Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The LXE® HX3 is a small, lightweight wearable voice computer. The HX3 is designed for use with voice applications 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 HX3 is designed for use in a belt worn voice pouch. A headset provides voice instructions to the user and the user can respond via voice or an optional ring scanner. A display and touchscreen are not necessary for operation and are not included in the HX3. The HX3 supports a limited keyboard designed for use with voice applications. The HX3 is powered by a tethered low profile, light and unobtrusive battery. The entire HX3 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 HX3 has a Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating system with an Intel® XScale® PXA255 CPU. The HX3 supports an 802.11 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 HX3 hip flip holster, voice case and powered cradle are available from LXE as accessories (see Accessories). Note: Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX3 is always drawing power from the batteries (On). Based on your installed software version and hardware options, your system may not be exactly the same as the system described in this section. Contact your LXE representative for information on the latest upgrades for your HX3.

Important Battery Information Backup Battery -- If the HX3 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 HX3 external power sources become completely discharged or dead, a fully charged HX3 backup battery will last for up to 15 minutes. If the backup battery is fully discharged, the HX3 will reset as soon as it is docked in a powered cradle or connected to a fully charged tethered battery. A reset will cause loss of data and custom programs in RAM. Always store unused HX3s with a fully charged tethered battery. If possible, ensure the HX3 is periodically docked in a powered cradle to maintain an optimum backup battery charged status. The Status LED provides battery information. When the LED is… The battery status is… Green – Solid HX3 is booting. Green – Blinking The HX3 is On. The OS has loaded and the main battery has a good charge (or the device is attached to an AC power source). Red – Steady Main Battery Low. If the main battery is not replaced with a fully charged battery before the main battery fails, the HX3 is turned Off. Red – Blinking Main Battery Power Fail. The Backup battery maintains system settings until depleted. Off Suspend or Off. Unit is in suspend mode or both Main and Backup batteries are depleted. • The HX3 uses the same batteries, charger and cradle as the LXE HX2 computer. • Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX3 is always drawing power from the batteries (On). • New Standard / Extended batteries must be fully charged prior to use. • Whenever possible, place the HX3 in a powered cradle to conserve tethered battery power and recharge the backup battery. • When a new battery is tethered to the HX3 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 type of battery. The Multi-Charger requires an external power source before charging/analyzing can occur. When the HX3 is connected to a PC running ActiveSync and LXEConnect, additional battery information can be viewed by clicking | Settings | Control Panel | Battery tab. See Chapter 3, System Configuration for details. Li-Ion Battery When disposing of the 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.

Getting Started Note: The sequence of steps in Getting Started must also be completed when the HX3 returns from a Cold Boot and when a new OS version is loaded. The wireless client, flash card, virtual keyboard and scanner parameters may also need to be reset after a cold reset. This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new device is pre-configured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. headset, ring scanner, etc.) and a battery. LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, the mobile device, and components from electrostatic discharge. Pre-requisites • A fully charged battery is available. • Optional add-on devices are available (e.g., headset, ring scanner, hip flip). • Wireless Client configuration has been completed by the System Administrator. • Required configured (mappable) keys have been assigned by the System Administrator. • Optional software and LXE applications have been installed and setup by the System Administrator. HX3 Quick Start 1. ActiveSync must be installed on a PC with a USB port. 2. Connect the fully charged battery. (Always connect a fully charged battery to the mobile device at the beginning of the shift or workday.) 3. Mount the HX3 in a voice pouch or hip flip. 4. Insert the battery in the voice pouch or hip flip battery sleeve. 5. Attach the ring scanner to the HX3 (optional). 6. Connect the HX3 via a USB-C connection to a desktop PC. 7. Copy LXEConnect setup files from the HX3 to the PC. Install and launch LXEConnect on the PC. 8. Set up the wireless client and network management programs. Refer to Chapter 5 – Wireless Network Configuration. 9. Set up mappable keys. Refer to Chapter 3 – System Configuration. 10. Pair Bluetooth devices. Refer to Bluetooth later in this chapter. 11. Save your settings to the Registry. Refer to Saving Settings to the Registry later in this chapter. 12. Exit LXEConnect and disconnect the ActiveSync connection.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Quick Start Troubleshooting HX3 seems to lockup as soon as it is warm booted. There may be slight delays while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for voice-enabled applications complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the HX3 startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish. When the status LED flashes green the OS has loaded. When the Wireless LED is solid yellow a wireless connection has been established. Setup the Client and Network Prerequisites • Network SSID or ESSID number of the Access Point • WEP or LEAP Authentication Protocol Keys See Chapter 5 Wireless Network Configuration for complete information. Saving Settings to the Registry Some of the options in this section require an ActiveSync connection and LXEConnect. Please see “ActiveSync and the HX3” in Chapter 3 System Configuration for details on establishing this connection. The HX3 saves the registry when you: • Tap Start | Run | then type Warmboot. Tap OK. • Perform a Suspend / Resume function (by tapping the Power key and then tapping it again). • Install Restart in the Start menu by Start | Run | then type CTL RESTART=1 and tap the OK button. Tap Start | Restart. Note: Using any of these methods to save the registry ends the HX3 ActiveSync connection. To make additional changes, it is necessary to reestablish the ActiveSync connection by unhooking the USB end of the cable from the PC and then reinserting the cable. The registry save process takes 0 – 3 seconds. If nothing has been changed, nothing is saved (e.g. 0 seconds) The registry is automatically saved every 20 minutes. It is also saved every tenth time the registry settings are changed. Registry settings are changed when control panel applet (e.g. Date/Time) parameters are changed by the user and a warm boot was not performed afterward. When you tap the Start | Run | then type Coldboot and tap the OK button, factory default registry settings are loaded during coldboot. All user changes and settings are lost.

Note: If there is no beep or no LED flash from the Bluetooth managed printer, the HX3 and the printer are currently paired.

Data Entry You can enter data into the HX3 through several different methods. The Ring Scanner aperture provides barcode data entry, the Input/Output (I/O) ports, the built-in microphone and speaker are used to input/output data, and the physical and virtual keypads provide text entry. Keypad Entry The HX3 keypad provides limited data entry for use with voice applications. The default key actions are up arrow, down arrow, blue modifier and enter. Other key functions can be obtained using the programmable key (Blue+Enter) or by remapping one of the mappable keys. Please refer to Appendix A – Key Maps for instruction on the unique keypresses to access the available keyboard functions. The Blue key is pressed when you want to use a second key function. For example, when you press the Blue key (the sticky key), then press the key that has the desired second-function key, the second-function key is the “active” key. Ring Scanner Data Entry Read all cautions, warnings and labels before using the ring scanner. Do not look into the laser’s lens. Do not stare directly into the laser beam. Barcode Scanner To scan with the laser barcode scanner, point the ring scanner laser aperture towards a barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a red laser beam strike the barcode. Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the ring scanner towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam. There may be an audio response combined with the Scan function. Correct Scan Incorrect Scan Incorrect Scan Figure 1-27 Laser Scan Beam on Linear Barcode See section titled Scan Status LED.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C 2D Imager Figure 1-28 Imager Bracketed Crosshair Target on 2D Barcode To scan with the Imager Ring Scanner, point the scan aperture towards a 2D barcode and press the Scan button. You will see a bracketed crosshair strike the barcode. Align the brackets so that the center of the barcode is covered by the crosshair. Move the ring scanner towards or away from the barcode until a response is emitted by the HX3 (1 beep, 2 beeps, a WAV file, etc) or the bracketed crosshair times out and disappears. The Imager LED may illuminate when the Scan button is pressed. There are three options that can be set by the System Administrator using the Scanner control panel applet: Internal illumination, External illumination, or Both. If external illumination or both is chosen, there are three white LEDs located above the imager aperture that will illuminate for the duration of the scan then turn off. See the previous section titled Tethered Ring Scanner / Imager figure titled Ring Scanner/Imager Apertures. Scan Status LED Figure 1-29 Scan Status LED The Scan Status LED (oval shaped LED on the top of the ring scanner) 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 HX3 may beep, indicating a successful scan. If the scan was unsuccessful, the Scan Status LED turns off and a different beep sequence may be heard. The ring scanner engine and Scan Status LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The ring scanner is ready to scan again after the Scan button is released, or after the Scan Status LED turns off following a successful scan. Voice Data Data is entered into the HX3 by speaking into the headset’s microphone (or the internal microphone located to the left of the LXE logo) when prompted.

Chapter 2 Physical Description and Layout Hardware Configuration System Hardware The HX3 hardware configuration is shown in the following figure. HipFlip and Belt Voice Case Figure 2-1 System Hardware

E-EQ-HX3RG-C 802.11 Wireless Client The HX3 has an LXE 802.11 network card that supports diversity with two internal antennas. The CPU board does not allow hot swapping the network card. Adjusting power management on the network card is set to static dynamic control. WEP, WPA and LEAP are supported. See Chapter 5 – Wireless Network Configuration. Central Processing Unit The CPU is a 400MHz Intel Xscale PXA255 CPU. The operating system is Microsoft Windows CE 5.0. The OS image is stored on an internal SD flash card and is loaded into DRAM for execution. Xscale turbo mode switching is supported and turned on by default. The HX3 supports the following I/O components of the core logic: • One SD card slot, inaccessible to the end-user. • One TTL serial port designed to interface with LXE ring scanner only. • One RS-232 serial port accessible via the cradle. • USB master accessible via the cradle. • USB client accessible via the cradle. System Memory The 400MHz CPU configuration supports 128MB SDRAM, 128MB SD card. SD card location is inaccessible to the end user. The system optimizes for the amount of SDRAM available. The operating system executes out of RAM. Internal flash is used for boot loader code and system low-level diagnostics code. Bootloader code is validated at system startup. The UUID required by CE 5.0 is stored in the boot flash. A second copy of the bootloader code is stored on the internal SD Flash drive, so that if a damaged bootloader is detected, it may be re-flashed correctly. Internal SD Memory Card The HX3 has one SD card interface for storage of operating system and program code, as well as persistent storage. The SD slot is inaccessible and ships with an LXE-qualified 128MB (optional 512MB) SD Flash card. The internal SD flash card supports a FAT file system, via a special device driver, and appears to the OS as a folder. This allows the contents to be manipulated via the standard Windows CE interface. Operating system files are hidden on this drive with a terminal unique identifier in the internal flash, to prevent them being accidentally erased by a user. In addition, the registry hive files are stored on this device. The amount of Flash memory available for customer use is the original SD flash card size less 40MB.

Power Supply The LXE HX3 uses two batteries for operation. A Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery supplies power to the HX3 only when tethered to the HX3. The main battery is either the 2000 mAh (Standard) or the 4000 mAh (Extended) battery. Only one main battery can be tethered to the HX3 at a time. The batteries can be hot-swapped after the HX3 is placed in Suspend mode. Note: Placing the HX3 in suspend terminates the ActiveSync connection, if one is established. The ActiveSync connection must be re-established after the HX3 exits suspend. The internal backup battery is a 50 mAh Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) battery. The backup battery is recharged indirectly by the HX3 with a tethered battery. Recharging maintains the backup battery near full charge at all times. When the backup battery is fully drained, it may take up to 5 hours to recharge. The capability to discharge the backup battery is provided (see the HX3 Battery Control Panel applet) to allow the user to condition the backup battery in order to recover full battery capacity. The backup battery must be replaced by qualified service personnel. The backup battery has a minimum 2 year service life. When the HX3 is docked in a powered cradle, the HX3 receives USB/serial signals through the cradle connector on the bottom of the HX3 and the cradle connector in the HX3 docking bay. The HX3 must be firmly seated in the docking bay before USB/serial communication can occur. An extra standard or extended Li-Ion battery pack can be recharged in the powered cradle while one of the batteries is tethered to, and powering, the HX3. The standard battery is fully recharged in a powered cradle in 4 hours. The extended battery is fully recharged in 8 hours. Note: Docked HX3 -- An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC/DC adapter connected to the HX3 cradle) transfers signals from the USB ports in the front of the cradle and the serial port on the back of the cradle, to the HX3. HX3 frequent connection to a fully charged tethered battery, is recommended to maintain backup battery charge status, as the backup battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing tethered battery. The LXE HX2 Multi-Charger is designed to simultaneously charge up to six standard Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Packs in less than four hours, depending upon battery pack temperature and ambient conditions. The Extended battery packs require less than 8 hours. The HX2 Multi-Charger can charge up to five Standard and Extended batteries when they are not tethered to the HX3. See section titled HX2 Multi-Charger.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Bluetooth LXEZ Pairing The HX3 contains Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to 3.0 Mbit/s over the air. Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains wireless connectivity while Bluetooth is active. The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the HX3. However, the HX3 supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the HX3 displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user’s passcode. Bluetooth will simultaneously support one printer as a slave Bluetooth device and one scanner, either as a slave or as a master Bluetooth device. Blue LED Blinking slowly Bluetooth is active but not connected to a device. Blue LED Blinking medium Bluetooth is paired and connected to a device. Blue LED Blinking fast Bluetooth is discovering other Bluetooth devices. Blue LED Unlit Bluetooth hardware has been turned off or does not exist in the HX3. See Chapter 3 System Configuration, control panel section titled Bluetooth. Barcode data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the HX3 Scanner Properties control panel applet. Multiple beeps may be heard during a barcode scan using a mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth scanner as the barcode data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the HX3 during final barcode data manipulation.

Input/Output Connectors The HX3 has three I/O connectors. Two connectors are located next to each other on the back of the mobile device. Each of the two connectors (one for left-handed users and the other for right- handed users) interfaces with peripherals such as a Laser Ring Scanner, an Imager Ring Scanner, an audio headset and a tethered battery. Connector 1 Located on the back of HX3 and can accommodate a: • Tethered Laser or Imager Scanner • Tethered Headset/Microphone and Battery • Tethered Battery Connector 2 Located on the back of HX3 and can accommodate a: • Tethered Laser or Imager Scanner • Tethered Headset/Microphone and Battery • Tethered Battery Connector 3 Located on the bottom of HX3 and can accommodate: • Cradle • Cradle Power Input • USB Keyboard and mouse through cradle Figure 2-2 COM Ports The third I/O connector is used when docking the HX3 in a cradle. The cradle has RS-232, USB Client, unpowered USB Host and Power connections. The power connection on the cradle supplies power to the battery charging bays. All communication is managed by the cradle.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Audio Support Speaker The internal speaker supplies audible verification signals normally used by the Window’s CE operating system. The speaker is located on the front of the HX3, above the Enter key. The mobile device emits a Sound Pressure Level (loudness) of at least 102 dB measured as follows: • Frequency: 2650 + 100 Hz • Distance: 10 cm on axis in front of Speaker opening in front of unit. • Duration : Continuous 2650 Hz tone. The default is 1 beep for a good scan and 2 beeps for a bad scan. Volume Control Some of the options in this section require an ActiveSync connection and LXEConnect. Please see “ActiveSync and the HX3” in Chapter 3 System Configuration for details on establishing this connection. Volume control is managed by a Windows CE control panel applet, an API and the Blue+White and Blue+Green key sequences. Volume control is covered in greater detail later in this guide. Voice All Microsoft-supplied audio codecs are included in the OS image. The hardware codecs, the input and output analog voice circuitry and the system design are designed to support voice applications using a headset connected to the “Tethered Headset/Microphone and Battery” accessory cable.

Power Modes By default, Power Management is disabled on the HX3. LXE recommends the default Power Management settings remain unchanged. 1. On 2. Tap Power key 3. Power key tap 4. Suspend 5. Tethered battery and backup battery depleted 6. Off 7. Power Restored and On key pressed Figure 2-3 Power Modes – On, Suspend and Off On Mode After a new HX3 has been received, a charged battery tethered, and the Power key tapped, the HX3 is always On until both batteries are drained completely of power. When the tethered battery and backup battery are drained completely, the unit is in the Off mode. The unit transitions from the Off mode to the On mode when a charged battery is attached to the tether or external power is applied (for example, by docking the HX3 in a powered cradle) and the HX3 Power key is pressed.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Suspend Mode The Suspend mode is entered when the user taps the Power key. To extend battery life, place the HX3 in suspend when not in use. The HX3 should be placed in Suspend Mode before hotswapping the main battery. Hotswapping the Ring Scanner does not require placing the HX3 in Suspend Mode. Exit suspend by tapping the Power key. Note: Placing the HX3 in suspend terminates the ActiveSync connection, if one is established. The ActiveSync connection must be re-established after the HX3 exits suspend. Off Mode The unit is in Off Mode when the tethered battery and the backup battery are depleted. Connect a fully charged main battery and press the Power key to turn the HX3 On.

The Keypad The Blue key does not auto-repeat. Default timeout for any pressed key in any mode is 1 second. Figure 2-4 The 23-key Keypad See also: Appendix A - Key Maps. Blue Modifier Key Pressing the Blue key once toggles the Blue mode. The Blue mode is exited when a key is pressed (including the Alpha key). The Blue key does not need to be held down when another key is pressed. When the Blue key is kept pressed down while another key is pressed, then the Blue mode is considered On. In this case, the Blue mode is exited when the user releases the Blue key. See also: Appendix A - Key Maps. Mappable Keys Some of the options in this section require an ActiveSync connection and LXEConnect. Please see “ActiveSync and the HX3” in Chapter 3 System Configuration for details on establishing this connection. Tap | Settings | Control Panel | KeyPad Control Panel icon. Using the KeyPad Control applet, you could set the Diamond key (Blue+Enter) to function as the ESCAPE key enabling you to use one keypress when you want to use the ESC function. See Appendix A – Key Maps for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all keypad functions. The mappable key can be mapped by the user to generate any key code defined by Windows CE.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Batteries The HX3 is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) tethered battery from LXE. Under normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the ring scanner or the wireless transmitter, the shorter the time required between battery recharges. A suspended HX3 maintains the date and time for a minimum of two days while tethered to a battery that has reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged backup battery. The HX3 retains data, during a battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes. Note: New battery packs must be charged prior to use. The Standard batteries require less than four hours and the Extended batteries require less than 8 hours. Checking Battery Status Some of the options in this section require an ActiveSync connection and LXEConnect. Please see “ActiveSync and the HX3” in Chapter 3 System Configuration for details on establishing this connection. Tap the | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Battery tab. Battery level, power status and charge remaining is displayed. Turbo setting is enabled/disabled using this applet. Note: Battery power drain increases substantially in Turbo mode. HX3 Status LED and the Batteries When the LED is . . . The Status is . . . Comment Steady Green Booting The HX3 is booting. Blinking Green On HX3 is attached to a charged Main Battery or to an external power source Steady Red Main Battery Low Low Battery Warning. If the main battery is not replaced with a fully charged battery before the main battery fails, the HX3 is turned Off. Blinking Red Main Battery Power Fail Replace the main battery with a fully charged main battery. Off Off The main battery is deleted, the HX3 is not attached to a power source and the backup battery is also depleted.

Low Battery Warning It is recommended that the main battery pack be removed and replaced when its energy depletes. When the main battery Low Battery Warning appears (the Status LED remains a steady red) place the HX3 in suspend by pressing the Power key before changing the battery. Note: Once you receive the main battery Low Battery Warning, you have approximately 5 minutes to perform an orderly shutdown and replace the main battery pack before the device powers off. The Low Battery Warning will transition the mobile device to Suspend before the device powers off. Main Battery Pack The main battery pack has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary rigors of an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting the battery pack making sure it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than the HX2 Multi- Charger, HX2 Cradle or the HX3 unit. Whenever possible, protect the battery charging terminals (five small round circles) by keeping them covered by the battery sleeve fabric. The battery pack is resistant to impact damage. Under normal conditions a properly tethered Standard battery should last a minimum of approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge, the Extended battery a minimum of approximately 16 hours. Battery Hotswapping Important: When the backup battery power is Low or Very Low ( | Settings | Control Panel | Power | Battery tab) dock the HX3 in a powered docking cradle before replacing the battery pack. Viewing the backup battery status requires an ActiveSync connection and LXEConnect. Please see “ActiveSync and the HX3” in Chapter 3 System Configuration for details on establishing this connection. When the main battery power level is low, the HX3 will signal the user with the low battery warning indicator (the Status LED remains a steady red) that continues until the main battery is replaced, the battery completely depletes, or external power is applied to the HX3 using a powered cradle. You can replace the main battery by first placing the device in Suspend Mode then removing the discharged main battery and tethering a charged main battery within a five minute time limit (or before the backup battery depletes). When the main battery is disconnected the device enters Critical Suspend state, the HX3 remains in Suspend mode and the backup battery continues to power the unit for at least five minutes. Though data is retained, the HX3 cannot be used until a charged main battery pack is connected. After tethering the full battery, press the Power key. Full operational recovery from Suspend can take several seconds while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for Voxware-enabled applications complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the HX3 startup completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re- establish. If the backup battery depletes before a fully charged main battery can be inserted, the HX3 will turn Off.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Note: Placing the HX3 in suspend terminates the ActiveSync connection, if one is established. The ActiveSync connection must be re-established after the HX3 exits suspend. Backup Battery Viewing the backup battery status or performing backup battery maintenance requires an ActiveSync connection and LXEConnect. Please see “ActiveSync and the HX3” in Chapter 3 System Configuration for details on establishing this connection. The HX3 has a backup battery that is designed to provide limited-duration electrical power in the event of main battery failure. The backup battery is a 50 mAh Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) battery that is factory installed in the unit. The energy needed to maintain the backup battery near full charge at all times comes from the HX3 main battery. It takes several hours of operation before the backup battery is capable of supporting the operation of the mobile device. The duration of backup battery life is dependent upon operation of the HX3, its features and any operating applications. The backup battery has a minimum service life of two years. The backup battery is replaced by LXE. The backup battery can be discharged, recharged and conditioned using a CE Control Panel applet. Tap | Settings | Control Panel | Battery then tap the Discharge button. Handling Batteries Safely • Never dispose of a battery in a fire. This may cause an explosion. • Do not replace individual cells in a battery pack. • Do not attempt to pry open the battery pack shell. • Be careful when handling any battery. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do not attempt to charge it. Dispose of it using proper procedures. Caution Nickel-based cells contain a chemical solution which burns skin, eyes, etc. Leakage from cells is the only possible way for such exposure to occur. In this event, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If the solution contacts the eyes, get immediate medical attention. NiCd and Li-Ion batteries are capable of delivering high currents when accidentally shorted. Accidental shorting can occur when contact is made with jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive tools, etc., making the objects very hot. Never place a battery in a pocket or case with keys, coins, or other metal objects.

55 E-EQ-HX3RG-C HX3 Reference Guide HX2 Multi-Charger (Optional) The LXE HX2 Multi-Charger is designed to simultaneously charge up to six Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries at a time, in any combination of Standard or Extended batteries. The Standard batteries require less than four hours and the Extended batteries require less than 8 hours. Total charging time required depends upon battery pack temperature and conditions. There is one bay that is used for Charging only when the Analyze button is not pressed.

Chapter 3 System Configuration Introduction All configuration items in this chapter assume that an ActiveSync connection has been made with a PC and the PC is running LXEConnect. All configuration input is made via the HX3’s desktop displayed on the connected PC. Please see “Configuring the HX3 with LXEConnect” at the beginning of this chapter for details. There are several different aspects to the setup and configuration of the mobile device. The examples found in this chapter are to be used as examples only, the configuration of your specific mobile device computer may vary. The following sections provide a general reference for the configuration of the mobile device and some of its optional features. Based on your installed software version and hardware options, your system may not be exactly the same as the system described in this section. Contact your LXE representative for information on the latest upgrades for your HX3. Note: LXE recommends frequently charging the tethered battery using an external power source (a powered cradle) to ensure continuous charging of the backup battery. Configuring the HX3 with LXEConnect Requirements: ActiveSync version 3.8 (or higher) must be resident on the host (desktop/laptop) computer. Please see the following section ActiveSync / Get Connected Process for more details on ActiveSync. Because the HX3 is a headless design, the LXEConnect utility must be used to configure the HX3. LXEConnect first requires an ActiveSync connection be established. ActiveSync is already installed on the HX3. The HX3 is preconfigured to establish a USB ActiveSync connection to a PC when the proper cable is attached to the HX3 and the PC: ** Cable for initial ActiveSync Configuration: USB Client to PC/Laptop USB-Client cable HX2A001CBLACTVSYNC The USB-A end of the cable connects to a USB port on a desktop or laptop PC. The other end attaches to the HX3. Once the HX3 has booted (indicated by the green LED blinking) connect the cables as described. The ActiveSync connection is automatically established. LXEConnect allows a user to view the HX3’s screen remotely from a PC using an ActiveSync USB connection.

HX3 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX3RG-C Install LXEConnect 1. Install Microsoft ActiveSync version 3.8 or higher on a PC with a USB port. For details, please see ActiveSync / Get Connected Process later in this chapter. 2. Power up the HX3 and verify it has finished booting by observing the Status LED. Once the HX3 has finished booting, the Status LED illuminates a blinking green. 3. Connect the HX3 to the PC using the USB connection cable (HX2A001CBLACTVSYNC). Once connected, the ActiveSync dialog box appears. 4. Select “No” for partnership when prompted. Dismiss any ActiveSync dialog boxes warning a partnership is not set up. It is not necessary to establish a partnership to use LXEConnect. However, if a partnership is desired for other reasons, one may be established now. More details on partnerships are included in ActiveSync / Get Connected Process later in this chapter. 5. When the ActiveSync screen appears, select Explore.

When the remote session is completed, terminate the LXEConnect program by selecting File | Exit or clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner to close the application then disconnect the ActiveSync cable. Note: After using LXEConnect, the HX3 cannot go into Suspend mode until after a warmboot. If using Power Management on an HX3, always warmboot the HX3 from the LXEConnect screen when finished using LXEConnect.

63 E-EQ-HX3RG-C HX3 Reference Guide ActiveSync / Get Connected Process Introduction Requirement: ActiveSync version 3.8 (or higher) must be on the host (desktop/laptop, PC) computer. USB ActiveSync Cable (Type A to cradle connector [HX2A001CBLACTVSYNC]) A partnership between a PC and the HX3 must be established using a USB connection. When more than one PC will be synchronizing with the HX3, each PC will need its own partnership with the HX3 established. See section titled Initial Install for the procedure. After the partnership has been established with the HX3 and the host computer, ActiveSync can be performed over USB, or wireless (RF). HX3 serial connection is not supported in this release. Using Microsoft ActiveSync version 3.8 or higher, you can synchronize information on your PC with the HX3 and vice versa. Synchronization compares the data on the HX3 with the PC and updates both with the most recent data. For example, you can: • Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between the HX3 and PC. Files are automatically converted to the correct format. • Back up and restore mobile device data. • Copy (rather than synchronize) files between the mobile device and PC. • Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, synchronize continually while connected to a PC or only when the synchronize command is chosen. • Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types of information to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types selected) identical on both the PC and the mobile device. If an information type is selected that does not exist on the HX3, the data appears to transfer, but it is ignored by the HX3 and not loaded. When installation of ActiveSync is complete on a PC, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard begins and starts the following processes: • connect the mobile device to the PC, • set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your mobile device and your PC, and • customize synchronization settings. For more information about using ActiveSync on a PC, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help .

HX3 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX3RG-C Initial Install Initial installation / relationship must be established using a USB cable connection between the HX3 and the desktop/laptop (PC). Once a relationship has been established, tap | Help | ActiveSync for help. Install ActiveSync on Desktop/Laptop Go to the Microsoft Windows website ActiveSync Download | Install file location: www.microsoft.com/downloads and type ActiveSync in the Keywords text box. This process should locate the latest version of ActiveSync. Install ActiveSync (3.8 or later) on the PC before using ActiveSync to connect the PC to the mobile device. Follow the instructions in the ActiveSync Wizard. Check that | Programs | Communication | ActiveSync | Tools | Options has the correct connection selected. Refer to USB Connection. When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your PC, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard on the PC begins and it begins searching for a connected device. Because ActiveSync is already installed on your mobile device, your first synchronization process begins automatically when you finish setting up your PC in the ActiveSync wizard and, using the ActiveSync cable, connect your mobile device to the PC. Figure 3-6 Connect ActiveSync Cable to HX3 Cradle Connector Insert the HX3 cable end into the cradle connector on the bottom of the HX3 until a click is heard. Insert the USB-A end in a USB port on the desktop/laptop computer. Note: The ActiveSync cable for the HX3 does not appear to fit tightly with the cradle connector (see Figure). This is normal.

Connect – Initial Install Process Connect the correct cable to the PC (the host) and the HX3 (the client) cradle (HX2A001CBLACTVSYNC). Tap the | Programs | Communication | Connect icon on the HX3. When the desktop/laptop computer and the HX3 in the powered cradle successfully connect, the initial ActiveSync process is complete.

HX3 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX3RG-C Backup HX3 Files Use the following to backup data files from the HX3 to a desktop or laptop PC using the appropriate cables and Microsoft’s ActiveSync. Prerequisites Initial ActiveSync partnership between the HX3 and the target PC has been completed. After the partnership has been established with the mobile device and the host computer, ActiveSync can be performed over USB. Figure 3-7 ActiveSync Connection Settings on a Windows PC HX3 and PC Partnership An ActiveSync partnership between the PC and HX3 has been established. See section Initial Setup. USB Transfer • A PC with an available USB port and an HX3 in a cradle with a USB cable. The desktop or laptop PC must be running Windows 98 SR2, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. • LXE-specific USB cable as listed in the following section Connect. • Allow USB connection with this desktop computer is checked.

67 E-EQ-HX3RG-C HX3 Reference Guide Connect Connect the correct cable to the PC (the host) and the HX3 (the client). Select “Connect” from | Programs | Communications | Connect. Note: ActiveSync over USB will start automatically when the cable is connected. Explore From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, click on the Explore button, which allows you to explore the HX3 from the PC side, with some limitations. You can copy files to or from the HX3 using drag-and-drop. You will not be allowed to delete files or copy files out of the \Windows directory on the HX3. (Technically, the only files you cannot delete or copy are ones marked as system files in the original build of the Windows OS image. This, however, includes most of the files in the \Windows directory). Disconnect USB Connection • Disconnect the cable from the HX3 cradle. • Click the ActiveSync status bar icon in the lower right hand corner of the PC’s status bar. Then click the Disconnect button. IMPORTANT – Do not put the HX3 into Suspend Mode while connected via USB. The HX3 will be unable to connect to the host PC when it resumes operation. If this happens, when the HX3 resumes, disconnect the cables and then reconnect the cables again to initiate USB and/or ActiveSync connection again.

HX3 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX3RG-C ActiveSync Troubleshooting ActiveSync on the host returns to the Get Connected screen without connecting to the cabled device. If the HX3 is connected to a PC by a cable, disconnect the cable from the HX3 and reconnect it again. Check that the correct connection is selected, USB Client. See Also: Cold Boot and Loss of Host Reconnection. ActiveSync indicator on the host remains grey The host doesn’t know you are trying to connect. It may mean a bad cable. Try the connection again with a known-good cable. Cold Boot and Loss of Host Re-connection ActiveSync assigns a partnership between a mobile device and a PC. A partnership is defined by two objects – a unique computer name and a random number generated when the partnership is first created. An ActiveSync partnership for a unique client can be established to two hosts. If the HX3 is cold booted, the random number is deleted – and the partnership with the last one of the two hosts is also deleted. The host retains the random numbers and unique names of all devices having a partnership with it. Two clients cannot have a partnership with the same host if they have the same name. ( | Settings | Control Panel | System | Device Name) If the cold booted HX3 tries to reestablish the partnership with the same host PC, a new random number is generated for the HX3 and ActiveSync will insist the unique name of the HX3 be changed. If the HX3 is associated with a second host, changing the name will destroy that partnership as well. This can cause some confusion when re-establishing partnerships with hosts.

69 E-EQ-HX3RG-C HX3 Reference Guide Windows CE 5.0 For general use instruction, please refer to commercially available Windows CE guides or the Windows CE on-line Help application installed with the HX3 operating system. This chapter’s contents assume the system administrator is familiar with Microsoft Windows options and capabilities loaded on most standard Windows XP (or later) desktop computers. Therefore, the sections that follow describe only those Windows capabilities that are unique to the HX3 and its Windows CE environment. Note: The HX3 reloads the operating system upon every warm boot or cold boot. Anything not saved or preserved to the registry is lost. In warm boot, the OS and the CAB files are reloaded from the internal SD card and the preserved registry is also reloaded. During cold boot, the system behavior is identical to warm boot with the addition that the registry is erased, forcing the HX3 to reboot with factory defaults. The registry is recreated when 20 minutes of uptime elapses or upon the first save or suspend function. It is also recreated every 10 registry changes and at every warm boot.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Installed Software Note: Some standard Windows options require an external modem connection. Modems are not available from LXE nor supported by LXE. When you order an HX3 you receive the software files required by the separate programs needed for operation and wireless communication. The files are loaded by LXE and stored in folders in the HX3. This section lists the contents of the folders and the general function of the files. Files installed in each HX3 are specific to the intended function of the HX3. Software Load The software supported by the HX3 is summarized below. Operating System Windows CE 5.0 OS, hardware-specific OEM Adaptation Layer, device drivers, Internet Explorer for Windows CE browser and utilities. Wireless Client Drivers The 2.4GHz Summit wireless client driver is pre-loaded by LXE. Bluetooth Client Driver Optional. Wavelink Avalanche The Avalanche Enabler is installed by LXE, but is not active by default. LXE API Routines See Accessories for the LXE SDK Kit part number. The HX3 uses the same SDK as LXE’s HX2. Note: Please contact your LXE representative to get access to CAB files as they are released by LXE. Software Applications The following applications are included: • Scanner Wedge (LXE developed) • ActiveSync

Software Backup Application programs and data that are normally RAM resident are backed up via ActiveSync, as well as being stored on the internal SD card. The operating system is on internal SD card and does not need backup. Registry configuration is backed up to internal SD card automatically using the hive registry setup from CE 5.0. Registry backup occurs on every Suspend, WARMBOOT.EXE, every 20 minutes and every 10 registry changes. Note: Placing the HX3 in suspend or performing a warmboot terminates the ActiveSync connection, if one is established. The ActiveSync connection must be re-established after the HX3 reboots or exits suspend. Version Control Version numbers are applied to the boot loader and the OS image independently. The version information stored consists of the LXE build number, plus the date and time of compile (in lieu of a build number). These version numbers are stored in non-volatile storage, where the user cannot inadvertently modify them. A control panel and API is provided so the user can reference the version numbers for support purposes. The HX3 has a unique 128-bit ID code as required by the CE 5.0 specification. This ID number is generated by the boot loader. This ID code is available in the control panel, and via a Win32 standard API. In addition, an API is provided to return a standard LXE copyright string, so that applications may reference this to be sure they are running on an LXE mobile device for licensing purposes. See Accessories for the LXE HX3 SDK Kit part number. The HX3 uses the same SDK as LXE’s HX2. Boot Loader The HX3 supports a proprietary boot loader. It is the responsibility of the boot loader to: • Initialize all system hardware • Load code into internal FPGA device(s) • Load the OS image from SD card to DRAM • Initiate OS startup • Handle wakeup from system suspend, loading saved state • Handle copying a new boot loader from SD card to internal flash The HX3 reloads the OS every time during warm boot or cold boot. In Warm Boot (i.e., the user executes a Warm Boot) the OS and the CAB files are reloaded from the internal SD card and the preserved registry is also reloaded. Anything else (user data), which was not preserved in the registry, is lost. During Cold Boot (i.e., user executes a Cold Boot utility) the system behavior is identical to Warm Boot with the addition that the registry is reloaded with factory defaults. The SD card holds user applications and CAB files. The SD card is mapped to the System folder in the Windows CE file system.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Folders Copied at Startup The following folders are copied on startup: System\Desktop copied to Windows\Desktop System\Fonts copied to Windows\Fonts System\Help copied to Windows\Help System\Programs copied to Windows\Programs Copying these folders at startup saves any changes made by the user. For example, saving user- installed fonts and help files and tailoring the desktop and programs menus to meet the user’s needs. This function copies only the directory contents, no sub-folders. Files in the Startup folder are executed, but only from System\Startup. Windows\Startup is parsed too early in the boot process so it has no effect. Executables in System\Startup must be the actual executable, not a shortcut, because shortcuts are not parsed by the launch process.

Wavelink Avalanche Enabler The following features are supported by the Wavelink Avalanche Enabler when used in conjunction with the Avalanche Management Console. After configuration, Enabler files are installed upon initial bootup and after a hard reset. Network parameter configuration is supported for: • IP address: DHCP or static IP • RF network SSID • DNS hosts (primary, secondary, tertiary) • Subnet mask • Enabler update Related Manual: “Using Wavelink Avalanche on LXE Windows Computers”. The HX3 has the Avalanche Enabler installation files loaded, but not installed, on the mobile device when it is shipped from LXE. The installation files are located in the System folder on CE devices. The installation application must be run manually the first time Avalanche is used. After the installation application is manually run, a reboot is necessary for the Enabler to begin normal performance. Following this reboot, the Enabler will by default be an auto-launch application. This behavior can be modified by accessing the Avalanche Update Settings panel through the Enabler Interface. The designation of the mobile device to the Avalanche CE Manager is LXE_HX3. See Wavelink Avalanche Enabler Configuration at the end of this chapter for instruction. If the user is NOT using Wavelink Avalanche to manage their mobile device, the Enabler should not be installed on the mobile device(s). Terminology may appear different, based on your installed version: • Avalanche Manager may be shown as the Avalanche Mobility Center console • Avalanche Agent may be shown as the Avalanche Mobile Device Server • Avalanche Management Console may be shown as the Avalanche Mobility Center or the Avalanche Mobility Center Console Note that actual operation of the Enabler on the mobile device does not change.

E-EQ-HX3RG-C Desktop For general use instruction, please refer to commercially available CE user’s guides or the CE on-line Help application installed in the HX3. Note: Whenever possible, dock the HX3 in a powered cradle to conserve the main battery and to ensure the backup battery is charged. The HX3 Desktop appearance is similar to that of a desktop PC running Windows XP. At a minimum, it has named icons that can be clicked to access My Computer, Internet Explorer, and the Recycle Bin. At the bottom of the screen is the Start button. Tapping the Start Button causes the Start Menu to pop up. It contains the standard Windows menu options: Programs, Favorites, Documents, Settings, Help, and Run. The Start Menu Shutdown option found on most desktop PC’s has been replaced with a single command: Suspend because the HX3 is always powered On (when a fully charged tethered battery and backup battery are present). Tap the Suspend button, or tap the red Power button, to turn the screen off and place the HX3 into Suspend mode. Note: Placing the HX3 in suspend terminates the ActiveSync connection, if one is established. The ActiveSync connection must be re-established after the HX3 exits suspend. Tap the Power button to Resume all paused functions and wake the unit up. Note: There may be more or fewer icons on your desktop than those listed below in the LXE default Desktop table. Desktop Icon Function My Device Access files and programs. Recycle Bin Storage for files that are to be deleted. Summit Client Used for configuring Summit client for network security settings. Start Access programs, select from the Favorites listing, documents last worked on, change/view settings for the control panel or taskbar, on-line help, run programs or place the unit into Suspend mode.
