Desktop
For general use instruction, please refer to commercially available Windows CE .NET 4.2 or
Windows CE 5.0 user’s guides or the Windows on-line Help application installed in the
mobile device.
Note: Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the MX5X to conserve the main
battery and to ensure the backup battery is charged.
The Desktop appearance is similar to that of a desktop PC running Windows 2000 or XP. At a
minimum, it has desktop icons that can be tapped with the stylus to access My Computer, Internet
Explorer, and the Recycle Bin.
At the bottom of the screen is the Start button. Tapping the Start Button causes the Start Menu to
open. It contains the standard Windows menu options: Programs, Favorites, Documents, Settings,
Help, and Run.
The Start Menu Shutdown option found on most desktop PC’s has been replaced with a single
command: Suspend, because the mobile device is always powered On (when a fully charged main
battery and backup battery are present).
Tap the Suspend button to turn the screen off or tap the red Power button to turn the screen off and
place the device into Suspend mode.
Tap the screen once more or tap the Power button to ‘wake’ the unit up.
