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.

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.

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.

Power Supply 23
Power Supply
Vehicle power input for the VX7 is 12V to 80V DC and is accepted without the need to perform any manual adjustments within the VX7. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “Vehicle 12-80V DC Direct Connection”. An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery pack is available for the vehicle power supply connection.
If 12V to 80V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “External Power Supply”.
Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible. See section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “Fuse Replacement for the VX7”.
Uninterruptible Power Supply Battery Pack
An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery pack is designed to provide power to the VX7 for short periods of time when vehicle power is unavailable (such as when vehicle batteries are swapped). Fully charged, the UPS battery powers the VX7 for a minimum of 15 minutes at 25º C (77º F) ambient temperature.
The Power Status LED on the VX7 indicates the UPS battery status:
Backup Battery
The internal 190 mAh Lithium backup (coin cell) battery provides power to maintain date and time when the VX7 is not powered from an external source.
Green – Running on 12V – 80V power input
Solid Yellow – Running on UPS battery, battery is not low on power
Flashing Yellow – Running on UPS battery, battery is critically low.
Caution
!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same type or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
