PCMCIA Radio Card
When removing or installing the radio, protect the MX1 internal components and the radio
from electrostatic discharge.
When installed, the radio will not work unless the proper radio driver software
is installed in the computer. (See Chapter 4, “System Configuration” and the
“PCMCIA Card Management and LXE DOS Computers User’s Guide”.)
Make sure the proper software is pre-loaded and a compatible radio network
is available. LXE recommends purchasing pre-formatted PC cards.
Preparation
If a handle is installed, remove it at this time.
Loosen the installed endcap to allow access to the PC card slot inside the MX1.
Do not remove the endcap.
Installation
1. Slide the PCMCIA Radio, connector side first until it seats.
2. The radio antenna connector must be positioned up and toward the front of the MX1 (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. All other system antennas have 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 MX1 unit.
If you anticipate keeping the radio card out of the MX1 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.
