Important Battery Information
Important : If the main battery has been out of the MX5X for an extended period of time or
becomes fully discharged or dead, a fully charged backup battery in the MX5X will last for up to
24 hours. If this happens, the device will cold reset the next time power is applied from either AC
power or a charged main battery. A cold reset will cause loss of data and custom programs.
Always store unused mobile devices with a fully charged main battery pack installed. The MX5X
requires periodic connection to an external power source to maintain an optimum backup battery
charged status.
•
Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX5X is always
drawing power from the batteries (On).
•
New batteries must be fully charged prior to use
