Main Battery
Note: New batteries must be fully charged prior to use.
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.
A depleted battery can be hot-swapped with a fully charged battery after the MX9 is placed in Suspend mode. A battery charge
level indicator on the taskbar displays the present battery charge to within 15% of the current battery capacity.
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: When the main battery and backup power system 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.

External Power Supplies
External power supplies are available for the following:
l any I/O cable with a power connector
l desk cradle
l vehicle cradle
l car power adapter (CLA)
l Battery Charger
The indoor power supplies (e.g., AC/DC Adapters) use IEC320-C 14 AC power connectors.
The car power adapter uses the cigarette lighter adapter (CLA) and is powered by the vehicle's automotive 12V battery. The
adapter power supply converts the input voltage into a voltage suitable to power the MX9 and charge the unit's internal backup
battery.
The vehicle mount cradle uses a 36V, 24-60V or 70-150V DC-DC power supply.
Note: The MX9 and desk cradle and battery charger use the same external power supply.
