Overview
Introduction
The LXE® MX7 is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 equipped mobile
computer capable of wireless data communications. The mobile device can transmit information
using an 802.11 radio and it can store information for later transmission through an RS-232 or
USB port. Bluetooth® radio is not supported by LXE.
The mobile device is vertically oriented and features
backlighting for the display. The touch-screen display
supports graphic features and Windows icons that the
Windows CE 5.0 operating system supports. Keypads are
available in 55-key alphanumeric and 32-key numeric-alpha
versions. Also available is a 5250 55-key keypad overlay.
This device is a Windows CE 5.0 compatible computer that
can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an
integrated RF scanning computer.
The attached stylus is used to assist in entering data and configuring the mobile device. Protective
film for the touchscreen is available as an accessory. A trigger handle is available as an accessory.
The MX7 is powered by a 2200 mAh Lithium-Ion main battery pack and an internal NiCd b ackup
battery.
Important
If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to the “MX7 Reference Guide”,
“Chapter 4 – AppLock” for setup and processing information before continuing.
When you are ready to set up the radio, security and wireless parameters, please refer to
the “MX7 Reference Guide”, “Chapter 5 – Wireless Network Configuration”.
Related Manuals
If you need to set up the integrated SE824 or SE1524 scanner barcode reading parameters,
please refer to Chapter 2 in the “Integrated Scanner Programming Guide” on the LXE Manuals
CD or the LXE ServicePass website.
If you need to set up the Intermec EV15 linear imager, please refer to Chapter 3 in the “Integrated
Scanner Programming Guide”.

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 batt ery p ack
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 bat t ery 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.
| Settings | Control Panel | Battery tab.
Tap
• 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.

In Brief . . .
Quick Start
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.

Figure 8 Main Battery Pack
The main battery is located in a compartment on the back of the unit. To insert or replace the
battery, complete the following steps:
1. Place the MX7 in Suspend mode.
2. Detach the bottom hook of the handstrap (if installed).
3. Press the battery locking tab up to release the main battery pack. The battery case serves as
the back cover for the battery well for the MX7.
4. Pull the battery up and out of the battery well with a hinge motion. Place the discharged
battery pack in a powered battery charger/analyzer.
5. Tilt the end (without the latch) of the fully charged battery pack into the upper end of the
battery compartment, and firmly press the other end (with the latch) until it is fully inserted
into the battery compartment.
6. Push down on the battery pack until it clicks into place.
7. Replace the handstrap clip in its holder.
Note: The battery should not be replaced in a dirty, harsh or hazardous environment. When the
battery is out of the MX7, any dust or moisture that enters the battery compartment can
get into the main unit, potentially causing damage.

14 Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus
For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination
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-do w n bo xes
• 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
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

Calibrating the Touchscreen 15
For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination
Calibrating the Touchscreen
If the touchscreen is not responding properly to stylus taps, you may need to recalibrate the
touchscreen. Recalibration involves tapping the center of a target. If you miss the center, keep the
stylus on the screen, slide it over the target’s center, and then lift the stylus.
If the touchscreen is not accepting taps or needs recalibration, press <Ctrl>+<Esc> to force the
Start Menu to appear.
To recalibrate the screen, select

For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination
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

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 no t 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.
