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. The MX5X can transmit
information using a 2.4 GHz wireless client (with dual internal antennas) and it can store
information for later transmission using an RS-232 serial port, Ethernet, RF, IRDA or a USB port.
The MX5X is vertically oriented and features backlighting for the display and the keypad. The
touch-screen display supports graphic features and icons that the Windows operating system
supports. A stylus is attached to the MX5X to assist in entering data and configuring the unit.
The MX5X is powered by a 2800 mAh Lithium-Ion main battery pack and an internal backup
battery.
MX5X Hazardous Location unit can be distinguished from the standard MX5X by the blue
keypad overlay and the safety approval labeling on the back of the unit. The MX5X that is
approved for use in Hazardous Locations does not accept tethered scanner or external power
connection. See section titled
Identify Your Device .
Warning: Standard MX5X units are not approved for Hazardous Location use.
Note: Until the main battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the MX5X is always
drawing power from the batteries (On). This unit is to be used with a power supply (LXE
P/N MX5A305PSACUS / MX5A305PSACWW).
Note: If the mobile device has AppLock installed, please refer to Chapter 6 – AppLock for
