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

Nickel-based 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.

NiMH 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.

External Power Supplies

External power supplies are available for the following:

•any I/O cable with a power connector

•desk cradle

•vehicle cradle

•car power adapter (CLA)

•Battery Charger

The indoor power supplies (e.g., AC/DC Adapters) use IEC320-C 14 AC power connectors.

The car power adapter uses the cigarette lighter adapter (CLA) and is powered by the vehicle's automotive 12V battery. The adapter power supply converts the input voltage into a voltage suitable to power the MX9 and charge the unit's internal backup battery.

The vehicle mount cradle uses a 36V, 24-60V or 70-150V DC-DC power supply.

Note: The MX9, desk cradle and battery charger use the same external power supply.

AC/DC 15V Power Supply

The MX9 receives AC/DC power from the AC/DC (15 VDC - 4 Amp - 60 Watt) Power Supply. The MX9 external power connection is part of the serial cable assembly and the USB cable assembly.

The AC/DC Power Supply is connected to a wall outlet then to the power cable secured to the base of the MX9.

Note: The Honeywell-approved AC Power Adapter is only intended for use in a 25°C (77°F) maximum ambient temperature environment.

The indoor power supply has a IEC320-C 14 AC power connector.

When the power supply is receiving AC/DC power from the wall outlet, an LED on the power supply illuminates green. The green LED indicates the power supply is ready for use.

This AC/DC power supply is designated for:

•the MX9 I/O port multi-cables

•the MX9 desktop cradle

•the MX9 battery Charger

There are specific DC/DC power supply adapters for the MX9 vehicle cradle; do not use any other power supply with the vehicle cradle.

Car Power Adapter

The MX9 Car Power Adapter is a self-contained unit. The cable has one and a half feet of coiled cord and one and a half feet of straight cord. The coiled portion is on the end of the adapter. An LED on the adapter illuminates when the car power adapter is receiving vehicle input power.

The cigarette lighter adapter contains a power supply which converts the vehicle’s nominal 12V to 15V, a voltage suitable to power the MX9 and charge the MX9 battery.
