in the figure titled “MX3X Battery Contacts” point to the battery and cradle contacts in the
computer.

Place the battery in the compartment, making sure the side of the battery with six contacts matches
up with the battery contacts in the computer battery compartment. Do not slide the battery
sideways into the compartment.
Firmly press the battery into the compartment until it clicks. The battery is now securely fastened
to the MX3X.
About Lithium-Ion Batteries
Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and
never just stop working. This is important to remember -- the MX3X is always 'on' even when in
the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Use the
Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Power | Battery tab to check the battery status and power reading.
Always replace the used Main Battery with a fully charged Main Battery. The Battery Low
Warning LED illuminates red at approximately 35% of power left in the Main Battery. You need
to determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for your business practices and
replace the Main Battery pack before that point.
Refer to the documentation received with the charger for complete information.
