  • Page 22: Saving Settings

    The Power key is located next to the <Z> key on the keypad. When a battery is inserted in the MX5 for the first time press the Power key. Tapping the Power key places the MX5 immediately in Suspend mode. Tapping the Power key again, or connecting to AC power, immediately returns the MX5 from Suspend.

  • Page 23: Insert Main Battery

    Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX5 to conserve the main battery and charge the backup battery. If the MX5 has a dead main battery and is as cold as the extended operating temperature’s lowest value, the unit must be warmed to above –20°C (-4°F) before installing a new main battery pack and pressing the On button.

  • Page 24: About Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and never just stop working. This is important to remember -- the MX5 is always 'on' even when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Tap the Windows icon | Settings | System | Handheld | Battery Info tab to check the battery status and power reading.

  • Page 25: Connect External Power Supply (Optional)

    The MX5 receives AC/DC power from the AC/DC 12V Power Supply or the MX5 Cradle. The MX5 DC power connection is located at the base of the MX5. The cradle power jack is located on the back of the cradle.
