VX7 Reference Guide E-EQ-VX7RG-D
Quick Start
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. antenna, external keyboard and/or barcode scanner)
and a power source.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket on vehicle and secure VX7 in Mounting Bracket
Assembly (see “VX7 User’s Guide”).
2. Connect power cable to the VX7. The power cable can also be connected to a UPS
battery pack, which is then connected to the VX7 (see “VX7 User’s Guide”).
3. Connect accessories to VX7, e.g. scanner, antenna, etc. (see “VX7 User’s Guide).
4. Secure all cables to the VX7 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps.
5. Turn the VX7 on.
6. When instructed, calibrate the touchscreen (see Chapter 4, “System Configuration”).
7. The screen may appear white while applications and drivers are loading. When
complete, set Date and Time (see Chapter 4, “System Configuration”).
8. Configure radio (see Chapter 5, “Wireless Network Configuration”).
9. Warmboot to ensure all registry settings are saved.
10. Device is ready for use.
The VX7 and its keyboard should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
• Does not obstruct the vehicle driver’s vision or safe vehicle operation.
• Can be easily accessed by anyone seated in the driver’s seat.
