Docking and Undocking the MX9

When the MX9 is in Suspend Mode it wakes up when it is docked in a powered cradle. There is no change in mode state settings or behavior when the MX9 is docked in a cradle without a power source.

MX9 mode states while the MX9 is in a powered cradle e.g., suspend, resume, display backlight, etc., are managed by the MX9 OS Power settings.

If the cradle is not permanently attached to the work surface, stabilize the cradle with one hand while inserting or removing the MX9 with the other hand.

The MX9 is inserted into the charging pocket with the keypad facing forward.

Dock the MX9

Remove any cables attached to the I/O port in the base of the MX9.

Carefully press the MX9 straight down into the docking bay until the multi-pin connector at the base of the MX9 clicks into place with the multi-pin charging/communication connector at the bottom of the docking bay. The MX9 cradle is designed to secure the MX9 facing front.

The cradle’s Docked LED illuminates.

Undock the MX9

Remove the MX9 from the cradle by pulling it straight up and out of the docking bay. If necessary, brace the cradle with one hand while the other hand removes the MX9.

The cradle's Docked LED turns Off.

Inserting / Removing a Spare Battery from the Desktop Cradle

Prerequisites: The steps outlined in Assemble/Attach the AC Power Adapter (page 14-6)have been completed and the cradle has a dependable power source. The cradle has been bolted to a stable surface, if desired.

Note: Do not drop or slam the spare battery into the charging pocket. Damage may result.
