Overview

Introduction

The LXE® MX3Plus is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 equipped mobile computer capable of wireless data communications. The mobile device can transmit information using wireless LAN radios with internal antennas or an external remote mount antenna. It can store information for later transmission through an RS-232, InfraRed, or USB port. The device can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an integrated wireless scanning computer.
The mobile device is horizontally oriented and features backlighting for the display. The touch­screen display supports graphic features and Windows icons that the installed Windows operating system supports. The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material that can easily be seen in dimly lighted areas.
Device-specific cables are available for all versions. The stylus in the Stylus Kit (shipped with each 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 main and backu p b at t eri es (On).

MX3Plus without Touchscreen 9

MX3Plus without Touchscreen

If an MX3Plus is not equipped with a touchscreen of if your system administrator has disabled the
touchscreen, please see the Keypad Shortcuts section, later in this manual, for helpful keypress
sequences.
Your system administrator may need to use LXEConnect to configure the MX3Plus. Complete
details on using LXEConnect to configure the MX3Plus are in the MX3Plus Reference Guide.

Quick Start

Important
If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to MX3Plus 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 MX3Plus.
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.

Troubleshooting

Can’t align the screen, change the date/time or adjust the volume.
Touchscreen is not accepting stylus taps or need recalibration.
MX3Plus seems to lockup as soon as it is warm booted.
These ports cannot power a tethered scanner.
AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock restricts access to the control panels. Contact your System Administrator.
Press <Ctrl>+<Esc> to force the Start Menu to appear. Use the tab, backtab and cursor keys to move the cursor from element to element.
There may be slight delays while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for voice-enabled applications complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the MX3Plus startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re­establish. When the desktop appears or an application begins, the MX3Plus is ready for use.

10 About Lithium-Ion Batteries

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 a re completely depleted, the mobile d evice is
always drawing power from the batteries (On).
MX3Plus User’s Guide E-EQ-MX3PLUSOGWW-B
Page 19
Insert Main Battery 11

Insert Main Battery

Press the Power button after the battery is inserted into the battery compartment.
Note: New batteries must be charged prior to first use. This process takes up to four hours in
an LXE Multi-Charger Plus and eight hours with an external power source connected to the power jack on the endcap of the mobile device.
The Main Battery compartment is located at the bottom of the back of the computer. The arrows in
the figure titled Battery Contacts point to the battery contacts in the computer. The figure titled Main Battery shows the cradle and charger contacts on the back of the main battery.
Place the battery in the compartment, making sure the side of the battery with six contacts matches up with the battery contacts in the computer battery compartment. Do not slide the battery sideways into the compartment.
Firmly press the battery into the compartment until the Retaining Clip on the battery clicks. The battery is now securely fastened to the computer. The computer draws power from the battery immediately upon successful connection.
Note: Do not cover the vent aperture in the b attery well (vent aperture is lo cated in the top left
area of the battery well) with anything other than the main battery.

Check Battery Status

Tap the Start | Settings | Control Panel | Power icon. Main and backup battery level, status and Power Scheme timeout setting options are displayed.

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus 17

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touchscreen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, abrasive or sharp object to write on the touchscreen.
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.
Like using a mouse to left-click icons on a desktop computer screen, using the stylus to tap icons on the touchscreen 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 or retrieving data using the

Entering the Multi AppLock Activation Key

Note: The touch screen must be enabled. See the MX3Plus Reference Guide for AppLock
instruction.
AppLock may be installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock restricts access to programs and the Windows CE Control Panel. Please contact your system administrator for instruction.
Figure 16 End-User Multi Applock Touch Panel Segment
A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the MX3Plus default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated.

Using a Stylus Tap

When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows one above the other) is visible at the far right in the taskbar. The taskbar is always visible on top of the application in focus.
When the user taps the Switchpad icon, a menu is displayed showing the applications available to the end-user. They can tap an application name in the popup menu and the selected application is brought to the foreground. The previous application continues to run in the background. Stylus taps affect the application in focus only. When the user needs to use the Input Panel, they tap the Keyboard option. Input Panel taps affect the application in focus only.
The figure shown above is an example and is shown only to aid in describing how the user can switch between applications using a stylus. The switchpad lists user applications as well as the Keyboard option.

Using the Switch Key Sequence

One switch key sequence (or hotkey) is defined by the administrator for the end-user to use when switching between locked applications. This is known as the Activation key. The Activation key is assigned by the Administrator using the Global Key parameter (the default Global Key is <Ctrl>+<Spc>). When the switch key sequence is pressed on the keypad, the next application in the AppLock configuration is moved to the foreground and the previous application moves to the background. The previous application continues to run in the background. End-user key presses affect the application in focus only.
Note that the system administrator may have assigned a different key sequence to use when switching applications.

Enter Data 23

Enter Data

You can enter data into the mobile device through several different methods. The Scanner window accepts barcode data entry, the RS-232 and the IR port are used to input/output data, and the keypad and stylus provide manual entry.

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 mobile device’s keypad but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task.
Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is printed on the key.
For example, when the 2nd key is pressed, the 2 desired second-function key the device will then produce the 2nd character. The specific 2nd character is printed above the corresponding key. The 2 finishes (unless when setting volume– the 2

key LED will flash at those times).

Stylus Entry

Input Panel

The stylus performs the same function as a 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 – single tap or double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider bars, etcetera. Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use an actual pen, pencil, sharp or abrasive object to write on the touchscreen.
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 one of the serial ports.
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 keyboard, integrated scanner or a
scanner connected to the serial port, if the scanner applet is configured correctly.
The Input Panel icon looks like a keyboard and is shown in the System tray. To show or hide the input panel, tap the Input Panel icon. Use the input panel to enter information in any program.

The SCNR LED turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read the SCNR LED turns green and the mobile device beeps, indicating a successful scan.
The laser and SCNR LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The scanner is ready to scan again when the Scan key is pressed.
Large barcodes can be scanned at the maximum distance. Hold the scanner closer to small barcodes (or with bars that are very close together).
When the scan is successful, the Scan LED turns green, then switches off, and the mobile device emits a distinctive audible tone.
When the scan is unsuccessful, the SCNR LED remains red until the 3 second timeout (default) occurs or the Scan key is released. The mobile device emits distinctive audible tones. Check the following:
Check the barcode for marks or physical damage e.g. ripped label, missing section,
etc.
Try scanning test symbols of the same code type at different distances and angles.
Is the scan aperture unscratched and unsoiled?
See the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide for Windows Devices for parameter barcodes,
default scanning ranges, barcode reading instruction and troubleshooting.

Entering Data
Data is entered into the mobile device by speaking into the headset’s microphone when prompted.
Please contact your System Administrator if assistance is needed with the voice software installed on the mobile device.
Note: When the MX3Plus endcap has a remote antenna connector, it does not have an audio
jack.

Tethered Scanner

Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to a USB-C or USB-H labeled endcap port. They are USB ports and cannot power a tethered scanner.
Some endcap configurations contain a single serial port or dual serial ports. These ports are labeled RS-232 and are configured either as COM1 or COM3. Tethered scanners connect to RS-
232 labeled ports on the endcap and, for the MX3Plus only, can connect to the RS-232 port on a
powered cradle.
The MX3Plus Scan buttons have no effect on tethered barcode scanners (connected to an RS-232 serial port). Tethered scanners read barcode scans only when the trigger on the tethered scanner is pressed. The tethered scanner requires power on pin 9 of the RS232 serial port.
To set the mobile device to use a tethered scanner, select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scanner | COM1 (or 2 or 3).
Tap the Power on Pin 9 (+5V) checkbox for the COM port selected. The COM port that accepts the scanner data can be configured for data rate, parity, stop bits and data bits.
Seat the tethered scanner connector firmly over the pins and turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction. Do not overtighten.

Bluetooth Devices

Assumption: The System Administrator has Discovered and Paired targeted Bluetooth devices
for each MX3Plus. The System Administrator has also enabled / disabled Bluetooth settings and assigned a Computer Friendly Name for each MX3Plus.
See the MX3Plus Reference Guide for information and instruction on the
MX3Plus, Bluetooth control panel applet and supported LXE Bluetooth printers and scanners.
The Bluetooth taskbar Icon state and Bluetooth scanner LED states change as Bluetooth devices are discovered, pair, connect and disconnect. There may be audible or visual signals as paired devices re-connect with the MX3Plus. LXE Bluetooth printers and scanners are displayed on the
Bluetooth Devices screen. All other Bluetooth devices are ignored (see the MX3Plus Reference Guide for details).
Taskbar Icon Legend
Bluetooth module is connected to one or more of the targeted Bluetooth device(s).
MX3Plus is not connected to any Bluetooth device.
MX3Plus is ready to connect with any Bluetooth device.
MX3Plus is out of range of all paired Bluetooth device(s). Connection is inactive.
Note: When an active paired device, not the MX3Plus, enters Suspend Mode, is turn ed Off or
leaves the MX3Plus Bluetooth scan range, the Bluetooth connection between the linked device and the MX3Plus is lost. There may be audible or visual signals as paired devices disconnect from the MX3Plus. The Bluetooth remote device should be as close as possible, in direct line of sight, with the MX3Plus during the pairing process.
Notes
The MX3Plus does not have a Bluetooth managed LED.
The LED on the Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; the Scan
LED on the MX3Plus does not illuminate.
Barcode data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the
MX3Plus Scanner Properties control panel applet.
Multiple beeps may be heard during a barcode scan using the Bluetooth scanner;
beeps from the Bluetooth scanner as the barcode data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the MX3Plus during final barcode data manipulation.
See Accessories for supported Bluetooth printers and scanners.
AppLock, if installed, does not stop the end-user from using the Bluetooth application, nor does it stop authorized Bluetooth-enabled devices from pairing with the MX3Plus while AppLock is in
control. See the MX3Plus Reference Guide for more Bluetooth information.

The MX3Plus Hand Held Computer

Figure 21 Touchscreen Display
The Touchscreen Display is an LCD unit capable of supporting VGA graphics modes. Display size is 640 x 240 pixels. The touchscreen allows signature capture and touch input. A pen stylus is included. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz. of pressure (or greater).
The display type is either:
An active transmissive display optimized for indoor viewing, or
An active transflecive display optimized for outdoor viewing. A VX3Plus with this
display includes a “sun” logo to the bottom left of the keypad.

Applying the Protective Film to the Display

First, clean the display of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges (see Cleaning the Glass Display/Scanner Aperture).
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.

Display Backlight

The Display backlight is turned on when the unit returns from Suspend Mode. The display backlighting feature is programmable and activates based on power source and amount of idle time before entering the Suspend state.

Batteries 43

Batteries

Note: New batteries must be charged prior to use. If the main battery and backup battery are
depleted, the computer reverts to factory default values. RF configuration parameters will need to re-entered when the depleted main battery is rep laced. The ba ckup battery is eventually recharged by the main battery.
The mobile device is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery from LXE. Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the scanner or the RF transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery recharges. The operating system keeps date and time valid for a minimum of four days using a fully charged backup battery and a main battery that has reached the Low Warning point.

Main Battery

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

Backup Battery

The internal Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) backup battery provides power to the device for a short amount of time when the main battery has been depleted, removed or has failed. The backup battery requires no user intervention. Replacement is performed by LXE.
Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters)
transfers power to the computer’s internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and backup battery. Frequent connection to an external power source is recommended to maintain backup battery charge status.

Battery Hot-Swapping

When the battery power level is low, the BATT-M LED illuminates and remains on. You can replace the main battery without shutting the device off. Place the device in Suspend and simply replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery. The backup battery will retain data during a main battery hot-swap for at least five minutes.

Storage Cradles

Note: The MX3 Cradle Reference Guide contains cradle installation and technical information.
There are two types of cradles for the MX3Plus: a desktop cradle for table top charging/communication applications and a vehicle mount cradle for vehicle mounted charging/communication applications.

Status LED

The powered cradles give the MX3Plus the ability to communicate with a host computer and other equipment. In addition, using wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters, the cradle transfers power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX3Plus and, in turn, the operating system recharges the main battery.
The MX3Plus can be either on or in Suspend mode while in the cradle. The MX3Plus can be inserted and removed from the cradle with one hand.
Cables are available from LXE for connecting the cradle to a printer, a personal computer or a barcode printer. Tethered scanners (for RS-232 cradle connection) are also available from LXE.
An LED indicator on the front of the standard MX3 cradle shows the status of the cradle. When the indicator is not illuminated, there is no power applied to the cradle.
