Charging Batteries In The Dolphin 7200 HomeBase
CAUTION: Use only the 3.6V battery packs provided by Hand Held Products.
The use of any other battery pack in the Dolphin Terminal will void your
warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin Terminal or battery.
With the Dolphin HomeBase, you can charge a Dolphin terminal and a spare NiMH
battery pack simultaneously. The HomeBase charges the terminal and the spare battery
pack independently.
When you insert a battery into the Dolphin HomeBase, it charges the battery at the
highest rate possible. The HomeBase uses a charging method that senses when the
battery pack is fully charged and then drops to a trickle charge to keep the battery pack
at full capacity. You do not need to discharge the battery pack before recharging
because this method protects the battery from damage caused by overcharging. A
dead battery will charge to full capacity in approximately three hours.
The Dolphin Terminal can be stored indefinitely in the HomeBase without damage to
the terminal, battery packs, or the HomeBase. Keep the HomeBase plugged in so that
the Dolphin Terminal’s battery pack stays fully charged.
Charging A Dolphin Terminal
1. Insert a battery pack into the Dolphin Terminal.
2. Place the terminal, laser engine window up and the LCD visible, in the Dolphin
Terminal Well of the Dolphin HomeBase.
3. Let it glide down into the well until it stops.
4. Once the Dolphin Terminal is properly seated, the Charging Main Batt LED on
the HomeBase will be solid GREEN.
