E-EQ-MX7DKRG-C MX7 Cradle Reference Guide

MX7 Cradles

Introduction

MX7 docking cradles restrain the MX7, re-charge batteries, and enable serial, audio or USB

communication with a PC, scanner, printer or other peripheral device. MX7 keypad data entries

can be mixed with cradle-tethered scanner barcode data entries while the MX7 is in a powered

cradle. Bluetooth device connection and use, while the MX7 is docked, are managed by the MX7

Control Panel Bluetooth program, not the cradle.

Using a wall AC adapter the desktop cradle can also recharge a spare MX7 battery in

approximately 4 hours. The MX7 battery recharging is managed by the docked MX7 power

management configuration. The MX7 can be either On or in Suspend Mode while in the cradles.

The MX7 Vehicle Mount cradles do not have spare battery charging capabilities. Special purpose

and power cables are available from LXE®.

Wireless host/client communications can occur whether the cradles are receiving external power

or not as wireless functions draw power from the main battery in the MX7.

The powered cradles are designed to secure an MX7 with or without a protective

boot

(MX7A490PROTBOOTBLK or MX7A491PROTBOOTYEL), a handstrap and/or a

trigger handle.

Important: Use the power cables provided with the MX7 cradle power supply

adapters. The adapters are incompatible with other MX7 power cables.

MX7 Cradles are not certified for use in Hazardous Locations.

Suggestions / Notes

• Remove cables from the base of the MX7 before docking it in a desktop or powered

vehicle cradle.

• Review the Maintenance section titled MX7 Base Plate Replacement and install a new

base plate on the MX7 if necessary.

• Allow clearance above and behind the cradles for inserting an MX7 with a trigger handle.

• Allow clearance behind the cradles for cable connection ease. Allow clearance in front of

desktop cradles for serial and I/O cable connection ease.

• Route cradle cables to ensure they are protected from jostling, tugging or being

disconnected by objects moving nearby.

• Install the pocket insert in the powered cradle charging well for use with an MX7 without

a boot enclosure.

• Remove the cradle insert for use with an MX7 with a boot enclosure.

• Use care when inserting the spare battery into the desktop charging bay. Do not slam the

battery into the bay, as this action could damage the contacts at the base of the charging

bay.

• Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the cradle. Do not short circuit any of the charging

terminals (pins), as this action could result in injury or property damage.

• Refer to the MX7 Reference Guide for information and instruction when using Bluetooth

scanning or printing devices with an MX7 docked in a powered or non-powered cradle.

6 Tethered Scanners and the MX7 Cradles

MX7 Cradle Reference Guide E-EQ-MX7DKRG-C

Tethered Scanners and the MX7 Cradles

An MX7 powered cradle supports tethered scanner attachment. A powered cradle provides 5V

power to a tethered scanner. The MX7 passive vehicle cradle cannot support tethered scanner

attachment.

Note: The MX7 Scan button has no effect on tethered barcode scanners connected to a

powered desktop cradle. Tethered scanners read barcode scans only when the trigger on

the tethered scanner is pressed.

MX7 powered cradles support an accessory barcode label reading device. A tethered scanner can

be connected to the 9-pin RS-232 Serial Interface port on the front of the desktop cradle or to the

Serial Interface port on the back of the vehicle cradle.

MX7 keypad data entries can be mixed with tethered scanner barcode data entries. Any tethered

scanner that decodes the barcode internally and outputs an RS-232 data stream may be used. It

sends the data to the MX7 in ASCII format.

Figure 6 LXE Tethered Scanners (w/o cable)

LXE 8300 (Symbol) and 8500 (PowerScan) tethered scanners will send scanned data to the MX7

when the MX7 is in a powered cradle and the scanners are connected to the Serial Interface port

on the cradle. See “Accessories” for LXE approved tethered scanners for the MX7.

When a tethered scanner is connected to the Serial Interface port on a powered cradle, the MX7

must be configured as follows:

Select Port 2.

There is no software in the desktop or vehicle mount cradles. There is no software in the passive

vehicle mount cradle.

Bluetooth device connection and use, while the MX7 is docked, are managed by the MX7 Control

Panel Bluetooth program, not the cradle.

Note: The cradle must be powered by an external power source to enable tethered scanner use.

Maintenance 7

E-EQ-MX7DKRG-C MX7 Cradle Reference Guide

Maintenance

There are no serviceable parts in the desktop or vehicle cradles. Do not attempt to open the units.

Desktop Cradles

Inspect the rubber feet and replace them if missing, broken or cracked. If the cradle is broken or

cracked, the cradle must be taken out of service and replaced. If the cradle is mounted to a flat

surface (i.e. desk, table, etc) examine the fasteners and re-tighten if necessary.

Contact LXE Customer Service (see Getting Help).

Vehicle Mounted Cradles

Check the vehicle bracket fasteners and re-tighten if necessary. If the vehicle bracket, cradle or

connections are broken, loose or cracked, the cradle must be taken out of service and replaced.

Cleaning

Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they may result in damage

to the surfaces and/or battery connectors.

Use a clean soft cloth to wipe any dirt, moisture or grease from the MX7, spare battery pack,

charging contacts or the cradle. Do not use any liquid to clean the cradle, battery pack, MX7, or

charging terminals (pins). If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled. Lint/particulates

can be removed from the connectors and charging pockets with clean, filtered canned air. If the tip

of the stylus is dirty, clean the tip with a water moistened cloth before touching the screen with the

stylus.

8 Maintenance

MX7 Cradle Reference Guide E-EQ-MX7DKRG-C

MX7 Base Plate Replacement

The base plate, and the gasket underneath the base plate, on the MX7 may have to be upgraded

before the MX7 is docked in a cradle. In rare cases in which the MX7 will never be docked in an

MX7 cradle, the MX7 does not require a base plate upgrade.

Identify Your MX7 Base Plate

If your MX7 has a stainless steel base plate with a pinhole above and below the screws next to the

input/output port, similar to the picture shown below:

Then the MX7 can be docked in a cradle without requiring the base plate upgrade.

If your MX7 has a base plate that looks like either of these two pictures (and without the

pinholes):

The base plate must be upgraded with the contents of this kit before the MX7 is placed in a cradle.

See Upgrade the Base Plate for instruction.

MX7 Base Plate Kit Part Number – MX7A586RPLCENDPLATE

Upgrade The Base Plate

Equipment Required: Phillips screwdriver (not supplied by LXE)

• You will need a torquing tool capable of torquing up to 2.5 in/lb

• LXE recommends the upgrade be performed on a clean, well-lit stable surface.

• Protect the MX7 internal components from static discharge.

• The base plate should not be replaced in a harsh, wet, or dirty environment.

Remove the Base Plate and Gasket

1. If the MX7 is On, place the MX7 in Suspend mode by quickly pressing and releasing the

Power button or by tapping Start | Suspend with the stylus on the touchscreen.
