The main battery can be recharged while it is in the MX9:

by connecting the MX9 AC power adapter to the I/O connector at the base of the MX9.

by docking the MX9 in a powered desk cradle

by docking the MX9 in a powered vehicle cradle

or by connecting the car power adapter (CLA) to the I/O connector at the base of the MX9.

Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the computer’s internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and internal battery. Frequent connection to an external power source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain internal battery charge status as the internal battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing main battery.

When set to off, the keypad backlight does not turn on during Suspend/Restart or reboots.

When set to on, the keypad backlight follows the display backlight settings. The keypad backlight turns off when the display backlight dims.

Toggle Vibrate Indicator

The MX9 vibration motor is activated when a scan is completed successfully (good scan vibration) or with a failure (scan key released before good scan, timeout, or rejected because of Data Options configuration).

The vibrations can be detected under the hand strap or through the trigger handle.

Toggle the vibrate indicator on or off by tapping the desired radio button for Good Scan Vibration and Bad Scan Vibration.
