The headset consists of an earpiece, a microphone, a clothing clip and a cable. The headset attaches to the audio cable end of the voice cable which attaches to the HX3. Do not twist the microphone boom when adjusting the microphone. The microphone should be adjusted to be about two finger widths from your mouth.
Page 26: Connecting The Battery Cable To The Hx3
When you want to switch connectors from left to right, or vice versa, first gently press downward on the Retaining Clip, then pinch and pull the cable connector (not the cable!) straight up and away from the HX3. Do not use a metal object, or extreme force, to remove the cable connector from the HX3.

You can also select / deselect sounds for key clicks and screen taps and whether each is loud or soft. As the volume scrollbar is moved between Loud and Soft, the HX3 emits a tone each time the volume increases or decreases.
Page 31: Connecting Bluetooth Devices
• The system administrator has also assigned a Computer Friendly Name using LXEZ Pairing Control Panel for the HX3. To connect Bluetooth devices, the HX3 should be as close as possible and in direct line of sight (distances up to 32.8 feet or 10 meters) with the targeted Bluetooth device during the discovery and pairing process.
Page 32: Reboot
New batteries must be fully charged prior to first use. 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 HX3 is always ‘on’ even when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times.
Page 33: Chapter 3 - Hardware Configuration
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.
Page 34: Bluetooth
Docked HX3 -- An uninterrupted external power source (wall AC/DC adapter connected to the HX2 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.
Page 35: Audio Support
The internal speaker supplies audible verification signals normally used by the Windows CE operating system. The speaker is located on the front of the HX3, above the [ 2 ] 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.

HX3 in a powered docking cradle before replacing the battery pack. 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.
Page 39: Backup Battery
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.

Page 43: Connect
Solution: One or more control lines are not connected. This is usually a cable problem. If the HX3 is connected to a host computer by a cable, disconnect the cable from the HX3 and reconnect it again. Issue: ActiveSync indicator on the host (disc in the toolbar tray) turns green and spins as soon as you connect the cable, before tapping the Connect icon (or REPLLOG.EXE in the Windows directory).

Bar Code - Ctrl Char Mapping The Ctrl Char Mapping button (Control Character Mapping) activates a dialog to define the operations the Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20) embedded in bar codes. Control characters can be replaced with user- defined text which can include hat encoded or hex encoded values.

(based on configurable Barcode Data) add a prefix or suffix to a bar code. The Symbology drop-down box contains all symbologies supported on the HX3. An asterisk appears in front of symbolo- gies that have already been configured or have been modified from the default value.
Page 121: Enable
Note: When All is selected in the Symbology field and the settings are changed, the settings in this dialog become the defaults, used unless overwritten by the settings for individual symbologies. This is also true for Custom IDs, where the code IDs to be stripped are specified by the user. Note: In Custom mode on the Barcode tab, any Code IDs not specified by the user will not be stripped, because they will not be recognized as Code IDs.
Page 122: Leading
If the total number of characters being stripped is greater than the number of characters in the bar code data, it becomes a zero byte data string. If, in addition, Strip Code ID is enabled, and no prefix or suffix is configured, the pro- cessing will return a zero-byte data packet, which will be rejected.
