For Review Only - Do Not Distribute - LXE Confidential
Charge or Recharge the Main Battery
Warning : Only use LXE MX9380BATTERY 161888-0001 or 161915-0001 (Low Temperature) batteries as
replacements.
Note: The MX9 Multi-Charger is designed for an indoor, protected environment. It is not authorized for
use in areas designated as Hazardous Locations.
New batteries must be fully charged prior to use.
The main battery can be recharged in an AC poweredMulti-Charger after the battery has been removed from
the MX9 or its packing material whennew.
The main battery while in the MX9 can be recharged using several different methods.
Note: An external power source is required before the main battery in the MX9 will recharge.
The main battery can be recharged while it is in the MX9:
● by connecting the MX9 AC poweradapter to the I/O connector at the base of the MX9.
● by docking the MX9 in a powered desk cradle
● by docking the MX9 in a powered vehicle cradle
● or by connecting the car power adapter (CLA) to the I/O connector at the base of the MX9.
Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the computer’s
internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and backup battery. Frequent
connection to an external power source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain backup battery charge
status as the backup battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing main battery.

7Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus
For Review Only - Do Not Distribute - LXE Confidential
Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touchscreen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touchscreen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then
remove the stylus from the screen.
Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computerscreen.
Using the stylus to tap icons on the touchscreen is the basic action that can:
● Open applications
● Choose menu commands
● Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
● Drag the slider in a scroll bar
● Select text by dragging the stylus across the text
● Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data
● Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using the scanner/imager or an input/output device
connected to the serial port.
A right-click can be simulated by touching the touchscreen with the stylus and holding it for a short time.
A stylus replacement kit is available.
