4  Quick Start VX7 User’s Guide  E-EQ-VX7OGWW-F 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 VX7, 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 VX7. In general, the sequence of events is: 1. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket on vehicle and secure VX7 in Mounting Bracket Assembly (see “Installation”, later in this manual). 2. Connect power cable to the VX7.  The power cable can also be connected to a UPS battery pack, which is then connected to the VX7. 3. Connect accessories to VX7, e.g. scanner, antenna, etc.  4. Secure all cables to the VX7 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps. 5. Turn the VX7 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 “VX7 Reference Guide”). 8. Configure radio (see the VX7 Reference Guide”). 9. Warmboot to ensure all registry settings are saved. 10. Device is ready for use. The VX7 and its keyboard 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 VX7 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.
Quick Start  5 E-EQ-VX7OGWW-F  VX7 User’s Guide Troubleshooting Can’t calibrate the touch screen, change the date/time or adjust the volume. AppLock is installed and running on the mobile device. AppLock restricts User access to running programs. Changes or modifications require Administrator access. Refer to AppLock in the VX7 Reference Guide for setup and processing information. RFterm opens and runs upon each cold reset and warm reset. Tap File | Exit to close the RFTerm application. The VX7 seems to lockup as soon as it is warm booted.  There may be small delays while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for Voxware-enabled applications complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the VX7 startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish.

10  AppLock and the VX7 VX7 User’s Guide  E-EQ-VX7OGWW-F AppLock and the VX7 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 8  Switchpad Menu A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the VX7 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 VX7  11 E-EQ-VX7OGWW-F  VX7 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 VX7 Reference Guide for AppLock setup instruction.
