Dolphin® QuadCharger
The Dolphin® QuadCharger provides intelligent battery management
for NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Dolphin battery packs.
The charger fully charges as many as four NiMH batteries in 2.5
hours. Charging slots work independently to control charging and
discharging of individual battery packs. The QuadCharger is
compatible with all models in the Dolphin® family of hand held
computers.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry uses a three-step
process that senses changes in temperature and voltage and drops
to a trickle charge when the packs are fully charged. This feature
allows the user to leave batteries in the charger indefinitely, which
maintains the batteries at peak capacity without damage. The
charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately
show battery status on the Dolphin display.
The QuadCharger also conditions and calibrates batteries for longer,
more consistent performance.

Charging Batteries In The QuadCharger
Follow these steps to charge batteries in the QuadCharger:
1. Set up the charger for use
2. Supply power
3. Insert batteries
CAUTION: Do not attempt to recharge any battery pack in the Dolphin QuadCharger
that is not manufactured by HHP especially for this device. To do so will void your
warranty and could damage the Dolphin QuadCharger.
Setting Up The QuadCharger
The Dolphin QuadCharger should be setup on any dry, stable surface. DIN rail
slots on the bottom panel allow the charger to be wall or desktop-mounted for
easily adapting the unit to your environment.
The charger must be connected to a power source for any type of operation.
Supplying Power To The QuadCharger
CAUTION: Using a non-HHP power cord voids your warranty and could result in
serious damage to the Dolphin QuadCharger’s circuitry.
Locate the AC power cord that came with the Dolphin QuadCharger. Plug the
cord into the power supply connector on the back of the unit and, then plug the
power cord into a wall socket.
Press and hold the Power Switch for approximately one second, then release, to
turn on the Dolphin QuadCharger. The GREEN power LED will illuminate and the
charger will undergo a self-diagnostic test.
Inserting and Removing Battery Packs
To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into
the bottom of the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging
motion. Once the battery is properly seated, the orange status LED for that
particular pocket will illuminate.
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).
The LEDs indicate the charging status of batteries as described in the chart
shown on the next page:
54
To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery out from
the charging pocket with a hinging motion.
Servicing The Battery Pack
To service battery packs, insert batteries into the charging pockets and press the
Condition button. The Condition LED will flash during the conditioning cycle. This
starts an automatic process where batteries are completely discharged and then
recharged to full capacity in eight hours. The Condition and Calibrate cycle resets
and calibrates battery data so that the user gets longer, more consistent
performance from the batteries. HHP recommends that battery packs should be
serviced, or calibrated once a month.
Because the Dolphin QuadCharger is accumulating battery pack information
during the entire Condition and Calibrate cycle, it is important not to remove the
battery until the cycle has been completed and the Condition LED is no longer
flashing. Batteries inserted after the Condition and Calibrate switch has been
depressed will receive a standard charge. The chart below describes the Status
LEDs during the Condition and Calibrate cycle:

55
Storing Batteries
To maintain top performance from batteries, follow the guidelines below when
storing them:
Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified 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.
During long-term storage, battery deactivation may tend to occur which may
cause charging to stop early during recharging after storage. This issue can be
handled by charging and discharging the battery several times. Also, the first
charging after prolonged storage may yield a lower than normal capacity. While
this will vary depending on the storage conditions, charging and discharging the
battery several times will almost completely restore capacity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems with the Dolphin QuadCharger, refer to chart below for
possible solutions. If problems persist, please contact HHP Technical Support.
Problem Issue
The CHARGING LED does not
come on when I insert a battery pack
into the Dolphin QuadCharger
Check the power connections on the
Dolphin QuadCharger. Also check to
ensure the POWER switch is ON and
the battery pack is properly seated.
The red status LED comes on during
charging.
Try to charge the battery in one of the
other charging pockets. If the red
Status LED comes on again, then the
problem is associated with the
battery pack. If the red status stays
with the charging pocket, the problem
is associated with the charging
circuity.
The red status LED remains on
without a battery in the charging
pocket.
An error occurred during the self-
diagnostic test for that particular
charging pocket. Call HHP Product
Service and request an RMA. See
Chapter 9 for additional warranty and
return information.

Powering the Dolphin Terminal
When seated in the Mobile IntelliBase, the Dolphin terminal receives the power it
needs to charge the battery and to run its internal circuitry.
The Dolphin terminal can be stored indefinitely in the Mobile IntelliBase without
damage to the terminal or the Mobile IntelliBase. Keep the Mobile IntelliBase
plugged in so that the Dolphin terminal battery pack stays fully charged.
Charging A Dolphin Terminal
The Mobile IntelliBase supplies charging power to the Dolphin terminal so that the
terminal can monitor the charging of its battery pack. This charging method
protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. Therefore, the Dolphin
terminal may be stored indefinitely in the Mobile IntelliBase without damage to the
terminal, the battery pack, or the Mobile IntelliBase.
To charge a Dolphin terminal, follow these steps:
1. Insert a battery pack into the Dolphin terminal.
2. Place the terminal, imager engine window up and the LCD visible, in the Terminal Well
of the Mobile IntelliBase.
3. Let it glide down into the well until it stops.
4. Once the Dolphin terminal is properly seated, the Dock LED on the
Mobile IntelliBase will be solid GREEN.
Deep-Cycling Batteries
For maximum battery life, HHP recommends that you deep-cycle (service) the
battery twice before initial use and once a month thereafter. Since the Dolphin
7400 Mobile Intellibase does not have deep-cycling capabilities, it is
recommended that you use the Battery Conditioning Utility software, the
IntelliBase+ or a Dolphin QuadBattery Charger. See the Battery Management
section in Chapter 3 for more information.
Setting Up For Communications with the Mobile IntelliBase
The Mobile IntelliBase RS-232 interface allows the Dolphin terminal to
communicate to a personal computer, modem, or any standard RS-232 device
using a standard serial cable and communications software.
The IrDA 1.0 software stack is integrated into the Mobile IntelliBase to allow
communication between the cradle and devices such as modems or printers that
are not IrDA ready or do not communicate with a half duplex serial protocol. This
allows any full or half duplex RS-232 device to communicate through the
IntelliBase with no IrDA protocol software. See Tables 2 or 3 for the baud rate
switch settings.
62
Installing The Dolphin Mobile IntelliBase
Mounting the Mobile IntelliBase Spring Arm Assembly
The adjustable mounting bracket holds the terminal securely in place and gives
the user a variety of options for mounting the Mobile IntelliBase. See the
directions below for mounting the bracket.
To attach the bracket:
1. Loosen the turnscrew located on the side of the bracket.
2. Attach the bracket to the ball joint on the back of the Mobile IntelliBase and tighten the
turnscrew.
Ball joint
Turnscrew
63
Connecting the Cables
Connect the Mobile IntelliBase 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
Mobile IntelliBase. Plug the other end of the RS-232 serial cable into the correct
port on the host RS-232 device.
The wiring of your cable depends on whether the other device is set up as a DCE
(Data Communications Equipment) or DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device.
The Mobile IntelliBase Communication Port is configured as a DCE device. To
communicate with a DTE device such as a computer, use a standard (or straight-
through) RS-232 cable. To communicate with a DCE device, use either a null
modem adapter in line with a standard RS-232 cable, or a null-modem serial
cable.
You can make your own cables by following the pin configuration in the chart
below. To do so, you must determine if your host RS-232 device is 9-pin or 25-
pin, and whether it is configured as a DCE or DTE device.
Supplying Power to the Dolphin Mobile IntelliBase
The Mobile IntelliBase can be powered from either a 12 or 24 volt DC source.
Power is connected to the input power connector located on the rear of the Mobile
IntellieBase.
HHP recommends that you leave the Mobile IntelliBase connected to its power
source at all times, so that it is always ready to use.

Developing Applications
Applications for the Dolphin hand held computer are developed in the
Microsoft® Windows® CE environment.
Microsoft Windows CE is a compact, highly efficient, scalable
operating system designed for embedded systems and products. Its
modular platform allows developers flexibility to customize it for a
variety of small footprint and mobile 32-bit devices. Windows CE
supports various hardware peripherals, devices and networking
systems. These include keyboards, touchscreens, serial ports,
Ethernet connections, and storage devices, such as PC cards.
The Dolphin platform contains most components of the basic
Windows® CE kernel except for Pocket Word, Pocket Excel and
Pocket Outlook. The kernel is the central module of the operating
system. It is the part of the operating system that loads first, and it
remains in main memory. Because it stays in memory, it is important
for the kernel to be as small as possible while still providing all the
essential services required by other parts of the operating system and
applications. Data synchronization also is not supported as the
Dolphin terminal is not designed for use as a single target.
