14 Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus MX7 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX7OGWW-A Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touchscreen. Never use an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touchscreen. 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. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder 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 touchscreen is the basic action that can: • Open applications • Choose menu commands • 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. A stylus replacement kit containing 10 stylus’ can be ordered from LXE. See the section titled “Accessories” for the stylus replacement kit part number. Note: A “right mouse click” function must be programmed by the customer to accept a constant stream of left mouse click messages. An application can choose to interpret this stream of messages as a right mouse click. LXE does not support non-LXE application programming. Keypad Shortcuts Use keyboard shortcuts instead of the stylus: • Press <Tab> and an <Arrow> key to select a file. • Press <Shift> and an <Arrow> key to select several files. • Once you’ve selected a file, press <Alt> then press <Enter> to open its Properties dialog. • Press <Del> to delete a file. • To force the Start menu to display, press <Ctl> and release, press <Blue> and release, then press <Esc> (the Alt key).

16 Optional Accessory Installation MX7 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX7OGWW-A Optional Accessory Installation Installing Trigger Handle (Optional) Note: Either the trigger handle is attached to the MX7 or the handstrap is attached, not both. LXE recommends that, in the absence of a trigger handle, the handstrap be used at all times. The MX7 can be purchased with a customer-installable trigger handle. The handle is shipped with a wrist strap. The handle enables the user of the MX7 to hold the mobile device comfortably while pointing and activating the scanner with one hand. With the handle installed, the MX7 can balance on a tabletop supported by the nose of the mobile device and the bottom of the handle. Pressing the trigger on the handle activates the laser scanner / imager. The trigger performs the same function as the Scan key on the keypad. With the handle installed the Scan key on the keypad remains active. The handle is built of a durable and flexible plastic with a rubber grip that will not detach from the MX7 if the unit is dropped. The trigger handle is a mechanical device. Battery or external A/C power is not required for operation of the trigger handle. The trigger handle does not need to be removed when replacing the main battery. The trigger handle does not contain a battery pack. Figure 11 Handle Attach Points Handle Installation 1.

Entering Data 23 E-EQ-MX7OGWW-A MX7 User’s Guide Entering Data You can enter data into the MX7 through several different methods. The Scanner aperture provides barcode data entry, the Input/Output (I/O) port is used to input/output data, and the keypad provides manual entry. Mobile devices with a touch screen use a stylus to input data, the I/O port and/or the keypad. An input panel (virtual keyboard) is available in applications that expect keyed input. Keypad Entry The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the MX7 keypads but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task. Please refer to “Appendix A – Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all keypad functions. Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is printed on the key. The Orange or Blue keys are pressed when you want to use a “sticky” key function. For example, when you press a Blue or Orange key (the sticky key), then press the key that has the desired second-function key, the second-function key is the “active” key. The specific sticky character is printed above the corresponding key in either Orange or Blue. Stylus Data Entry Note: This section is directed to the MX7 daily user. The assumption is that the mobile device has been configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to releasing the MX7 for daily use. The touch screen should be calibrated before initial use. The stylus performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a desktop computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider bars, etcetera. 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. The touch screen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure. The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device connected to the serial port. • Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed. • The cursor begins to flash in the field. • The unit is ready to accept data from either the physical keypad, virtual keyboard, or the integrated scanner. 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.

24 Entering Data MX7 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX7OGWW-A Scanner Entry Read all cautions, warnings and labels before using the laser scanner. Do not look into the laser’s lens. Do not stare directly into the laser beam. To scan with the integrated laser barcode reader, point the laser aperture towards a barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a red laser beam strike the barcode. Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan Figure 18 Scan Beam Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the MX7 towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam. Figure 19 Scan Status LED The Scan Status LED (oval shaped LED below keypad) turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read the Scan Status LED turns green for two seconds and the MX7 beeps or vibrates, indicating a successful scan. If the scan was unsuccessful, the Scan Status LED turns off and a different beep sequence is heard. The laser engine and Scan Status LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The scanner is ready to scan again after the Scan key (or trigger on the handle if installed) is released, or after the Scan Status LED turns off following a successful scan. Tethered Scanners Tethered scanners are not supported on the MX7. For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination

42 Batteries MX7 User’s Guide E-EQ-MX7OGWW-A Note: An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC adapters) transfers power to the computer’s internal charging circuitry which, in turn, recharges the main battery and backup battery. Frequent connection to an external power source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain backup battery charge status as the backup battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing main battery. Battery Hotswapping Important: When the backup battery power is Low or Very Low ( | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Battery tab) connect the AC adapter to the MX7 before replacing the main battery pack. Replace the main battery pack after first pressing the Power key and placing the MX7 in Suspend Mode. LXE recommends any work in progress be saved prior to replacing the main battery pack. Simply replace the discharged main battery with a fully-charged main battery. A fully charged backup battery will retain data during a main battery hotswap for 5 minutes. Warning: Never replace the main battery in a hazardous location. For Approvals Review - Draft 08 - Not for Publication or Dissemination
