E-EQ-MX6OGWW-E-ARC MX6 User’s Guide
Quick Start
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new MX6 is pre-configured and
the trigger handle or optional handstrap is installed.
Note: Review the software/hardware versions of the MX6 by selecting Start | Utils (or Power
Tools) | SysInfo. Several sections in this guide display information for a specific
software version only.
In General
First – charge the main battery pack and the internal backup battery completely. A main battery
pack charge takes four hours and the backup battery charge takes 8 hours (new batteries only).
The main battery can be charged in one of three ways –
• either while in the MX6 in a powered docking cradle, or
• with the main battery in a powered MX6 battery multicharger, or
• in-unit battery charging using the Communications cable connected to an external power
supply.
The sequence of events for a new MX6 is:
1. Insert a fully charged battery. (Always put a fully charged battery in the MX6 at the
beginning of the shift or work day.)
2. Turn the MX6 on by pressing the Power key.
3. Align (calibrate) the touchscreen.
4. Complete the simple exercise showing how to use the stylus and pop-up menus.
5. Set the time zone for your location. Please wait while programs install.
6. When the Today screen is displayed, tap the Clock icon and set the correct date and time.
7. Set the wireless radio parameters, if necessary. Refer to the “MX6 Reference Guide”.
8. Edit the terminal emulation parameters, if necessary. Refer to the “RFTerm Reference
Guide”.
9. Tap Start (or the
) | Utils (or Power Tools) | RegBackup to permanently save your
settings.
If you remove the battery or the battery fails, there is a 30 minute window in which to insert a
charged main battery before the backup battery fails and the contents of the Flash memory are
lost.
Troubleshooting
Can’t align the screen, change
the date/time or adjust the
volume.
AppLock is installed and running on the MX6. AppLock
restricts access to the control panels. Contact your System
Administrator.
