E-EQ-MX6PCOGWW-C-ARC MX6 PPC User’s Guide
Quick Start
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new MX6 PPC is pre-configured
and the trigger handle or handstrap (optional) are installed.
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 charges takes 8 hours (new batteries only).
The main battery can be charged in one of three ways –
• either while in the MX6 PPC in a powered docking cradle, or
• with the main battery in a powered MX6 battery charger, or
• in-unit battery charging using the Communications cable with power supply.
The sequence of events for a new MX6 PPC is:
1. Insert a fully charged battery. (Always put a fully charged battery in the MX6 PPC at the
beginning of the shift or work day.)
2. Turn the MX6 PPC 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 PPC Reference Guide.
Note: Before setting WPA on an MX6 running the Pocket PC 2002 operating system,
an OS upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003 is required.
8. Edit the terminal emulation parameters, if necessary. Refer to the RFTerm Reference Guide.
9. Tap Start | HHP Utils | 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.
