Batteries
The MX9 is designed to work with a replaceable 2400 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack from Honeywell. Under normal
conditions it should last approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge.
MX9 low temperature 2100 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries (designed for freezer environments and with a blue label) have an
average use time of 4 hours before requiring a recharge.
During very heavy scanning or wireless transmitter use, the operating time of the battery may be less.
HazLoc versions of the MX9 require a screwdriver to remove the plate covering the battery release mechanism.
When the MX9 is docked in a powered cradle, the battery in the MX9 is recharged through the cradle connector in the docking
bay. An extra Li-Ion battery pack can be recharged in a powered desktop cradle. The battery is fully recharged in a powered
cradle in less than 4 hours. The MX9 can be Off, in use or in Suspend Mode while the battery is recharging.
Note: New main battery packs must be charged prior to use. This process takes up to four hours in an MX9 Battery Charger and
six hours when the MX9 is connected to external power.
Checking Battery Status
Open the Battery control panel. Battery voltage level, status and power remaining is displayed.
Main Battery Pack
The main battery pack has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary rigors of an industrial envi-
ronment. Exercise care when transporting the battery pack making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or
any power source other than the MX9 Multi-Charger or the MX9 unit.
When the main battery pack is properly installed in the unit it provides up to eight hours of operation depending upon use
and accessories installed. The battery pack is resistant to impact damage and falls of up to four feet to a concrete surface.
Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the scan-
ner or the wireless transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery recharges.
When the MX9 is docked in a powered cradle, the battery in the MX9 is recharged through the cradle connector in the dock-
ing bay. An extra Li-Ion battery pack can be recharged in a powered desktop cradle. The battery is fully recharged in a pow-
ered cradle in less than 4 hours. The MX9 can be Off, in use or in Suspend Mode while the battery is recharging.
Note: When the main battery and internal battery are fully depleted, the MX9 turns off. The operating system reverts to the
last saved registry settings when a fully powered battery is inserted and the MX9 is turned on.
Battery Hotswapping
Important: When the internal battery power is Low or Very Low connect the AC adapter to the MX9 before replacing the
main battery pack.
When the main battery power level is low, the MX9 will signal the user with the low battery warning indicator (the Status
LED remains a steady red) that continues until the main battery is replaced, the battery completely depletes, or external
power is applied to the MX9 using an AC Adapter.
You can replace the main battery by first placing the MX9 in Suspend Mode then removing the discharged main battery and
installing a charged main battery within a five minute time limit (or before the Super-cap internal battery depletes). When
the main battery is removed the MX9 enters Critical Suspend state; the MX9 remains in Suspend mode, the display is
turned off and the internal battery continues to power the unit for at least five minutes.
Though data is retained, the MX9 cannot be used until a charged main battery is installed. After installing the new battery,
press the Power key. Full operational recovery from Suspend can take several seconds while the client is reestablishing a
network link. If the internal battery depletes before a fully charged main battery can be inserted, the MX9 will turn Off.
Low Battery Warning
It is recommended that the main battery pack be removed and replaced when its energy depletes. When the main battery
Low Battery Warning appears (the Status LED remains a steady red) perform an orderly shut down, minimizing the opera-
tion of any installed devices and insuring any information is saved that should be saved.
Super-cap Internal Battery
The MX9 has an internal battery that is designed to provide limited-duration electrical power in the event of main battery
failure. The energy needed to maintain the internal battery near full charge at all times is drawn from the MX9 main battery.
It takes 5 minutes or less to fully charge the internal battery. The duration of internal battery life is dependent upon opera-
tion of the MX9, its features and any operating applications. The internal battery has a minimum service life of two years.
The Super-cap internal battery is replaced by Honeywell.
