4 Quick Start
Quick Start
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. antenna, external keyboard and/or barcode scanner)
and a power source.
Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the VX7,
and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide
takes you through installation and operation of the LXE VX7.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket on vehicle and secure VX7 in Mounting Bracket
Assembly (see “Installation”, later in this manual).
2. Connect power cable to the VX7. The power cable can also be connected to a UPS
battery pack, which is then connected to the VX7.
3. Connect accessories to VX7, e.g. scanner, antenna, etc.
4. Secure all cables to the VX7 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps.
5. Turn the VX7 on.
6. When instructed, calibrate the touchscreen.
7. The screen may appear white while applications and drivers are loading. When
complete, set Date and Time (see the “VX7 Reference Guide”).
8. Configure radio (see the VX7 Reference Guide”).
9. Warmboot to ensure all registry settings are saved.
10. Device is ready for use.
The VX7 and its keyboard should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
• Does not obstruct the vehicle driver’s vision or safe vehicle operation.
• Can be easily accessed by anyone seated in the driver’s seat.
!
If your VX7 has AppLock installed, please contact your system administrator
for setup and processing information.
AppLock is configured by an administrator to limit general users to only certain
programs.
VX7 User’s Guide E-EQ-VX7OGWW-F
Quick Start 5
Troubleshooting
Can’t calibrate the touch
screen, change the date/time
or adjust the volume.
RFterm opens and runs upon
each cold reset and warm
reset.
The VX7 seems to lockup as
soon as it is warm booted.
AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock
restricts User access to running programs. Changes or
modifications require Administrator access.
Refer to AppLock in the VX7 Reference Guide for setup and
processing information.
Tap File | Exit to close the RFTerm application.
There may be small delays while the wireless client connects to
the network, authorization for Voxware-enabled applications
complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the VX7 startup
completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish.

Single application AppLock restricts a user to one application. The user is unable to exit the
application (or if the application exits, it immediately restarts).
Note: Single application AppLock is obsolete. Please contact your LXE representative if you
desire to upgrade to multi application AppLock.
Multi Application AppLock
A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When
Keyboard is selected, the VX7 default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input
method) is activated.
Note: If “Keyboard” is not present in the window, an older version of AppLock is installed.
Please contact your LXE representative for upgrade information, if desired.
Using the Touchscreen
Note: The touch screen must be enabled.
When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows
one above the other) is displayed in the taskbar. The taskbar is always visible on top of the
application in focus.
When the user taps the Switchpad icon, a menu is displayed showing the applications available to
the user. The user can tap an application name in the popup menu and the selected application is
brought to the foreground. The previous application continues to run in the background. Stylus
taps affect the application in focus only. When the user needs to use the Input Panel, they tap the
Keyboard option. Input Panel taps affect the application in focus only.

AppLock and the VX7 11
The figure shown above is an example and is shown only to aid in describing how the user can
switch between applications using a stylus.
Using the Keypad
One switch key sequence (or hotkey) is defined by the administrator for the end-user to use when
switching between locked applications. This is known as the Activation key. When the switch
key sequence is pressed on the keypad, the next application in the AppLock configuration is
moved to the foreground and the previous application moves to the background. The previous
application continues to run in the background. End-user key presses affect the application in
focus only.
See the VX7 Reference Guide for AppLock setup instruction.

Key Maps
The 60-key keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only
has 60 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the VX7
keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the
keyboard.
The hidden keys supported by the VX7 are listed in Appendix A, “Key Maps”.
Unused Key Functions
There are several key functions on the 60-key keyboard that are not used on the VX7. These
include:
• <2nd> <F3> – The Resume/Suspend function is not used, as the VX7 does not
support these power management modes.
• <2nd> <F4> and <2nd> <F5> – The Display Brightness functions are not used as
the display brightness is adjusted by the buttons on the VX7 control panel.
• <2nd> <F6> and <2nd> <F7> – The Contrast functions are not used as the contrast
is not adjustable on the TFT display on the VX7.
• <2nd> <F8> and <2nd> <F9> – The Volume control keys are not used as volume is
adjusted via the Microsoft Windows CE Control Panel.
