Chapter 6 “AppLock”. Hotkey (Activation hotkey) If the mobile device uses LXE’s Multi AppLock to allow the user to switch between applications, the default Activation key is Ctrl+Spc. The key sequence switches the focus between one application and another. Data entry affects the application running in the foreground only. Note that the system administrator may have assigned a different key sequence to use when switching applications.
Page 30: Hardware Setup
The MX7 can be purchased with a customer-installable trigger handle. The handle is shipped with a wrist strap. The handle enables the user of the MX7 to hold the mobile device comfortably while pointing and activating the scanner / imager with one hand. With the handle installed, the MX7 can balance on a tabletop supported by the nose of the mobile device and the bottom of the handle.
Page 31: Inserting The Main Battery
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 MX7 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 32: Installing The Handstrap
An elastic hand strap is available for the MX7. 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 battery pack.

The System LED above the Scan key illuminates when the MX7 is charging the main battery pack using external power through the power cable. The backup battery is always being trickle charged by the main battery pack..
Page 34: Connecting The Multipurpose Usb / Power Cable
Align the RS-232 serial cable end carefully to an appropriate serial port on a desktop/laptop computer for ActiveSync communication. Press the ends together and hand tighten the screws on either side of the serial cable until the MX7 is securely connected to the serial device.
Page 35: Connecting To A Printer Interface Cable
The headset consists of an earpiece, a microphone and an attached cable. The headset attaches to the audio cable which attaches to the MX7. Use the control panel option “Mixer” to set up mono or stereo headphones. The Summit Client supports mono only.
Page 36: Adjust Microphone And Secure The Cable
Do not wear the cable on the front of your body. It may get in your way or get caught on protruding objects. Entering Data Data is entered into the MX7 by speaking into the headset’s microphone when prompted. Please contact your System Administrator if assistance is needed with the voice software installed on your MX7.

Tap the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar to open the Bluetooth LXEZ Pairings application. The MX7 default Bluetooth hardware setting is Enabled. Bluetooth is an option and may not be available on all devices. The MX7 does not have a Bluetooth managed LED.
Page 47: Settings Tab | Bluetooth Options
These options can still be checked or unchecked whether Bluetooth connection is enabled or disabled. As Bluetooth devices pair with the MX7, the name of the device and an icon representing the type of device is displayed in the Devices window. The icon state changes as the paired Bluetooth devices connect and disconnect from the MX7.
Page 48: Subsequent Use
9. Whenever the MX7 returns from Suspend Mode, all previously paired, live, Bluetooth devices in the vicinity are paired, one at a time, with the MX7. If the devices cannot connect to the MX7 before the re-connect timeout time period expires (default is approximately 20 seconds for each paired device) there is no indication of the continuing disconnect state if Report Failure to Reconnect is disabled.
Page 49: Bluetooth Devices
Note: When an active paired device, not the MX7, enters Suspend Mode, is turned Off or leaves the MX7 Bluetooth scan range, the Bluetooth connection between the paired device and the MX7 is lost. There may be audible or visual signals as paired devices disconnect from the MX7.
Page 50: Bluetooth Barcode Reader Setup
1. Scan the Bluetooth address barcode label, attached to the MX7, with the LXE Bluetooth mobile scanner. 2. If this is the first time the Bluetooth scanner has scanned the MX7 Bluetooth label, the devices are paired. See section titled “Bluetooth Beep and LED Indications”. If the devices do not pair successfully, go to the next step.

Move the MX7 towards or away from the barcode until a response is received by the MX7 (beep, tactile response, etc) or the bracketed crosshair times out and disappears.
Page 56: Scan Status Led
The Scan Status LED (oval shaped LED below keypad) 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 MX7 beeps or vibrates, indicating a successful scan. If the scan was unsuccessful, the Scan Status LED turns off and a different beep sequence is heard.

Both client software utilities support WEP encryption, WPA security, no authentication and all authentications listed below.

Summit Client Configuration Summit Client Configuration It may be necessary to upgrade client drivers in order to use certain Summit Client Utility (SCU) features and/or security options described in this chapter. Please contact your LXE representative for Summit driver update availability. Note: Terminology used on your screen displays may be different than those shown in the figures in this chapter.
