E-EQ-MX5PCRG-C MX5 Reference Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The MX5 is a rugged, portable, hand-held computer that uses Microsoft® Windows® for Pocket

PC 2000 or Pocket PC 2002 software. The MX5 can transmit information using a 2.4 GHz radio

(with an internally mounted antenna) and it can store information for later transmission through an

RS-232, InfraRed or communication port.

The MX5 is vertically oriented and features backlighting for the display and the keypad. The

touch-screen display supports graphic features and icons that the Pocket PC operating system

supports.

The MX5 can be scaled from a limited function batch computer to an integrated RF scanning

computer. The MX5 is powered by a 2800 mAh Lithium-Ion main battery pack and an internal

backup battery.

A stylus is attached to the MX5 to assist in entering data and configuring the unit.

Radio Compatibility

An MX5 with … Is compatible with ….

Lucent 2.4GHz radio and drivers 6500 System APs with 2.4GHz Lucent radios

Cisco 2.4GHz radio and drivers 6700 System APs with 2.4GHz Cisco 350 radios

Related Manuals

The “MX5 User’s Guide” contains MX5 user instructions. Refer to the "MX5 Cradle Reference

Guide" for technical information relating to the MX5 Vehicle Mount cradle. Refer to the "MX5

Multi-charger Operator’s Guide" for technical information relating to the MX5 battery charger.

Pocket PC Versions

Access: the Windows icon | Settings | System tab | Handheld | Versions tab

Your MX5 may be running either Pocket PC 2000 or Pocket PC 2002. This manual highlights the

differences in this way:

Pocket PC 2000 The menu path or command syntax for Pocket PC 2000 units only.

Pocket PC 2002 The menu path or command syntax for Pocket PC 2002 units only.

If there is no distinction between Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002, the instruction or

information is the same for both versions.

Important Battery Information

• Until the Main Battery and Backup Battery are completely depleted, the MX5 is always

drawing power from the batteries (On).

• New batteries must be fully charged prior to use.

• When a new battery is installed in the MX5 for the first time (or when the Backup battery

is completely depleted), the Time and Date must be re-set.

Li-Ion Battery

When disposing of the MX5 Main Battery, the following precautions should be observed:

The battery should be disposed of properly. The battery should not be disassembled or crushed.

The battery should not be heated above 212°F (100°C) or incinerated.
