To Power a Terminal and Charge the Main Battery

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet
components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
1. Install the battery, see page 2-1.
2. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the four
terminal wells. The Dock LED for the well
illuminates blue. Charging begins immediately if
required by the Dolphin terminal.
Note: When the terminal is docked, the Battery Icon
changes from
terminal is running on external power. Battery
charging occurs in the background. When the
Dolphin is removed from the base, the battery icon
indicates the charge level of the battery, see
in the Title Bar
information on how to check the power levels of
the battery, while the terminal is docked, see
Checking Battery Power
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.

Communication

Establishing Ethernet Communication

Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Base
By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically via DHCP server.
This means that in most cases you would simply plug-and-play the unit.
1. Connect power to the Net Base, see
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the one of the RJ45 connectors on the back of the Net Base.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
4. Insert the Dolphin into the terminal well. The Dock LED for the well illuminates blue and the
connection icon on the Dolphin's title bar changes from
By default, the DHCP server assigns a unique IP address to each of the Dolphin terminals docked in the
Net Base. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
Note: Instead of using the default for DHCP assigned IP addresses, the Dolphin terminal can use a statically
assigned IP address. See standard Microsoft Windows Mobile documentation for how to assign a static IP
address to a network adapter. In this case, set a static IP address for the adapter named "SMSC9500 USB2.0
FAST Ethernet Drive".
Displaying the Net Base Terminal Well and Dolphin IP Address
Once the Dolphin terminal establishes communication, it uses the unique IP address assigned to the
terminal well it is docked in on the Net Base. If four Dolphin terminals are successfully connected, then
four different IP addresses are assigned to the adapter associated with the Dolphin terminal.
