GETTING   
STARTED

The LINX Display receives power from the LINX Controller via the 

USB charge cable provided. 

The LINX Display’s on-board battery will take around 1 hour to fully charge from 

flat condition and provide approximately 4 hours of non-connected run time. It 

is normal practice to leave the display on all the time and connected when in 

the vehicle. When outside the vehicle, the display communicates with the LINX 

Controller via a Bluetooth connection up to 10m away.
