Dolphin 7900 ChargeBase
Overview
The Dolphin ChargeBase is a four-slot charging cradle that can power four Dolphin terminals, and charge their main batteries in
less than four hours. Each charging slot charges terminals independently of the other slots.
Charging
The Dolphin ChargeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. The ChargeBase
also provides power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that senses when a full charge
has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended
for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes the Dolphin ChargeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for Dolphin
terminals.
Capacity
The ChargeBase can hold up to four Dolphin 7900 terminals.
Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or
power adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured
by Hand Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal
or battery.
