Attaching The Trigger Handle - Honeywell MX8 User Manual

Attaching the Trigger Handle

Pressing the trigger on the trigger handle activates the integrated scanner and functions the same as the Scan key on the key-
pad. With the handle installed the Scan key on the keypad remains active. The trigger duplicates the operation.
• The handle is built of a durable, flexible plastic.
• The handle will not detach from the MX8 if the unit is dropped.
• The trigger handle is a mechanical device. Battery or external A/C power is not required
• The trigger handle does not need to be removed when replacing the main battery pack.
• The trigger handle might also be called a pistol grip.
Equipment needed: Torque wrench capable of torquing to 3±1 in/lb (.34±.11 N/m).
Either the trigger handle or the handstrap is attached, not both. Honeywell recommends that, in the absence of a trigger handle,
the handstrap be used at all times.
1. Place the MX8 with the screen facing down, on a flat stable surface.
2. Remove the handstrap, if installed.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Slide the locking tab on the underside of the trigger handle into the slot at the back of the battery compartment and press it
firmly into place.
5. Ensure that the battery can be inserted into the battery compartment before securing the trigger handle in place.
6. Attach the trigger handle to the MX8 (as shown above) with the screws provided.
7. Torque the pan head screws to 3±1 in/lb (.34±.11 N/m).
8. Secure the strap tether to the trigger handle.
9. Place the stylus in the stylus holder in the trigger handle.
10. Periodically check the trigger handle for wear and the connection for tightness. If the handle gets worn or damaged, it must
be replaced. If the trigger handle connection loosens, it must be tightened or replaced before the MX8 is placed in service.
