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,
