display supports graphic features and Microsoft Windows CE .NET icons that the Windows CE

.NET operating system supports. An illuminated keyboard is available to facilitate use in dimly lit

areas.

The VX7 provides the power and functionality of a desktop computer in a vehicle mounted unit,

with a wide range of options:

4 Quick Start

VX7 User’s Guide E-EQ-VX7OGWW-A

Quick Start

This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured

and requires only accessory installation (e.g. antenna, external keyboard and/or barcode scanner)

and a power source.

Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the VX7,

and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide

takes you through installation and operation of the LXE VX7.

In general, the sequence of events is:

1. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket (and keyboard mounting bracket) on vehicle.

2. Secure VX7 in Mounting Bracket Assembly.

3. Connect vehicle power source to VX7 power cable.

4. Connect power cable to the VX7. The power cable can also be connected to a UPS

battery pack, which is then connected to the VX7.

5. Connect accessories to VX7, e.g. scanner, antenna, keyboard.

6. Secure all cables to the VX7 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps.

7. Turn the VX7 on.

The VX7 and its keyboard should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:

• Does not obstruct the vehicle driver’s vision or safe vehicle operation.

• Can be easily accessed by anyone seated in the driver’s seat.

Figure 9 The 95-key QWERTY Keyboard

Note: The 2

key function is available on the 60-key keyboard only.

Key Maps

The 95-key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 keyboard standard plus Windows

keys) and includes an integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However,

because the keyboard only has 95 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard).

Therefore the VX7 keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but

not visible on the keyboard.

The hidden keys supported by the VX7 are listed in Appendix A, “Key Maps”.

NumLock and the VX7

For the 95-key keyboard, the NumLock key and the numeric keys are backlit green when

NumLock is off. When NumLock is on, the backlight for the NumLock key and the numeric keys

are amber.

The default value for NumLock is On.

The warmboot behavior of NumLock can be configured. Please refer to the “VX7 Reference

Guide” for more information.

CapsLock, Scroll Lock and the VX7

For the 95-key keyboard, the CapsLock key is backlit green when CapsLock is off. When

CapsLock is on, the backlight for the CapsLock key is amber.

The Scroll Lock key is backlit green when Scroll Lock is off. When Scroll Lock is on, the

backlight for the Scroll Lock key is amber.

The default values for CapsLock and Scroll Lock are Off.

The Keyboards 11

E-EQ-VX7OGWW-A VX7 User’s Guide

Keyboard Backlight

The 95-key keyboard backlights each key with an LED. The keyboard backlight is

manually controlled using the “backlight” key in the upper right hand corner of the

keyboard. Pressing the backlight key cycles the keyboard backlight through the levels of

backlight intensity:

• Off

• Maximum intensity

• Medium intensity

• Low intensity.

Pointing device

The mouse pointer may not always be visible. Please see “Touchscreen and Mouse” later in this

manual for more details.

Figure 10 The 60-key QWERTY Keyboard

Key Maps

The 60-key keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only

has 60 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the VX7

keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the

keyboard.

The hidden keys supported by the VX7 are listed in Appendix A, “Key Maps”.

Unused Key Functions

There are several key functions on the 60-key keyboard that are not used on the VX7. These

include:

• <2nd> <F3> – The Resume/Suspend function is not used, as the VX7 does not

support these power management modes.

• <2nd> <F4> and <2nd> <F5> – The Display Brightness functions are not used as

the display brightness is adjusted by the buttons on the VX7 control panel.

• <2nd> <F6> and <2nd> <F7> – The Contrast functions are not used as the contrast

is not adjustable on the TFT display on the VX7.

• <2nd> <F8> and <2nd> <F9> – The Volume control keys are not used as volume is

adjusted via the Microsoft Windows CE .NET Control Panel.

• <2nd> <F10> – Please see “Keyboard Backlight” later in this section for details on

toggling the keyboard backlight.
