12 Dolphin 9500/9550 HomeBase™ Overview The Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports both RS-232 and USB communications, which make it able to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise systems. When a terminal is seated in the HomeBase, its main battery pack charges in less that four hours. In addition, the HomeBase contains an auxiliary battery well that charges a spare Li-ion battery.
Dolphin 9500/9550 HomeBase Parts and Functions Front Panel Terminal Well Auxiliary Battery Well DOC K AUX DOCK LED BAT TE RY COM AUX Battery LED M COMM LED Terminal Well Place the Dolphin terminal in this well both to communicate with a host device. If the host device is a desktop computer that uses ActiveSync, synchronization begins immediately. While seated in the terminal well, the main battery installed in the terminal charges.
COMM LED This is the communication LED. It indicates the status of data transfer between the Dolphin terminal and the host device the HomeBase is connected to. The color of this LED differs if the HomeBase is using the serial or USB port connection. If using the serial port: This color means… Red Serial data is being sent from the Host Device to the Dolphin HomeBase. Green Serial data is being sent from the Dolphin HomeBase to the Host Device. Orange Serial data is being sent at high data rates.
Rear Panel Auxiliary Battery Well USB Port RS-232 Port DC Power Jack Auxiliary Battery Well The HomeBase enables you to charge an additional Li-ion battery in this well. It operates independently of the terminal well and will charge the extra battery whether there is a terminal (with battery pack) seated in the terminal well or not. This feature ensures that you can always have a fully-charged battery for your Dolphin terminal. See Using the Auxiliary Battery Well on page 12-5.
Using the Auxiliary Battery Well The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the HomeBase allows users to charge a spare battery in less than four hours. Charging a Dolphin terminal and a spare battery pack can be done simultaneously because the auxiliary battery well operates independently of the terminal well. This means that the battery in the auxiliary well will charge whether or not the HomeBase is charging a main battery pack inside a terminal seated in the terminal well.
Powering the Dolphin Terminal The HomeBase charging/communication cradle powers the terminal while charging the battery installed in the terminal. It contains an intelligent battery charging system that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. Therefore, Dolphin terminals may be stored indefinitely in the charging/communication cradles without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals.
Setting up communications Set the Dolphin HomeBase on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view and operate the Dolphin terminal while it is in the HomeBase. Communications types RS-232 The HomeBase supports RS-232 communications through the RS-232 Communications Port located on the back of the device.
Installing the HomeBase for RS-232 communications Connecting the Cables Connect the HomeBase to the host computer or other device by plugging an RS-232 serial cable into the RS-232 Communications Port on the rear of the HomeBase. The wiring of your cable depends on whether the other device is set up as a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device. The HomeBase Communication Port is configured as a DCE device.
HomeBase Serial Connector The following diagram displays the serial connector of the HomeBase. Pin # Description 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Internal Jumper to Pin 6 TXD RXD DSR GND DTR CTS RTS RI Note: Signals Referenced for a DTE Device The Home Base is at a right-angle to the printed circuit board (PCB). The ninth pin has a ring indicator (RI).
3 Check the Enable synchronization box and select the desired option from the pull-down list; 115200 Default is recommended for an RS-232 connection. 4 Click OK. 5 Place the Dolphin in the cradle. The Dolphin 9500/9550 attempts to start an ActiveSync connection with the desktop computer automatically.
The following graphic displays the correct ActiveSync Connection Settings on the desktop computer for an RS-232 connection. Note: You can have the USB connection box checked in addition to the serial cable box without affecting processing. However, you would most likely use one or the other.
Installing the HomeBase for USB communication The Dolphin 9500/9550 is defaulted to support USB communications out of the box. Required equipment: • HomeBase with power supply • USB Cable • ActiveSync v3.7 or above • Windows® 98 second edition*, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000, or Windows® XP computer. Note: The HomeBase does not support Windows NT® when using a USB connection. This is because Windows NT does not support USB. *Windows® 98 second edition provides full USB support.
5 Place the Dolphin in the cradle. The Dolphin 9500/9550 attempts to start an ActiveSync connection with the desktop computer automatically. Setting up the Desktop Computer After the USB HomeBase is installed, you can use ActiveSync to connect to a Dolphin 9500/9550. These instructions assume that ActiveSync v3.7 is installed on your PC. The latest version of ActiveSync can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com. The ActiveSync Connection Settings must be set as the following graphic indicates.
Communicating with the Dolphin 9500/9550 Terminal To initiate communications between the Dolphin 9500/9550 and its peripheral, complete these steps: 1 Insert the Dolphin into the terminal well of the HomeBase. The DOCK LED on the cradle illuminates. If the Dolphin is in sleep mode, it will awaken into active state.
Mounting the HomeBase For convenience and storage, the HomeBase can be mounted on a flat, horizontal surface such as a desk or workbench or a flat, vertical surface such as a wall. When choosing a location, always bear in mind that • the mounting location must allow users easy access to the Auxiliary Battery Well, and • the serial and USB ports as well as the power jack face straight out of the rear panel and you will most likely want easy access to them in the future.
Wall Mounting The following diagram displays how to wall-mount a Homebase. Secure screws to the bottom panel by sliding them into the available slots Attach the bottom panel to the Mounting bracket - match the holes to the secured screws Fasten the screws to secure the HomeBase to the Mounting Bracket Turn the secured HomeBase right side up. Using the appropriate screws as shown, secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall or vertical surface.

• Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature range of -4 to 104° F (-20 to 40°C) or in extremely high humidity. • For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
Charging batteries in the QuadCharger CAUTION! Do not attempt to recharge any battery pack in the Dolphin 9500/9550 QuadCharger that is not manufactured by HHP specifically for this device. To do so will void your warranty and could damage the Dolphin 9500/9550 QuadCharger. Recommendation For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before recharging them; temperature has a marked effect on charging. The recommended temperature range is 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C).
Using the Battery Analyzer Location The fourth slot of the QuadCharger is known as the Charge/Analyze slot because it contains a battery analyzer. When a battery is placed in this slot and the Analyze button is pressed, it runs the battery through the Analyze cycle. Note: The fourth slot is the only one that contains an analyzer. Analyze cycle The Analyze cycle is initiated when a battery is placed in the Charge/Analyze slot and the Analyze button is pressed.
