E-EQ-MX2RG-L-ARC MX2 Reference Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction and Specifications
Introduction
This reference guide is a technical supplement to the “MX2 User’s Guide”. It contains technical
information about the MX2’s system configuration, disk drives, utilities, and DOS commands.
Included in the appendices are connector configurations for the MX2 and the Single Dock and key
maps for the MX2 keypads.
For configuration parameters and barcodes for setting those parameters, please refer to the
“Integrated Scanner Programming Guide for DOS Devices”, available on the LXE Manuals CD-
ROM and the LXE ServicePass website. This manual is provided as a reference guide for system
administrators, developers, and programmers who want to create end-user solutions for MX2
DOS portable computers. It is not intended for use by first-time MX2 users.
There are two types of MX2 devices available. Both use hand-straps.
No Pistol Grip Accessory (38-key keypad)
Pistol Grip Accessory (Standard with 48-
key keypad, Optional with 38-key keypad)
Figure 1-1 The MX2 Hand Held Computer, Rear Views
Note: Either the Pistol Grip or the Hand-strap are factory installed. Both cannot be connected
to the same unit at the same time. The Pistol Grip handle is standard with the 48-key
keypad.
Note: 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 retain 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
it’s default values when a fully charged main battery pack is installed and the device is
powered On again.
2 Introduction
MX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX2RG-L-ARC
In addition, the MX2 with Pistol Grip Accessory is available with either a 38-key or 48-key
keypad. The MX2 without the Pistol Grip Accessory only uses the 38-key keypad. The 48-key
keypad version is also available with a TN5250 overlay.
38-key keypad 48-key keypad
Figure 1-2 The MX2 Hand Held Computer, Front Views
Note: All keypads are installed and configured by LXE.
LXE offers two basic configurations:
• RF Configuration – a MX2 with a PCMCIA radio and antenna. The unit may be
configured with or without an integrated laser scanner.
• Batch Configuration – a MX2 without a PCMCIA radio and antenna. The unit may
be configured with or without an integrated laser scanner.
Both configurations can use the Single Dock without requiring adjustment.
MX2’s running LXE’s Terminal Emulation programs require a PCMCIA radio, antenna and RF
configuration files.
Note: Both configurations are available with either type of MX2.

Cleaning the Display / Scan Aperture
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(R)
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.
