Auxiliary Battery Well
The HomeBase enables you to charge an additional Li-ion battery pack independently of the terminal well. This
feature ensures that you can always have a fully-charged battery for your Dolphin terminal. See Charging a Spare
Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well on page 12-5.
USB Port
This USB Port is full-speed and 2.0 compliant. Using a USB cable, you can connect the HomeBase to a peripheral

ActiveSync 3.7 or higher.
