Carrycase Remove the handstrap components from the MX9. Open the zippered case until there is enough space to insert the MX9 into the case. The touch screen must face forward so it, and the keypad, are visible through the windows in the carrycase.
The expansion slots in the MX9 are accessible via the hatch. The hatch can be opened using a standard size screwdriver. When the hatch is opened, the MX9 automatically shuts down. It is good practice to save any changes then perform an orderly shutdown to preserve RAM contents before opening the hatch.
When the Windows desktop is displayed or an application begins, the power up (or reboot) sequence is complete. Warmboot A warmboot reboots the MX9 without erasing any registry data. Applications and data in RAM are preserved during a warmboot. All registry configurations are automatically preserved. Any applications stored as .CAB files in the System folder and configured in the Registry to persist are reinstalled on boot up by the Launch utility.
(in a linear fashion) and never just stop working. This last more than a few hours. is important to remember – the MX9 is always ‘on’ even when in the Suspend state and draws a small amount of battery power at all times.
Non-decoding imager System Memory The MX9 supports 128 MB on-board RAM and 128 MB on-board Flash. Operating system and boot loader software image update is supported via expansion card and remote management via radio. Internal flash is used for boot loader code and system low-level diagnostics code. Bootloader code is validated at system startup.
The MX9 cables are designed to be securely connected to this port. This port is also used to connect the MX9 to the docking bay connector in cradles. A tethered protective cap is provided to cover the external port when it is not in use.
Power input Ethernet (accessible when MX9 is secured in a cradle's docking bay) The MX9 cables are designed to be securely connected to this port. This port is used to connect the MX9 to the docking bay connector in cradles.

Keypads The MX9 keypad is either a 62-key full alphanumeric keypad or 38-key numeric-alpha. The 62 key keypad has an ANSI or a 5250 overlay. The keypad backlight default setting is to follow the display backlight setting until it is changed by the user.
A modifier keypress cancels the other modifier’s active state. Then the state of the modifier key that was pressed last becomes active. For example, if the Orange modifier state is active (MX9 is currently in Orange mode), pressing the Blue key cancels Orange mode and sets Blue mode active.
Status LEDs Several LEDs are located on the front of the MX9 above the integrated speaker. They are: System Status LED indicates power management status. Battery Charging Status LED indicates main battery charging status. Alpha Mode Status LED applies to the 38-key keypad only.
MX9. The Scan LED on the wireless Bluetooth mobile scanner/imager illuminates. Note: A scanned bar code can be accepted as a good scan or a bad scan by the MX9 bar code decoder (as configured). The pre-selected audible or tactile indicator is activated.
Off. Cold Storage When the MX9 has been configured as a cold storage or low temperature device, a snowflake icon is located under the touch screen next to the product name.
A scan aperture heater is implemented for low temperature environments. Tethered Bar Code Decoders The external serial port at the base of the MX9 is used to connect (via serial tether) to bar code scanners as needed. Bluetooth Client Bar Code Decoders The Bluetooth Module in the MX9 can accept data from Bluetooth bar code readers.
User Idle timers are set using Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power > Schemes tab. Only interrupts classified as System Activity events will keep the MX9 awake in this state until a deliberate user action to put the unit into Suspend or power Off occurs. An event must be specifically coded to wake up from this state.
Note: These items are not configurable selections. RF Data Ethernet Data Serial Data USB Data Note: Pressing and releasing the Power key while the MX9 is in the System Idle state will cause it to transition to the Suspend state.
An application program calls the Suspend function. The MX9 will only resume from a suspended state if an interrupt occurs and the CPU has been programmed to wake when an interrupt occurs. An interrupt from any listed device transitions the OS back to the On state.
Internal Serial port handshaking (WAN, etc) 802.11 radio Docked signal (i.e., a non-powered cradle would not wake the MX9 up, but a powered cradle could be a wake up event if External Power is set to be a wake up event)
HazLoc versions of the MX9 require a screwdriver to remove the plate covering the battery release mechanism. When the MX9 is docked in a powered cradle, the battery in the MX9 is recharged through the cradle connector in the docking bay.
Car Power Adapter The MX9 Car Power Adapter is a self-contained unit. The cable has one and a half feet of coiled cord and one and a half feet of straight cord. The coiled portion is on the end of the adapter. An LED on the adapter illuminates when the car power adapter is receiving vehicle input power.
Operating System and Software Load There are several different aspects to the setup, configuration and operation of the MX9. Many of the setup and configuration settings are dependent upon the optional features such as hardware and software installed on the unit. The examples found in this section are to be used as examples only, the configuration of your specific MX9 computer may vary.

Setup a New Device Devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the MX9 is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed. After the administrator specifies the applications to lock, a password is assigned and the device is rebooted or the hotkey is pressed, the device switches to end- user mode.
End User Mode End-user mode locks the end-user into the configured application or applications. The end user can still reboot and respond to dialog boxes. Each application is automatically launched and runs in full screen mode when the device boots up. The user cannot unintentionally or intentionally exit the application nor can the end user execute any other applications.
Passwords A password must be configured. If the password is not configured, a new device switches into Administration mode without prompting for a password. In addition to the hotkey press, a mode switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured or if mandatory information is missing in the configuration.
A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the MX9 default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated. The check to the left of the application name indicates that the application is active.
Application Configuration Settings > Control Panel > Administration icon The default Administrator Hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. Administrator mode allows access to all features on the device. When the hotkey is pressed to switch into Administrator mode, a password prompt is displayed (if a password has been configured). A password must be entered within 30 seconds (and within three tries) or the password prompt is removed and the device remains in end-user mode with the focus returned to the locked application.
Application Panel Use the Application tab options to select the applications to launch when the device boots up in End-user Mode. If no application is specified when the Administrator Control Panel is closed, the mobile device reboots into Administrator mode. If a password has been set, but an application has not been specified, the user will be prompted for the password before entering administration mode.

Option Explanation See following section titled Launch Button. Launch Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named options Button contained in other Control Panels. Default is Ctrl+Spc. Select the Global Key key sequence the end-user is to press when switching between Global applications.
Launch Button Note: The Launch button may not be available in all versions of Multi-AppLock. Contact Technical Assistance downloads and AppLock update availability. When clicked, displays the Launch options panel for the Filename selected on the Administration panel. Note: Launch order is determined by the Order specified in the Application tab. The Order value does not have to be sequential.
Auto At Boot Default is Enabled. Auto At Boot When enabled, automatically launches (subject to the specified Delay in seconds) the application after the unit is rebooted. If a Delay in seconds is specified, AppLock waits for the specified period of time to expire before launching the application. The Delay default value is 10 seconds;...
Auto Re-Launch Auto Re-Launch Default is Enabled. When enabled for a specific application. automatically re-launches it (subject to the specified Auto Re-Launch Delay in seconds) after it terminates. This option allows the Administrator to disable the re-launch operation. AppLock cannot prevent all applications from closing.
Manual (Launch) Default is Disabled. Enabling this option allows the end-user to launch the specified application(s). Upon bootup completion an application with Manual enabled is listed on the Switchpad accompanied by a checkmark that indicates the application is currently active or available for Launching. When an application name is tapped by the end-user, the application is launched (if inactive) and brought to the foreground.
Allow Close Default is Disabled. When enabled, the associated application can be closed by the end-user. This option allows the administrator to configure applications that consume system resources to be terminated if an error condition occurs or at the end-user’s request. Error conditions may generate a topmost popup requiring an end-user response, memory resource issues requiring an end-user response, etc.
Match Default is blank (match is not used). AppLock works by associating display windows with the launched process ID. If an application uses different process IDs for windows it creates, the Match field must be used. Use the Match field to specify up to 32 characters of the class name for the application. DOS applications using a standard DOS display box should specify condev_appcls in the Match textbox.
End User Internet Explorer (EUIE) AppLock supports applications that utilize Internet Explorer, such as .HTML pages and JAVA applications. The end user can run an application by entering the application name and path in Internet Explorer’s address bar. To prevent the end user from executing an application using this method, the address bar and Options settings dialog are restricted in Internet Explorer.
Security Panel Hotkey Specify the hotkey sequence that triggers AppLock to switch between administrator and user modes and the password required to enter Administrator mode. The default hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A. key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence. Move the cursor to the Hot Key text box.
Page 87
Password Move the cursor to the Password text box. The passwords entered in the Password and Confirm Password fields must match. Passwords are case sensitive. When the user exits the Administrator Control panel, the two passwords are compared to verify that they match. If they do not match, a dialog box is displayed notifying the user of the error.
Options Panel AppLock contains several types of delays and timeouts to accommodate different applications. Please note that the delays specified on the Launch panel are delays before AppLock attempts to start the specified application(s). The timesouts specified on this panel are delays after AppLock has attempted to launch the application. Launch timeout This timeout specifies the period of time for AppLock to wait for the application to initially launch after the application has been called.
Status Panel Use the Status panel to view the log of previous AppLock operations and to configure which messages are to be recorded during AppLock operation. Status information is stored in a specific location on the storage device and in a specific logfile specified by the Administrator. For this reason, the administrator can configure the type of status information that is logged, as well as clear the status information.
Note: If a level higher than Error is selected, the status should be cleared frequently by the administrator. In addition to the three view levels the administrator can select that all status information be logged or turn off all status information logging completely.
The hotkey sequence needed is not allowed. What does this mean? When the Administrator is selecting a hotkey sequence to use when switching user modes, the Administrator is not allowed to enter key combinations that are reserved by installed software applications. Honeywell has validated RFTerm key combinations ONLY.
AppLock Error Messages Any messages whose first word is an ‘ing’ word is output prior to the action described in the message. For example, “Switching to admin-hotkey press” is logged after the administrator has pressed the hotkey but prior to starting the switch process. For all operations that can result in an error, an Error level message is displayed when a failure occurs.

This section assumes that a device supporting OPP is paired with the MX9. The MX9 (OPP client) initiates a connection to the remote device (OPP server) by selecting a file to push to the remote device. The MX9 sends the file and disconnects. The remote device may prompt the user (of that remote device) to accept the incoming request depending on the security settings of the remote device.
Manage digital certificates used for secure communication. Note: Digital certificates are date sensitive. If the date on the MX9 is incorrect, wireless authentication will fail. The Certificates stores lists the certificates trusted by the MX9 mobile device user. These values may change based on the type of network security resident in the client, access point or the host system.
When using any bar code reader to scan the Reset All (or equivalent) bar code (available in the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide) with the MX9 integrated scan engine, the next step is to open the Data Collection panel on the MX9, click the OK button and then close it.
The MX9 can use the following external bar code readers: Tethered hand-held scanners are tethered to a serial port on the MX9 or cradle/dock and are configured by scanning the engine-specific bar codes in the scanner manufacturer's programming guide. The manufacturer's guides are usually shipped with the bar code reader.
Data Processing Overview Bar code data processing involves several steps. Some steps may be skipped during the processing depending on user selections on the Data Options control panels. The steps are presented below in the order they are performed on the scanned data.
The parameters shown on these panels are only those that apply to the specific mobile device. Device with Symbol Scanner Device with Hand Held Products Imager Note: The Scan Mode (Continuous Scan) section is only present if the MX9 has a Symbol integrated scanner. Parameter Function 1 - Default is Disabled...
Enabling Continuous Scan Mode will ensure the laser is always on and decoding. Note: Continuous scan mode is only available if the MX9 is equipped with a Symbol scan engine. Do not scan decoder engine configuration bar codes when Continuous Scan Mode is on. Configuration bar codes do not decode when scanned while Continuous Scan Mode is On.

When All is selected in the Symbology field and the settings are changed, the settings in this dialog become the defaults, used unless overwritten by the settings for individual symbologies. This is also true for Custom IDs, where the code IDs to be stripped are specified by the user.
Advanced Button If there are advanced configuration options for the selected symbology, an Advanced button is displayed in the lower right corner of the panel. Not all bar code symbologies have configuration parameters so the Advanced button is not present for all symbologies.
Clear Button Clicking this button will erase any programmed overrides, returning to the default settings for the selected symbology. If Clear is pressed when All is selected as the symbology, a confirmation dialog appears: then all symbologies are reset to their factory defaults, and all star (*) indications are removed from the list of Symbologies.

Barcode Data Match List Barcode Data Panel This panel is used to strip data that matches the entry in the Match list from the bar code. Enter the data to be stripped in the text box and tap the Insert or Add button. The entry is added to the Match list. To remove an entry from the Match list, highlight the entry in the list and click the Remove button.
Match List Rules The data in the match list is processed by the rules listed below: Strings in the list will be searched in the order they appear in the list. If the list contains ABC and AB, in that order, incoming data with ABC will match first, and the AB will have no effect.
Add Prefix/Suffix Control Start > Settings > Control Panel > Data Collection > Symbology button Use this option to specify a string of text, hex values or hat encoded values to be added to the beginning (prefix) or the end (suffix) of the bar code data.
Symbologies The Code ID drop-down box filters the available symbologies, in the Symbology drop down box, by the selected Code ID. When a Hand Held Products imager scan engine is installed, AIM, Custom and HHP symbologies are displayed. HHP does not support Symbol IDs.
HHP Symbologies Advanced properties are available when an integrated Hand Held Products imager is installed. Advanced properties are applicable regardless of the ID type selected (AIM or HHP). HHP = Hand Held Products. Not all HHP symbologies have Advanced options. Click the symbology link in the table below for the symbology Advanced options.

When UPCE0 is disabled, it will be scanned by the scanner, but rejected by DCWedge.
Ctrl Char Mapping The Ctrl Char Mapping button (Control Character Mapping) activates a dialog to define the operations the Data Collection Wedge performs on control characters (values less than 0x20) embedded in bar codes. Control characters can be replaced with user-defined text which can include hat encoded or hex encoded values. In key message mode, control characters can also be translated to their control code equivalent key sequences.
Parameters Translate All This option is grayed unless the user has Send Key Messages (WEDGE) on the Main tab selected. In Key Message mode, when this option is enabled, control characters embedded in a scanned bar code are translated to their equivalent control key keystroke sequence (13 [0x0d] is translated to Control+M keystrokes as if the user pressed the CTRL, SHIFT, and m keys on the keypad).
Custom Identifiers Code IDs can be defined by the user. This allows processing parameters to be configured for bar codes that do not use the standard AIM IDs, HHP IDs or Symbol IDs or for bar codes that have data embedded at the beginning of the data that acts like a Code ID.
Parameters Name text box Name is the descriptor that is used to identify the custom Code ID. Names must be unique from each other; however, the Name and ID Code may have the same value. Name is used in the Symbology drop down box to identify the custom Code ID in a user-friendly manner.
