Batteries
When the main battery has lost most of its charge, an icon of an “empty” or “half-empty” battery
appears.
The MX6 also may be programmed to emit a beep at intervals when the battery is low. When you
see the empty-battery icon or hear the warning beeps, you should turn the unit off and recharge or
replace the main battery as soon as possible. A fully charged backup battery will retain all data in
memory for 30 minutes while the main battery is out of the unit. After you recharge or replace the
battery and turn the unit back on, it returns to wherever you were in your application when you
turned it off. When the MX6 is to be stored for an extended period, LXE recommends leaving a
fully charged main battery pack in the MX6.

Main Battery
The MX6 uses a 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery. The main battery is 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 the LXE MX6 dock. This product is not designed to use alkaline batteries.
