Quick Start 7

Quick Start

Note: When your MX5-IS is pre-configured, the wireless client, flash card and scanner are
programmed by LXE to your specifications. The sequence of steps in Quick Start must also be completed when the device returns from a Cold Reset 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.
This section's instructions are based on the assumption that your new mobile device is pre­configured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. hand strap) and a power source. This guide takes you through an introduction to and operation of the LXE MX5-IS. LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, MX5-IS, and components from electrostatic discharge.
In general, the sequence of events is:

8 Quick Start

Start-up Troubleshooting

Can’t align the screen, change the date/time or adjust the volume.
RFTerm® opens and runs upon each cold reset and warm reset.
Touch screen won’t accept stylus taps.
To set up the integrated scanner barcode reading parameters, please refer to the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide on the LXE Manuals CD or the LXE ServicePass web page. Your device may have an integrated SE1223, SE1224 or SE2223 scan engine.
AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock restricts user access to the control panels. See the MX5X Reference Guide for AppLock setup and processing information..
Tap File | Exit to close the RFTerm application. RFTerm runs by default after rebooting.

Force the Start menu to appear by pressing the right arrow key and the Blue key to access Start button options, then use the arrow keys to select menu options (e.g. Start | Settings ).

Important Battery Information

Important: If the main battery has been out of the MX5-IS for an extended period of time or
becomes fully discharged or dead, a fully charged backup battery will last for up to 24 hours. If this happens, the device will cold reset the next time power is applied from either AC power or a charged main battery. A cold reset will cause loss of data and custom programs. Always store unused devices with a fully charged main battery pack installed. The MX5-IS requires periodic connection to an external power source to maintain an optimum backup battery charged status.
• Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX5-IS is always
drawing power from the batteries (On).
• New batteries must be fully charged prior to use.
• Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX5-IS to conserve the main
battery and recharge the backup battery.
• When a new battery is installed in the MX5-IS for the first time (or when the backup
battery is completely depleted), the Time and Date reverts to it’s default values.
Li-Ion Battery
When disposing of the MX5-IS main battery, 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.

Install Pistol Grip Handle (Optional)

Do not install the pistol grip handle when the MX5-IS is in a Hazardous Location.
The MX5-IS can be purchased with a customer-installable pistol grip handle. The handle enables the user of the MX5-IS to hold the device while pointing and activating the scanner with one hand. Pressing the trigger activates the laser scanner and functions the same as the Scan key on the keypad. With the handle installed the Scan key on the keypad remains active. The trigger duplicates the function of the Scan key.
The handle is built of a durable and flexible plastic that will not detach from the MX5-IS if the unit is dropped.
The trigger handle is a mechanical device. Battery or external A/C power is not required for operation of the trigger handle. The trigger handle does not need to be removed when replacing the Battery Pack.
Either the trigger handle is attached to the MX5-IS or the handstrap is attached, not both.
Figure 13 Trigger Handle Attach Points
Handle Installation
1. Place the MX5-IS, with the screen facing down, on a flat stable surface.
2. Slip the L-shaped plastic hooks, at the top of the handle, into the slots on each side of the
back of the MX5-IS and slide the handle downward until the screw holes are visible.
3. Attach the pistol grip handle to the MX5-IS (as shown above) with the set of three screws and
washers provided.
4. Test the handle's connection making sure the MX5-IS is securely connected to the handle.

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil, abrasive or sharp 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 on the back of the MX5-IS when the stylus is not in use.
In the same manner as using a mouse to left-click icons on a desktop/laptop computer screen, using the stylus to tap icons on the MX5-IS display 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 integrated
barcode scanner or an input/output device connected to a COM port.
• A mouse right-click is performed by holding the stylus down on the touch screen. A circle
of dots appear and then the right-click operation can be performed.
Note: A ‘right mouse click’ function must be programmed by the customer to accept a constant
stream of left mouse click messages. An application can choose to interpret this stream of messages as a right mouse click. LXE does not support non-LXE application programming.
An extra or replacement stylus can be ordered from LXE. See the section titled Accessories for the stylus part number.
Keypad Shortcuts
Use these keyboard shortcuts instead of the stylus:
• Press <Tab> and a <Left> or <Right Arrow> key to select a file.
• Press <Shift> and an <Up> or <Down Arrow> key to select several files. Press
<Shift+Arrow>, then <Shift+Arrow> again for each additional file selected.
• Once you've selected a file, press <Alt> then press <Enter> to open its Properties dialog.
• Press <Orange> then press <numeric dot> to delete the currently highlighted file(name).
Or, tap and hold the stylus on the filename and a ‘right-click’ menu box with a Delete option appears.

Figure 15 End-User Multi Applock Touch Panel Segment
A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. Previous versions used the program icon to indicate the same function. When Keyboard is selected, the MX5-IS 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. Note: If only one application is configured and the Input Panel is not enabled, the Switchpad icon is not displayed.
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 (in focus). 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 tap. 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 (in focus) 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.

External Power Supply for MX5-IS and Cradles 39

External Power Supply for MX5-IS and Cradles

Do not connect an external power supply to the MX5-IS in a Hazardous Location.
The MX5-IS DC adapter can be plugged into either of the D26 pin connectors on the bottom of the MX5-IS.
The cradle power jack is located on the back of the cradle. The MX5-IS is to be used with a power supply.
Figure 28 AC/DC 12V Power Supply
When the MX5-IS is receiving power through a cradle connected to external power, the cradle's Status LED is illuminated.

Batteries

Note: On first use the MX5-IS batteries should be charged with an external power source (i.e.
AC Adapter) – 3 hours for the main battery and 7 hours for the backup battery. New main battery packs alone must be charged prior to first use -- this process takes up to four hours in an LXE MX5 Multi-Charger.
The MX5-IS computer 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 MX5-IS 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.

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 -- the MX5-IS is always 'on' even when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Tap the Power tab to check the battery status and power reading.
The following chart is an approximation. Actual battery capacity will vary based on usage, ambient temperature and peripherals drawing power from the MX5-IS:
100% capacity 2800 mAh minimum 80% capacity 2240 mAh minimum
Deciding when to put a fully charged main battery pack in the MX5-IS is difficult to quantify because it is very application specific. 1000 mAh may be the cutoff for one customer who uses the computer frequently, while 500 mAh may be perfectly fine for a customer who occasionally uses the computer. You need to determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for your business practices and replace the main battery pack before that point.

Main Battery

1. Retaining Screws
2. Contacts, Battery Charger
3. Retaining Clip
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 battery making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than an LXE MX5 Multi-charger or MX5-IS unit. The fasteners are connected to the main battery pack and remain with the Battery Pack through it’s life cycle. Contact your LXE representative if the fasteners must be replaced for any reason.

Backup Battery

A fully charged Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) coin cell backup battery provides power to the unit for up to 24 hours when the main battery has been depleted, removed or has failed. The backup battery requires no user intervention. LXE recommends an MX5-IS in storage have a charged main battery pack installed. Backup battery replacement is performed by LXE.
Note: This mobile device's backup battery maintains it’s charge by drawing power from the
Figure 29 Main Battery
main battery pack. Always store unused devices with a fully charged main battery pack installed. LXE recommends an in-use mobile device be frequently connected to an external power source to retain optimum power levels in the main battery pack and the backup battery. When the backup battery and main battery pack are dead, the mobile device reverts to setup defaults when a fully charged main battery pack is installed and the device is powered On again.

Battery Hot-Swapping

Replace the main battery pack after first pressing the power key and placing the MX5-IS in Suspend Mode. LXE recommends any work in progress be saved prior to replacing the main battery pack.
Simply replace the discharged main battery with a fully-charged main battery. The backup battery will retain data during a main battery hot-swap.
Place the battery in the battery well, making sure the tabs on the bottom of the battery pack fit into the slots at the bottom end of the battery well. Push the battery down into the battery well while fastening the screws. Fasten the screws tight enough to allow the rubber gasket to create a watertight seal. If the screws do not easily twist into the threaded opening, remove the battery and repeat the process.
Warning: Never replace the main battery in a hazardous location.

Checking Battery Status

Tap the | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Status tab to view the current charge status of the main battery. If the status is shown as Very Low, charge or replace the battery immediately. For best results, it is recommended that the MX5-IS use external power whenever available. Charge the main battery pack in the MX5-IS at the end of each work day.
The backup battery charge status is not displayed because it is constantly changing (and constantly charging when the MX5-IS is connected to external power).
Tap the status, charge remaining, date installed and total time the battery pack has been used, and other technical details.

The main battery can be charged in the MX5 Multi-Charger. The Multi-charger must not be used in Hazardous Locations.
Figure 30 Insert Main Battery in Charging Cup
Insert the main battery into any charging cup in the Multi-Charger. The narrow end goes into the charging cup first. The retaining clip snaps the battery into place in the charging cup. Remove the battery pack by pulling the battery straight up and out.
Do not ‘slam’ or drop the battery into the charging cup. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the main battery or the Multi-Charger.
Note: The main battery can also be charged in the secondary battery charging pocket in the
Desktop cradles. An MX5-IS does not need to be in the cradle at the time the secondary charging pocket is being used.

LXE MX5 Multi-Charger (Optional)

The main battery pack can be charged in the LXE MX5 Multi-Charger. Please refer to the MX5 Multi-Charger Reference Guide for instruction.
The multi-charger requires an external power source before battery pack charging can commence.
The external Power Supply connection for the Multi-charger is shipped with the multi-charger.

Cradles 43

Cradles

Important: The cradles are not designed to secure an MX5-IS with a protective padded case. The vehicle
cradle is not designed to secure an MX5-IS with a trigger handle. The desktop cradles will secure mobile device’s with handstraps or trigger handles.
MX5 docking cradles give the MX5-IS the ability to communicate with a host computer and other devices. In addition, using wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters, the cradle charges the MX5-IS main battery. The MX5-IS can be either On or in Suspend mode while in the cradles.
LXE offers three desktop cradles and one vehicle cradle:
• Standard Desktop Cradle
• Enhanced Desktop Cradle
• Enhanced Desktop Cradle with Ethernet Port
• Vehicle Mount Cradle
Note: LXE offers a device similar in appearance to MX5X devices – the LXE MX5 Pocket PC
2002 device. All MX5 cradles can be used by the MX5s. The Enhanced Desktop Cradle with Ethernet Port, developed specifically for the MX5X and MX5-IS devices, cannot be used by the MX5 Pocket PC 2002.
Cradle COM port and power cables are available from LXE. The RS-232 connector is located on the back of the cradle. When the MX5-IS is properly docked, the COM 1 RS-232 interface connects with the DA9 RS-232 port in the cup at the front of the cradle. The cup at the back of the desktop cradles accept a single battery pack for charging.
The Ethernet port is located at the back of the Enhanced Desktop Cradle with Ethernet Port.
MX5 cradles are not approved for use in Hazardous Locations.

Tethered Barcode Scanner Data Entry Using the MX5 Cradle

The MX5-IS supports an accessory barcode label reading device (a tethered scanner) connected to the serial port on a vehicle cradle. Keypad data entries can be mixed with barcode data entries. Any tethered scanner that decodes the barcode internally and outputs an RS-232 data stream may be used. It sends the data to the mobile device in ASCII format.
The serial port parameters may need to be changed to match the parameters of the tethered scanner.
When a tethered scanner is connected to the serial port on a vehicle cradle, the MX5-IS integrated scanner must be configured as follows:
| Settings | Control Panel | Scanner | Main | either Port 1 or Port 2
Select COM1 External on one of the ports. The tethered scanner must be connected to the DB9 port on the vehicle cradle. The cradle must be powered by an alternate AC or DC power source to enable tethered scanner use.
If the tethered scanner is powered by the mobile device, enable Power Output in
Control Panel | Handheld | Comms tab.
