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 in the terminal, 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 to indicating the 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 Common Status and Notification
Icons on page 2-8.
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 Power on page 15-5).
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector 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.
5. Touch All Apps > Settings > Ethernet configuration.
6. Check the box to Turn on Ethernet. When an Ethernet connection is established the status icon
changes from to at the top of the screen.
Troubleshooting
If the items on the Ethernet configuration screen are grayed out and not accessible, verify the base has
power, the Ethernet cable is undamaged and properly installed to the base, there is an active network
signal over the Ethernet cable, and the terminal is properly docked in the base.
Ethernet Configuration Settings
Instead of using the default DHCP assigned IP address, the Dolphin terminal can be configured to use a
statically assigned IP address.
1. Touch All Apps > Settings > Ethernet configuration.
2. Select Ethernet configuration, again.
