Overview Note: At the bottom of the MX5X is a label that indicates the operating system resident on the mobile device. This guide is directed toward an MX5X with Windows CE on the label. The LXE® MX5X is a rugged, portable, hand-held Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET 4.2 or CE 5.0 equipped mobile computer capable of wireless data communications.
Page 20: Important Battery Information
• Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX5X to conserve the main battery and charge the backup battery. • When a new battery is installed in the MX5X for the first time (or when the backup battery is completely depleted), the Time and Date reverts to it’s default values.

Page 32: Power Key
The Power key is located next to the < Z > key on the keypad. When a battery is inserted in the MX5X for the first time press the Power key. Tapping the Power key places the MX5X immediately in Suspend mode. Tapping the Power key again, or connecting to AC power, immediately releases the MX5X from Suspend Mode.
Page 33: Assembly
Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a linear fashion) and never just stop working. This is important to remember – the MX5X is always ‘on’ even when in the Suspend state and draws power from the batteries at all times. Tap the | Settings | Control Panel | Power tab to check the battery status and power reading.
Page 34: Connect External Power Supply (Optional)
The MX5X receives AC/DC power from the AC/DC 12V Power Supply or a powered MX5 Cradle. The MX5X DC power connection is located at the base of the MX5X. The cradle power jack is located on the back of the cradle.
Page 35: Install Pistol Grip Handle (Optional)
With the handle installed the Scan key on the keypad remains active. The trigger duplicates the operation. The handle is built of a durable and flexible plastic that will not detach from the MX5X 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.
Page 36: Install Handstrap
An elastic hand strap is available for the MX5X. Once installed, the hand strap provides a means for the user to secure the computer to their hand. It is adjustable to fit practically any size hand and is easily moved to allow installation or removal of the MX5X battery pack.
