User Access Panel

The User Access Panel cover can be removed to access the storage slots available on the VX6. The available slots and any
factory installed cards in those slots depend upon the system configuration ordered.

Remove User Access Panel Cover

1. Turn the VX6 off and detach the power cable.
2. Loosen the three (3) Phillips head screws securing the access panel cover so the cover can be removed. The screws
are a captive part of the cover and cannot be removed.
3. Move the tethered cover aside to access the card slots. Use care not to unplug or damage the antenna leads. If the VX6
has an internal antenna, it is secured to the inside of the cover.
Although some cards can be hot swapped, the VX6 is not environmentally sealed while the access panel cover is
removed to hot swap cards. Honeywell recommends powering off the VX6 and disconnecting the power cable
before removing the user access panel.
