Overview
Introduction
The LXE® HX2 is a small, lightweight mobile computer designed to be worn on a person’s arm
or waist. The HX2 is most useful for applications that require computational support while the
user’s hands are actively engaged with the physical environment, including piece picking to carts,
containers or conveyers; case picking; parcel moves; and broken case activities.
The armbands that secure both the unit and its battery keeps the HX2 in the ready position at all
times by preventing the unit from rotating around the wearer’s arm. The adaptable armbands can
be worn close to the elbow or near the wrist.
The primary data inputs are a keypad or a ring scanner. The HX2 is voice ready. Voice can also be
used as an input with 3
feedback generated by the mobile device and delivered through an internal speaker or audio
headset.
The HX2 is powered by a tethered low profile, light and unobtrusive battery. The entire HX2
wearable computer system features breakaway connections at multiple points and a low-prof ile,
smooth design to resist snagging on common warehouse fixtures and equipment.
The HX2 has a Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating
system with an Intel® XScale® PXA255 CPU. The HX2
supports an 802.11b/g WLAN radio and Bluetooth
radio. Connectors are available which interface with peripherals
such as a Ring Scanner (1D Laser and 2D Imager Ring
Scanner), an audio headset, a docking/charging cradle and a
tethered battery (see Components for port locations).
The QVGA color display with a touch panel has a diagonal
viewing area of 2.5” (6.3 cm) in landscape orientation. The
display backlight brightness can be adjusted using a series of
keypresses. The keypad backlight can be either on or off. The
keypad keys can be programmed to perform multi-key
functions.
The HX2 hip flip holster, voice case, rubber boot, powered
cradle, touchscreen stylus and protective film for the screen are
available from LXE as accessories (see Accessories).

®
2.0+EDR
Note: Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely de pleted, the HX2 is always
drawing power from the batteries (On).
Note: If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to the HX2 Reference Guide
setup and processing information before continuing.
Based on your installed software version and hardware options, your system may not be ex actly
the same as the system described in this manual. Contact your LXE representative for information
on the latest upgrades for your HX2.

4 Important Battery Information
Important Battery Information
Backup Battery – If the HX2 has been without a power source (connected to a fully charged
tethered battery or docked in a powered cradle) for an extended period of time or if HX2 external
power sources become completely discharged or dead, a fully charged HX2 backup battery will
last for up to 15 minutes. If the backup battery is fully disc harged, th e HX2 will reset as soon as it
is docked in a powered cradle, and the Power button is pressed, or connected to a fully charged
tethered battery. A reset will cause loss of data and custom programs in RAM. Always store
unused HX2s with a fully charged tethered battery. If possible, ensure the HX2 is periodically
docked in a powered cradle to maintain an optimu m backup battery charged status.
To check battery status tap
• Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX2 is always
drawing power from the batteries (On).
• New Standard / Extended batteries must be fully charged prior to use.
• Whenever possible, place the HX2 in a powered cradle to conserve tethered battery power
and recharge the backup battery.
• When a new battery is tethered to the HX2 for the first time (or after the backup battery has
been fully depleted), the Time and Date reverts to factory default values.
• Backup battery replacement is performed by LXE.
The HX2 cradle can charge two standard batteries in less than four hours or two extended batteries
in less than 8 hours in the battery wells behind the HX2 docking bay. The cradle requires an
external power source before battery charging can commence.
| Setting s | Control Pane l | Battery tab.
The HX2 Multi-Charger can charge up to six batteries at the same time. Each charging bay can
accept either battery. The Multi-Charger requires an external power source before
charging/analyzing can occur.
Li-Ion Battery
When disposing of the HX2 tethered batteries, the following precautions should be observed: The
battery should be disposed of properly. The battery should not be disassembled or crushed. The
battery should not be heated above 212°F (100°C) or incinerated.

Getting Started
Note: The sequence of steps in Getting Started/Prerequisites must also be completed when the
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new device is pre-configured and
requires only accessory installation (e.g. stylus, headset, ring scanner, etc.) and a battery. 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.
Prerequisites
Quick Start
HX2 returns from a Cold Boot and when a new OS version is loaded. The wireless client,
flash card, virtual keyboard and scanner parameters may also need to be reset after a
cold reset.
• A fully charged battery is available.
• Optional add-on devices are available (e.g. styl us, headset , ri ng scan ner , hi p fl i p, voi ce
case, armband).
• Wireless Client configuration has been completed by the System Administrator.
• Required configured (mappable) keys have been assigned by the System Administrator.
For example, the Alpha Mode 3 Tap keypad (the original keypad) does not have a
Control, Shift, Alt or Del key (or the equivalent). Key mapping can be changed to map
those specific keys if needed. Refer to Components – Front.
• Optional software and LXE applications have been installed and setup by the System
Administrator.

30 Entering Data
Entering Data
You can enter data into the HX2 through several different methods. The Ring Scanner aperture
provides barcode data entry, the Input/Output (I/O) ports, the built-in microphone and speaker are
used to input/output data, and the physical and virtual keypads provide text entry.
Mobile devices with a touchscreen use a stylus to input data, devices connected to the I/O ports
and/or the keypad. An input panel (virtual keyboard) is available for applications that expect
keyed input.
Keypad Entry
The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. A subset of desktop PC
full keyboard functions are provided. Almost every key on the keypad has two or three different
functions. The primary function or numeric character is printed on the key.
Please refer to Appendix A – Key Maps for instruction on the unique keypresses to access the
available keyboard functions.
Stylus Data Entry
Note: Th is section is directed to the HX2 daily user. The assumption is that the mobile device
has been configured and the touch screen calibrated by the System Administrator prior to
releasing the HX2 for daily use. The touch screen should be calibrated before initial use.
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 touchscreen 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 a serial port.
Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.
The cursor begins to flash in the field.
The unit is ready to accept data from either the physical keypad, virtual keyboard, or the ring
scanner.
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touchscreen.
Place the stylus in the stylus holder when not in use. There is a built in stylus holder on the hip flip
and the armband.

HX2 Rubber Boot Assembly
The rubber boot is a lightweight, flexible cov ering for the HX2 housing. The rubber boot cannot
protect the HX2 from destructive, excessive force. It is designed to protect the HX2 housing from
minor, trivial bumps or jostling. The rubber boot does not inhibit tethered devices, cradle docking,
Hip Flip assembly or Armband assembly.
Note: Remove the rubber boot when placing the HX2 in a voice case.
The rubber boot slips over the front edges and halfway down the sides of the HX2, leaving the
touch screen, keypad, LXE logo and the HX2 logo visible.
Optional Equipment
Figure 37 HX2 Rubber Boot
Gently stretch the rubber boot over each corner of the front housing until the rubber boot fits
snugly. It can be removed for cleaning, if necessary.
Smaller openings are available in the rubber boot to
• allow access to the cradle connector on the bottom of the HX2
• allow audible signals from the internal speaker to be heard
• and allow audible signals to be sent through the internal microphone.
Protective Film for the Screen Display
First, clean the display 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 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.
