E-EQ-MX6PCRG-C-ARC MX6 PPC Reference Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The LXE® MX6 is a lightweight hand-held computer that uses Microsoft® Windows® for

Pocket PC 2002 software (MX6 PPC) and a powerful, battery-saving Xscale™ processor. The

MX6 PPC can transmit information using a 802.11b 2.4 GHz radio (with an internally mounted

antenna) and it can store information for later transmission through an RS-232, InfraRed or

communication port.

The computer is vertically oriented and features backlighting for the display and the keypad. The

touch-screen display supports graphic features and icons that the Pocket PC operating system

supports. The MX6 PPC is powered by a 2000 mAh Lithium-Ion main battery pack and an

internal backup battery.

An MX6 PPC with a 35-key keypad is slightly different from the MX6 PPC with a 56-key keypad

creating differences in keymapping. Portions of this guide will be split between the the 35-key

device and the 56-key device. Sections that do not differentiate between one or the other contain

instructions or information that is applicable to both devices.

A stylus is attached to the MX6 PPC to assist in entering data and configuring the unit.

Identify Your MX6 Device

LXE offers the MX6 with a Pocket PC 2002 operating system (MX6 PPC) and the MX6 with a

Windows Mobile operating system (MX6).

This guide, the MX6 PPC Reference Guide, is specifically for the user with an MX6 running

Pocket PC 2002.

Pocket PC 2002

Figure 1-2 Start Screen -

Windows Mobile

If your MX6 Start screen looks like the Figure titled “Start Screen - Windows Mobile”, please

refer to the MX6 User’s Guide and the MX6 Reference Guide.

2 Important Battery Information

MX6 PPC Reference Guide E-EQ-MX6PCRG-C-ARC

Important Battery Information

• Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX6 PPC is

always drawing power from the batteries (On).

• New batteries must be fully charged prior to use. Individual battery packs can be charged

in a powered single bay charger or a 4-bay battery charger.

• When a new battery is installed in the MX6 PPC for the first time (or when the backup

battery is completely depleted), the Time and Date must be re-set.

• When disposing of the MX6 PPC main battery, 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.

Important: If the main battery has been out of the MX6 PPC for an extended period of

time or becomes fully discharged or dead, a fully charged backup battery will

last for up to 24 hours. If this happens, the device will hard reset the next time

power is applied from either AC power or a charged main battery. A hard reset

will cause loss of data and custom programs. Always store unused MX6 PPC’s

with a fully charged main battery pack installed. The MX6 PPC requires

periodic connection to an external power source to maintain an optimum

backup battery charged status.The MX6 PPC batteries will not re-charge

unless a main battery is present in the device.

The “MX6 PPC User’s Guide” contains MX6 PPC user instruction and information.

Please refer to the “MX6 Cradle Reference Guide” when using the MX6 PPC with a desktop or

vehicle mounted docking cradle.

8 Using the Stylus

MX6 PPC Reference Guide E-EQ-MX6PCRG-C-ARC

Using the Stylus

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. Use only the supplied

stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touchscreen display.

The stylus is located on the back of an MX6 PPC without a handle, and in the back of the handle

of an MX6 PPC with a handle. A tether is connected to the stylus in the handle.

Figure 1-8 Stylus Storage Locations

Pull the stylus straight out of the Stylus holder and 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.

Slide the stylus into the stylus holder on the MX6 PPC 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 MX6 PPC display is the basic action that can:

• Open applications

• Choose menu commands

• Select characters in the Soft Input Panel

• 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 integrated

barcode scanner or an input/output device connected to the serial port.

An extra or replacement stylus can be ordered from LXE. See the section titled "Accessories" for

the stylus part number.
