The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material that can easily be seen in dimly lighted areas. The MX3-CE is a Windows CE compatible computer that can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an integrated RF scanning computer. A stylus is enclosed with the MX3-CE to assist in entering data and configuring the unit.

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 MX3-CE is always 'on' even when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at all times. Use the Start | Settings | Control Panel | Power Properties | Charge tab to check the battery status and power reading.
Press the Power button after the battery is inserted into the MX3-CE. Note: New batteries must be charged prior to first use. This process takes up to four hours in an LXE Multi-Charger and eight hours with an external power source attached to the MX3-CE. Figure 1-5 Main Battery...
Getting Started Figure 1-6 Battery Compartment The MX3-CE Battery Compartment is located at the bottom of the back of the computer. The arrows in the figure above point to the battery contacts in the computer. Figure 1-7 Main Battery Place the battery in the compartment, making sure the side of the battery with six contacts matches up with the battery contacts in the computer battery compartment.
2. Place the MX3-CE, with the screen facing down, on a flat stable surface. 3. Attach the handstrap to the MX3-CE with the screws and washers provided. 4. Test the strap's connection making sure the MX3-CE is securely connected to each end of the strap connectors.
#1 flat head screwdriver are not supplied by LXE. A waist belt can be ordered from LXE. Once the MX3-CE is attached to the hip-flip and the hip-flip securely fastened to the user by a belt around their waist, the MX3-CE can be operated at a convenient height, leaving the user's hands free.

The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the MX3-CE keypad but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task.
Scan button. A red laser beam strikes the barcode. Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the MX3-CE towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam. Following a barcode scan and read the SCNR LED turns green and the MX3-CE beeps, indicating a successful scan.

There are two buttons, one on each side of the display. The buttons are programmable and function as an integrated barcode scanner key or a numeric keypad Enter key. The Scan keys have no effect on scanners tethered to the MX3-CE. When there is no integrated scanner installed, both buttons default to Enter buttons.
The default setting for the right button is Enter. The default setting for the left button is Scan. When the MX3-CE does not have an integrated scanner, both buttons default to Enter keys and the Scan selection is greyed out.

Display Figure 2-11 MX3-CE Display The MX3-CE Touch Screen Display is an LCD unit capable of supporting VGA graphics modes. Display size is 640 x 240 pixels. The display covering is designed to resist stains. The touch screen allows signature capture and touch input. A pen stylus is included. The touch screen responds to an actuation force (touch) of 4 oz.
Display Touchscreen The touchscreen provides a means of inputting information into the MX3-CE by touching the screen using the LXE approved stylus (the Passive Pen – see Chapter 1 section titled “Accessories.”) Touchscreen operation is not affected by Display Backlighting.
Figure 2-12 Speaker Location The MX3-CE Speaker has a loudness of at least 90 dB (2700 Hz) at 10 cm measured from the front of the unit. The Speaker volume is adjustable via the keypad or the Control Panel or by an application through the use of an API call.
The MX3-CE uses IrDA protocol to send data in both directions, but not simultaneously. When sending data through the IR port, make sure the IR port on the first MX3-CE and the IR port on the second MX3-CE are in close proximity to each other. IrDA is not required and not used by terminal emulation programs.

Backup Battery inside the MX3-CE that is recharged only by the Main Battery Pack. The MX3-CE maintains the date and time for a minimum of four days using a Main Battery that has reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged Backup Battery. The MX3-CE retains data, during a Main Battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.
Battery Hot-Swapping When the main battery power level is low, the MX3-CE will signal the user with a warning dialog box on the display and the BATT M LED illuminates red. The Batt-M LED is illuminated until the main battery is replaced, the battery completely depletes, external power is applied to the MX3-CE using the power jack, or the MX3-CE is placed in a powered cradle.
Suspend state. To resume operation tap the Power key. If the Off Timer expires the MX3-CE will turn itself off and all unsaved information is lost. Insert a fully charged main battery and press the Power button to turn the MX3-CE back on.
Maintenance Note: Make sure there is a fully charged main battery in the MX3-CE before running the Backup Battery Discharge Utility. The backup battery can be discharged and charged while the MX3-CE is receiving external power through the Power Jack or from a powered cradle.

Chapter 4 System Configuration Introduction There are several different aspects to the setup and configuration of the MX3-CE. Many of the setup and configuration settings are dependent upon the optional features such as hardware and software installed on the unit. The examples found in this chapter are to be used as examples only, the configuration of your specific MX3-CE computer may vary.
Microsoft CE, which is Windows CE 3.0 with MFC support. Radio Drivers • Only one radio is installed in the MX3-CE at any one time. The 2.4GHz type of PC radio card resident on the MX3-CE determines the type of radio driver running on the MX3-CE.
LAUNCH.EXE, REGCLEAR.EXE and REGSAVE.EXE Java Virtual Machine (Optional) The MX3-CE optionally includes the Insignia Jeode Java virtual machine. This VM supports Sun Personal Java specification 1.2, with enhancements unique to the Windows CE environment. The VM is fully integrated with the Pocket Internet Explorer browser, and can also run Java applications from the Windows CE desktop.
For general use instruction, please refer to commercially available WinCE user's guides or the WinCE on-line Help application installed with the MX3-CE. The MX3-CE Desktop appearance is similar to that of a desktop PC running Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000.
This program is similar to the Microsoft Windows program REGEDIT. LXE cautions the user to edit parameters in the Registry with care, making sure a backup copy is first saved before any changes are made. Contact LXE Customer Support before making changes to the Pocket Registry parameters.

This guide contains all the scanner programming barcodes supported by LXE for the MX3-CE mobile device with an SE923 scanner engine. The SE923 was replaced by the SE955 in July 2006. The SE923 scanner engine is obsolete. The MX3-CE mobile device is obsolete as of June 2005.
Code 39. The use of Code 128 or other more complex symbologies will almost always result in a reduction in maximum read distance. LXE will not support scanner maximum distances when symbologies other than Code 39 are used.
