Quick Start 3 E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B VX3X User’s Guide Quick Start This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured and requires only accessory installation and a power source. Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the VX3X, 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 VX3X. In general, the sequence of events is: 1. Install RAM ball on back of VX3X. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket on vehicle and secure VX3X in Mounting Bracket Assembly (see “Installation”, later in this manual). 2. Connect power cable to the VX3X. If using DC power, please refer to “Vehicle 12-80VDC Power Connection”, later in this manual, for instructions, warnings and fuse information. 3. Connect accessories to VX3X, e.g. scanner, etc. 4. Secure all cables to the VX3X with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps. 5. Turn the VX3X on. 6. When instructed, calibrate the touchscreen. 7. The screen may appear white while applications and drivers are loading. When complete, set Date and Time (see the “VX3X Reference Guide”). 8. Configure radio (see the “VX3X Reference Guide”). 9. Warmboot to ensure all registry settings are saved. 10. Device is ready for use. The VX3X should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it: • Does not obstruct the vehicle driver’s vision or safe vehicle operation. • Can be easily accessed by anyone seated in the driver’s seat. ! If your VX3X has AppLock installed, please contact your system administrator for setup and processing information. AppLock is configured by an administrator to limit general users to only certain programs.
4 Quick Start VX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B Troubleshooting Can’t calibrate the touch screen, change the date/time or adjust the volume. AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device.

8 AppLock and the VX3X VX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B AppLock and the VX3X 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 details. Single Application AppLock Single application AppLock restricts a user to one application. The user is unable to exit the application (or if the application exits, it immediately restarts). Note: Single application AppLock is obsolete. Please contact your LXE representative if you desire to upgrade to multi application AppLock. Multi Application AppLock Switchpad Menu Switchpad Icon in Taskbar Figure 4 Switchpad Menu A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the VX3X default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated. Note: If “Keyboard” is not present in the window, an older version of AppLock is installed. Please contact your LXE representative for upgrade information, if desired. Using the Touchscreen Note: The touch screen must be enabled. When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows one above the other) is displayed 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 user. The user 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.
AppLock and the VX3X 9 E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B VX3X User’s Guide 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. Using the Keypad 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. 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. See the VX3X Reference Guide for AppLock setup instruction.

The QWERTY Keyboard 11 E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B VX3X User’s Guide Key Functions Key Function Programmable For information on programming these keys, please refer to the “VX3X Reference Guide”. By default, these keys function as Enter keys, except for IBM 5250 configurations where the left button is configured as “Field Exit”. Enter The Enter key is used to confirm a form entry or to transmit information. How it is used is determined by the application running on the computer. 2nd The 2nd key is used to activate the 2nd functions of the keypad. Printed on many keys at the upper left corner are small characters that represent the 2nd function of that key. Using the 2nd key activates the second key function. Note that the 2nd key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use the 2nd function you must press the 2nd key. To cancel a 2nd function before pressing another key, press the 2nd key again. When the 2nd function is active, the 2nd LED illuminates. Ctrl The Ctrl key enables the control functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Control key. Note that the Ctrl key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use a Ctrl function, you need to press the Ctrl key before pressing the desired key. When the Ctrl function is active, the Ctrl LED illuminates. Alt The Alt key enables the alternate functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Alt key. Note that the Alt key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key before pressing the desired key. When the Alt function is active, the Alt LED illuminates. Shft The Shft key enables the shifted functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Shift key. Note that the Shift key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use a Shifted function, you need to press the Shft key before pressing the desired key. When the Shft function is active, the Shft LED illuminates. When the Shft key is pressed the next key is determined by the major key legends, i.e., the alpha keys display lower case letters – when CAPS is On alpha characters are capitalized. For example, when CAPS is on and the Shft key and the G key are pressed, a lower case g is displayed. Spc The Spc key adds a space to the line of data on the display. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Spacebar. Note that the Spc key only stays active for one keystroke.
12 The QWERTY Keyboard VX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B CAPS Key and CapsLock Mode This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s CapsLock key. Note that the CAPS mode stays active until the CAPS key sequence is pressed again. Each time you need to use a Caps function, you need to press the CAPS key sequence first. To cancel a Caps function press the CAPS key sequence again. When the Caps mode is active, the Caps LED illuminates. The CAPS key sequence is 2nd + F1. • No CAPS AND No Shift keypress – result is a lowercase letter. • CAPS OR Shift – result is an uppercase letter. • CAPS AND Shift keypress – result is a lowercase letter. For information on preserving Caps configuration after a reboot, please see refer to the “VX3X Reference Guide”.

Laser Barcode Scanner Warnings 45 E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B VX3X User’s Guide Laser Barcode Scanner Warnings • Do not look into the laser’s lens. • Do not stare directly into the laser beam. • Do not remove the laser caution labels from the scanner. • Do not connect the laser barcode module to any other device. Caution: ! Please read the caution labels. Avoid exposure. Laser light is emitted from the scanner’s aperture. Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. The scanner uses laser light. The following labels are representations of caution and warning labels placed on laser scanners.

The Barcode Scanner contains the circuitry, scanning motor and laser. Handle with appropriate care. Enter Data You can enter data into the VX3X through several different methods: • The tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial port provides barcode data entry • The serial port and SUB port are used to input/output data • The keyboard provides manual entry • The touchscreen also provides manual entry
46 Enter Data VX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B Keyboard Entry Refer to Appendix A “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 VX3X 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. For example, when the <2nd> key is selected pressing the desired second-function key produces the <2nd> character i.e. <2nd> + F1 toggles the CAPS Lock function. The specific <2nd> character is printed above the corresponding key. Please refer to Appendix A “Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all PC-compatible keyboard functions. Touchscreen Entry Note: This section is directed to the VX3X user. The assumption is that the unit has been configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to releasing the VX3X for use. 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. 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 an input/output device connected to one of the VX3X’s 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 or a device connected to a serial port. Right Click A right click can be simulated on the touch screen. To perform a right click, touch the touch screen with the stylus and hold it in the same location for a short time.
Enter Data 47 E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B VX3X User’s Guide Tethered Scanner Entry The following section is directed toward a generic tethered scanner connected to the COM1 serial port on the VX3X. 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. Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan Figure 36 Scan Beam 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 position, light can bounce back into the scanner’s exit window, and possibly prevent a successful decode. 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. Unsuccessful Scan When the scan is unsuccessful, the scan on indicator remains illuminated and the currently running application may produce distinctive audible tones. Check the following: • Is the scanner programmed for the barcode being read? • 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.
48 Enter Data VX3X User’s Guide E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B Bluetooth Scanners Bluetooth scanners are paired to the VX3X wirelessly using the VX3X Bluetooth wireless client. See previous sections on Bluetooth for more information. Only LXE Bluetooth scanners and LXE Bluetooth printers are supported by LXE. See Accessories. Voice Data Data is entered into the VX3X by speaking into the headset’s microphone when prompted. Please contact your System Administrator if assistance is needed with the voice software.
Bluetooth Devices 49 E-EQ-VX3XOGWW-B VX3X User’s Guide Bluetooth Devices Assumption: The System Administrator has Discovered and Paired targeted Bluetooth devices for each VX3X. The System Administrator has also enabled / disabled Bluetooth settings and assigned a Computer Friendly Name for each VX3X. See the VX3X Reference Guide for information and instruction on the VX3X, 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 VX3X. Only LXE printers or scanners are recognized and displayed in the Bluetooth panel. All other Bluetooth devices are ignored. (see VX3X Reference Guide for details). Taskbar Icon Legend Bluetooth module is connected to one or more of the targeted Bluetooth device(s). VX3X is not connected to any Bluetooth device. VX3X is ready to connect with any Bluetooth device. VX3X is out of range of all paired Bluetooth device(s). Connection is inactive. Note: When an active paired device, not the VX3X, enters Suspend Mode, is turned Off or leaves the VX3X Bluetooth scan range, the Bluetooth connection between the linked device and the VX3X is lost. There may be audible or visual signals as paired devices disconnect from the VX3X. Notes • The VX3X does not have a Bluetooth managed LED. • The LED on the Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; there is no Scan LED on the VX3X. • Barcode data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the VX3X 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 VX3X during final barcode data manipulation. See Accessories for supported Bluetooth printers and scanners. AppLock, if installed, does not stop the end-user from using Bluetooth, nor does it stop authorized Bluetooth devices from pairing with the VX3X while AppLock is in control.
