    The MX6 PPC is powered by a 2000 mAh Lithium-Ion main battery pack and an internal backup battery. An MX6 PPC with a 35-key keypad is slightly different from the MX6 PPC with a 56-key keypad creating differences in keymapping. Portions of this guide will be split between the the 35-key device and the 56-key device.

  • Page 52: Battery

    When the main battery has lost most of its charge, an icon of an “empty” or “half-empty” battery appears. The MX6 PPC maintains the date and time for a minimum of two days using a main battery that has reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged backup battery. The MX6 PPC retains data, during a main battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.

  • Page 53: Main Battery Pack

    Battery Hot-Swapping When the main battery power level is low, the MX6 PPC will signal the user with a warning dialog box on the display, a specific toolbar icon and a warning tone. The low battery warning notice and tones continue until the main battery is replaced, the battery completely depletes, or the MX6 PPC is placed in a powered docking cradle.

  • Page 54: Backup Battery

    The backup battery is a 450 mAh Lithium (Li) battery that is factory installed in the unit. The need for recharging of the backup battery is automatically detected and controlled by the MX6 PPC. The energy needed to charge the backup battery comes from the main battery.

You can maintain an optimum charge level in the backup battery by connecting an external power source to the MX6 PPC every day.

  • Page 60: Software Load

    Software Load Note: Before setting WPA on an MX6 PPC using the Pocket PC 2002 operating system, an OS upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003 is required.
