IBM LXE MX5 Manuel D’Utilisation

This section's instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is 

pre-configured and requires only accessory installation (e.g. hand strap) and a 

power source.  
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. (Always put a fully charged battery in the MX5 

at the beginning of the shift or workday.) 

2.  Connect an external power source to the unit (if required). 

3.  If the screen does not automatically display, tap the Power key.  

4.  Adjust screen display, audio volume and other parameters if desired. 

To set up the MX5 integrated scanner barcode reading parameters, please 

refer to the “

” on the LXE Manuals 

CD or the LXE website www.lxe.com. Your device may have a SE1223, SE1224 

or SE2223 scan engine. 

Can’t align the screen, 

change the date/time or 

adjust the volume. 

AppLock is installed and running on the mobile 

device. AppLock restricts access to the control 

panels. Contact your System Administrator. 

Tap the Windows icon | Programs | File Explorer | My Documents | My 

Device | Compact Flash folder. The CompactFlash socket is located in a 
recess underneath the MX5’s main battery. 

Li-Ion batteries (like all batteries) gradually lose their capacity over time (in a 

linear fashion) and never just stop working. This is important to remember -- the 
MX5 is always 'on' even when in the Suspend state and draws battery power at 

all times. Tap the Windows icon | Settings | System | Handheld Settings 

tab to check the battery status and power reading.
