Flash Cards
Note: When removing or installing SD cards, protect the MX7 internal components from
electrostatic discharge.
Make sure the proper software is pre-loaded and radio cards are properly configured.
The SD flash card under the main battery pack is intended to store program CAB files, MX7
utilities, the registry and the registry backup information.
The internal SD flash card supports a FAT file system, via a special device driver, and appears to
the OS as a folder. This allows the contents to be manipulated via the standard Windows CE
interface. Operating system files are hidden on this drive with a terminal unique identifier in the
internal flash, to prevent them being accidentally erased by a user. In addition, the registry hive
files will be stored on this device.

Note: As there is no card management software loaded on the MX7, LXE recommends
purchasing preformatted Flash cards from LXE as the cards have been tested and
qualified for use by the MX7 (see “Accessories”). LXE does not support other types of
Flash cards at this time. Contact your LXE representative for the latest information
about the availability of LXE qualified flash cards for the MX7.
The MX7 has one internal SD Flash card port.
The radio drivers are stored on the card in the SD slot (under the main battery pack). During the
boot process, the bootloader loads the operating system, the radio driver and any saved
parameters.
