E-EQ-MX3RG-J-ARC MX3 Reference Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The MX3 is a rugged, portable, mobile PC-compatible computer capable of wireless data
communications. The MX3 can transmit information using either a 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz radio
(with an internally mounted antenna). It can store information for later transmission through an
RS-232 or InfraRed port. The MX3 is horizontally oriented and features electroluminescent
backlighting for the display. The keys on the keypad are constructed of a phosphorescent material
that can easily be seen in dimly lighted areas.
The MX3 is a DOS compatible computer designed to run as a batch unit or run software
applications such as LXE’s Terminal Emulator applications (ANSI Plus, LDS Plus, DOS 5250,
DOS 3270, TN3270 and TN5250).
Please refer to the “MX3 User’s Guide” for MX3 installation and user instruction.
Please refer to the “MX3 Cradle Reference Guide” for technical information
relating to the Desk Top and Vehicle Mount cradles.
Note: The 900MHz radio is obsolete.
