E-EQ-MX6RG-E-ARC MX6 Reference Guide
Battery
The MX6 computer is designed to work with a rechargeable 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 MX6 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.
When the main battery has lost most of its charge, an icon of an “empty” or “half-empty” battery
appears.
The MX6 retains data, during a main battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.
Note: New main battery packs must be charged prior to use. This process takes up to four
hours in an LXE Multicharger and three hours when the MX6 is connected to external
power through it's power jack.
