Insert Fully Charged Battery
Note: The unit will not function unless the battery is in place and securely latched. Be sure to
place the MX6 in suspend before removing the battery. If you don’t, you may lose all
unsaved data.
The main battery is located in a compartment on the back of the unit. To insert or replace the
battery, complete the following steps:
1. Tap the power key to place the MX6 in Suspend.
2. Detach the bottom hook of the elastic handstrap (if installed).
3. Press the battery locking tab up to release the main battery pack. The battery case serves
as the back cover for the battery well for the MX6.
4. Pull the battery up and out of the battery well with a hinge motion. Place the discharged
battery pack in a powered charging cradle or charger.
5. Tilt the end (without the latch) of the fully charged battery pack into the upper end of the
battery compartment, and firmly press the other end (with the latch) until it is fully
inserted into the battery compartment.
6. Push down on the battery pack until it taps into place.
7. Replace the handstrap hook in its holder.
Note: The battery should not be replaced in a dirty or harsh environment. When the battery is
out of the MX6, any dust or moisture that enters the battery compartment can get into the
main unit, potentially causing damage.
Low Battery Condition
When the main battery is low, a dialog box pops up with an Alert to charge the battery. The
window can be closed, but the dialog box will continue to pop up before the battery reaches the
Battery Dead/Off condition.
Main Low
Main Very Low
Icons are visible in the taskbar indicating battery strength.
When the main battery reaches the Battery Dead condition, the battery sensor initiates a shutdown
of all applications and closes the RF network connection. When the main battery is replaced with a
fully charged main battery, the MX6 will resume as before.
