Overview

Important Battery Information

Note: This mobile device’s backup battery maintains it’s charge by drawing power from the main battery pack. Always store unused devices with a fully charged main battery pack installed. LXE recommends an in-use mobile device be frequently connected to an external power source to maintain optimum power levels in the main battery pack and the backup battery. When the backup battery and main battery pack are dead, the mobile device reverts to the last saved setup defaults when a fully charged main battery pack is installed and the device is powered On again.

Tap | Settings | Control Panel | Battery tab.

•Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX7 is always drawing power from the batteries (On).

•New batteries must be fully charged prior to use.

•Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX7 to conserve the main battery and recharge the backup battery.

•When a new battery is installed in the MX7 for the first time (or when the backup battery is completely depleted), the Time and Date reverts to it’s default values.

Tap | Settings | Control Panel | Date/Time tab.

Quick Start

In Brief . . .

Note: When your mobile device is pre-configured, the radio, keypad and scan aperture configurations are assembled by LXE to your specifications.

This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new device is pre-configured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. stylus) and a power source. LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, the mobile device, and components from electrostatic discharge.

This guide takes you through an introduction to and operation of the MX7.

1.Insert a fully charged main battery pack. (Always put a fully charged battery in the mobile device at the beginning of the shift or workday.)

2.Connect an external power source to the unit (if required).

3.If the screen does not automatically display, tap the Power key.

4.Calibrate the touchscreen.

5.After all files are loaded and the Desktop is displayed, adjust audio volume and other parameters if desired.

If needed, change the Time and Date from it’s default value by tapping the | Settings | Control Panel | Date/Time icon.

Troubleshooting

	Can’t calibrate the touch	AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock
		restricts User access to running programs. Changes or
	screen, change the
		modifications require Administrator access.
	date/time or adjust the
	volume.	Refer to the “MX7 Reference Guide”, “Chapter 4 - AppLock” for
		setup and processing information.

14 Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touchscreen. Never use an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touchscreen.

Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.

Like using a mouse to left-click icons on a desktop computer screen, using the stylus to tap icons on the touchscreen is the basic action that can:

•Open applications

•Choose menu commands

•Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes

•Drag the slider in a scroll bar

•Select text by dragging the stylus across the text

•Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data or retrieving data using the integrated barcode scanner or an input/output device connected to the serial port.

A stylus replacement kit containing 10 stylus’ can be ordered from LXE. See the section titled “Accessories” for the stylus replacement kit part number.

Note: A “right mouse click” function must be programmed by the customer to accept a constant stream of left mouse click messages. An application can choose to interpret this stream of messages as a right mouse click. LXE does not support non-LXE application programming.

Keypad Shortcuts

Use keyboard shortcuts instead of the stylus:

•Press <Tab> and an <Arrow> key to select a file.

•Press <Shift> and an <Arrow> key to select several files.

•Once you’ve selected a file, press <Alt> then press <Enter> to open its Properties dialog.

•Press <Del> to delete a file.

•To force the Start menu to display, press <Ctl> and release, press <Blue> and release, then press <Esc> (the Alt key).

16 Optional Accessory Installation

Optional Accessory Installation

Installing Trigger Handle (Optional)

Note: Either the trigger handle is attached to the MX7 or the handstrap is attached, not both. LXE recommends that, in the absence of a trigger handle, the handstrap be used at all times.

The MX7 can be purchased with a customer-installable trigger handle. The handle is shipped with a wrist strap. The handle enables the user of the MX7 to hold the mobile device comfortably while pointing and activating the scanner with one hand. With the handle installed, the MX7 can balance on a tabletop supported by the nose of the mobile device and the bottom of the handle.

Pressing the trigger on the handle activates the laser scanner / imager. The trigger performs the same function as the Scan key on the keypad. With the handle installed the Scan key on the keypad remains active.

The handle is built of a durable and flexible plastic with a rubber grip that will not detach from the MX7 if the unit is dropped. The trigger handle is a mechanical device. Battery or external A/C power is not required for operation of the trigger handle. The trigger handle does not need to be removed when replacing the main battery. The trigger handle does not contain a battery pack.

Attaching Handstrap

Note: Either the trigger handle is attached to the MX7 or the handstrap is attached, not both. LXE recommends that, in the absence of a trigger handle, the handstrap be used at all times. LXE pre-installs the handstrap on devices that are purchased without a trigger handle.

Once installed, the handstrap provides a means for the user to secure the computer to their hand. It is adjustable to fit practically any size hand and does not interfere with the multipurpose cable, if connected, when the mobile device is in a cradle.
