E-EQ-MX3PLUSRG-B MX3Plus Reference Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The LXE® MX3Plus is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 equipped
mobile computer capable of wireless data communications. The mobile device can transmit
information using wireless LAN radios with internal antennas or an external remote mount
antenna. It can store information for later transmission through an RS-232, InfraRed, or USB port.
The device can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an integrated wireless
scanning computer.
The mobile device is horizontally oriented and features backlighting for the display. The touch-
screen display supports graphic features and Windows icons that the installed Windows operating
system supports. The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material that can
easily be seen in dimly lighted areas.
Note: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the mobile device is
always drawing power from the main and backup batteries (On).
