Chapter 4: Software

Operating System

There are several different aspects to the setup and configuration of the MX8. Many of the setup and configuration settings are
dependent upon the optional features such as hardware and software installed on the mobile device. The examples found in
this section are to be used as examples only, because the configuration of your specific MX8 may vary. The following sections
provide a general reference for the configuration of the MX8 and some of its optional features.
Note: Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX8 to conserve the main battery and to ensure the backup
battery is charged.
