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.
Page 18: When To Use This Guide
Use this reference guide as you would any other source book – reading portions to learn about the HX3, and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide takes you through all aspects of installation and configuration for the LXE HX3.
Page 19: Important Battery Information
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.

Page 30: Li-Ion Battery
Li-Ion Battery Note: The HX3 uses the same batteries, charger and cradle as the LXE HX2. Main battery charging is handled exclusively by the HX2 Multi-Charger/analyzer and the battery charger integrated into a powered cradle. The Standard battery is much thinner than the Extended battery.
Page 31: Mounting Bracket Clips
Remove the HX3 from the mount assembly by pushing down on either mounting clip, or both, until the HX3 mounting bracket disconnects. Or you can disconnect from one clip, then lift the HX3 up at a 45 degree angle until the other side disconnects. Lift the HX3 up and away from the mount assembly.
Page 32: Mounting Devices
Mounting Devices HX3 Voice Case Assembly There are two optional voice cases for the HX3. One design has a partially open front, allowing easy access to the HX3 keypad. The second case design has a clear window covering the keypad.

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. Re-connect cables and reassemble the HX3 body-worn components.
Page 35: Slipping The Hx3 Into The Voice Case
2. Attach the battery cable, ring scanner and audio device to the HX3. 3. Slip the HX3 into the voice case. Be sure the screen and keypad are visible through either the opening (voice case without clear window) or through the clear window (voice case with window).
Page 36: Connecting The Audio Cable And A Headset
If the voice case is damaged, it should be removed from service. Note: The HX3 with a voice case does not fit in the cradle. Remove the voice case before placing the HX3 in a charged cradle. Connecting the Audio Cable and a Headset See section titled Set the Audio Speaker Volume.
Page 37: Adjust Microphone And Secure The Cable
The Power key is an oval button located below the LEDs. When a battery is connected to the HX3 for the first time press the Power key. The mobile device begins the startup process. And the Status LED is solid green. Wait until the LED begins blinking green to indicate the HX3 has successfully booted into the OS.
Page 38: Power Key Functions
Press and hold the Power key for approximately 15 seconds then release the key. After releasing the Power key, the Status LED lights solid green to indicate the HX3 is rebooting. If user data was not saved before the Hardware Reset function started, data loss occurs and unsaved registry settings are lost.
Page 39: Cold Boot
HX3. 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.
Page 40: Checking Battery Status
Steady: The HX3 is booting. Green Blinking: Battery power is good (or the HX3 is attached to an AC power source). Steady: Main battery power is low. Battery should be replaced as soon as possible. Blinking: Main battery power failure.

Page 45: Subsequent Use
10. Whenever the HX3 returns from Suspend Mode, all previously paired, live, Bluetooth devices in the vicinity are paired, one at a time, with the HX3. If the devices cannot connect to the HX3 before the re-connect timeout time period expires there is no indication of the continuing disconnect state.
Page 46: Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth LED is located above the Power key on the front of the HX3. The Bluetooth LED blinks slowly when it is idle. Blinks quickly when the HX3 is discovering other Bluetooth devices. And blinks normally when it is connected. There may be audible or visual signals from paired devices as they re-connect with the HX3.
Page 47: Bluetooth Mobile Barcode Reader Setup
Introduction LXE supports several different types of barcode readers. This section describes the interaction and setup for a mobile Bluetooth laser scanner or laser imager connected to the HX3 using Bluetooth functions. • The HX3 must have the Bluetooth hardware and software installed. Contact your LXE representative for details.
Page 48: Hx3 With Label
1. Scan the Bluetooth address barcode label, attached to the HX3, with the LXE Bluetooth mobile scanner. 2. If this is the first time the Bluetooth scanner has scanned the HX3 Bluetooth label, the devices are paired. If not, go to the next step.
Page 49: Hx3 Without Label
Bluetooth HX3 without Label If the HX3 Bluetooth address barcode label does not exist, follow these steps to create a unique Bluetooth address barcode for the HX3: First, locate the HX3 Bluetooth address by tapping Start | Settings | Control Panel | Bluetooth | About tab.
Page 50: Bluetooth Beep And Led Indications
Contact LXE Support for assistance. Bluetooth Printer Setup The Bluetooth managed device should be as close as possible, in direct line of sight, with the HX3 during the pairing process. 1. Open the LXEZ Pairing panel [Start | Settings | Control Panel | Bluetooth].
Page 51: Data Entry
Data Entry 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.
Page 52: 2D Imager
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.
Page 53: Cleaning The Ring Scanner Aperture
Strap Assemblies Caution: Do not perform the following procedures if the ring barcode reader is tethered to the HX3. There is a possibility the Scan button may be pressed inadvertently and the laser beam emitted. LXE recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
