Operation
Powering On/Off
Connect the VX6 to a power source, either AC or Vehicle.
The power (on/off) button is located on the front of the VX6. The switch is sealed by a rubber
membrane. The Status LED on the LXE VX6 is illuminated when the power is on:
•
Green – VX6 is operating from vehicle or AC
•
Solid Yellow – VX6 is operating from the UPS
•
Flashing Yellow – VX6 is operating from the UPS, but UPS battery is critically low.
Press the power button to start the VX6. You are now ready to use the computer.
Enter data using the keyboard, touchscreen or a Serial Barcode Scanner.
Note: Always turn the computer off prior to connecting or disconnecting any power source.
The VX6 is designed for an orderly shutdown when using the power button. An orderly
shutdown first closes any open programs, and then shuts down the Windows CE .NET
operating system. DO NOT remove power from the VX6 without shutting down the VX6.
The VX6 shutdown may be initiated in any of the following ways:
•
Momentarily pressing and releasing the power button (less than 5 seconds) performs
an orderly shutdown.
•
Pressing and holding the power button for more than five seconds forces a shutdown.
Any open programs and the Windows CE .NET operating system are shut down before
power off. Use this option to shut down the VX6 when the operating system is not
responding.
For more information on the shutdown process, please refer to the Windows CE .NET help
function or commercially available help guides.
