MX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C
Overview
Introduction
The LXE MX3X is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET equipped
mobile computer capable of wireless data communications. The mobile device can transmit
information using a 2.4 GHz radio (with an internally mounted antenna) and it can store
information for later transmission through an RS-232, InfraRed, or USB port.
The mobile device is horizontally oriented and features backlighting for the display. The touchscreen display supports graphic features and Windows icons that the Windows CE .NET operating
system supports. The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material that can
easily be seen in dimly lighted areas.
Throughout this guide, an MX3X without an RFID Module is labeled “MX3X”. The MX3X
with an RFID Module is labeled “MX3-RFID”. Information specific to one or the other is
labeled appropriately. No distinction is made to information that is the same for both mobile
devices.
The MX3-RFID version of the MX3X has an RFID module permanently attached to the back of
the device. If there is no distinction between directions for the user with an MX3X and a user with
a MX3-RFID mobile device, the instruction or information in this guide is the same for both
versions unless noted.
This device is a Windows CE .NET compatible computer that can be scaled from a limited
function batch computer to an integrated RF scanning computer.
The stylus in the Stylus Kit (shipped with unit) is used to assist in entering data and configuring
the unit. Protective film for the touchscreen is available as an accessory.
Note: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is
always drawing power from the batteries (On).

Quick Start
Important
If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to “MX3X Reference Guide”,
“AppLock” for setup and processing information before continuing.
Note: When your mobile device is pre-configured, the radio, PCMCIA card and endcaps are
assembled by LXE to your specifications.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. handstrap, 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 MX3X with and without the
RFID module.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Insert a fully charged battery and press the Power button.
2. Connect an external power source to the unit (if required).
3. If the screen does not automatically display, press the Power button.
4. Adjust screen display, audio volume and other parameters if desired.
Note: Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to a USB-C or USB-H labeled endcap port.
These ports cannot power a tethered scanner.
About Lithium-Ion Batteries
Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and
never just stop working. This is important to remember – this mobile device is always ‘on’ even
when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Use the Start | Settings | Control
Panel | Power | Battery tab to check the battery status and power reading.
Always replace the used main battery with a fully charged main battery. The Battery Low
Warning LED illuminates red at approximately 35% of power left in the main battery. You need to
determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for your business practices and
replace the main battery before that point.
Note: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is
always drawing power from the batteries (On).

8 RFID Introduction
RFID Introduction
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to
automatically identify individual items. The individual items identified/read by a RFID reader
contain a tag (also known as an electronic label or transponder). Unlike barcodes that must be read
by a beam passing over the barcode, RFID tags do not have to be in the line of sight of the reader
before the reader can collect the data from the tag but they do need to be within the established
“read” distance from the RFID-module.
See the “MX3X Reference Guide” for further information and configuration.
RFID Reader Scan Range
Small Tag 12 inches / 30 cm Class 0 Tag 2 feet
Large Tag 2.5 feet / .76 meters Class 1 Tag 3 feet
Unlike barcode scanners that require line-of-sight before successfully reading a barcode, the RFID
reader does not require line-of-sight when searching for and reading tags. Pressing the RFID Read
button on the MX3-RFID starts a 360 degree search “beam” that stops at the limits of the scan
range of the RFID reader. The “beam” stops searching when the read timer expires.
Integrated Laser Scanner
The integrated laser barcode scanner can only read barcodes. Tethered laser barcode scanners can
only read barcodes.
The RFID module can only read RFID tags.
• COM1 is the RFID module.
• COM3 is the integrated barcode scanner.
RFID Device and LXE Cradles
The MX3-RFID device is too bulky to fit in the standard MX3 powered cradles. There is a passive
vehicle cradle available for the MX3-RFID device that secures the device to the cradle only. See
section titled “Accessories”.
Main battery charging and host communication is not available directly through the passive
vehicle cradle. The passive vehicle cradle does not have LEDs or indicators. It does not accept DC
power connection. The mobile device can be directly connected to external power through the
power jack located on the endcap. Host communication is available wirelessly while the mobile
device is secured in the passive cradle.
The MX3-RFID can be connected to DC Power through the power jack located on the endcap
while secured in the passive vehicle cradle. It can also communicate wirelessly with the host while
in the passive vehicle cradle.
MX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C
