Using the Charging Multi-Dock

Introduction

The MX8 Charging Multi-dock is designed to secure the MX8 in the docking bay and to charge the main battery in the MX8
at the same time. A powered Charging Multi-dock can simultaneously recharge the main batteries in up to four MX8s. Each
docking bay can accept an MX8 with or without a protective boot and with or without a trigger handle or handstrap.
Wireless host/client communications can occur whether the Charging Multi-dock is receiving external power or not as
wireless functions draw power from the main battery in the MX8.
This device is intended for indoor use only and requires an indoor AC power source. This device is not approved for use in
hazardous locations.
Note: The MX8 must have a main battery installed when it is docked.
The following list outlines, in a general way, the process to follow when preparing the MX8 Multi-dock for use. Refer to the
following sections in this document for more details.
1. Place the Multi-dock on a stable surface.
2. Install / Remove the Docking Bay Adapter Cup.
3. Assemble the AC Adapter.
4. The charging Multi-dock is ready for use.

Installing / Removing the Docking Bay Adapter Cups

Equipment: Phillips screwdriver and torquing tool (not supplied by Honeywell). You will need a torquing tool capable of
torquing up to 6 (+/- .5) in/lb. Use a clean, well-lit stable surface.
The charging multi-dock is shipped with the docking bay adapter cups pre-installed. If the MX8 has a rubber boot, the
docking bay adapter cup must be removed before the MX8 is placed in the docking bay.
The charging multi-dock can secure an MX8 with a rubber boot (MX8402BOOT or MX8403BOOT) enclosing/protecting the
mobile device.
Before docking an MX8 without a rubber boot in a docking bay, re-install the docking bay adapter cup.

Installing

The adapter cup is installed facing in one direction. Put the adapter cup in a docking bay, aligning the screw hole in the
adapter cup with the screw hole in the docking bay. Periodically check the connection of the adapter cup and re-torque
if necessary.
Using a torquing screwdriver, insert the single captive screw in the adapter cup screw hole, and torque the screw to 6
in/lbs +/- .5 in/lbs.

Removing

Remove the adapter cup by unscrewing the single captive screw at the front of the adapter cup. Place both the adapter
cup and the screw in a protected, safe area until needed.
