MX8 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D Overview Important Battery Information Note: Tap • • • • • This mobile device’s backup battery maintains it’s charge by drawing power from the 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 maintain 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 the last saved setup defaults when a fully charged main battery pack is installed and the device is powered On again. | Settings | Control Panel | Battery tab. Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX8 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 MX8 to conserve the main battery and recharge the backup battery. The backup battery receives power from the main battery. When the MX8 is connected to AC power and the main battery is being hotswapped, do not disconnect AC power from the MX8 until a main battery is secured in the battery well. Ni-MH backup battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. CAUTION RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.

MX8 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D Inserting Fully Charged Battery 15 Inserting Fully Charged Battery CAUTION RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. ATTENTION II y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type equivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant. Press the Power key after the battery is inserted into the MX8. Note: On first use the MX8 batteries should be charged with an external power source (i.e. AC Adapter) – 5 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 five hours in an MX8 Multi-Charger. Figure 12 Lithium Ion Battery Pack The MX8 Battery Compartment is located at the bottom of the back of the computer. The main battery functions as the battery well cover. Push the battery locking tab towards the I/O connector until it stays in place. Place the battery in the battery well, making sure the tab at the top of the battery pack fits into the slot at the top end of the battery well. With a hinging motion, slip the battery down into the battery well until the locking tab clicks into place and the battery pack is secured to the MX8. The backup battery is trickle-charged by the main battery. Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX8 to conserve the main battery and charge the backup battery. The Status LED indicates battery condition. It is steady red when the main battery is Low. When the battery has sufficient energy the Status LED is unlit. The Battery control panel displays main and backup battery charging and power status ( | Settings | Control Panel | Battery). Checking Battery Status Tap the | Settings | Control Panel | Battery icon. Main battery level, backup battery level, status and other details are displayed. E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide 16 Tapping the Power Key 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 MX8 is always ‘on’ even when in the | Settings | Control Panel Suspend state and draws power from the batteries at all times. Tap the | Power tab to check the battery status and power reading. The following chart is an approximation. Actual battery capacity varies based on usage, ambient temperature and peripherals drawing power from the MX8: 100% capacity 80% capacity 2800 mAh minimum 2280 mAh minimum Deciding when to put a fully charged main battery pack in the MX8 is difficult to quantify because it is very application specific. 2000 mAh may be the cutoff for one customer who uses the mobile device frequently, while 1500 mAh may be perfectly fine for a customer who occasionally uses the mobile device. 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. Tapping the Power Key Note: Refer to the section titled Power Modes in the “MX8 Reference Guide” for information relating to the power states of the MX8. Important: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX8 is always drawing power from the batteries (On). The Power key is located at the bottom of the keypad. When a battery is inserted in the MX8 for the first time press the Power key. Tapping the Power key places the MX8 immediately in Suspend mode. Tapping the Power key again immediately returns the MX8 from Suspend. or Tap | Suspend.

MX8 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D Entering Data 29 Entering Data You can enter data into the MX8 through several different methods. The scanner aperture provides barcode data entry, the I/O port is used to input/output data, and the keypad provides manual (or keyed) data entry. Mobile devices with a touchscreen use a stylus to input data, the I/O port and/or the keypad. An input panel (virtual keyboard) is available in applications that expect keyed input. Using the Keypad The keypad 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 MX8 keypad but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task. Please refer to Appendix A – Key Maps for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all keypad functions. Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is printed on the key. The Orange or Blue keys are pressed when you want to use a “sticky” key function. For example, when you press a Blue or Orange key (the sticky key), then press the key that has the desired second-function key, the second-function key is the “active” key. The specific sticky character is printed above the corresponding key in either Orange or Blue. Using the Input Panel or Virtual Keyboard The virtual keyboard is always available when needed e.g. text field input. Tap the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen to put the virtual keyboard on the display. Using the stylus: • • • Tap the Shift key to type one capital letter. Tap the CAPS key to type all capital letters. Tap the au key to access symbols. Figure 27 Input Panel / Virtual Keyboard Some applications do not automatically display the Input Panel. In this case, do the following to use the Input Panel: 1. Tap the Input Panel/Virtual Keyboard icon in the taskbar. 2. Select Keyboard from the menu. 3. Tap the data entry area on the display when you want to enter data using the Input Panel. E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide 30 Entering Data Using the Stylus Note: This section is directed to the MX8 daily user. The assumption is that the mobile device has been configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to releasing the MX8 for daily use. The touch screen should be calibrated before initial use. The stylus performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a desktop 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. 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. Place the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use. The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device connected to the serial port. • • • Note: MX8 User’s Guide 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 physical keypad, virtual keyboard, an input/output device connected to the serial port or the integrated scan aperture. 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. E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D Entering Data 31 Using the Integrated Barcode Scanner or Imager Use the integrated laser scanner to scan linear barcodes. Use the EV-15 integrated imager to scan 1D linear barcodes. Use the 5300 integrated imager to scan 2D barcodes. • • • Read all cautions, warnings and labels before using the laser scanner. Do not look into the laser’s lens. Do not stare directly into the laser beam. Barcode Scanner To scan with the integrated laser barcode reader, point the scan aperture towards a barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a red beam strike the barcode. Align the beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the MX8 towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam. There may be a tactile response combined with the Scan functions. Laser Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan Figure 28 Laser Scanner Beam on Linear Barcode 2D Imager Figure 29 Imager Bracketed Crosshair Target on 2D Barcode To scan with the integrated imager, point the scan aperture towards a 2D barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a bracketed crosshair strike the barcode. Align the brackets so that the center of the barcode is covered by the crosshair. Move the MX8 towards or away from the barcode until a response is received by the MX8 (beep, tactile response, etc) or the bracketed crosshair times out and disappears. E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide 32 Entering Data Scan Status LED Figure 30 Scan Status LED The Scan Status LED (oval shaped LED below keypad) turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read the Scan Status LED turns green for two seconds and the MX8 beeps or vibrates, indicating a successful scan. If the scan was unsuccessful, the Scan Status LED turns off and a different beep sequence is heard. The laser engine and Scan Status LED automatically turn off after a successful read, or after the timer expires after an unsuccessful read. The scanner / imager is ready to scan again after the Scan key (or trigger on the handle if installed) is released, or after the Scan Status LED turns off following a successful scan. The Scan Status LED turns amber when scanner/imager programming changes, if any, are being saved. When the LED is off, the MX8 is ready to scan again. Tethered Scanners Tethered scanners cabled to the MX8 I/O port are not supported by LXE. Bluetooth Scanners and Printers Bluetooth scanners are paired to the MX8 wirelessly using the MX8 Bluetooth wireless client. Only LXE Bluetooth scanners and LXE Bluetooth printers are supported by LXE. See Accessories. Voice Data Data is entered into the MX8 by speaking into the headset’s microphone when prompted. Please contact your System Administrator if assistance is needed with the voice software. MX8 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D Bluetooth Devices 33 Bluetooth Devices Assumption: The System Administrator has Discovered and Paired targeted Bluetooth devices for each MX8. The System Administrator has also enabled / disabled Bluetooth settings and assigned a Computer Friendly Name for each MX8. See the MX8 Reference Guide for information and instruction on the MX8, 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 MX8. Only LXE printers or scanners are recognized and displayed in the Bluetooth panel. All other Bluetooth devices are ignored (see MX8 Reference Guide for details). Taskbar Icon Legend Bluetooth module is connected to one or more of the targeted Bluetooth device(s). MX8 is not connected to any Bluetooth device. MX8 is ready to connect with any Bluetooth device. MX8 is out of range of all paired Bluetooth device(s). Connection is inactive. Note: When an active paired device, not the MX8, enters Suspend Mode, is turned Off or leaves the MX8 Bluetooth scan range, the Bluetooth connection between the linked device and the MX8 is lost. There may be audible or visual signals as paired devices disconnect from the MX8. Notes: • • • • The MX8 does not have a Bluetooth managed LED. The LED on the Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation; the Scan LED on the MX8 does not illuminate. Barcode data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the MX8 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 MX8 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 MX8 while AppLock is in control. Mobile Bluetooth Accessories Using the Bluetooth Barcode reader, scan the (Lnk) pairing barcode located on the MX8 to pair the mobile barcode reader with the MX8.

E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide 40 Saving Changes to the Registry Reset to Default Settings Important:-- Because of the extreme nature of resetting the MX8 to factory default settings, LXE recommends that this process be used only as an emergency procedure and the Warm Boot be used whenever necessary. Two different resets are provided on the MX8. User registry settings can be reset to factory defaults using ClearHive.exe or all settings, which includes registry and the persist keys in Launch.reg, can be reset using Coldboot.exe. Reset Registry To reset the MX8 registry to factory defaults: 1. 2. 3. 4. Tap Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type CLEARHIVE. Tap the OK button. This command is not case-sensitive. A dialog appears, explaining the restore to default settings process. Select either Yes or Cancel. Selecting Yes causes the reset process to continue and factory default settings are restored when the device powers on again. Selecting Cancel stops the reset process. All previous user settings, authorizations and configurations, wireless connection settings, Bluetooth relationship settings and Control Panel parameter settings are cleared. Programs begin installing and messages are shown on the display as each is installed. When the CE Desktop appears or the final application opens, the reset is complete. Calibrating the touchscreen will need to be performed during this process. If needed, change the MX8 Time and Date from it’s factory default value by tapping the Settings | Control Panel | Date/Time icon. Reset All To reset all MX8 configuration to factory defaults: Tap Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type RESETALL. Tap the OK button. Because of the extreme nature of resetting the MX8 to factory default settings, two confirmation prompts are displayed. To proceed with the reset, select ‘Yes’ to both prompts. The MX8 cold boots after resetting the configuration. This command is not case-sensitive. There may be small delays while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for Voxware-enabled applications complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the MX8 startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish. Note: ResetAll.exe vs ClearHive.exe – The ClearHive.exe utility clears the registry and coldboots the MX8. The ResetAll.exe utility clears the registry, resets the persist keys in the Launch.reg file to factory defaults and coldboots the MX8. Saving Changes to the Registry The MX8 saves the registry every time a Suspend function is initiated. The registry is automatically saved every 10 seconds. It is also saved every tenth time the registry settings are changed. Registry settings are changed when control panel property (e.g. Date/Time) parameters are changed by the user and the OK button is tapped. The changes are not permanently saved until one or both of the two conditions above are met (10 seconds elapsed or 10 registry changes).
