E-EQ-HX2RG-D 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.
Based on your installed software version and hardware options, your system may not be exactly
the same as the system described in this manual. Contact your LXE representative for information
on the latest upgrades for your HX2.
2 Overview
HX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX2RG-D
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 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-D 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.
Continuous Scan Mode
If Continuous Scan Mode has been enabled (default is disabled), the laser is always on and
decoding. Refer to Chapter 4, Scanner. Caution: Laser beam is emitted continuously. Do not
stare into the laser beam.
