External Power Supply for MX5 and Cradles The MX5 DC adapter can be plugged into either of the D26 pin connectors on the
bottom of the MX5.
The cradle power jack is located on the back of the cradle. The MX5 is to be
used with a power supply.
When the MX5 is receiving power through a cradle connected to external power,
the cradle's Status LED is illuminated.
Batteries Note: On first use the MX5 batteries should be charged with an external power
source (i.e. AC Adapter) – 3 hours for the Main Battery and 7 hours for
the Backup Battery. New Main Battery packs alone must be charged prior
to first use -- this process takes up to four hours in an LXE Multi-
Charger.
The MX5 computer is designed to work with a 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 MX5
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.
Main Battery
The main battery has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand
the ordinary rigors of an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting
the battery making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any
power source other than an LXE Multi-charger or MX5 unit.
The fasteners are connected to the Main Battery pack and remain with the
Battery Pack through it’s life cycle. Contact your LXE representative if the
fasteners must be replaced for any reason.
Backup Battery
The internal Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) coin cell backup battery provides power
to the unit for up to 24 hours when the main battery has been depleted,
