Chapter 1 Introduction
The MX1 is a rugged, portable, hand-held PC-compatible computer capable of wireless data
communications while being carried. The MX1 can transmit information using either a 900 MHz
or 2.4 GHz radio. It can store information for later transmission through an RS-232 or InfraRed
port. The MX1 is vertically oriented and features backlighting for the display.
The MX1 is a DOS compatible computer designed to run as a batch unit or to run software
applications such as LXE’s Terminal Emulator applications (ANSI Plus, LDS Plus, DOS 5250,
DOS 3270, TN3270 and TN5250).
The heart of the MX1 is an Intel® 486 processor that is PC compatible. The MX1 features a
graphics screen with electroluminescent backlight. The keypad is constructed of a phosphorescent
material that needs no backlighting. The case is constructed of high-impact plastic designed to
withstand multiple drops in an industrial environment.
