Slide the bottom bracket out and away from the MX5X when replacing the Battery Pack.
Periodically check the handstrap for wear and the connection for tightness. If the handstrap gets
worn or damaged, it must be replaced. If the handstrap connection loosens, it must be tightened
before the MX5X is placed in service.
Tapping the Touchscreen with a Stylus
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil, abrasive or sharp object to write on the touch screen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the
stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder on the
back of the MX5X when the stylus is not in use.
In the same manner as using a mouse to left-click icons on a desktop/laptop computer screen,
using the stylus to tap icons on the MX5X display is the basic action that can:
• Open applications
• Choose menu commands
• Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
• Drag the slider in a scroll bar
• Select text by dragging the stylus across the text
• Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data or retrieving data using the integrated
barcode scanner or an input/output device connected to the serial port.
• A mouse right-click is performed by holding the stylus down on the touch screen. A circle
of dots appear and then the right-click operation can be performed. See Note.
Note: A ‘right mouse click’ function must be programmed by the customer to accept a constant
stream of left mouse click messages. An application can choose to interpret this stream of
messages as a right mouse click. LXE does not support non-LXE application
programming.
An extra or replacement stylus can be ordered from LXE. See the section titled Accessories for the
stylus part number.
Keypad Shortcuts
Use these keyboard shortcuts instead of the stylus:
• Press <Tab> and a <Left> or <Right Arrow> key to select a file.
• Press <Shift> and an <Up> or <Down Arrow> key to select several files. Press
<Shift+Arrow>, then <Shift+Arrow> again for each additional file selected.
• Once you've selected a file, press <Alt> then press <Enter> to open its Properties dialog.
• Press <Orange> then press <numeric dot> to delete the currently highlighted file(name).
Or, tap and hold the stylus on the filename and a ‘right-click’ menu box with a Delete
option appears.
