Getting to Know the Dolphin 75e

Product Overview

Installing the Battery

Dolphin 75e models are designed for use with battery part numbers BAT- STANDARD-02 (Li-ion 3.7 V, 6.179 watt hour) and BAT-EXTENDED-02 (Li-ion 3.7 V, 12.358 watt hour), manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
The Dolphin 75e is shipped with the battery packaged separately from the terminal. Perform the steps illustrated below to install the battery.

Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the terminal. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty

Note: Standard model battery and battery door shown.

Apply pressure to the edges of the battery door before engaging the lock to ensure the door is properly closed.
Installing the Battery

We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. Use of any nonHoneywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Charging the Dolphin 75e

Dolphin terminals ship with the battery significantly discharged of power.
Charge the battery with a Dolphin charging device for a minimum of 4 hours for the standard battery and 6 hours for the extended battery. When using the 70e-USB Charge/Communication cable to charge from a 500mA USB port on a host device, charge the battery for a minimum of 6 hours for the standard battery and 8 hours for the extended battery.

Note : Using the terminal while charging the battery significantly increases the time required to reach a full charge.

We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Dolphin 75e model terminals are designed for use with the following charging devices and cables: 70e-HB, 70e-EHB, 70e-CB, 70e-NB, 70e-MB, 70e-MC, and the 70e-USB ADAPTERKIT.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

HomeBase (Model 70e-HB)

The 70e-HB charger is designed for use with Dolphin 75e model terminals, and battery part numbers BAT-STANDARD-02 (Li-ion 3.7V, 6.179 watt hour) and BAT- EXTENDED-02 (Li-ion 3.7V, 12.358 watt hour) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.

USB Charge/Communication Cable (70e-USB ADAPTERKIT)

The USB Charge/Communication cable provides two options for charging the terminal. Use the cable in conjunction with the provided power supply adapter and plug adapter to charge the terminal from a power outlet or connect the cable to a high-power USB port to charge from a host device.

Option 1: Charging from a power outlet
Use only a UL Listed power supply, which has been qualified by Honeywell with an output rated at 5VDC and 1A with the device.

Option 2: Charging from a high-power USB port on a host device

Note: Charging the battery through a USB port takes more time than direct AC adapter charging. USB charging will not take place if the terminal is drawing more current than supplied by the USB port. Refer to the user’s guide for additional information.
Touch Settings > USB. Check the box next to “Notify me when I connect to a slower charger”.
