MX7 Base Plate Replacement Kit

Introduction

The base plate, and the gasket underneath the base plate, on the MX7 may have to be upgraded

before the MX7 is docked in a cradle. In rare cases in which the MX7 will never be docked in an

MX7 cradle, the MX7 does not require a base plate upgrade.

Related Equipment

• LXE MX7 with or without a handle, hand strap or protective boot.

• LXE MX7 Cradle, Vehicle mount and Desk mount.

• LXE MX7 Rubber Boot, upgraded, fits with the upgraded base plate (Part #161315 located

inside the rubber boot. Black boot – #161532. Yellow boot - #161533)

Base Plate Replacement Procedure

Identify Your MX7 Base Plate

If your MX7 has a stainless steel base plate with a pinhole above and below the screws next to the

input/output port, similar to the picture shown below:

The MX7 can be docked in a cradle without requiring the base plate upgrade.

If your MX7 has a base plate that looks like either of these two pictures (and without the

pinholes):

The base plate must be upgraded with the contents of this kit before the MX7 is placed in a cradle.

Upgrade The Base Plate

Equipment Required: Phillips screwdriver (not supplied by LXE)

• You will need a torquing tool capable of torquing up to 2.5 in/lb

• LXE recommends the upgrade be performed on a clean, well-lit stable surface.

• Protect the MX7 internal components from static discharge.

• The base plate should not be replaced in a harsh, wet, or dirty environment.

Remove the Base Plate and Gasket

1. If the MX7 is On, place the MX7 in Suspend mode by quickly pressing and releasing the

Power button or by tapping Start | Suspend with the stylus on the touchscreen.

2. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws holding the base plate to the bottom

of the MX7. Set the screws aside in the order in which they were removed. Referring to

the photos on the previous page, the flat head screws are on either side of the input/output

port and the pan head screws are beside the plastic rim.

3. Remove the base plate, and the gasket underneath the base plate, and set them aside.

Note

: Do not use destructive force or move the input/output connector when removing

the original base plate.

Do not remove anything else from the base of the MX7.

Install the Upgrade

1. Place the gasket in the base plate opening.

2. Place the base plate on top of the gasket in the base plate opening.

3. The flat head screws are on either side of the input/output port and the pan head screws

are beside the plastic rim.

4. Using a torquing screwdriver, insert the screws in the correct screw holes, torquing each

to 1.5 in/lb (0.168 n/M) to 2.5 in/lb (0.282 n/M).

The MX7 is ready for use.

Periodically check the connection of the base plate to the MX7 and re-torque if necessary.
