About Lithium-Ion Batteries
Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and
never just stop working. This is important to remember -- the MX5 is always 'on' even when in the
Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Tap the Windows icon | Settings | System |
Handheld Settings tab to check the battery status and power reading.
The following chart is an approximation. Actual battery capacity will vary based on usage,
ambient temperature and peripherals drawing power from the MX5:
100% capacity 2800 mAh minimum
80% capacity 2240 mAh minimum
Deciding when to put a fully charged Main Battery pack in the MX5 is difficult to quantify
because it is very application specific. 1000 mAh may be the cutoff for one customer who uses the
computer frequently, while 500 mAh may be perfectly fine for a customer who occasionally uses
the computer. You need to determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for
your business practices and replace the Main Battery pack before that point.
Pocket PC Versions
Access: the Windows icon | Settings | System tab | Handheld | Versions tab
Your MX5 may be running either Pocket PC 2000 or Pocket PC 2002. This manual highlights the
differences in this way:
Pocket PC 2000 The menu path or command syntax for Pocket PC 2000 units only.
Pocket PC 2002 The menu path or command syntax for Pocket PC 2002 units only.
If there is no distinction between Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002, the instruction or
information is the same for both versions.
Note: LXE’s MX5 running Microsoft Windows Pocket PC 2000 or Pocket PC 2002 is obsolete.
The replacement mobile device for this product is the MX5 running Windows CE .NET.
