 E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide  Quick Start In Brief . . . Note:  When your mobile device is pre-configured, the client, keypad and scan aperture configurations are assembled by LXE to your specifications. The desktop will display a Summit Client Utility icon. This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new device is pre-configured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. stylus) and a power source. LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, the mobile device, and components from electrostatic discharge. In general, the sequence of events is: 1. Insert a fully charged battery. (Always put a fully charged battery in the mobile device at the beginning of the shift or workday.) 2. Connect an external power source to the unit (if available). 3. If the screen does not automatically display, tap the Power key.  4. Calibrate the touchscreen.  5. A white screen will appear during the boot process until all CAB files and applications are loaded and installed. Wireless client setup screens may appear and disappear while files are loading.  6. After all files are loaded and the Microsoft Windows CE Desktop is displayed, adjust audio volume and other parameters if desired. If needed, change the Time and Date from it’s default value by tapping the   | Settings | Control Panel | Date/Time icon.   Figure 11  MX8 Desktop
14  In Brief . . . MX8 User’s Guide  E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D 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 MX8 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. When installed, RFTerm opens and runs by default after every reset. The MX8 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 MX8 startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish.

Inserting Fully Charged Battery  15 E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide 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.
16  Tapping the Power Key MX8 User’s Guide  E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D 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 Suspend state and draws power from the batteries at all times. Tap the   | Settings | Control Panel | 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  2800 mAh minimum  80% capacity  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.

Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus  17 E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus Note:  Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touchscreen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, sharp or abrasive object to write on the touchscreen.  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. Like using a mouse to left-click icons on a desktop computer screen, using the stylus to tap icons on the touchscreen is the basic action that can: • Open applications • Choose menu commands • Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes • Drag the slider in a scroll bar • Select text by dragging the stylus across the text • Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data or retrieving data using the Scan button or an input/output device connected to the serial port. • A mouse right-click is performed by holding the stylus down on the touchscreen. A circle of dots appear and then the right-click operation can be performed. See note. Note:  A “right mouse click” function must be programmed by the customer to accept a Tap and Hold function. An application can choose to interpret this function as a right mouse click. LXE does not support non-LXE application programming.

Entering Data  29 E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide 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.
30  Entering Data MX8 User’s Guide  E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D 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. • 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. 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.

Warm boot is also called warm reset. Hold down the Power key and then the Enter key until the screen blanks. Release the keys and the MX8 warm boots.  or Tap Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type WARMBOOT. Tap the OK button and the MX8 warm boots. This command is not case-sensitive.  Cold Boot Temporary data not saved is lost. All programs are re-launched. Previously saved user settings are restored. Cold boot is also called cold reset. Hold down the Blue key, the Scan key and the Power key until the screen blanks. Release the keys and the MX8 cold boots.  or Tap Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type COLDBOOT. Tap the OK button and the MX8 cold boots. 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.
40  Saving Changes to the Registry MX8 User’s Guide  E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D 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. Tap  Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type CLEARHIVE. Tap the OK button. This command is not case-sensitive. 2. A dialog appears, explaining the restore to default settings process. Select either Yes or Cancel. 3. 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.  4. 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).
Touchscreen Display  41 E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide Touchscreen Display  Figure 31  Touchscreen Display The touchscreen display is an active color LCD unit capable of supporting VGA graphics modes. Display size is 240 x 320 pixels or ¼ VGA in portrait orientation. The covering is designed to resist stains. The touchscreen allows signature capture (using Transcriber) and touch input. A pen stylus is included with the handstrap and the trigger handle. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force (touch) of  4 oz. of pressure (or greater). The color display is optimized for indoor lighting. The display is black when the mobile device is in Suspend mode or when both batteries have expired and the unit is Off. See section titled Calibrating the Touchscreen in the Quick Start section for touchscreen calibration instruction. See the MX8 Reference Guide for full instruction. Cleaning the Glass Display/Beam Aperture Note:  These instructions are for components made of glass. If there is a removable protective film sheet on the display screen, remove the film sheet before cleaning the screen. 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. Applying the Protective Film to the Display First, clean the display of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges. Remove the protective film from its container. Remove any protective backing from the film sheet by lifting the backing from a corner of the film. Discard the backing. Apply the film to the screen starting at one side and smoothing it across the display. If air bubbles appear, raise the film slightly and continue smoothing the film across the display until it covers the glass surface of the display.  If dust, lint or smudges are trapped between the protective film and the glass display, remove the protective film, clean the display and apply the protective film again.

Batteries  49 E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D MX8 User’s Guide Batteries Note:  New batteries must be charged prior to use. If the main battery and backup battery are depleted, the mobile device reverts to factory default values. Wireless configuration parameters will need to be re-entered after reverting to factory default values. The backup battery is continually recharged by the main battery pack. The mobile device is designed to work with a replaceable 3000 mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack from LXE. Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. During very heavy scanning or RF transmitter use, the operating time of the battery may be less. The operating system keeps date and time valud for a minimum of four days using a fully charged backup battery and a main battery pack installed that has reached the Low Warning point. The status indicator is illuminated when the backup battery is being charged by the main battery pack.  Main Battery   Figure 36  Lithium Ion Battery Pack 1.  Contacts, Battery Charging 2.

Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.   The main battery has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary rigors of an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting the main battery making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than an MX8 Multi-Charger or the mobile device. A new main battery pack can be fully charged in 5 hours when it is in an MX8 connected to AC power and 5 hours when it is in the MX8 Multi-Charger.
50  Batteries MX8 User’s Guide  E-EQ-MX8OGWW-D Backup Battery The internal 160mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) backup battery provides power to the device for a short amount of time when the main battery has been depleted, removed or has failed. The backup battery status and conditioning is available using   | Settings | Control Panel | Battery. The backup battery is charged by the main battery pack only.  Recharging maintains the battery near full charge at all times. If the backup battery is completely discharged, it may take up to 5 hours to recharge. The capability to discharge the backup battery is provided to allow the user to condition the battery in order to recover fully backup batttery capacity. Backup battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. The backup battery has a minimum 2 years service life. Note:  An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the computer’s internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and backup battery. Frequent connection to an external power source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain backup battery charge status as the backup battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing main battery. Battery Hotswapping Important:  When the backup battery power is Low or Very Low (  | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Battery tab) connect the AC adapter to the MX8 before replacing the main battery pack.  Replace the main battery pack after first pressing the Power key and placing the MX8 in Suspend Mode. LXE recommends any work in progress be saved prior to replacing the main battery pack.
