    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.

    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.
