E-EQ-HX2RG-B HX2 Reference Guide
Getting Started
Note: The sequence of steps in Getting Started must also be completed when the HX2 returns
from a Cold Boot and when a new OS version is loaded. The wireless client, flash card,
virtual keyboard and scanner parameters may also need to be reset after a cold reset.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new device is pre-configured and
requires only accessory installation (e.g. stylus, headset, ring scanner, etc.) and a battery. LXE
recommends that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
When necessary, protect the work surface, the mobile device, and components from electrostatic
discharge.
Prerequisites
• A fully charged battery is available.
• Optional add-on devices are available (e.g. stylus, headset, ring scanner, hip flip,
armband).
• Wireless Client configuration has been completed by the System Administrator.
• Required configured (mappable) keys have been assigned by the System Administrator.
For example, the Alpha Mode 3 Tap keypad (the original keypad) does not have a
button, Control, Shift, Alt or Del key (or the equivalent). Key mapping can be changed to
map those specific keys if needed. Refer to Components – Front.
• Optional software and LXE applications have been installed and setup by the System
Administrator. If AppLock is installed, and the Dual Alpha or Triple Tap keypad are in
use, the AppLock default Administrator Hotkey has been modified.
HX2 Quick Start
1. Mount the armband or the hip flip first (see Wearable Device Assembly).
2. Insert the battery in the armband or hip flip battery sleeve.
3. Attach the ring scanner to the HX2.
4. Connect the fully charged battery. (Always connect a fully charged battery to the mobile
device at the beginning of the shift or workday.)
5. If the screen does not automatically display, tap the Power key. See Tapping the Power Key.
6. Locate the stylus. Calibrate the touchscreen, if necessary. See Tapping the Touchscreen with
a Stylus and Calibrating the Touchscreen.
7. A white screen will appear during the bootup process until all drivers and applications are
loaded and installed. Setup screens may appear and disappear while files are loading. After all
files are loaded and the Desktop is displayed, adjust audio volume and other parameters if
desired.
8. Set up the wireless client and network management programs. Refer to Chapter 5 – Wireless
Network Configuration.
9. Set up Terminal Emulation parameters. Refer to the RFTerm Reference Guide on the LXE
Manuals CD.
10. Set up mappable keys. Refer to Chapter 3 – System Configuration.
11. Pair Bluetooth devices. Refer to Bluetooth later in this chapter.
12. Set the AppLock Administrator hotkey sequence and the User task switching hotkey
sequence. Refer to Chapter 6 – AppLock.
13. Save your settings to the Registry. Refer to Saving Settings to the Registry later in this
chapter.
