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 7-13. For more information about Hand Held Products
Li-ion batteries, see Battery Power on page 3-10.

Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well
The auxiliary battery well (Auxiliary Battery Well, page 13-3) located on the back of the HomeBase charges a spare battery
independently of the terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates the status of the battery in this well. Charge
time is less than four hours.
