Page 9: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction The MX3Plus is a rugged, portable, hand-held computer with a Microsoft® Windows® CE 5 operating system. There are two optional cradles available for the MX3Plus: desktop cradle that secures the MX3Plus, recharges batteries and enables communications between the MX3Plus and another device. -
Page 11: Chapter 2: Desktop Cradle
MX3Plus Main Battery. The MX3Plus can be either on or off while in the cradle. Cables are available from Honeywell for connecting the cradle to a printer, a personal computer or a bar code printer. Tethered scanners (for RS232 serial port connection) are also available from Honeywell. -
Page 12: Preparing The Cradle For Use
The MX3Plus must have a main battery installed when it is docked in a cradle. The main battery in the MX3Plus is recharged when the MX3Plus is docked in a powered desktop cradle and when it is docked in a powered vehicle cradle. -
Page 13: Desk Top Cradle Footprint
Table Mounting The cradle can be mounted to a flat, stable surface using the two holes in the desktop cradle bracket (mounting hardware is not supplied by Honeywell). Periodically check the cradle connection and table connection for stability. Re-tighten as necessary. -
Page 14: Attach Desktop Bracket
Note: This cradle cannot secure the VX3X or VX3Plus mobile devices. You will need a torque wrench capable of torquing at 6±1 IN/LB when assembling the cradle bracket. Honeywell does not supply the tools (torque wrench, screwdrivers) required for assembly. -
Page 15: Assemble/Attach The Ac Power Adapter
The Power connector is located on the back of the cradle. When powered, the cradle transfers power to the internal charging circuitry of the MX3Plus allowing it to recharge the Main Battery. A powered cradle supports RS232 and IR communications. -
Page 16: Connect Cables
When the MX3Plus is properly docked, the bi-directional half-duplex transceivers in the mobile device and cradle are aligned through their IR windows. The half-duplex IR signals from the MX3Plus are converted to RS232 signals in the cradle and available at this connector. The cradle supports only the Transmit, Receive and Ground signals on this port. -
Page 17: Status Led
Status LED An indicator on the cradle shows the status of the docked MX3Plus. When the indicator is not illuminated, there is no external power source connected to the cradle. Cradle Power Orange Power applied to the cradle. -
Page 18: Docking And Undocking The Mx3Plus
Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they may result in damage to the surfaces and/or battery charging terminals (pins). Use a clean soft cloth to wipe any dirt, moisture or grease from the MX3Plus, spare battery packs, charging contacts (pins) or the cradle. -

There must be at least 2” clearance at the back of the bracket for the cables. Position the bracket to allow access to the ports on the back of the Vehicle Mount Cradle. Using the mounting dimensions on the following diagram, mount the bottom mounting bracket to the vehicle, using ¼” bolts (not supplied by Honeywell). Note: Mount to the most rigid surface available. - Page 26 Care must be taken to avoid bending or warping the bottom “U” shaped bracket when attaching the cradle to a lift truck or other vehicle. A bent “U” bracket can over-compress or over-extend the rubber iso- lators leading to failure of the isolators.
