The Power Adapter
Important: The MX2 is not designed to use alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries.
Figure 5-3 US Dock Power Adapter
You can use a 9-volt power adapter with the Single Dock to recharge the batteries in the MX2.
Power adapters are available from LXE.
Attach the small, round plug of the power adapter to the power input jack on the back of the
Single Dock. Plug the other end into an AC outlet or power strip. The red light-emitting diode
(LED) labeled POWER on the front panel of the Single Dock should light up.
The power adapter is used only to recharge the batteries in the MX2. However, if you do not use
it, the LED indicators on the Single Dock will not light up. (The READY light indicates that the
MX2 is properly inserted in the dock. The READY light will appear red when charging MX2
batteries and green when batteries are fully charged.)
Note: Use only a 9-volt power adapter supplied by LXE. Using another adapter can damage
the dock.
