Locking and Unlocking the MX7 Tecton

Locking the MX7 Tecton

The MX7 Tecton can be locked manually by tapping Start > Lock. By default, this option is included on the Start screen at the
bottom of the screen. Care should be taken to not accidentally tap this area of the Start screen.

Note: Review the Unlock process before locking the MX7 Tecton.

Lock can be removed from the Today screen by selecting Start > Settings > Today > Items (page 5-22) tab. Deselect Device
Lock.

The MX7 Tecton can also be configured to Lock automatically after a defined period of inactivity. This setting is accessed via
Start > Settings > Lock > Password tab. By default, this option is Disabled.

The password and hint are configured by selecting Start > Settings > Lock > Password (page 5-16) and Hint (page 5-17) tabs.

Unlocking the MX7 Tecton

When the MX7 Tecton is locked, the Start screen displays Unlock at the lower part of the screen.

• If there is no password or PIN set, tap Unlock on the next screen to unlock the MX7 Tecton. The MX7 Tecton is returned
to normal operation.

•If there is a password or PIN set, enter the password/PIN and tap Unlock. If several unsuccessful attempts are made, the
MX7 Tecton may be configured to display a password hint.

2 - 8

Rebooting the MX7 Tecton

When the Desktop/Start screen is displayed or an application begins, the power up sequence is complete. If you have previ­ously saved your settings, they will be restored on reboot. Application panel changes are saved when OK is tapped on an appli­cation properties panel.

During the processes that follow there may be small delays while MX7 Tecton wireless clients connect to the network and Blue­tooth relationships establish or re-establish.

Suspend / Resume

Quickly tapping the Power key places the MX7 Tecton in Suspend mode. Quickly tapping the Power key again, pressing any
key, pressing the trigger (on the trigger handle), or tapping the touch screen, returns the MX7 Tecton from Suspend and to
the exact state before the Power key press. The System LED blinks green when the video display is Off (and the device is
not in Suspend Mode or critical suspend).

Warmboot

A warmboot reboots the MX7 Tecton without erasing any registry data. Configuration settings and data in RAM are pre­served during a warmboot. Network sessions are lost and any data in running applications that has not been previously
saved may be lost. CAB files already installed remain installed.

• Using the Registry control panel, tap the Warmboot button. The MX7 Tecton immediately warmboots.

Restart

The OS and CAB files are reloaded. Restart erases the contents of RAM but preserves all registry configuration settings.
Any files that are stored only in RAM drives will be lost. Restart erases any user-stored applications or data, but preserves
anything stored on the System drive in flash (which are files explicitly copied to the System folder, plus the registry files cre­ated by the OS). All CABs and applications that are configured are reinstalled by the Launch utility. Touch screen calibration
data is preserved. Network sessions are lost, and any data in running applications that has not been specifically sent to
storage may be lost.

• Tap the Restart button on the Registry control panel. The operating system performs the operation and the MX7 Tecton
restarts.

• An alternate method to Restart is to hold down the Blue key, the Scan key and the Power key until the screen blanks.
Release the keys and the MX7 restarts (may also be called a cold boot). Be sure the press the Scan key, not the Enter
key. Pressing the Enter key begins a warmboot function instead of a coldboot function.

Clean Boot / Reset

Important -- Because of the extreme nature of resetting the Windows Mobile device to factory default settings, this process
should be used only as an emergency procedure and suspend/resume or restart should be used whenever necessary.

To reset all Windows Mobile device configuration to factory defaults:

1. Hold down the Blue + Scan + Power keys at the same time. After the key sequence is complete, the display turns solid

white. Be sure to press the Scan key, not the Enter key.

2. Release the keys and immediately press and hold the Enter + Scan keys. After the keypress, the display turns dark. (If

these keys are not pressed immediately the MX7 Tecton performs a Cold Boot. Wait until the MX7 Tecton boots and try
again.)

3. Release the Reset key sequence. A message is displayed stating the change is in process. If the message does not

appear, try again.

When all programs have finished loading, the Windows Mobile Start screen is displayed. If prompted, tap the touch screen
to set up your Windows Mobile based device.

Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack

Note: The battery should not be replaced in a dirty, harsh or hazardous environment. When the battery is not connected to the

MX7 Tecton, any dust or moisture that enters the battery well or connector may transfer to the battery/well terminals,
potentially causing damage. Only use Honeywell batteries as replacements: MX7A380BATT / MX7392BATT or a Low
Temperature (CS) Battery : MX7A381BATT / MX7393BATT / MX7396BATTERY.

The MX7 Tecton will not function unless the battery pack is in place and securely latched. Any work in progress should be saved
prior to replacing the battery pack.

Be sure to place the unit in Suspend Mode before removing the battery. Failing to properly place the device in Suspend mode
will result in a loss of all unsaved data.

An MX7 Tecton will retain data, while the main battery is removed and replaced with a fully charged main battery, for 5 minutes.

Note: When internal battery power is Low or Very Low connect the AC/DC adapter to the MX7 Tecton before replacing the main

battery.

3. 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 down until it is fully inserted into the battery compartment

4. Push down on the battery until the retaining clip clicks into place. The MX7 Tecton draws power from the battery

immediately upon successful connection.

5. Replace the handstrap clip in its holder (if installed).

Removing the Battery

To remove the battery, complete the following steps:

1. Place the MX7 Tecton in Suspend mode (if On).

2. Detach the bottom hook of the handstrap (if installed).

3. Slide the battery retaining clip down to release the main battery.

4. Pull the battery up and out of the battery compartment.

5. Place the discharged battery pack in a powered battery charger to re-charge.

Charging the Main Battery

Note: The MX7 Tecton Battery Charger is designed for an indoor, protected environment.

New batteries must be fully charged prior to use.

The main battery can be recharged in an AC powered Battery Charger after the battery has been removed from the MX7 Tecton
or its packing material when new.

The main battery can be recharged while it is in the MX7 Tecton:

• by connecting the MX7 Tecton AC power adapter to the I/O connector at the base of the MX7 Tecton.

• by docking the MX7 Tecton in a powered desk cradle.

• by docking the MX7 Tecton in a powered vehicle cradle.

• or by connecting the car power adapter (CLA) to the I/O connector at the base of the MX7 Tecton.

Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the computer’s internal charging circuitry

which, in turn, recharges the main battery and internal battery. Frequent connection to an external power source, if
feasible, is recommended to maintain internal battery charge status as the internal battery cannot be recharged by a dead
or missing main battery.

If the touch screen is not responding properly to stylus taps, you may need to recalibrate the touch screen.

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.

To recalibrate the screen, select Start > Settings > System > Screen (page 5-46) > General tab. To begin, tap the Align Screen
button on the display with the stylus.

Follow the instructions on the screen and press the Enter key to save the new calibration settings or press Esc to cancel or quit.

Setting the Display Backlight Timer

The backlight settings use Honeywell-determined default timeouts. Different timeouts can be set for the backlights when using
main battery or external power. The backlights timer can be disabled for a particular mode by unchecking a check box. When
the backlight timer is disabled (check box is unchecked), the backlight never turns off (or dims) in that mode.

Default values are 30 seconds for Battery, 1 minute for External. Brightness level default value is 60% for the keypad and dis­play.

When the backlight timer expires, the display backlight and the display are Off, as is the keypad backlight. The backlights are
turned on when the touch screen is tapped or a button is pressed. Adjust these settings using the Backlight control panel.

Applying the Touch Screen Protective Film

1. Clean the touch screen of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.

2. Remove the protective film from its container. Remove any protective backing from the film sheet by lifting the backing from

a corner of the film. Discard the backing.

3. Apply the film to the touch screen starting at one side and smoothing it across the display.

4. If air bubbles appear, raise the film slightly and continue smoothing the film across the display until it covers the glass

surface of the display.

5. If dust, lint or smudges are trapped between the protective film and the glass display, remove the protective film, clean the

display and apply the protective film again.

Startup Help

Issue:

Can’t change the date/time or adjust the volume.

Solution:

AppLock is installed and may be running in User Mode on the MX7 Tecton. AppLock user mode restricts access to the con­trol panels.

Issue:

Touch screen is not accepting stylus taps or needs recalibration.

Solution:

If the touch screen is not accepting stylus taps, press Ctrl+Esc (Blue+Alt) to force the Start Menu to appear. Use the arrow
keys to move from program to program. Press Enter to open folders or start a program e.g., Registry panel Warmboot but­ton.

Issue:

The MX7 Tecton seems to lockup as soon as it is rebooted.

Solution:

There may be slight delays while the wireless clients connect to the network, authorization for voice-enabled applications
complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the MX7 Tecton startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or
re-establish. When the desktop appears or an application begins, the MX7 Tecton is ready for use.

Issue:

New MX7 Tecton main batteries don't last more than a few hours.

Solution:

New batteries must be fully charged prior to first use. 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 – the MX7 Tecton is always ‘on’ even
when in the Suspend state and draws a small amount of battery power at all times.

Cold Storage Battery Life – minimum 2.5 hours while the unit is roaming, powered on with ambient temperature -10°C
(14°F) or above, display backlight turned on, keypad LED backlight on, radio connected to Access Point, and scanner
decoding bar codes. The Li-Ion main battery (MX7A381BATT, MX7393BATT, and MX7396BATTERY) has been designed
specifically for the Cold Storage device. This 1250mAh battery has a blue label while the standard 2200mAh battery has a
white (MX7A380BATT and MX7392BATT) label.

Issue:

Keep losing ActiveSync connection between my host computer and the MX7 Tecton.

Solution:

Disconnect the USB cable, wait 1-2 seconds and reconnect the cable. The MX7 Tecton will not enter Suspend as long as
an ActiveSync session is running. The ActiveSync session prevents it from going into suspend.

The display appears black when the MX7 Tecton is in Suspend Mode.

Power Supply

The MX7 Tecton uses one of two batteries for operation.

• Main Battery. A rechargeable 2200 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. The battery pack recharges while in the MX7
Tecton when the device is connected to the optional external MX7 Tecton AC/DC power source. The main battery pack
can be removed from the MX7 Tecton and inserted in the MX7 Tecton Battery Charger which simultaneously charges up
to four battery packs in four hours. A new main battery pack can be fully charged in 6 hours when it is in an MX7 Tecton
connected to AC power and 3.5 hours when it is in the MX7 Tecton battery charger.

• Low temperature. A rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack has a 1250 mAh capacity.

• Super-capacitor (Super-cap). No backup “battery” is used. Super-cap internal battery maintains RAM and other vital
settings during a critical shutdown.

Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the MX7 Tectons internal charging

circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and Super-cap battery. Frequent connection to an external power
source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain main battery charge status as the Super-cap battery cannot be
recharged by a dead or missing main battery.

COM Ports

The MX7 Tecton has one mini D 20-pin serial port (a multifunction I/O port) that can be configured by the user. It has a
power input interface to allow powering the MX7 Tecton from an external source (AC/DC power supply or vehicle power).
The power input interface range is 10 - 18VDC.

RS232 Serial Port

Configured as COM1. Bi-directional full duplex and supports data rates up to 115 Kb/s. The port does not have RI or CD
signals nor does it support 5V switchable power on pin 9 for tethered scanners. The serial port driver supports full duplex
communications over the serial port. It supports data exchange via ActiveSync, but does not automatically start ActiveSync
when connected. The Cable, Multipurpose RS232 and Power and the Adapter, RS232 PC port to D9 male accessories can
be used with the RS232 serial port. External AC power is available when the multipurpose RS232/Power cable is con­nected. External AC power is not available for the Adapter, RS232 PC port to D9 male option. Power is drawn from the main
battery pack when this adapter is connected..

USB Client Port

The MX7 Tecton has one USB Client port for ActiveSync applications. An accessory USB cable, Cable, Multipurpose USB
and Power is available to connect the MX7 Tecton to a USB Type A plug on a PC for ActiveSync functions. External AC
power is available when the multipurpose USB Client/Power cable is connected.

Audio Connection

An audio headset interface is available using the Adapter, Audio accessory with the I/O port. The connection cable con-
nects the MX7 Tecton to a Voxware quick disconnect 4-pin interface. This cable adapts to specific styles of headsets for
voice input, stereo or mono output. The MX7 Tecton with a Summit Client supports mono only. A 3-wire connector with (at
a minimum) connections for ground, microphone, and 1 speaker. Connecting the headset to the MX7 Tecton COM port
turns off audio output to the MX7 Tecton speaker on the front of the device. All sounds previously directed to the speaker

Voi c e

All Microsoft-supplied audio codecs are included in the OS image. The hardware codecs, the input and output analog
voice circuitry and the system design are designed to support voice applications using a headset connected to the
Adapter, Audio accessory cable and the MX7 Tecton I/O connector.

Scanner / Imager Port

The MX7 Tecton has one integrated bar code scanner/imager port. Only one scan engine is installed at a time. Scan
engines are not “hot swappable”. The MX7 Tecton may have one of the following bar code decoding engines:

• Short Range Laser Scanner, SE955I

• Base Laser Scanner, SE955E

• Multi-Range “LORAX” Laser, SE1524ER

• Hand Held Products 2D Area Imager, 5300

• Honeywell Laser Scanner, N43XX

• Honeywell Laser Scanner, N73XX

Note: 955E does not support aim mode. Any attempt to adjust the aiming beam using 955E programming bar codes will

fail. The Base Laser scanner does not decode Codablock, Code93i or Telepen symbologies.

The integrated scan engine activates when the Scan button on the front of the MX7 Tecton is depressed or when the trigger
on an installed trigger handle is depressed. The Data Collection application is available to set scanner/imager options.

Functionality of the integrated scan engine driver is based on the decoder driver version installed in the MX7 Tecton. Func­tions may include audible tones on good scan (at the maximum dB supported by the speaker), failed scan, Scan LED indi­cation of a scan in progress, among other functions. If enabled, a vibration device provides a tactile response on a good
scan event.

Bluetooth EZPair (or LXEZ Pairing)

The MX7 Tecton contains Bluetooth version 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). Bluetooth device connection (or pairing)
can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains network connectivity while Blue­tooth is active and the paired device is within range.

The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the MX7 Tecton. However, the MX7
Tecton supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the
MX7 Tecton displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length
of the user’s passcode.

Bluetooth devices can be paired and managed using the EZPair (or LXEZ Pairing) control panel.

• The MX7 Tecton does not have a Bluetooth managed LED.

• The LED on a mobile Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; the Scan LED on the MX7 Tecton does
not illuminate.

• Bar code data captured by a mobile Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the Data Collection control panel.

• Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using a mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth
scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the MX7 Tecton during final bar code data
manipulation.

Cold Storage Configuration

• MX7 Tecton 1250mAh Cold Storage battery has a blue label.

• Snowflake decal above the MX7 Tecton keypad.

• Heating element visible on the touch screen and the scan aperture.
Cold storage battery is recharged in the MX7 Tecton Battery Charger, MX7 Tecton Desk Cradle and when in an MX7 Tecton

attached to an external power source (e.g., AC adapter).

The Cold Storage version is designed to operate normally when reading bar codes and moving from, and into, cold storage
warehouses, freezers and vehicles where the temperatures may vary between -30°C and 5°C (-22°F and 41°F).

Cold Storage Battery

There is no change in the way the Cold Storage battery is inserted into and removed from the MX7 Tecton battery well.

Battery Life – minimum 2.5 hours while the unit is roaming, powered on with ambient temperature -10°C (14°F) or
above, Display backlight turned on, Keypad LED backlight on, radio connected to Access Point, and scanner decoding
bar codes.

3 - 6

The Li-Ion main battery (MX7A381BATT and MX7393BATT) has been designed specifically for the Cold Storage
device. This 1250mAh battery has a blue label while the standard MX7 Tecton 2200mAh battery has a white
(MX7A380BATT and MX7392BATT) label.

Snowflake Decal

A Cold Storage device has a snowflake decal between the touch screen and the keypad. The decal is located to the left
when the screen is facing forward.

Heating Elements

Heating elements activate when ambient temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). Using the stylus when performing
screen touch functions is recommended. There may be some condensation as the Cold Storage device moves in and
out of cold storage areas. The condensation on the touch screen and the scan aperture quickly dissipates.

The touch screen heating elements and scanner aperture heating elements may be visible when the Cold Storage
device is tilted slightly. No user interaction is required to turn the heating elements on/off. Stylus taps on the touch
screen function normally. Due to the heating element overlaying the scan aperture, bar code scanning may require the
user to move the scan aperture closer to the bar code for good scan results.

Recharging Cold Storage Batteries

The Cold Storage battery pack can be recharged to full capacity while in a Cold Storage MX7 Tecton connected to an
external power source and also while the Cold Storage battery pack is inserted in the charging bay in a powered MX7
Tecton cradle. The battery pack temperature must be above 10°C (50°F) before re-charging can begin.

Battery packs in the Battery Charger begin charging when the battery pack temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and
40°C (100°F).

To charge the Cold Storage battery pack to full capacity, the Battery Charger firmware must be V1.07 or greater. The
firmware version is noted on the battery charger label on the bottom of the charger.

Contact Product Service and Repair (page 16-1) if your battery charger firmware needs to be upgraded.

The Battery Charger and AC adapter are not designed to operate in a freezer or cold storage environment.

Hot-swapping the Cold Storage Battery

The Cold Storage mobile device, with a fully charged Super-cap battery, retains data during a main battery hot-swap at

-30°C (-22°F) for at least 90 seconds. The temperature of the fully charged replacement Cold Storage main battery
must be +10°C (14°F), or above.

Normal Operation Temperature Ranges

• In the freezer where the temperature ranges between –30°C to -18°C (-22°F to 0°F).

• In the loading dock where temperature ranges between 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F) with the relative humidity at 65%

• Moving between the freezer and a loading/unloading area where the temperature transitions from -30°C to 5°C (­22°F to 41°F).

Power Modes and Batteries

Power Modes

The MX7 Tecton has three power modes: On, Suspend and Off.

On Mode

The Display

When the display is On:

• the keypad, touch screen and all peripherals function normally

• the display backlight is on until the Backlight timer expires

The MX7 Tecton

After a new MX7 Tecton has been received, a charged main battery inserted, and the Power key tapped, the MX7 Tecton is
always On until both batteries are drained completely of power.

When the main battery and Super-cap battery are drained completely, the unit is in the Off mode. The unit transitions from
the Off mode to the On mode when a charged main battery is inserted or external power is applied and the Power key is
pressed.

Suspend Mode

The Suspend mode is entered when the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time or the user taps the Power key.
MX7 Tecton Suspend timers are set using Windows control panels.

Wake-up Events - all configurable via a Power Management API call:

• Any key on the keypad

• Stylus touch on the touch screen

• Handle trigger press

• Connecting to AC adapter

• Power button tap

• USB connection

• COM port control CTS

• Real time clock

• Bluetooth device reconnect / disconnect message
When the MX7 Tecton wakes up, the Display Backlight and the Power Off timers begin the countdown again. When any one

of the above events occurs prior to the Power Off timer expiring, the timer starts the countdown again. The MX7 Tecton
does not need to be placed in Suspend mode before hotswapping the main battery.

Off Mode

The unit is in Off Mode when the main battery and the Super-cap battery are depleted. Insert a fully charged main battery
and press the Power key to turn the MX7 Tecton On.

4 - 1

Batteries

The MX7 Tecton is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery. Under normal conditions it should last approximately
eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the scanner or the wireless transmitter, the shorter the time
required between battery recharges.

A suspended MX7 Tecton maintains settings for a minimum of two days using a main battery that has reached the Low Warning
point and a fully charged Super-cap internal battery. The MX7 Tecton retains data, during a main battery hot swap, for at least 5
minutes.

Note: New main battery packs must be charged prior to use. This process takes up to four hours in an MX7 Tecton Battery

Charger and six hours when the MX7 Tecton is connected to external power.

Checking Battery Status

Tap the Battery tab on the Power panel. Battery level, power status and charge remaining is displayed.

Note: When the Battery control panel is displayed power management is disabled, meaning the backlights and display will

not turn off nor will the unit suspend, after the configured inactivity times expire.

Main Battery Pack

The main battery pack has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary rigors of an industrial envi­ronment. Exercise care when transporting the battery pack making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or
any power source other than the MX7 Tecton Battery Charger or the MX7 Tecton unit.

When the main battery pack is properly installed in the unit it provides up to eight hours of operation depending upon use
and accessories installed. The battery pack is resistant to impact damage and falls of up to four feet to a concrete surface.
Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the scan­ner or the wireless transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery recharges.

Battery Hotswapping

Note: When the internal battery power is Low or Very Low (can be viewed on the Power control panel) connect the AC

adapter to the MX7 Tecton before replacing the main battery pack.

When the main battery power level is low, the MX7 Tecton will signal the user with the low battery warning indicator (the
Status LED remains a steady red) that continues until the main battery is replaced, the battery completely depletes, or
external power is applied to the MX7 Tecton using an AC Adapter.

You can replace the main battery by first placing the MX7 Tecton in Suspend Mode then removing the discharged main bat­tery and installing a charged main battery within a five minute time limit (or before the Super-cap internal battery depletes).
When the main battery is removed the MX7 Tecton enters Critical Suspend state; the MX7 Tecton remains in Suspend
mode, the display is turned off and the internal battery continues to power the unit for at least five minutes.

Though data is retained, the MX7 Tecton cannot be used until a charged main battery is installed. After installing the new
battery, press the Power key. Full operational recovery from Suspend can take several seconds while the client is re-estab­lishing a network link. If the internal battery depletes before a fully charged main battery can be inserted, the MX7 Tecton
will turn Off.

Low Battery Warning

It is recommended that the main battery pack be removed and replaced when its energy depletes. When the main battery
Low Battery Warning appears (the Status LED remains a steady red) perform an orderly shut down, minimizing the opera­tion of any installed devices and insuring any information is saved that should be saved.

Super-cap Internal Battery

The MX7 Tecton has an internal battery that is designed to provide limited-duration electrical power in the event of main
battery failure. The energy needed to maintain the internal battery near full charge at all times is drawn from the MX7 Tec­ton main battery. It takes 5 minutes or less to fully charge the internal battery. The duration of internal battery life is depen­dent upon operation of the MX7 Tecton, its features and any operating applications. The internal battery has a minimum
service life of two years. The Super-cap internal battery is replaced by Honeywell.

Handling Batteries Safely

• Never dispose of a battery in a fire. This may cause an explosion.

• Do not replace individual cells in a battery pack.

• Do not attempt to pry open the battery pack shell.

• Be careful when handling any battery. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do not attempt to charge it. Dispose
of it using proper procedures.

Caution

Nickel-based cells contain a chemical solution which burns skin, eyes, etc. Leakage from cells is the only possible way for
such exposure to occur. In this event, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If the solution contacts the eyes, get
immediate medical attention.

NiMH and Li-Ion batteries are capable of delivering high currents when accidentally shorted. Accidental shorting can occur
when contact is made with jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive tools, etc., making the objects very hot. Never place a bat­tery in a pocket or case with keys, coins, or other metal objects.

Note: For general use instruction, refer to commercially available Windows Mobile user’s guides or the Windows Mobile on-line

Help application in the MX7 Tecton

This section’s contents assumes the system administrator is familiar with Microsoft Windows options and capabilities loaded on
most standard Windows desktop computers.

Therefore, the sections that follow describe only those Windows capabilities that are unique to the MX7 Tecton and its Windows
Mobile environment.

Installed Software

Note: Some options require an external modem connection. Modems are not available from Honeywell.

When you order an MX7 Tecton you receive the software files required by the separate programs needed for operation and wire­less client communication. The files are loaded and stored in folders in the mobile device.

This section lists the contents of the folders and the general function of the files. Files installed in each MX7 Tecton are specific
to the intended function of the MX7 Tecton.

Files installed in mobile devices that are configured for a wireless environment usually contain a radio specific driver – the driver
for the radio is specific to the manufacturer of the radio installed in the wireless host environment and is not interchangeable.

Software Load

The software loaded on the MX7 Tecton computer consists of Windows Mobile Operating System, hardware-specific OEM
Adaptation Layer, device drivers, Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile browser and MX7 Tecton-specific utilities. The soft­ware supported by the MX7 Tecton is summarized below:

your preferred values at the conclusion of the upgrade process.

Preparation

• Contact Technical Assistance (page 16-1) to get the OS upgrade files from Honeywell.

• Removing and installing the SD Flash card should be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.

• Always perform MX7 Tecton updates when it has a fully charged main battery and/or a dependable external power source
connected to the MX7 Tecton.

Procedure

1. Place the new image files and MX7Update on a SD card.

2. Place the MX7 Tecton in Suspend Mode and remove the main battery.

SD Card Location

3. Lift the rubber barrier and slide the SD card out of the slot. Do not remove the rubber barrier. The MX7 Tecton may not

have a SD card in the slot because the OS is in flash.

4. Place the card with the new image files on it into the SD slot. The label on the SD card should be facing up.

5. Launch MX7UPDATE.EXE in My Device > Storage Card.

6. Verify the Target OS = WinMobile check box is checked

7. Important: If a failure occurs during the update, DO NOT RESTART (or coldboot). Follow the instructions on the

screen to Exit the update utility then restart the update utility.

8. Tap Start to start the update. The check box is dimmed when the Update is processing. Do not touch the device until

the install/update is complete.

Update Icon

5 - 7

When the bootloader process is complete, tap the Yes button to reboot to complete the update process. Tap the No button
and the update is not complete.

When the process is finished (MX7 Tecton has restarted), remove the SD card, replace the rubber barrier and replace the
main battery. Turn the MX7 Tecton on.

Check the OS update version by viewing the About Info (or About LXE) Settings panel.

Note: If the application displays “Update OS Image Failed” or “Update Boot Loader Image Failed”, do not Restart the system

manually. Perform a warm boot, then try the upgrade again. Restarting will cause a system crash, since there is no
valid image in the MX7 Tecton system.

Battery State and OS Upgrade

A fully charged main battery should be installed in the MX7 Tecton prior to upgrading the operating system. A prompt may
appear when the battery reaches Critical Low that informs the user there is not enough power in the main battery to per­form the upgrade.

The operating system will not be able to execute the OS upgrade when the battery level is too low (25% or less), as there is
a high risk that the power remaining in the battery expires when executing the upgrade and the MX7 Tecton will be left in an
inoperable state.

When main battery power level is too low, connect external power to the MX7 Tecton before performing the upgrade proce­dure. Do not disconnect external power before the upgrade process is complete.

The MX7 Tecton running Windows Mobile must be returned to Honeywell if the device is to be imaged with any other Win­dows operating system (for example, Windows CE).

Update Help

Issue:

The powered device won't boot up after the upgrade is finished.

Solution:

Send the MX7 Tecton to Product Service and Repair (page 16-1) for re-imaging. Warning: Opening the device e.g.,
removing endcaps or access panels, etc., could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

Battery

This panel is used to view the status and percentage of power remaining in the MX7 Tecton main battery.

Jacked is shown in the Status box when the Main battery is receiving external power.

The main battery is charged/recharged when the MX7 Tecton is docked in a powered cradle or directly cabled to an exter­nal power source.

The internal battery draws power from the Main battery to maintain a charge. The Super-cap battery voltage and percent­age of power fluctuate continuously.

When there is no Main battery in the unit, the internal battery begins to discharge as it maintains RAM and other vital set­tings. After a Main battery is installed, the internal battery begins to draw power from the Main battery again and is fully
recharged in five minutes or less.

Note: Frequent connection to an external power source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain main battery charge status

as the Super-cap battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing main battery.
