Backup Battery
A fully charged Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) coin cell backup battery provides power to the unit
for up to 24 hours when the main battery has been depleted, removed or has failed. The backup
battery requires no user intervention. Replacement is performed by LXE. LXE recommends an
MX5 in storage have a charged main battery pack installed.
Note: This mobile device's backup battery maintains it’s charge by drawing power from the
main battery pack. Always store unused devices with a fully charged main battery pack
installed. LXE recommends an in-use mobile device be frequently connected to an
external power source to retain optimum power levels in the main battery pack and the
backup battery. When the backup battery and main battery pack are dead, the mobile
device reverts to setup defaults when a fully charged main battery pack is installed and
the device is powered On again.
Battery Maintenance Publication
The LXE publication “Getting the Most from Your Batteries” is available on the LXE Manuals
CD and is a single-source guide to battery management. The publication contains information
about battery recharging, conditioning, and other pertinent issues.
