Insert Fully Charged Battery
Note: The unit will not function unless the battery compartment cover is in place and securely
latched. Be sure to place the unit in suspend before removing the battery. If you don’t,
you may lose all unsaved data.
The main battery is located in a compartment on the back of the unit. To insert or replace the
battery, complete the following steps:
1.
Tap the Power button to place the MX6 PPC in Suspend mode.
2.
Detach the bottom hook of the elastic handstrap (if installed).
3.
Press the battery locking tab up to release the main battery pack. The battery case serves
as the back cover for the battery well for the MX6 PPC.
4.
Pull the battery up and out of the battery well with a hinge motion. Place the discharged
battery pack in a powered charging cradle or charger.
5.
Tilt the end (without the latch) of the fully charged battery pack into the upper end of the
battery compartment, and firmly press the other end (with the latch) until it is fully
inserted into the battery compartment.
6.
Push down on the battery pack until it clicks into place.
7.
Replace the handstrap hook in its holder.
Note: The battery should not be replaced in a dirty or harsh environment. When the battery is
out of the MX6 PPC, any dust or moisture that enters the battery compartment can get
into the main unit, potentially causing damage.
Low Battery Condition
When the main battery is low, a dialog box pops up with an Alert to charge the battery. The
window can be closed, but the dialog box will continue to pop up before the battery reaches the
Battery Dead/Off condition.
Main Low
Main Very Low
Icons are visible in the taskbar indicating battery strength.
When the battery reaches the Battery Dead condition, the battery sensor initiates a shutdown of all
applications and closes the RF network connection. When the main battery is replaced with a fully
charged main battery, the MX6 PPC will resume as before.
Power Key
The Power key is located in the top left corner of the keypad. Press the Power key to
turn the MX6 PPC on, place it into Suspend or to wake it from Suspend modes.
You can also use the Scan key (or trigger if installed) to wake the MX6 PPC from
Suspend.
