PCMCIA Radio Card
Note: When removing or installing the radio, protect the MX3-CE internal components and the
radio from electrostatic discharge.
Slot 0 accepts the LXE 6500 System 2.4GHz PCMCIA radio card or the LXE 6400 System
2.4GHz radio
Preparation
• LXE recommends that installation of the radio card be performed on a clean, well-lit
surface.
• Using a screwdriver, loosen the endcap and carefully remove or loosen all cables.
Disconnect the radio antenna from the radio card.
• Set both the endcap and the screws aside.
Installation
1. Slide the PCMCIA Radio, connector side first, into the slot until it seats.
2. The radio antenna connector must be positioned up and toward the front of the MX3-CE (near
the display). If the PCMCIA Radio is difficult to seat, remove the Radio card, turn it around
and re-install.
3. Gently snap the antenna cable into the connector on the PCMCIA Radio. Use caution not to
damage either the antenna cable connector or the connector on the radio.
Note: A 6400 System radio has one antenna cable. A 6500 System radio has two antenna
cables. Connect all antenna cables to the PCMCIA radio.
4. Reinstall the endcap.
Removal
1. Disconnect the antenna cable from the radio, using caution not to damage the radio connector
or the antenna cable connector.
2. Move the cable aside and grasp the top of the radio card and pull straight up until the radio is
removed from the MX3-CE unit.
If you anticipate keeping the radio card out of the MX3-CE for a long period of time place it in an
enclosed storage container. Store in an area that is protected from dirt, moisture, and electrostatic
contact.
