E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C
Introduction
Overview
The LXE MX3X is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET equipped
mobile computer capable of wireless data communications. The mobile device can transmit
information using a 2.4 GHz radio (with an internally mounted antenna) and it can store
information for later transmission through an RS-232, InfraRed, or USB port.
The mobile device is horizontally oriented and features backlighting for the display. The touchscreen display supports graphic features and Windows icons that the Windows CE .NET operating
system supports. The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material that can
easily be seen in dimly lighted areas.
Throughout this guide, an MX3X without an RFID Module is labeled “MX3X”. The MX3X
with an RFID Module is labeled “MX3-RFID”. Information specific to one or the other is
labeled appropriately. No distinction is made to information that is the same for both mobile
devices.
The MX3-RFID version of the MX3X has an RFID module permanently attached to the back of
the device. If there is no distinction between directions for the user with an MX3X and a user with
a MX3-RFID mobile device, the instruction or information in this guide is the same for both
versions unless noted.
This device is a Windows CE .NET compatible computer that can be scaled from a limited
function batch computer to an integrated RF scanning computer.
The stylus in the Stylus Kit (shipped with unit) is used to assist in entering data and configuring
the unit. Protective film for the touchscreen is available as an accessory.
Note:
E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C
Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is
always drawing power from the batteries (On).

Quick Start
Important
If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to “MX3X Reference Guide”,
“AppLock” for setup and processing information before continuing.
Note:
When your mobile device is pre-configured, the radio, PCMCIA card and endcaps are
assembled by LXE to your specifications.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. handstrap, 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.
This guide takes you through an introduction to and operation of the MX3X with and without the
RFID module.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Insert a fully charged battery and press the Power button.
Connect an external power source to the unit (if required).
If the screen does not automatically display, press the Power button.
Adjust screen display, audio volume and other parameters if desired.
Note:
Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to a USB-C or USB-H labeled endcap port.
These ports cannot power a tethered scanner.
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 – this mobile device is always ‘on’ even
when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Use the Start | Settings | Control
Panel | Power | Battery tab to check the battery status and power reading.
Always replace the used main battery with a fully charged main battery. The Battery Low
Warning LED illuminates red at approximately 35% of power left in the main battery. You need to
determine the point at which battery life becomes unacceptable for your business practices and
replace the main battery before that point.
Note:
E-EQ-MX3XOGWW-C
Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is
always drawing power from the batteries (On).

RFID Introduction
RFID Introduction
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to
automatically identify individual items. The individual items identified/read by a RFID reader
contain a tag (also known as an electronic label or transponder). Unlike barcodes that must be read
by a beam passing over the barcode, RFID tags do not have to be in the line of sight of the reader
before the reader can collect the data from the tag but they do need to be within the established
“read” distance from the RFID-module.
See the “MX3X Reference Guide” for further information and configuration.
RFID Reader Scan Range
Small Tag
12 inches / 30 cm
Class 0 Tag
2 feet
Large Tag
2.5 feet / .76 meters
Class 1 Tag
3 feet
Unlike barcode scanners that require line-of-sight before successfully reading a barcode, the RFID
reader does not require line-of-sight when searching for and reading tags. Pressing the RFID Read
button on the MX3-RFID starts a 360 degree search “beam” that stops at the limits of the scan
range of the RFID reader. The “beam” stops searching when the read timer expires.
Integrated Laser Scanner
The integrated laser barcode scanner can only read barcodes. Tethered laser barcode scanners can
only read barcodes.
The RFID module can only read RFID tags.
• COM1 is the RFID module.
• COM3 is the integrated barcode scanner.
RFID Device and LXE Cradles
The MX3-RFID device is too bulky to fit in the standard MX3 powered cradles. There is a passive
vehicle cradle available for the MX3-RFID device that secures the device to the cradle only. See
section titled “Accessories”.
Main battery charging and host communication is not available directly through the passive
vehicle cradle. The passive vehicle cradle does not have LEDs or indicators. It does not accept DC
power connection. The mobile device can be directly connected to external power through the
power jack located on the endcap. Host communication is available wirelessly while the mobile
device is secured in the passive cradle.
The MX3-RFID can be connected to DC Power through the power jack located on the endcap
while secured in the passive vehicle cradle. It can also communicate wirelessly with the host while
in the passive vehicle cradle.

Default is After 5 minutes
These mode timers are cumulative. The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User
Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has
expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power scheme timers never place the
device in User Idle, System Idle or Suspend modes (even when the device is idle).
Because of the cumulative effect, and using the Battery Power Scheme Defaults listed above:
• The backlight turns off after 3 seconds of no activity,
• The display turns off after 18 seconds of no activity (15sec + 3sec),
• And the device enters Suspend after 5 minutes and 18 seconds of no activity.

Enter Data
You can enter data into the mobile device through several different methods. The Scanner window
accepts barcode data entry, the RS-232 and the IR port are used to input/output data, and the
keypad and stylus provide manual entry. The RFID module can either read or read and write data.
Keypad Entry
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 mobile device’s keypad 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 pressed, the 2nd key LED illuminates. By then pressing the
desired second-function key the device will then produce the 2nd character. The specific 2nd
character is printed above the corresponding key. The 2nd key LED turns off when key sequence
finishes (unless when setting volume or contrast – the 2nd key LED will flash at those times).
Please refer to “Appendix A - Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all
keypad functions.
Stylus Entry
The stylus performs the same function as a 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. 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 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. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force
(touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure.
The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device
connected to one of the 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, integrated scanner or a scanner
connected to the serial port, if the scanner applet is configured correctly.
Input Panel
The Input Panel icon looks like a keyboard and is shown in the System tray. To show or hide the
input panel, tap the Input Panel icon. Use the input panel to enter information in any program.

Incorrect Scan
Figure 19 Scan Beam
Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the
entire barcode. Move the mobile device towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode
takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.
Figure 20 Scanner LED Location
The SCNR LED turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read the
SCNR LED turns green and the mobile device beeps, indicating a successful scan.
The laser and SCNR LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The
scanner is ready to scan again when the Scan key is pressed.
Large barcodes can be scanned at the maximum distance. Hold the scanner closer to small
barcodes (or with bars that are very close together).
When the scan is successful, the Scan LED turns green, then switches off, and the mobile device
emits a distinctive audible tone.
When the scan is unsuccessful, the SCNR LED remains red until the 3 second timeout (default)
occurs or the Scan key is released. The mobile device emits distinctive audible tones. Check the
following:
• 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.
• Is the scan aperture unscratched and unsoiled?
See the “Integrated Scanner Programming Guide” for barcode samples, default scanning ranges,
barcode reading instruction and troubleshooting.

Tethered Scanner
Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to a USB-C or USB-H labeled endcap port. They are
USB ports and cannot power a tethered scanner.
Tethered scanners connect to RS232-labeled ports on the endcap and, for the MX3X only, can
connect to the RS232 port on a powered cradle.
The Scan buttons have no effect on tethered barcode scanners (connected to the RS232 serial
port). Tethered scanners read barcode scans only when the trigger on the tethered scanner is
pressed. The tethered scanner requires power on pin 9 of the RS232 serial port.
To set the mobile device to use a tethered scanner, select Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Scanner | COM1 (or 2 or 3).
Tap the "Power on Pin 9 (+5V)" checkbox for the COM port selected. The COM port that accepts
the scanner data can be configured for data rate, parity, stop bits and data bits.
See Also: Section titled “Tethered Scanner and Cradles” when using a tethered scanner with a
cradle.
RFID Tag Data Collection
When the RFID Read button is pressed, the reader turns on and the MX3-RFID beeps once if the
tag was located and read successfully. The reader turns off at a predetermined time limit after a
good read or a failed read.
There may be a buzz sound during the time the reader is “searching and reading” if the RFID
reader is configured to buzz during a read cycle.

Touchscreen Display
Figure 21 Touchscreen Display
The Touchscreen Display is an LCD unit capable of supporting VGA graphics modes. Display
size is 640 x 240 pixels. The touchscreen allows signature capture and touch input. A pen stylus is
included. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz. of pressure (or greater).
There are two types of displays available: transflective greyscale monochrome and transmissive
color. The transmissive color display is optimized for indoor lighting. It cannot be used without
the backlight. The transflective monochrome display is optimized for outdoor use but may also be
used indoors. The monochrome display has an electroluminescent backlight. The color display has
a CCFL (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting) backlight.
The transflective display appears to have a greenish hue when the display is off. The transmissive
display appears black when the display is off.
Applying the Protective Film to the Display
First, clean the display of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.
Remove the protective film from it’s 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.
Display Backlight
The Display backlight is turned on when the unit returns from Suspend Mode. The display
backlighting feature is programmable and activates based on power source and amount of idle
time before entering the Suspend state.

IR Port
Figure 26 IR Port (COM 2)
The InfraRed (IR) port provides a means of transferring information to a device with a similar port
and the proper software. The IR port can be used to communicate with printers or a host computer
with the use of an adapter. The IR Port is specified as COM 2 and is a bi-directional half-duplex
infrared port. It supports the Slow IrDA (Infrared Data Access) PHY Layer standard that allows
communication speeds up to 115k baud.
When sending data through the IR port to another MX3X's IR port, make sure both units are in
close proximity to each other. The IR operating envelope has a distance range of 2 cm (.79 inches)
to 1 meter (3.2 feet) with a viewing angle of 30 degrees.
See the "MX3X Reference Guide" for complete instructions when sending data through the IR
port.
Note:
MX3X User’s Guide
ActiveSync will transfer files over the RS-232 connector on the cradle. The cradle
performs a “file pass through” to the IR port on the back of the MX3X.

Batteries
Batteries
Note:
New batteries must be charged prior to use. If the main battery and backup battery are
depleted, the computer reverts to factory default values. RF configuration parameters
will need to re-entered when the depleted main battery is replaced. The backup battery is
eventually recharged by the main battery.
The mobile device is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery from LXE. Under
normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The
more you use the scanner or the RF transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery
recharges. The operating system keeps date and time valid for a minimum of four days using a
fully charged backup battery and a main battery that has reached the Low Warning point.
Main Battery
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 LXE MultiCharger or
the mobile device.
Backup Battery
The internal Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) 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 requires no user intervention. Replacement is performed by LXE.
Note:
An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters)
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 is
recommended to maintain backup battery charge status.
Battery Hot-Swapping
When the battery power level is low, the BATT-M LED illuminates and remains on. You can
replace the main battery without shutting the device off. Place the device in Suspend and simply
replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery. The backup battery will retain data
during a main battery hot-swap for at least five minutes.

Storage Cradles
Storage Cradles
Note:
The “MX3 Cradle Reference Guide” contains cradle installation and technical
information.
There are two types of cradles for the MX3X: a desktop cradle for table top
charging/communication applications and a vehicle mount cradle for vehicle mounted
charging/communication applications.
A passive vehicle cradle is available for the MX3-RFID device. See the following section “The
MX3-RFID and Cradles”.
The powered cradles give the MX3X the ability to communicate with a host computer and other
equipment. In addition, using wall AC adapters or DC/DC converters, the cradle transfers power
to the internal charging circuitry of the MX3X and, in turn, the operating system recharges the
main battery.
The MX3X can be either on or in Suspend mode while in the cradle. The MX3X can be inserted
and removed from the cradle with one hand.
Cables are available from LXE for connecting the cradle to a printer, a personal computer or a
barcode printer. Tethered scanners (for RS-232 cradle connection) are also available from LXE.
Status LED
An LED indicator on the front of the cradle shows the status of the cradle. When the indicator is
not illuminated, there is no power applied to the cradle.

Connectors
The Power connector is located on the back of the cradle in the top left hand corner. The cradle
can be powered, if required, by an LXE US AC Adapter or an LXE International AC Adapter.
When powered, the cradle transfers power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX3X allowing
it to recharge the main battery. A powered cradle supports RS-232 and IR communications.
The RS-232 connector is located in the back center of the cradle. When the MX3X is properly
docked, the bi-directional half-duplex transceivers in the MX3X and cradle are aligned through
their IR windows. The half-duplex IR signals from the MX3X are converted to RS-232 signals in
the cradle and available at this connector.
Vehicle Mount Cradle
This cradle is specifically designed for vehicle mount applications. The cradle restrains the MX3X
and isolates the computer from shock and vibration. The MX3X is inserted into the cradle by
placing the base of the unit in the pocket and then firmly pressing the unit backwards until the
release mechanisms latch and hold the unit in the cradle. The MX3X is removed from the cradle
by pressing the release mechanisms and pulling the MX3X up and away from the cradle.
Connectors
The Power connector is located on the back of the cradle below and to the left of the RS232 port.
The cradle is powered by either a vehicle's 12V battery or from an approved accessory for vehicles
with higher voltage (24 to 60 VDC) batteries. When powered, the cradle transfers external power
to the MX3X, which in turn, recharges the main battery. A powered cradle allows RS-232 and IR
communication.
The RS-232 connector is located on the back of the cradle below and to the right of the power
connector. When the MX3X is properly docked, the bi-directional half-duplex transceivers in the
MX3X and cradle are aligned through their IR windows. The half-duplex IR signals from the
MX3X are converted to RS-232 signals in the cradle and available at this connector.
Note:
ActiveSync will transfer files over the RS-232 connector on the vehicle cradle.
ActiveSync with a Cradle
To ActiveSync, the cradle must be powered off, the ActiveSync cradle cable attached to the
desktop PC and the cradle, then the cradle powered up.
Note:
ActiveSync transfers files to the MX3X over the RS-232 connector on the cradle using the
MX3X070CBLD9RS232AS cable.

Annex to DoC for LXE 6816
With regard to the use of external antennas
The LXE 6816 can be equipped with external antennas. The antennas listed have been assessed with the LXE 6816 pursuant to EN
300 328, and therefore meet the definition of ‘dedicated antenna’. The table below lists the maximum output power setting for the
radio module in order to result in a total EIRP of 100mW or less. Any combination of output power and a specific type of antenna
resulting in an EIRP greater than 100mW is illegal for use throughout the Community and is outside the scope of this DoC.
Antennas not listed below are also outside the scope of this DoC.
