E-EQ-MX1RG-D MX1 Reference Guide
Install Pistol Grip Handle (Optional)
The MX1 can be purchased with a customer-installable pistol grip handle. The handle allows the
operator to hold the unit and activate the scanner with one hand. The handle is built of a durable
and flexible plastic that is designed to detach from the MX1 if the unit is dropped.
Figure 1-8 Pistol-Grip Handle and Contacts on the Back of the MX1
The top of the handle features a cradle arrangement with plastic tabs on each side that are
designed to mate with the MX1 and provide a firm grip on the case. The handle features an
integral trigger that is connected to the MX1 unit through contacts on the back of the MX1. The
trigger contacts mate with contacts on the back of the MX1 when the handle is installed. When the
handle is not installed, the MX1 contacts should be covered with the protective label delivered
with the MX1.
Note: If a handstrap is installed, the handle trigger contacts are hidden by the handstrap.
Remove the handstrap before installing the pistol-grip handle.
Preparation
Remove the protective adhesive Mylar label covering the handle contacts on the back of the MX1
unit. The contacts should be clean and free from obstructions. The MX1 unit must not have any
other handle or strap installed. If a handle or strap is installed, remove it at this time.
