    Per IEC 801-1 CMOS Battery The LXE VX6 has a permanent 190 mAh Lithium battery installed to maintain time, date and CMOS setup information. The lithium battery is not user serviceable and should last five years with normal use before it requires replacement.

  • Page 60: Vehicle 12-80Vdc Direct Connection

    Note: Correct electrical polarity is required for safe and proper installation. Connecting the cable to the VX6 with the polarity reversed will cause the VX6’s fuse to be blown.
