E-EQ-HX2RG-B HX2 Reference Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The LXE® HX2 is a small, lightweight mobile computer designed to be worn on a person’s arm

or waist. The HX2 is most useful for applications that require computational support while the

user's hands are actively engaged with the physical environment, including piece picking to carts,

containers or conveyers; case picking; parcel moves; and broken case activities.

The armbands that secure both the unit and its battery keeps the HX2 in the ready position at all

times by preventing the unit from rotating around the wearer’s arm. The adaptable armbands can

be worn close to the elbow or near the wrist.

The primary data inputs are a keypad or a ring scanner. The HX2 is voice ready. Voice can also be

used as an input with 3

rd

party software. Output is presented using the screen display or audio

feedback generated by the mobile device and delivered through an internal speaker or audio

headset.

The HX2 is powered by a tethered low profile, light and unobtrusive battery. The entire HX2

wearable computer system features breakaway connections at multiple points and a low-profile,

smooth design to resist snagging on common warehouse fixtures and equipment.

The HX2 has a Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating system with an Intel® XScale®

PXA255 CPU. The HX2 supports an 802.11b/g WLAN radio and Bluetooth

®

2.0+EDR radio.

Connectors are available which interface with

peripherals such as a Ring Scanner (1D Laser

and 2D Imager Ring Scanner), an audio

headset, a docking/charging cradle and a

tethered battery (see Components for port

locations).

The QVGA color display with a touch panel

has a diagonal viewing area of 2.5” (6.3 cm) in

landscape orientation. The display backlight

brightness can be adjusted using a series of

keypresses. The keypad backlight can be either

on or off. The keypad keys can be

programmed to perform multi-key functions.

The HX2 hip flip holster, voice case, rubber

boot, powered cradle, touchscreen stylus and

protective film for the screen are available from LXE as accessories (see Accessories).

Note: Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX2 is always

drawing power from the batteries (On).

Note: If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to Chapter 6 – AppLock

for

setup and processing information before continuing.

2 Overview

HX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX2RG-B

When to Use This Guide

As the reference for LXE’s HX2 computer, this guide provides detailed information on its features

and functionality. Use this reference guide as you would any other source book – reading portions

to learn about the HX2, and then referring to it when you need more information about a

particular subject. This guide takes you through all aspects of installation and configuration for

the LXE HX2. Daily operation, installation and safety instructions for the general user are covered

in the HX2 User’s Guide.

This chapter, “Introduction”, describes this reference guide’s structure, describes HX2

components, contains initial setup instruction, briefly describes data entry processes, and explains

how to get help. Bluetooth pairing instruction is included.

Chapter 2 “Physical Description and Layout”, describes the function and layout of the HX2,

controls and connectors. Also describes the power supplies and docking options for the HX2.

Chapter 3 “System Configuration” takes you through the CE 5.0 operating system setup and the

HX2 file structure. Avalanche Enabler instruction is included in this chapter.

Chapter 4 “Scanner” describes the function, layout and setup for the LXE Wedge.

Chapter 5 “Wireless Network Configuration” details 2.4GHz wireless client setup.

Configuration for WEP and WPA is included.

Chapter 6 “AppLock” covers all aspects of the LXE AppLock program. A mobile device

running AppLock becomes a dedicated, single or dual application device.

Appendix A “Key Maps” describes the keypress sequences for the keypad.

Appendix B “Technical Specifications” lists HX2 technical specifications.

E-EQ-HX2RG-B HX2 Reference Guide

Important Battery Information

Backup Battery -- If the HX2 has been without a power source (connected to a fully charged

tethered battery or docked in a powered cradle) for an extended period of time or if HX2 external

power sources become completely discharged or dead, a fully charged HX2 backup battery will

last for up to 15 minutes. If the backup battery is fully discharged, the HX2 will reset as soon as it

is docked in a powered cradle, and the Power button is pressed, or connected to a fully charged

tethered battery. A reset will cause loss of data and custom programs in RAM . Always store

unused HX2s with a fully charged tethered battery. If possible, ensure the HX2 is periodically

docked in a powered cradle to maintain an optimum backup battery charged status.

To check battery status tap

| Settings | Control Panel | Battery tab.

• Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX2 is always

drawing power from the batteries (On).

• New Standard / Extended batteries must be fully charged prior to use.

• Whenever possible, place the HX2 in a powered cradle to conserve tethered battery power

and recharge the backup battery.

• When a new battery is tethered to the HX2 for the first time (or after the backup battery is

depleted), the Time and Date reverts to factory default values.

• Backup battery replacement is performed by LXE.

The HX2 cradle can charge two standard batteries in less than four hours or two extended

batteries in less than 8 hours in the battery wells behind the HX2 docking bay. The cradle requires

an external power source before battery charging can occur.

The HX2 Multi-Charger can charge up to six batteries at the same time. Each charging bay can

accept either battery. The Multi-Charger requires an external power source before

charging/analyzing can occur.

Li-Ion Battery

When disposing of the HX2 tethered batteries, the following precautions should be observed: The

battery should be disposed of properly. The battery should not be disassembled or crushed. The

battery should not be heated above 212°F (100°C) or incinerated.
