Getting Started
Note: When your MX1 is pre-configured, the radio card or PCMCIA data card and endcaps
are assembled by LXE to your specifications. You may only need to install a handle or
handstrap.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. handstrap or handle) and a power source.
LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit
surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, MX1, and components from electrostatic
discharge.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Insert fully charged battery.
2. Install accessories.
3. Power the MX1 on.
4. Configure the software.
Note: New batteries must be fully charged prior to use. This process takes approximately three
hours per battery. LXE batteries are charged using LXE Battery Charger/Analyzers.
Refer to the documentation received with the battery charger / analyzer for
operating instruction and technical information.
