Desktop Docking Cradle 7
E-EQ-MX6DKRG-D-ARC MX6 Cradle Reference Guide
Battery Charging in the Desktop Cradle
The cradle must be connected to a power source before battery charging can begin.
The MX6 automatically powers on when inserted into a powered cradle. If the screen remains
blank, verify the MX6 is firmly seated in the charging pocket and the external power connection is
active. If the screen is still blank, perform an MX6 soft reset.
MX6 Main Battery charging status is reflected by the DOCK LED on the cradle. The DOCK LED
illuminates green when the MX6 is properly seated in the cradle. The cradle automatically begins
charging the main battery in the MX6 when the DOCK LED illuminates.
The power available to charge the batteries in a powered cradle is shared between the MX6 and a
spare battery pack (if installed). Charging priority is given to the Main Battery in the MX6.
If both Main Battery packs are fully depleted, the powered cradle charges the MX6 main battery
in approximately 3.5 hours and the spare main battery in approximately 4 hours.
When a spare battery is placed in the Battery Charging Slot and there is no MX6 in the cradle, a
few seconds will pass before the charging indicator starts to blink.
