Note: If a hand strap is attached to the unit, there is no need to remove the strap – just open the
closed loop fastener. See sections titled “Attach Hand Strap” and “Install Pistol Grip
Handle” for instruction.
These illustrations show the battery compartment with the door removed. The Battery Contacts (1)
provide the electrical link between the battery pack and the computer. Care should be used when
inserting or removing the battery pack so that damage does not occur to the contacts. If damage
does occur, cease using the unit until inspection or repair can be performed by a qualified
technician.
The MX1 Battery Pack should be inserted tab (2) end first so that the tab mates with the hole at
the top of the battery compartment. The battery will then lay inside the battery compartment but
will not be secure. To secure the battery, the battery compartment door must be in place and the
door latch locked. This provides the tension necessary to hold the battery pack in place.
Note: If a handstrap is installed, the battery door latch is hidden by the handstrap. Loosen the
handstrap and shift it out of the way to have access to the battery door.
