pack stays fully charged.

For more information about powering the base, see Power on page 13-6.

Charging the Dolphin Terminal

The base supplies charging power to the Dolphin terminal so that the terminal can monitor the charging of its battery pack. This charging method protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. Therefore, the Dolphin terminal may be stored indefinitely in the base without damage to the terminal, the battery pack, or the base.

!Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

1.Insert a battery pack into the terminal.

2.Slide the terminal, imager window up and the LCD visible, into the terminal well until it stops.

3.When the terminal is properly seated, the DOCK LED on the base illuminates solid green. The terminal begins charging automatically.

Mounting

The adjustable mounting bracket holds the terminal securely in place and gives the user a variety of options for mounting the base. When selecting a location, keep in mind that the power supply and serial connectors point straight out the bottom panel.

1.Loosen the turnscrew.

2.Insert the ball joint of the mounting bracket to the back of the bracket.

3.Insert the ball joint on the back of the base into the other side of the bracket.

4.Tighten the turnscrew to secure both ball joints.
