Using a Stylus
Using a Stylus
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive 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 when the stylus is not in use.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen.
Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:
lOpen applications
lChoose menu commands
lSelect options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
lDrag the slider in a scroll bar
lSelect text by dragging the stylus across the text
lPlace the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data
lPlace the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using an input/output device.
A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time.
A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon , usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right click. The
mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks.
Note: If the mouse icon is not displayed, this feature can be enabled by tapping the PenMount icon in the System
Tray. From the menu that pops up, tap Right Button to enable the mouse icon. When this option is enabled, a
checkmark is displayed in the menu.
The Biometric Mouse can be used instead of the touch screen.
A stylus replacement kit is available.

Biometric Mouse
Biometric Mouse
The Marathon contains a biometric mouse located on the right next to the keypad.
The biometric mouse performs two functions, security and screen navigation (simulating a mouse). Use the F9 function key to
toggle between the two features.
Security Features
As a security device, the biometric mouse can restrict device access to only those users whose fingerprint scan is stored on
the Marathon. Examples include:
lWindows logon can be performed with a fingerprint scan as opposed to the traditional user name and password. You
must create a Windows user account with a password, then shutdown and restart the Marathon before you can add fin-
gerprint security to that user account. After rebooting, create fingerprint security, then shutdown and restart the Mar-
athon to save the password in the registry.
lInternet Explorer web site login information (user name and password) can be stored and accessed only after a suc-
cessful fingerprint scan.
lSecureLock, a part of the Fingerprint software package, can be used to create a virtual disk that can only be accessed
after a successful fingerprint scan. Without an authorized fingerprint scan, the drive is not accessible or displayed in
Windows explorer.
lFiles and folders may be assigned encryption that limits access to only those users who have a stored fingerprint.
For information on using the finger print security feature, select Start | Programs | Fingerprint Software | Help.
Navigation
By default, the biometric mouse is enabled for cursor navigation. Sliding a finger over the biometric mouse moves the cursor in
the same direction the finger moves. The sensitivity (motion speed) may be adjusted or the feature disabled. Select Start |
Settings | Control Panel | TruePrint to configure this feature.
Tapping a finger on the biometric mouse is treated as a mouse left-click. Two taps in quick succession is treated as a double-
tap. Tapping and holding is treated as a right-click.

E-EQ-MARATHONRG-A [ 17 ] Marathon™ Reference Guide
The Display
The Display
The Marathon display is capable of supporting WVGA graphics modes (800x480). The display covering is designed to resist
stains. The touch screen allows signature capture and touch input. A display optimized for outdoor viewing is available.
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. An extra or
replacement stylus may be ordered from LXE.
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.
Adjust Display Brightness
The display can be lightened or darkened by using the Fn key and the keypad:
1. Hold the Fn key down for a few seconds until the Fn key remains illuminated (sticky).
2. Press the 9 (brightness up) key to brighten the display.
3. Press the 3 (brightness down) key to darken the display.
The display brightness and darkness have nine levels. The display levels are managed by the Windows operating system. The
Fn key active sticky mode takes precedence if the NumLck key is illuminated (sticky) during this process.
Cleaning the Display
Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the 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.

Like any personal computer, there are many aspects to the setup and configuration of the Marathon. Much of the setup and
configuration of the Marathon is dependent upon the optional features (both hardware and software) installed on the computer.
Since the Marathon uses the Microsoft Windows Plug and Play operating system, much of the hardware setup is automatic.
The examples found in this section are to be used as samples only; as the configuration of your specific computer may vary.
The following sections provide a general reference for the configuration of the Marathon and its optional features.
Please refer to commercially available Microsoft Windows user guides or to Windows on-line Help applications for more
information on Windows’ options for system configuration.
Operating System
This Marathon™ Reference Guide has been developed for a Marathon with a Windows®XP Professional operating system.
The Marathon is available with the following operating systems:
lWindows®XP Professional
lWindows®Embedded Standard
lWindows®7 Professional
Microsoft Windows Setup and Configuration
After the system files are processed, Microsoft Windows begins to load. Windows maintains a System Registry and INI files.
Standard Windows configuration options apply to the Marathon. Configuration options are located in either the System Tray or
the Control Panel:
lThe System Tray contains icons for adjusting the time, date or volume level.
lThe Control Panel contains icons for many other configuration options, such as Power Management, Regional and Lan-
guage Options, etc.
lThe Control Panel icons are also used to add, delete or modify software installed on the Marathon.
Please refer to Help and Support on the Windows Start menu or commercially available Windows guides for more information
on configuration options in Windows.
Microsoft Windows License Agreement (First Boot)
If your Marathon is shipped with a Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed, it is necessary to complete the Windows
licensing/registration screens when starting the Marathon for the first time. To complete this information, you may need the
Microsoft Windows software key that was included with the Marathon.
When Microsoft Windows is started by the user for the first time (known as the “out of the box experience”), a series of
questions is presented. If prompted, the product key (printed on a decal attached to the Marathon) must be entered. The series
of prompts and responses allow the user to configure Microsoft Windows XP on the Marathon according to the user’s needs.
Proceed with the remainder of the boot process.

Marathon Recovery DVD
Marathon Recovery Solution
Contact Customer Support at LXE to get the latest updates before performing the processes that follow.
The ‘Recovery Solution 2’, also known as RS2, is a method to restore the software on your Marathon to the same state it had
when it was shipped from the factory. When RS2 is used on your Marathon, it destroys any information on your hard disk so
please make sure that any information on the hard disk that needs to be preserved is backed up before using RS2.
In order to use RS2, the following components are needed:
1. A Marathon capable of booting from a USB mass storage device
2. A USB DVD player
3. A RS2 DVD suitable for your combination of OS, language and Marathon model
The RS2 works in the following way:
E-EQ-MARATHONRG-A [ 87 ] Marathon™ Reference Guide
Startup
1. RS2 boots from the RS2 DVD via USB
2. RS2 executes the Recovery Wizard 2.0, also known as the Wizard, which guides you through the rest of the recovery
process
3. RS2 partitions and formats the primary disk.
4. RS2 writes an OS image to the primary disk. By default the image from the RS2 media is used. In order to achieve
better flexibility and performance, the RS2 image files can be put on a network share instead. To achieve this simply
copy the .wim file found in the root on the RS2 media to a shared network folder. Please note that in order to access a
shared network folder from RS2 you must use wired Ethernet and the RJ45 port of your Marathon and not WLAN.
5. When the Wizard completes, RS2 restarts the system which is now returned to its shipping state in terms of the
installed OS.
Startup
1. Attach the USB DVD player to the Marathon. Use the standard USB connector instead of the ‘Multi Purpose Connector’
on the Marathon.
2. Insert the RS2 media into the USB DVD player
3. Start the Marathon. Please note that the BIOS must be configured to boot from the USB DVD player. If this is not the
case please modify the boot order in the BIOS of your Marathon.
4. When the Marathon boots from the USB DVD player the BIOS asks you to press a key in order to continue to boot from
the RS2 media. Please press a key when prompted to boot from the RS2.
5. RS2 is now booted and the Wizard will start.
E-EQ-MARATHONRG-A [ 88 ] Marathon™ Reference Guide
Wizard walk-through
Wizard walk-through
1. The first screen shown by the Wizard displays some generic and licensing information. By clicking Next you accept
these licensing terms.
2. The second screen of the Wizard is used to gather information on how the RS2 process should be performed. Select the
method to be used and the source location of the OS image. By default the OS image on the RS2 media is used. By
pressing the button placed on the right side of the field labeled Image File you can browse to the preferred OS image if,
for instance, it has been placed on a network share.
3. The third screen shown by the Wizard lets you confirm the information gathered thus far before the actual RS2 process
is started. When you click on the Next button you will be asked to confirm that you want to start the RS2 process. This
is the last chance to abort RS2.
4. The fourth screen is shown by the Wizard during the actual processing and it informs you of what is happening. This
process could take 30 minutes or more depending on the actual OS image, USB standard, etc.
5. The last screen of the Wizard shows the result of the RS2 process. When prompted click Finish to close the Wizard.
Next press any key to shutdown the Marathon. Please remove the RS2 media when the Marathon has been shutdown
to avoid booting up the Marathon into RS2 again. Your Marathon has now gone through the whole RS2 process.
Loading an Operating System on the Marathon
If it becomes necessary to reload the Marathon operating system there are two options available.
1. A recovery DVD from LXE. The recovery DVD is customized for the type of hard drive and operating system installed in
the Marathon.
2. A user provided operating system. The user must:
lProvide their own installation source of a supported operating system (such as Windows XP)
lHave a valid activation key for that operating system.
Contact your LXE representative for information on the Marathon Recovery DVD.
