Docking Cradles

Desktop Cradle

Note: Do not drop or slam the unit or the spare battery into the charging pockets. Damage to the contacts at the base of
the charging pockets may result. Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the charging pockets. Do not short circuit any of the
contacts in the charging pockets, as this action could result in injury or property damage.
The Desktop Cradle requires external AC power before battery charging and tethered scanning can commence. The cradle can
simultaneously charge the main battery in the docked MX9 and charge a spare main battery.
A fully depleted spare battery recharges in approximately four hours in the powered cradle. When the MX9 is docked in the
cradle, a spare battery can still be inserted in the spare battery charging pocket and both batteries are recharged at the same
time.
Place the desktop cradle on a stable surface out of the way of:
inclement weather conditions (water or high moisture),
l
extremely high concentrations of dust or wind blown debris,
l
accidental knocks, bumps or other shocks to the MX9 and the cradle.
l
Allow clearance above the cradle for an MX9 with a trigger handle for insertion ease. Allow clearance behind the cradle for
cable connection ease. Route cradle cables to ensure they are protected from jostling, tugging or being disconnected by
objects passing by.

Vehicle Cradle

Note: Do not drop or slam the unit into the docking bay. Damage to the contacts at the base of the
charging/communication pocket may result. Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the charging pocket. Do not short circuit
any of the contacts in the charging pocket, as this action could result in injury or property damage.
Using a cable adapter, the MX9 Vehicle Mount Cradle receives power from the vehicle's power supply. RAM ball vehicle
mounting hardware is available that supports the MX9 cradle and mounts to overhead, dash, roof support pillars, and front
screen positions on fork trucks or pallet jacks.
Vehicle input power,when secured to the vehicle cradle, passes to the MX9 in the docking bay. The MX9 operating system
manages main battery charging, I/O interfaces through the connectors on the back of the cradle and all communication options.
For operation on a vehicle with greater than 12V, DC-DC accessory power supplies are available in 9-36V, 24-60V, and 60-
150V ranges.
The vehicle's input power does not pass straight through to the MX9. The unconditioned 12V input power is boosted to 15V
before being passed through to the MX9.
Cradle installation and use is covered in more detail in the MX9 Cradle Reference Guide.
