Introduction

The MX5 is a rugged, portable, hand-held computer that uses Microsoft®

Windows® for Pocket PC 2000 or Pocket PC 2002 software. The MX5 can

transmit information using a 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 MX5 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 MX5 can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an integrated

RF scanning computer. The MX5 is powered by a 2800 mAh Lithium-Ion main

battery pack and an internal backup battery.
A stylus is attached to the MX5 to assist in entering data and configuring the

unit.
See Also “Identify Your Device”.

Warning: Standard MX5 units are not approved for Hazardous Location

use.

Important: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely

depleted, the MX5 is always drawing power from the batteries

(On). The MX5 is to be used with a power supply (LXE P/N

MX5A305PSACUS).


If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to “MX5 Reference

Guide”, “Chapter 4 – AppLock” for setup and processing information before
continuing.
