E-EQ-MX5PCRG-F-ARC MX5 Reference Guide
Getting Started
Note: When your MX5 is pre-configured, the radio, flash card and scanner are programmed by
LXE to your specifications.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. handstrap) and a power source. LXE recommends
that installation or removal of accessories be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When
necessary, protect the work surface, MX5, and components from electrostatic discharge.
Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the MX5,
and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide
takes you through an introduction to and operation of the LXE MX5.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Insert a fully charged battery and press the Power key.

2. Connect an external power source to the unit (if required).
3. Calibrate the touch screen.
4. Set the geographical Location. Set the date and time.
5. After all files are loaded and the Desktop is displayed, adjust audio volume and other
parameters if desired.
6. Set up radio and network data, if necessary. See Chapter 3 “System Configuration.”
7. Tap the Windows icon | Programs | File Explorer | My Documents | My Device |
Compact Flash then tap the RegSave file.
If you need to set up the integrated scanner barcode reading parameters, please refer to the
“Integrated Scanner Programming Guide” on the LXE Manuals CD or the LXE website
www.lxe.com.
Note: The sequence of steps in “Getting Started” must be also be completed when the MX5
returns from a Cold Boot and when a new OS version is loaded. The radio, flash card,
virtual keyboard and scanner parameters may also need to be reset after a cold boot.

If the MX5 has a dead main battery and is as cold as the extended operating temperature’s
lowest value, the unit must be warmed to above –20°C (-4°F) before installing a new main battery
pack and pressing the On button.
