E-EQ-MX6PCRG-C-ARC
Battery
The MX6 PPC computer is designed to work with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery
from LXE. Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before
requiring a recharge. The more you use the scanner or the RF transmitter, the shorter the time
required between battery recharges. The MX6 PPC keeps date and time valid for a minimum of
four days using a fully charged backup battery and a main battery that has reached the Low
Warning point.
When the main battery has lost most of its charge, an icon of an “empty” or “half-empty” battery
appears.
The MX6 PPC maintains the date and time for a minimum of two days using a main battery that
has reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged backup battery. The MX6 PPC retains
data, during a main battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.
Note:
New main battery packs must be charged prior to use
. This process takes up to four
hours in an LXE Multicharger and three hours when the MX6 PPC is connected to
external power through it's power jack.

Handling Batteries Safely
•
Never dispose of a battery in a fire. This may cause an explosion.
•
Do not replace individual cells in a battery pack.
•
Do not attempt to pry open the battery pack shell.
•
Be careful when handling any battery. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do
not attempt to charge it. Dispose of it using proper procedures.
Caution
Battery cells contain a chemical solution which burns skin, eyes, etc. Leakage
from cells is the only possible way for such exposure to occur. In this event,
rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If the solution contacts the eyes,
get immediate medical attention.
Caution
Lithium and Li-Ion batteries are capable of delivering high currents when
accidentally shorted. Accidental shorting can occur when contact is made with
jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive tools, etc., making the objects very hot.
Never place a battery in a pocket or case with keys, coins, or other metal
objects.
