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.

• 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.

16 Optional Accessory Installation

For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination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

Entering Data 23

For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination

Entering Data

You can enter data into the MX7 through several different methods. The Scanner aperture provides barcode data entry, the Input/Output (I/O) port is used to input/output data, and the keypad provides manual entry.

Mobile devices with a touch screen use a stylus to input data, the I/O port and/or the keypad. An input panel (virtual keyboard) is available in applications that expect keyed input.

Keypad Entry

The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the MX7 keypads but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task. Please refer to “Appendix A – Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all keypad functions.

Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is printed on the key.

The Orange or Blue keys are pressed when you want to use a “sticky” key function. For example, when you press a Blue or Orange key (the sticky key), then press the key that has the desired second-function key, the second-function key is th e “active” key. The specific sticky character is printed above the corresponding key in either Orange or Blue.

Stylus Data Entry

Note: This section is directed to the MX7 daily user. The assumption is that the mobile device

The stylus performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a desktop computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – sing le tap or double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider bars, etcetera.

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. The touch screen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure.

The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device connected to the serial port.

• Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.

Scanner Entry

Read all cautions, warnings and labels before using the laser

scanner.

Do not look into the laser’s lens.

Do not stare directly into the laser beam.

To scan with the integrated laser barcode reader, point the laser aperture towards a barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a red laser beam strike the barcode.

Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan

Figure 18 Scan Beam

Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the MX7 towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.

Figure 19 Scan Status LED

The Scan Status LED (oval shaped LED below keypad) turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read the Scan Status LED turns green for two seconds and the MX7 beeps or vibrates, indicating a successful scan. If the scan was unsuccessful, the Scan Status LED turns off and a different beep sequence is heard.

The laser engine and Scan Status LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The scanner is ready to scan again after the Scan key (or trigger on the handle if installed) is released, or after the Scan Status LED turns off following a successful scan.

Tethered scanners are not supported on the MX7.

Batteries

Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use. If the main battery and backup battery are

depleted, the mobile device reverts to factory default values. Wireless configuration parameters will need to re-entered after reverting to factory default values. The backup battery is continually recharged by the main battery pack.

The mobile device is designed to work with a 2200 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery from LXE. Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the scanner or the RF transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery recharges. The operating system keeps date and time valid for a minimum of four days using a fully charged backup battery and a main battery pack installed that has reached the Low Warning point.

Passive Vehicle Mount Cradle 45

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

Passive Vehicle Mount Cradle

A passive vehicle mount cradle is available for the MX7. The cradle restrains the MX7. The passive cradle does not have an external device connector e.g. power/RS-232 cable. Wireless client interaction is available as long as the mobile device has sufficient energy in the MX7 main battery pack and a clear signal path.

The cradle is lined with strips of hook-and-loop fabric to ensure a snug fit between the MX7 and the inside of the cradle.

The vehicle cradle should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:

• Does not obstruct the driver's vision or safe vehicle operati on.

• Will be protected from rain or inclement weather.

• Will be protected from extremely high concentrations of dust or wind-blown debris.

• Can be easily accessed by a user seated in the driver's seat.

There are two mounting options for the cradle:

• U-bracket mounting

• RAM ball cylinder mounting

Before installation begins, verify you have the applicable vehicle mounting bracket assembly components necessary for your mount type, as shown in the section titled “Assembly Components”.

Do not slide the MX7 into the passive cradle until the cradle is securely fastened to the vehicle.
