Communication

Dolphin terminals support USB communications out of the box. The base also supports USB communications via the USB port
located on the back. The base acts as a USB device by interfacing the USB signals of the Dolphin terminal to the USB of the
host workstation. Using a standard USB cable, the base's USB interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a
workstation.
Note: This base cannot be daisy-chained.
Requirements
• A base powered by a power cable and power adapter cable
• A standard USB (Type A to B) communication cable
• A workstation running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10.

Establishing USB Communication

1. Connect power to the HomeBase (see
2. Plug the USB communication cable into the USB port on the back of the base.
Note: The Dolphin terminal should always be removed from the HomeBase when connecting or
disconnecting the USB cable.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the host workstation.
4. Insert the Dolphin terminal into the terminal well of the base. The Dock LED illuminates blue.
5. By default, the Dolphin 75e is in USB charging only mode. To enable file transfers, swipe down from the top of the
Home screen to access the Notifications panel.
6. Touch the USB notification, and then select either File transfers (MTP) or Photo transfer (PTP).
7. Depending on the Windows operating system on your computer, either select File Explorer or Windows Explorer.
8. Under Computer, click on D75E.
9. You can now copy, delete and/or move files or folders between the computer and the terminal or the microSD card
installed in the terminal (optional) as you would with any other storage drive (e.g., cut and paste or drag and drop).
Note: When you connect as a Photo transfer (PTP) only the DCIM and Pictures folders from the Internal Storage are
available.

Mounting the HomeBase

Set the base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. The user should be able to view
and operate the Dolphin terminal while it is in the base. When choosing a mounting location, bear in mind that the location must
allow users' easy access to the Auxiliary Battery Well and the back panel of the HomeBase where the USB port and the power
jack are located.

Optional DIN Rail Mount

A DIN rail (7.5 X 35 mm) may be installed on the bottom of the base to provide the optional security of mounting the base to
a flat horizontal surface with hardware.
