Important Battery Information
•
Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX6 PPC is
always drawing power from the batteries (On).
•
New batteries must be fully charged prior to use. Individual battery packs can be charged
in a powered single bay charger or a 4-bay battery charger.
•
When a new battery is installed in the MX6 PPC for the first time (or when the backup
battery is completely depleted), the Time and Date must be re-set.
•
When disposing of the MX6 PPC main battery, the following precautions should be
observed:
The battery should be disposed of properly. The battery should not be disassembled or
crushed. The battery should not be heated above 212°F (100°C) or incinerated.
Important: If the main battery has been out of the MX6 PPC for an extended period of
time or becomes fully discharged or dead, a fully charged backup battery will
last for up to 24 hours. If this happens, the device will hard reset the next time
power is applied from either AC power or a charged main battery. A hard reset
will cause loss of data and custom programs. Always store unused MX6 PPC’s
with a fully charged main battery pack installed. The MX6 PPC requires
periodic connection to an external power source to maintain an optimum
backup battery charged status.The MX6 PPC batteries will not re-charge
unless a main battery is present in the device.
The “MX6 PPC User’s Guide” contains MX6 PPC user instruction and information.

vehicle mounted docking cradle.
