Connect External Power Supply
Note: LXE highly recommends using the MX5X connected to AC power whenever possible.
The MX5X receives AC/DC power from the US AC/DC 12V Power Supply or when docked in a
powered MX5 Cradle.
The MX5X accepts the power cable in either COM 1 or COM 4 port. The MX5 cradle accepts the
power cable in the port marked Power at the back of the cradle.
The A/C power cable is not included with the Power Supply, please contact your LXE
representative for replacement power cables. When the power cable is connected to a wall outlet
and the Power Supply, the ON indicator on the Power Supply illuminates green.

Note: The External Power Supply for MX5X is not approved for sale in China.
1. Squeeze the sides of the power connector and push the power cable
connector into either MX5X port until a click is heard. The click means the
connector is seated firmly.
2. The MX5X CHGR LED above the keypad illuminates when the device is
receiving external power through the COM port connected to the power
supply.
The main battery recharges when the MX5X is connected to an external
power source.
Note: When the MX5X is receiving power through a cradle connected to external power the
MX5’s CHGR LED is illuminated. When the MX5X is connected to an external power
supply, and the main battery pack is charging, the Battery Charge LED flashes green.
