Battery Hot-Swapping
Replace the main battery pack after first pressing the power key and placing the MX5 in Suspend
Mode. LXE recommends any work in progress be saved prior to replacing the main battery pack.
Simply replace the discharged main battery with a fully-charged main battery. The backup battery
will retain data during a main battery hot-swap.
Place the battery in the battery well, making sure the tabs on the bottom of the battery pack fit into
the slots at the bottom end of the battery well. Push the battery down into the battery well while
fastening the screws. Fasten the screws tight enough to allow the rubber gasket to create a
watertight seal. If the screws do not easily twist into the threaded opening, remove the battery and
repeat the process.

Backup Battery.
Figure 25 Insert Main Battery in Charging Cup
Insert the Main Battery into any charging cup in the Multi-Charger. The retaining clip will snap
the battery into place in the charging cup. Do not "slam" or drop the battery into the charging cup.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the main battery or the Multi-Charger.
Note: The main battery can also be charged in the secondary battery charging pocket in the
Desktop cradles. An MX5 does not need to be in the cradle at the time the secondary
charging pocket is being used.
