4 Quick Start

Quick Start

This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. antenna, external keyboard and/or barcode scanner)
and a power source.

Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the VX4,
and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide
takes you through installation and operation of the LXE VX4.

In general, the sequence of events is:

1. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket (and keyboard mounting bracket) on vehicle.

2. Secure VX4 in Mounting Bracket Assembly.

3. Connect vehicle power source to VX4 power cable.

4. Connect power cable to the VX4.

5. Connect accessories to VX4, e.g. scanner, antenna, keyboard.

6. Secure all cables to the VX4 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps.

7. Turn the VX4 on.

The VX4 and its keyboard should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:

• Does not obstruct the vehicle operator’s vision or safe vehicle operation.

• Will be protected from rain or inclement weather.

• Will be protected from extremely high concentrations of dust or wind-blown debris.

• Can be easily accessed by an operator seated in the driver’s seat.

The Keyboards 9

Key Maps

The keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only has 60
keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the VX4 keyboard
supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.

On standard keyboards many keys are found in the Alphanumeric section as well as on the
Numeric keypad (i.e. the 1 key is found on the numeric keypad and above the alpha characters on
standard keyboards). However these keys send distinctly different scan codes when the keys are
pressed. The default codes for the VX4 keys correspond to the numeric keypad on standard
keyboards. In order to duplicate the codes sent when the alphanumeric key is pressed, the hidden
keystroke must be used.

The hidden keys supported by the VX4 are listed in Appendix A, “Key Maps”.

Unused Key Functions

There are several key functions that are not used on the VX4. These include:

• <F3> - The Resume/Suspend function is not used as Microsoft Windows controls all

power management modes.

• <F4>, <F5>, <F6> and <F7> - The Display Brightness and Contrast functions are

not used as these properties are not adjustable on the TFT display on the VX4.

• <F8> and <F9> - The Volume control keys are not used as volume is adjusted via

the Microsoft Windows Volume icon in the System Tray.

nd

• <F10> - The <F10> key is used in conjunction with the <2

keyboard backlight on or off. See “Keyboard Backlight” below.

> key to toggle the

NumLock and the VX4

The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key, however NumLock is On by default in
the BIOS. NumLock can be toggled Off or On using the <2
sequence.

Please refer to the “VX4 Reference Guide” for more information on NumLock.

Keyboard Backlight

The LXE keyboard keys are backlit with LEDs. The backlight is manually controlled using the

nd

Figure 8 The Resume/Suspend Key

The Status LED, located on the front of the keyboard, is illuminated green when the unit is
powered on. The Status LED is dark when power is disconnected.

Note: This LED should not be lit when power is disconnected from the VX4.

The Resume/Suspend key has no effect on a VX4. All power management is controlled by
Microsoft Windows. Windows Power Management contains options to set the display timer, hard
disk timer and standby timer. Please refer to “Status Indicator” in the “Operation” section of this
manual for more details on Windows Power Management.

12 The Keyboards

Control Keys

The VMT keyboard has several control keys. Because of the construction of the VX4 and the
Microsoft Windows operating system, many of the Control Keys are not used on the VX4.

Note: The <F4>, <F5>, <F6>, and <F7> keys have no function as the VX4 has TFT LCD

screen with no provision for contrast or brightness adjustments.

The <F8> and <F9> keys have no function as the sound volume on the VX4 is

controlled with the Sound icon in the Microsoft Windows System Tray.

nd

The <F10> key is used to toggle the backlight as part of the keypress sequence <2

Power Supply 13

Power Supply

Vehicle power input for the VX4 is 12V to 60V DC and is accepted without the need to perform
any manual adjustments within the VX4. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled
“Vehicle 12-60V DC Direct Connection.”

If 12V to 60V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional
external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate
DC level. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “External Power Supply.”

Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible. See section titled
“Installation”, sub-section titled “Fuse Replacement for the VX4.”

Backup Battery

The internal 270 mAh Lithium backup (coin cell) battery provides power to maintain the real time
clock when the VX4 is not powered from an external source. The backup battery requires no user
intervention. Replacement must be performed by LXE.

Caution

!

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same type or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.

Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

How To: Connect Vehicle 12-60VDC Direct Connection

1. The VX4 must be turned off.

2. While observing the fuse requirements specified above, connect the power cable
as close as possible to the actual battery terminals of the vehicle. When available,
always connect to unswitched terminals in vehicle fuse panel, after providing
proper fusing.

ATTENTION: For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should

not be made at any point after the ignition switch of the
vehicle.

3. Route the cable the shortest way possible. The input cable from the connection to
the battery is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). When routing
this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces that
might exceed this temperature.

Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation
to deteriorate.

Note: If the vehicle is equipped with a panel containing Silicon Controller

Rectifiers (SCR’s), avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to
these devices.

Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and
maintenance of the vehicle.

Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable.

Properly sized “crimp” type electrical terminals are an accepted method of
termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG

Display and Touchscreen 47

Display and Touchscreen

The VX4 Display is a thin-film transistor display capable of supporting SVGA graphics modes.
Display size is 800 x 600 pixels. The display covering is designed to resist stains. The touch
screen allows signature capture and touch input.

The touch screen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect touches by a
stylus, and translate them into computer commands. In effect, it simulates a computer mouse.
Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used.

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use

an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touch screen.

An extra or replacement stylus may be ordered from LXE. See the “Accessories” section for the
stylus part number.

Although the touch screen is installed and calibrated at the factory, users may make adjustments to
it by using the Hampshire TSHARC Control Panel on the Microsoft Windows Programs menu.
Please refer to your System Administrator or the VX4 Reference Guide for information on touch
screen calibration.

Cleaning the Display

Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the scan aperture and display. If the glass
becomes soiled or smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex®
without vinegar or use Isopropyl Alcohol. Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based
cleaning fluids since they may result in damage to the glass surface. Use a clean, damp, lint-free
cloth. Do not scrub optical surfaces. If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled.
Lint/particulates can be removed with clean, filtered canned air.

Adjust Screen Display

The color TFT display is an active source of light. There are no provisions for adjusting the
brightness or contrast of the display. The display remains on unless Microsoft Windows Power
Management is configured to turn the display off after a certain period of time.

Note: The <F4>, <F5>, <F6>, and <F7> keys on the VMT keyboard have no function as the

VX4 has a TFT screen.

Enter Data 51

Enter Data

You can enter data into the VX4 through several different methods:

• The tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial port provides barcode data entry

• The serial ports are used to input/output data

• The keyboards provide manual entry

• The touchscreen also provides manual entry.

Keyboard Entry

Refer to “Appendix: Key Maps” for specific keypresses.

The keyboard 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 LXE VMT keyboard 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.

The touchscreen input performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click
elements on a desk top 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. Holding the stylus down for ½ second performs the right mouse
click function.

When using a stylus, 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 touch screen responds to an
actuation force (touch) of up to 4 oz. of pressure.

The touch screen can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output
device connected to one of the VX4’s serial ports.

Scanner Entry

The following section is directed toward a generic tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial
port on the VX4.

Aiming the Barcode Scanner

Aim the scanner away from you, direct it at the barcode and press the trigger to scan.

The Scan On LED (or equivalent) turns red to indicate the scanner is on.

Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers the entire length of the barcode.

Some scanners use a laser aiming beam which then spreads into a wide beam when the scanner’s
Aiming Beam Timer expires. Place the aiming beam in the center of the barcode and hold the
scanner steady until the beam spreads and the barcode is decoded. Beeps may be heard as the
barcode is decoded. Refer to the barcode scanner user’s guide for information on the Aiming
Beam Timer and beep sequences, and the TE reference guide for host generated beep sequences.

The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the barcode.

Distance from Label

Large barcodes can be scanned at the maximum distance. Hold the scanner closer to small
barcodes (or with bars that are very close together).

Note: Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the barcode being scanned. In this

Successful Scan

When the scan is successful, the scanner’s good scan indicator illuminates, the scan on indicator is
off, and the currently running application may produce a distinctive audible tone.
