E-EQ-MX7OGWW-C MX7 User’s Guide
Installing Trigger Handle (Optional)
Note: Either the trigger handle is attached to the MX7 or the handstrap is attached, not both.
LXE recommends that, in the absence of a trigger handle, the handstrap be used at all
times.
The MX7 can be purchased with a customer-installable trigger handle. The handle is shipped with
a wrist strap. The handle enables the user of the MX7 to hold the mobile device comfortably while
pointing and activating the scanner with one hand. With the handle installed, the MX7 can balance
on a tabletop supported by the nose of the mobile device and the bottom of the handle.
Pressing the trigger on the handle activates the laser scanner / imager. The trigger performs the
same function as the Scan key on the keypad. With the handle installed the Scan key on the
keypad remains active.
The handle is built of a durable and flexible plastic with a rubber grip that will not detach from the
MX7 if the unit is dropped. The trigger handle is a mechanical device. Battery or external A/C
power is not required for operation of the trigger handle. The trigger handle does not need to be
removed when replacing the main battery. The trigger handle does not contain a battery pack.

Handle Installation
Equipment Needed: Torque wrench capable of torquing to 3±1 in/lb (.34± .11 N/m) .
1. Place the MX7, with the screen facing down, on a flat stable surface.
2. Remove the main battery pack.
3. Slide the locking tab on the underside of the pistol grip into the slot at the back of the battery
compartment and press it firmly into place.
4. Ensure that the battery can be inserted into the battery compartment before securing the pistol
grip handle into place.
5. Attach the pistol grip handle to the MX7 (as shown above) with the two screws provided.
6. Torque the Pan Head Screws to 3±1 in/lb (.34±.11 N/m).
7. Test the handle's connection making sure the MX7 is securely connected to the handle.
Periodically check the pistol grip handle for wear and the connection for tightness. If the handle
gets worn or damaged, it must be replaced. If the pistol grip connection loosens, it must be
tightened before the MX7 is placed in service.
