MX6 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX6RG-E-ARC
Core Logic
The MX6 supports the following I/O components of the core logic:
• One user accessible Secure Digital (SD) memory expansion card slot.
• One InfraRed port.
• One serial/USB port.
• One Digitizer Input port (Touch screen).
System Memory
On-board 64 MB RAM and 32MB non-volatile Flash contain the Windows Mobile operating
system, hardware-specific OEM Adaptation Layer, device drivers, standard Windows Mobile
applications and utilities. The operating system supports MFC, ATL and Visual Basic
programming languages, TCP/IP and PPP network protocols. The Flash is configured as the
primary boot device.
The mobile device has one Secure Digital card (SD) slot. The MX6 supports and auto detects up
to 256MB of memory. SD cards are neither installed nor supported by LXE.
Video Subsystem
The touch screen is a 3/8” (9.65cm) ¼ VGA 320 by 240 pixel TFT Reflective Active Color LCD.
Backlighting is available for the display and the keypad, and is turned on and off with a keypress.
The turn-off timing is configured through Start | Settings | System | Backlight icon. The display
controller supports Microsoft Windows Mobile graphics modes.
The touch screen allows mouse functions (pointing and tapping on the display or Signature
Capture) using an LXE approved stylus.
The color display is optimized for outdoor use but may also be used indoors. The color display has
a CCFL (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting) front light.
The transflective color display appears to have a greenish hue when the unit is in Suspend.
Power Supply
The LXE MX6 uses two batteries for operation. LXE strongly recommends keeping the MX6
connected to an external power supply when the MX6 is not in use.
• A replaceable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) 2000mAh battery pack. The battery pack recharges
while in the MX6 with the computer connected to an external power source (powered
cradle, AC/DC adapter, etc.) The main battery pack can be removed from the MX6 and
inserted in a single charger or four-bay multi-charger.
• An internal 3.6V NiMH backup battery. The backup battery is charged directly by the
main battery. The internal battery prematurely discharges if there is not at least a partially
charged battery in the MX6. Full charging of the backup battery requires seven hours.
The recharging of the backup battery is automatically controlled by the MX6 with an
installed main battery pack AND connected to an external power supply. The backup
battery must be replaced by qualified service personnel.
Audio Interface
An interface is available for headset/microphone operation. When the headset is plugged into the
audio port, the main speaker is disabled.
