PCMCIA Radio Card
When removing or installing the radio, protect the MX3 internal components and the radio
from electrostatic discharge.
Slot 1 accepts the following PCMCIA radio cards:
• LXE 6500 System 2.4GHz radio
• LXE 6200 System 900 MHz radio
Slot 0 accepts the following PCMCIA radio card:
• LXE 6400 System 2.4GHz radio
When installed, the radio will not work unless the proper radio driver software is
installed in the computer. (See Chapter 4, “System Configuration”.)
Make sure the proper software is pre-loaded and a compatible radio network is
available.
Preparation
LXE recommends that installation of the radio card be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
Using a screwdriver, loosen the endcap and set both the endcap and the screws aside.
Installation
1. Slide the PCMCIA Radio, connector side first, into the slot until it seats.
2. The radio antenna connector must be positioned up and toward the front of the MX3 (near the
display). If the PCMCIA Radio is difficult to seat, remove the Radio card, turn it around and
re-install.
3. Gently snap the antenna cable into the connector on the PCMCIA Radio. Use caution not to
damage either the antenna cable connector or the connector on the radio.
Note: A 6400 System radio has one antenna cable. A 6500 System antenna has two
antenna cables. Connect all antenna cables to the PCMCIA radio.
4. Reinstall the endcap.
Removal
1. Disconnect the antenna cable from the radio, using caution not to damage the radio connector
or the antenna cable connector.
2. Move the cable aside and grasp the top of the radio card and pull straight up until the radio is
removed from the MX3 unit.
If you anticipate keeping the radio card out of the MX3 for a long period of time place it in an
enclosed storage container. Store in an area that is protected from dirt, moisture, and electrostatic
contact.
