Chapter 1: Introduction

The HX2 is a small, lightweight mobile computer designed to be worn on a person’s arm or waist. The HX2 is most useful for applications that require computational support while the user's hands are actively engaged with the physical environment, including piece picking to carts, containers or conveyers; case picking; parcel moves; and broken case activities.
Note: Contact Technical Assistance for upgrade availability if your application or control panels are not the same as the
application or control panels presented in this guide.

End User License Agreement (EULA)

When a new HX2 starts up a EULA is displayed on the touch screen. It remains on the screen until the Accept or Decline button is tapped with a stylus.
Tap the Accept button to accept the EULA terms and the HX2 continues the startup process. The EULA is not presented to the user again.
Tap the Decline button to decline the EULA and the HX2 will reboot. It will continue to reboot until the Accept button is tapped with the stylus.
Note: The EULA will be presented after any operating system upgrade or re-installation, including language-specific
operating systems.
1-1

Important Battery Information

Note: Backup Battery -- If the HX2 has been without a power source (connected to a fully charged tethered battery or
docked in a powered desktop cradle) for an extended period of time or if HX2 external power sources become completely discharged or dead, a fully charged backup battery will last for up to 15 minutes. If the backup battery is fully discharged, the HX2 will reset as soon as it is docked in a powered desktop cradle or connected to a fully charged tethered battery. A reset will cause loss of data and custom programs in RAM. Always store unused HX2s with a fully charged tethered battery. If possible, ensure the HX2 is periodically docked in a powered desktop cradle to maintain an optimum backup battery charged status.
To check battery status, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Battery tab.
l Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX2 is always drawing power from the
batteries (On).
l New Standard / Extended batteries must be fully charged prior to use.
l Whenever possible, place the HX2 in a powered desktop cradle to conserve tethered battery power and recharge the
backup battery.
l When a new battery is tethered to the HX2 for the first time (or after the backup battery is depleted), the Time and Date
reverts to factory default values.
l Backup battery replacement is performed by Honeywell.
The HX2 Desktop Cradle can charge two standard batteries in less than four hours or two extended batteries in less than 8 hours in the battery wells behind the HX2 docking bay. The cradle requires an external power source before battery charging can occur.
The HX2 Battery Charger can charge up to six batteries at the same time. Each charging bay can accept either type of battery. The Battery Charger requires an external power source before charging/analyzing can occur.

Li-Ion Battery

When disposing of the tethered batteries, the following precautions should be observed: The battery should be disposed of properly. The battery should not be disassembled or crushed. The battery should not be heated above 212°F (100°C) or incinerated.

Continuous Scan Mode

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner > Barcode Tab
Enabling Continuous Scan Mode will ensure the laser is always on and decoding.
Caution: Laser beam is emitted continuously. Do not stare into the laser beam.

Reboot

When the Windows CE desktop is displayed or an application begins, the power up (or reboot) sequence is complete.

Warm Boot

Start > Run
A warm boot function does not affect the operating system, but data and programs in RAM are cleared, and registry changes, if any, are saved. Network and Bluetooth connections will need to be re-established.
Tap Start > Run and type WARMBOOT.EXE or WARMBOOT. This command is not case-sensitive.1Tap the OK button. This process takes less than 15 seconds. Temporary data not saved is lost.
Note: There may be slight delays while the wireless client connects to the network, re-authorization for voice-enabled
applications completes, Wavelink Avalanche management of the HX2 startup completes, or Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish.

Cold Boot

Start > Run
The Cold Boot function reboots the device, erases all registry data, and user-specified settings. The factory default settings are restored when the HX2 powers on again.
Tap Start > Run and type COLDBOOT.EXE or COLDBOOT. This command is not case-sensitive. Tap the OK button.
Note: Because of the extreme nature of cold boot, use this command only as an emergency (or when instructed to do so as
part of a specific HX2 procedure).

HX2 Help

Can’t change the date/time or adjust the volume.
Touch screen is not accepting stylus taps or needs recalibration.
HX2 seems to lockup as soon as it is warm booted.
New HX2 main batteries don't last more than a few hours.
Keep losing ActiveSync connection between my host computer and the HX2.

The text typed in the text box can be upper or lower case or a combination of upper and lower case letters.
AppLock is installed and may be running in User Mode on the HX2. AppLock user mode restricts access to the control panels.
Press <Ctrl>+<Esc> to force the Start Menu to appear. Use the tab, backtab and arrow keys to move the cursor from element to element.
There may be slight delays while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for voice-enabled applications complete, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re­establish. When the desktop appears or an application begins, the HX2 is ready for use.
New batteries must be fully charged prior to first use. Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and never just stop working. This is important to remember – the HX2 is always ‘on’ even when in the Suspend state and draws a small amount of battery power at all times.
When the HX2 enters Suspend Mode, all connections are closed to save battery power. When the HX2 wakes up, if ActiveSync connection does not automatically re-establish, disconnect the cable, wait 1-2 seconds and reconnect the cable.

Chapter 2: Hardware

System Hardware

802.11b/g and a/b/g Wireless Client

The HX2 has an 802.11x network card that supports diversity with two internal antennas. The CPU board does not allow hot swapping the network card. Adjusting power management on the network card is set to static dynamic control.
WEP, WPA and LEAP are supported.

Central Processing Unit

The CPU is a 400MHz Intel XScale PXA255 CPU. The operating system is Microsoft® Windows® CE 5. The OS image is stored on an internal SD flash card and is loaded into DRAM for execution.
XScale turbo mode switching is supported and turned on by default.
The HX2 supports the following I/O components of the core logic:
l One SD card slot, inaccessible to the end-user.
l One TTL serial port designed to interface with ring scanner only.
l One RS232 serial port accessible via the desktop cradle.
l USB master accessible via the desktop cradle.
l USB client accessible via the desktop cradle.
l One Digitizer Input port (Touch screen).

System Memory

The 400MHz CPU configuration supports 128MB SDRAM, 128MB SD card. SD card location is inaccessible to the end user.
The system optimizes for the amount of SDRAM available. The operating system executes out of RAM.
Internal flash is used for boot loader code and system low-level diagnostics code. Bootloader code is validated at system startup. The UUID required by CE 5.0 is stored in the boot flash. A second copy of the bootloader code is stored on the internal SD Flash drive, so that if a damaged bootloader is detected, it may be re-flashed correctly.
Internal SD Memory Card

Power Supply

The HX2 uses two batteries for operation. A Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery supplies power to the HX2 only when tethered to the HX2. The main battery is either the 2000 mAh (Standard) or the 4000 mAh (Extended) battery. Only one main battery can be tethered to the HX2 at a time. The batteries can be hot-swapped after the HX2 is placed in Suspend mode.
The internal backup battery is a 50 mAh Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) battery. The backup battery is recharged indirectly by the HX2 with a tethered battery. Recharging maintains the backup battery near full charge at all times. When the backup battery is fully drained, it may take up to 5 hours to recharge. The capability to discharge the backup battery is provided (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Battery) to allow the user to condition the backup battery in order to recover full battery capacity. The backup battery must be replaced by qualified service personnel. The backup battery has a minimum 2 year service life.
When the HX2 is docked in a powered desktop cradle, the HX2 receives USB/serial signals through the cradle connector on the bottom of the HX2 and the cradle connector in the HX2 desktop cradle docking bay. The HX2 must be firmly seated in the docking bay before USB/serial communication can occur. An extra standard or extended Li-Ion battery pack can be recharged in the powered desktop cradle while the HX2 is powered by the cradle. The standard battery is fully recharged in a powered cradle in 4 hours. The extended battery is fully recharged in 8 hours.
Note: Docked HX2 -- An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC/DC adapter connected to the HX2 desktop cradle)
transfers signals from the USB ports in the front of the cradle and the serial port on the back of the cradle, to the HX2. HX2 frequent connection to a fully charged tethered battery, is recommended to maintain backup battery charge status, as the backup battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing tethered battery.
The HX2 Battery Charger is designed to simultaneously charge up to six standard HX2Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Packs in less than four hours, depending upon battery pack temperature and ambient conditions. The Extended battery packs require less than 8 hours. The HX2 Battery Charger can charge up to five Standard and Extended batteries when they are not tethered to the HX2.
