How To Connect or Remove the Battery Pack

Warning: Never remove or replace any battery in a hazardous location.
Note: The MX9 will not function unless the battery pack is in place and securely latched.
Note: Be sure to place the unit in Suspend Mode (by pressing the Power key or tapping Start | Suspend) before removing the battery. Failing to properly place the device in Suspend mode will result in a loss of all unsaved data.

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.

7 Tapping 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.
