MX7 Cold Storage Configuration
•MX7 1250mAh Cold Storage (MX7CS) battery has a blue label.
•Snowflake decal above the MX7CS keypad.
•Heating element visible on the MX7CS touch screen and the scanner aperture.
•MX7CS cold storage battery is recharged in the MX7 Tecton battery charger, MX7 Desk Cradle and when in an MX7 attached to an external power source (e.g., AC adapter).
The MX7 Cold Storage device is designed to operate normally when reading bar codes and moving from, and into, cold storage warehouses, freezers and vehicles where the temperatures may vary between
Cold Storage Battery
There is no change in the way the Cold Storage battery is inserted into and removed from the MX7CS battery well. MX7CS Battery Life – minimum 2.5 hours while the unit is roaming, powered on with ambient temperature
Snowflake Decal
A Cold Storage device has a snowflake decal between the touch screen and the keypad. The decal is located to the left when the mobile device screen is facing forward. Due to the heating elements overlaying the scan aperture, scanning may require the user to move the MX7CS scan aperture closer to the bar code for good scan results.
Heating Elements
Heating elements activate when ambient temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). Use the stylus when performing screen touch functions. There may be some condensation as the MX7CS moves in and out of cold storage areas. The condensation on the touch screen and the scan aperture quickly dissipates.
The touch screen heating elements and scanner aperture heating elements may be visible when the MX7CS is tilted slightly. No user interaction is required to turn the heating elements on/off. Stylus taps on the touch screen function normally.
