Features of the MX1 Intrinsically Safe Hand Held Computer
Introduction
This document provides safety instructions, warnings, and regulatory compliance information
important for the safe operation and use of the LXE® model MX1 Intrinsically Safe (MX1-IS)
Hand Held Computer within hazardous environments.
Figure 1 The MX1-IS Hand Held Computer
Note: Although there is an IR window and four battery charger connectors on the bottom of the
MX1-IS device, these capabilities are non-powered and non-functional. There is no
backup battery in the MX1-IS device.
The MX1-IS is a rugged, portable, hand-held computer capable of mobile wireless data
communications. The MX1-IS can transmit information using either a 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz radio.
The MX1-IS has a mandatory protective leather case and pistol grip handle. The leather protective
case allows the scanner aperture, scanner status indicators, system status indicator, display, keypad
and pistol grip trigger to be accessible to the user. The Main Battery Pack can be removed and
replaced without removing the leather case or the pistol grip handle.
The MX1-IS is a DOS compatible computer designed to run software applications such as LXE’s
Terminal Emulator applications (ANSI Plus, LDS Plus, DOS 5250, DOS 3270, TN3270 and
TN5250).
The heart of the MX1-IS is an Intel® 486 processor that is PC compatible. It features a graphics
screen with electroluminescent backlight. The keypad is constructed of a phosphorescent material
that needs no backlighting. The high-impact plastic case is designed to withstand multiple drops in
an industrial environment. The MX1-IS can be stored in a non-powered docking station on a desk
or a vehicle.
Note: The 900MHz radio is obsolete. Terminal emulators requiring 900MHz radios are
obsolete as of June 2005 (e.g. 3270 DOS TE, 5250 DOS TE).

Display 7
Display Backlight
A display backlighting feature is available and depending upon programming, will operate in one
of three ways:
• Backlighting Off. This is the most efficient way to operate the computer with battery
power.
• Backlighting On For A Short Time. This will provide display backlighting for a
predetermined amount of time. Use of this feature will result in reduced battery life.
• Backlighting On Whenever The Unit Is On. This provides full time backlighting to the
display whenever the unit is turned on. It greatly reduces the expected battery life.
Display Backlight Timer
When the Display Backlight Timer expires the display backlight is turned off. The default value
for this parameter is 3 seconds. The value can be adjusted using the BIOS Setup. Refer to the
“MX1 I-Safe Reference Guide.”
Any of the following will wake the display and display backlight:
• Display update by host or currently running application on the MX1-IS
• Trigger
• Any key on the keypad
When the display wakes up, the Display Backlight Timer will begin the countdown again. When
any of the above events occur prior to the timer expiring, the timer starts the countdown again.
Panning
The MX1-IS display can be panned around using keypress sequences so the user can view an
entire virtual 640 x 480 pixel screen. Initially, the 20 columns and 20 rows in the top left corner of

Intrinsically Safe Endcap
The MX1-IS can be configured with several different laser scan-range endcaps. Endcaps are
mounted on the top of the computer case and contain the beeper. The endcap port is designated as
COM 1.
Read all cautions, warnings and labels before using the scanner.
Important
Scanner Endcap
Several scanner endcaps are available with the MX1-IS. These consist of a High Performance,
Long Range, and Advanced Long Range scanner endcaps. Externally they appear identical with
the same indicators. Barcode Scanner operation varies depending upon the application but, once
enabled, the scanners are activated by pressing either the “Scan” button on the keypad or pulling
the trigger on the handle.
The range of a scanner is dependent upon many outside influences including size of the barcode,
quality of the barcode printing, material the barcode is printed on, and angle of the scanner endcap
relative to the barcode label. Any of these factors may result in having to re-scan the label from a
different distance or angle.
Scanner Endcap Indicators

20 Operation
Enter Data
You can enter data into the MX1-IS through several different methods. The Scanner Endcaps
provide barcode data entry and the keypad provides manual entry.
Attention
Powering off or rebooting the MX1-IS before a write (to disk) function has
completed, may result in the corruption of the flash drive. Flash drive
corruption necessitates sending the unit to LXE for repair.
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 MX1-IS Full Alpha-Numeric and
Numeric-Alpha keypads but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish the task.
For example, when the 2nd key is selected pressing the desired second-function key will produce
the 2nd character. The specific 2nd character is printed in yellow above the corresponding key.
Please refer to “Appendix A - Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all
keypad functions.
Scanner Entry
To scan with the laser barcode endcap, point the laser head towards a barcode and either press the
Scan key on the keypad or pull the trigger on the handle. You will see a red laser beam strike the
barcode.
Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan
Figure 16 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 MX1-IS towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up
approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.
The left LED (Laser On Indicator) on the top of the laser barcode endcap will light, indicating
laser emission when the laser beam is being emitted. Following a good read, the right LED (Good
Read Indicator) flashes, indicating a successful scan. Beeps may be heard after a good read,
depending on the application running on the MX1-IS.
The laser automatically turns off after a successful read and is ready to scan again when the Scan
key (or the trigger) is pressed.

Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use. There is no backup battery in the MX1-IS
The MX1-IS computer is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack from LXE.
Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge. The
more you use the scanner or the radio transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery
recharges.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is 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 LXE MULTI-charger
unit.

device.
Critical Suspend State
The Critical Suspend state or mode can only be entered because of a Main Battery Power failure.
A Main Battery Power failure can occur because the main battery pack’s energy has been
depleted.
When the MX1-IS is in the Critical Suspend state the battery icon appears on the screen, the Status
LED blinks red, all peripherals are shut down, the CPU clock is stopped, power is removed from
the PCMCIA card and the MX1-IS may beep. The MX1-IS is saving the state prior to the main
battery failing and cannot be used.
If the Off Timer expires the MX1-IS will turn itself off and all unsaved information is lost. Insert a
fully charged battery pack and press the Power button to turn the MX1-IS back on.
Note: The Off Timer can be configured in the BIOS Setup (see the “MX1 I-Safe Reference
Guide.”)
