Note: The MX9 Battery Charger is designed for an indoor, protected environment. It is not authorized for use in areas designated

as Hazardous Locations.

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 MX9 or its packing material when new.

The main battery while in the MX9 can be recharged using several different methods.

Note: An external power source is required before the main battery in the MX9 will recharge.

The main battery can be recharged while it is in the MX9:

• by connecting the MX9 AC power adapter to the I/O connector at the base of the MX9.

• by docking the MX9 in a powered desk cradle

• by docking the MX9 in a powered vehicle cradle

2 - 8

• or by connecting the car power adapter (CLA) to the I/O connector at the base of the MX9.

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.

LEDs, Backlights and Indicators

Status LEDs

Several LEDs are located on the front of the MX9 above the speaker. They are:

• System Status (SYS) LED indicates power management status (far left LED).

• Battery Charging Status (BATT) LED indicates main battery charging status (far right LED).

• Alpha Mode Status LED applies to the 38-key keypad only (LED is next to SYS LED).

• Bluetooth Status LED applies to Bluetooth client functions (LED is next to BATT LED).

System Status LED

Blinking Red Battery power fail; critical suspend

Solid Red Main battery low

Yellow / Amber Initial few seconds when Power key is pressed

Battery Charging Status LED

Off No battery, no AC power, battery pack not plugged in or no AC power applied

Flashing Red Fault, battery pack fault or failure

Yellow / Amber Standby, battery pack temperature out of range

Red Charging, battery pack charging (icon on touch screen)

Green Charged, battery pack fully charged. Connected to external power.

Alpha mode Status LED

• Green when in alpha mode, 38-key keypad only.

Bluetooth Status LED

• Blue when Bluetooth activated

• Off when Bluetooth not activated.

Keypad Backlight Setting

The keypad backlight is white and can be set to be on or off. The default value is on. When set to off, the keypad backlight does not turn on during Suspend/Restart or reboots. When set to on, the keypad backlight follows the display backlight settings. The keypad backlight turns off when the display

backlight dims.

Toggle Vibrate Indicator

The MX9 vibration motor is activated when a scan is completed successfully (good scan vibration) or with a failure (scan key released before good scan, timeout, or rejected because of Data Options configuration).

The vibrations can be detected under the hand strap or through the trigger handle. Toggle the vibrate indicator on or off by tapping the desired radio button for Good Scan Vibration and Bad Scan Vibration. Options are: Off, Short, Medium or Long.

Tapping the Touch Screen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.

2 - 9

Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.

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.

Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen. Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen 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

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

A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time. A stylus replacement kit is available.

Calibrating the Touch Screen

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 > Control Panel > Stylus > Calibration tab. To begin, tap the Recalibrate button on the screen with the stylus.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

Adjusting the Display Backlight Brightness

When the display backlight is on, press the Blue key and then press either Scan key.

• Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to adjust backlight brightness until the display lightens or darkens to your satisfaction.

• Press any key, except the up arrow or down arrow keys, to exit this mode.

At the minimum dimness level, the display is still viewable. The brightness setting is recalled upon a return from Suspend and also upon a warm reset/boot.

Note: The brightness of the keypad backlight is not affected by display brightness adjustments or the display brightness default

setting.

Adjusting the Display Backlight Timer

The backlight settings use the Honeywell set of default timeouts and are synchronized to the User Idle setting in the Schemes tab in the Power control panel. When the backlight timer expires, the display backlight is dimmed, not turned off. When both check boxes are unchecked, the backlight never turns off (or dims). Default values are 3 seconds for Battery, 2 minutes for External and both the check boxes are enabled. When the keypad backlight is set to Follow the touch screen backlight, the keypad backlight turns off when the touch screen backlight dims.

Applying the Touch Screen Protective Film

First, clean the touch screen of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.

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.

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

Adjusting the Keypad Backlight

The keypad backlight is white can be set to On or Off. The default value is On. When set to Off, the keypad backlight does not turn on during Suspend/Restart or reboots. When set to On, the keypad backlight follows the display backlight setting. The keypad backlight turns off when the display backlight dims.

Setting Date and Time Zone

Ta p Start > Settings > Control Panel > Date/Time icon or tap the Date/Time in the taskbar.

Set Date, Time, Time Zone, and assign a Daylight Savings location on the MX9 after a warm boot or anytime.

There is very little functional change from standard desktop PC Date/Time Properties options. Adjust the settings and tap the OK button or the Apply button to save changes to the registry. Any changes take effect immediately.

Double-tapping the time displayed in the Taskbar causes the Date/Time Properties screen to appear.

Grab Time Utility

The GrabTime utility can be configured to synchronize the time with a local server during each reboot function.

Autolaunch Time-Sync

Start > Settings > Control Panel > MX9 Options > Communication

By default, TimeSync does not automatically run on the MX9. To enable TimeSync to run automatically on the MX9 using the GrabTime utility, check this checkbox.

Synchronize with a Local Time Server

By default, GrabTime synchronizes via an Internet connection. To synchronize with a local time server:

1. Use ActiveSync to copy GrabTime.ini from the My Device > Windows folder on the MX9 to the host PC.

2. Edit the copy of GrabTime.ini on the host PC. Add the local time server’s domain name to the beginning of the list of servers. You can optionally delete the remainder of the list.

3. Copy the modified GrabTime.ini file to the My Device > System folder on the MX9. The System/GrabTime.ini file takes precedence over the Windows/GrabTime.ini file. System/Grabtime.ini also persists after a coldboot; Windows/ Grabtime.ini does not persist.

Setting Power Scheme Timers

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power > Schemes

Change the parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.

User Idle

An amount of time has passed, set by the User Idle timer, and the device shuts down a minimum number of services e.g., backlights. The System Idle timer and the Suspend timer have not expired yet.

System Idle

An amount of time has passed, set by the System Idle timer, and the device shuts down a few more services e.g., display. The User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer has not expired yet.

Suspend

Suspend mode is entered when (1) the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time, (2) the user taps the Power key, or (3) Start > Suspend is chosen. Inactivity means that internal devices that reset the power state are not active.

Battery Power Scheme

Use this option when the MX9 will be running on battery power only.

Switch state to User Idle Default is After 3 seconds

Switch state to System Idle Default is After 15 seconds

Switch state to Suspend Default is After 5 minutes

AC Power Scheme

Use this option when the MX9 will be running on external power (e.g., connected to an A/C power source).

Switch state to User Idle Default is After 2 minutes

Switch state to System Idle Default is After 2 minutes

Switch state to Suspend Default is After 5 minutes

The timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power scheme timers never place the MX9 in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the MX9 is idle).

Using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:

• The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,

• The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15 seconds + 3 seconds),

• And the MX9 enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.
