Charging the Main Battery
The Dolphin HomeBase powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in less than four hours.
The HomeBase contains an intelligent battery charging system that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging.
The unit senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at
full capacity. Therefore, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the HomeBase without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or
peripherals.
To check battery power, use the Power system setting; see Power on page 5-10.
For more information about Hand Held Products Li-ion batteries, see Batteries on page 3-10.
