Getting Started
Charging the Battery
CAUTION: Follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 65.
Charging the Main Battery
Before using the MC55X for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charging/Battery Status light
emitting diode (LED) remains lit (see Table 3 on page 14 for charge status indications). To charge the MC55X, use
a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the
MC55X, see Accessories.
The MC55X is equipped with a backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main battery.
When using the MC55X for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 40 hours to fully charge. This
is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several
hours. The backup battery retains random access memory (RAM) data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room
temperature) when the MC55X’s main battery is removed. When the MC55X reaches a very low battery state, the
combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 36 hours.
For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures see Accessories.
• USB Charging Cable
• Charge Only Cable
• Single Slot USB Cradle
• Four Slot Charge Only Cradle
• Four Slot Ethernet Cradle.
To charge the main battery:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the MC55X into a cradle or attach to a cable. The MC55X begins charging. The Charging/Battery Status
LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 3 for charging
indications.
The 3600 mAh battery charges in less than six hours.

Note: When the battery is initially inserted in the MC55X, the amber LED flashes once
if the battery power is low or the battery is not fully inserted.
Indication
Fast Blinking Amber
(2 blinks/second)
Charging error, e.g.:
• Temperature is too low or too high.
• Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).
14
Getting Started
Charging Spare Batteries
See Accessories for information on using accessories to change spare batteries.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Note that charging is intelligently controlled
by the MC55X.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC55X or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC55X or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 3.
Powering On the MC55X
NOTE: If during installation of the battery, the battery has significant charge the MC55X turns on.
Press the Power button to turn on the MC55X. The splash screen displays for about a minute as the MC55X
initializes its flash file system, then the calibration window appears.
Calibrating the Screen
NOTE: The Calibration screen can be accessed by pressing Blue key then Backspace key.
To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns with the tip of the stylus:
1. Remove the stylus from its holder on the side of the MC55X.
2. Carefully press and briefly hold the tip of stylus on the center of each target that appears on the screen.
3. Repeat as the target moves around the screen, then tap the screen to continue.
Replacing the Battery
To replace the battery:
CAUTION: The MC55X backup battery retains data for up to 15 minutes. Replace the battery within 15 minutes
to ensure that application states are maintained and that data is not lost.
1. If the MC55X is in a cradle, remove it before performing a Safe Battery Swap.
2. If the MC55X is in suspend mode, press the red Power button to wake the device.
3. Press the red Power button. The PowerKey Action screen appears.
4. Tap Safe Battery Swap. The Data Capture LED lights red.
5. When the LED turns off, remove the handstrap.
6. Slide the battery latch to the right. The battery ejects slightly.

7. Lift the battery from the MC55X.
8. Insert the replacement battery, bottom first, into the battery compartment in the back of the MC55X.
9. Press the battery down until the battery release latch snaps (2-clicks) into place.
10. Replace the handstrap.
Resetting the MC55X
There are three reset functions; warm boot, cold boot, and clean boot. A warm boot restarts the MC55X by closing
all running programs. A cold boot also restarts the MC55X, and also initializes some drivers. Data saved in flash
memory or a memory card is not lost.
If the MC55X is not functioning properly, perform a warm boot first. If the MC55X still does not respond, perform a
cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Hold down the red Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the MC55X starts to boot release the
Power button.
Performing a Cold Boot
To perform a cold boot:
• On a numeric keypad, simultaneously press the red Power button and the and keys.
• On an alphanumeric keypad, simultaneously press the red Power button and the and keys.
Performing a Clean Boot
CAUTION: A clean boot should only be performed by an authorized system administrator. You must connect
the MC55X to AC power during a clean boot.
Removing AC power from the MC55X during a clean boot may render the MC55X inoperable.
16
A clean boot resets the MC55X to the factory default settings. All data in the Application folder is retained. You
must download the Clean Boot Package file from the Support Central web site, http://www.zebra.com/support and
install on the MC55X.
To perform a clean boot:
1. Download the Clean Boot Package from the Support Central web site. Follow the instructions included in the
package for installing the package onto the MC55X.
2. Perform a warm boot.
3. Immediately, as soon as the device starts to boot and before the splash screen is visible, press and hold the
left scan button.
4. Insert the MC55X into a powered cradle.
5. The MC55X updates and then resets.
6. Calibrate the screen.
Waking the MC55X
The wake-up conditions define what actions wake up the MC55X after it has gone into suspend mode. The MC55X
can go into suspend mode by either pressing the Power button or automatically by Control Panel time-out settings.
To set the wake up conditions tap > Settings > System > Power > Wakeup.

This section describes how to set up and use a Single Slot USB cradle with the MC55X. For USB communication
setup procedures see Synchronization.
The Single Slot USB cradle:
• Provides 5.4 VDC power for operating the MC55X.
• Synchronizes information between the MC55X and a host computer. See Synchronization for information
on setting up a partnership between the MC55X and a host computer.
• Charges the MC55X’s battery.
• Charges a spare battery.

The MC55X’s Charging/Battery Status LED indicates the status of the battery charging in the MC55X. See Table 3
on page 14 for charging status indications.
The spare battery charging LED on the cradle indicates the status of the spare battery charging in the cradle. See
Table 6 for charging status indications.
The 3600 mAh battery fully charges in approximately six hours.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC55X.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC55X or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC55X or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 3 on page 14 and Table 6.

This section describes how to set up and use a Four Slot Ethernet cradle with the MC55X.
The Four Slot Ethernet cradle:
• Provides 5.4 VDC power for operating the MC55X.
• Connects the MC55X (up to four) to an Ethernet network.
• Simultaneously charges up to four MC55Xs.
The user cannot ActiveSync using the Four Slot Ethernet cradle. To ActiveSync with a host computer, use the
Single Slot USB/Serial cradle, USB Charging cable or Serial Charging cable.

Daisychaining Ethernet Cradles
Daisychain up to four Four Slot Ethernet cradles to connect several cradles to an Ethernet network. Use either a
straight or crossover cable. Daisy-chaining should not be attempted when the main Ethernet connection to the first
cradle is 10 Mbps as throughput issues will almost certainly result.
To daisychain more than Four Slot Ethernet cradles:
1. Connect power to each Four Slot Ethernet cradle.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Primary Port of the first cradle and to the Ethernet switch. See Figure 13.
3. On the first Four Slot Ethernet cradle, lift or remove the label flap and connect a second Ethernet cable to the
Secondary Port. See Figure 14.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Primary Port of the second Four Slot Ethernet cradle.
5. Connect additional cradles as described in step 3 and 4.
