The MX7 Cold Storage device is designed to operate normally when reading bar codes and moving from, and into, cold storage
warehouses, freezers and vehicles where the temperatures may vary between -30°C and 5°C (-22°F and 41°F).

Cold Storage Battery

There is no change in the way the Cold Storage battery is inserted into and removed from the MX7CS battery well. MX7CS
Battery Life – minimum 2.5 hours while the unit is roaming, powered on with ambient temperature -10°C (14°F) or above,
Display backlight turned on, Keypad LED backlight on, radio connected to Access Point, and scanner decoding bar codes. The
Li-Ion main battery (MX7A381BATT / MX7392BATT) has been designed specifically for the MX7 Cold Storage device. This
1250mAh battery has a blue label while the standard MX7 2200mAh battery has a white (MX7A380BATT / MX7393BATT)
label.

Snowflake Decal

A Cold Storage device has a snowflake decal between the touchscreen and the keypad. The decal is located to the left when
the mobile device screen is facing forward. Due to the heating elements overlaying the scan aperture, scanning may require the
user to move the MX7CS scan aperture closer to the bar code for good scan results.

Heating Elements

Heating elements activate when ambient temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). Use the stylus when performing screen touch
functions. There may be some condensation as the MX7CS moves in and out of cold storage areas. The condensation on the
touchscreen and the scan aperture quickly dissipates.
The touchscreen heating elements and scanner aperture heating elements may be visible when the MX7CS is tilted slightly.
No user interaction is required to turn the heating elements on/off. Stylus taps on the touchscreen function normally.
