4 Quick Start
VX5 User’s Guide E-EQ-VX5OGWW-F-ARC
Quick Start
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only accessory installation (e.g. antenna, external keyboard and/or barcode scanner)
and a power source.
Use this guide as you would any other source book -- reading portions to learn about the VX5,
and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide
takes you through installation and operation of the LXE VX5.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Install Vehicle Mounting Bracket (and keyboard mounting bracket) on vehicle.
2. Secure VX5 in Mounting Bracket Assembly.
3. Connect vehicle power source to VX5 power cable.
4. Connect power cable to the VX5. The power cable can also be connected to a UPS
battery pack, which is then connected to the VX5.
5. Connect accessories to VX5, e.g. scanner, antenna, keyboard.
6. Secure all cables to the VX5 with the Strain Relief Cable Clamps.
7. Turn the VX5 on.
The VX5 and its keyboard should be mounted in an area in the vehicle where it:
• Does not obstruct the vehicle driver’s vision or safe vehicle operation.
• Can be easily accessed by anyone seated in the driver’s seat.
