Important Battery Information
Backup Battery -- If the HX2 has been without a power source (connected to a fully charged
tethered battery or docked in a powered cradle) for an extended period of time or if HX2 external
power sources become completely discharged or dead, a fully charged HX2 backup battery will
last for up to 15 minutes. If the backup battery is fully discharged, the HX2 will reset as soon as it
is docked in a powered cradle, and the Power button is pressed, or connected to a fully charged
tethered battery. A reset will cause loss of data and custom programs in RAM . Always store
unused HX2s with a fully charged tethered battery. If possible, ensure the HX2 is periodically
docked in a powered cradle to maintain an optimum backup battery charged status.
To check battery status tap
| Settings | Control Panel | Battery tab.
• Until the tethered battery and backup battery are completely depleted, the HX2 is always
drawing power from the batteries (On).
• New Standard / Extended batteries must be fully charged prior to use.
• Whenever possible, place the HX2 in a powered cradle to conserve tethered battery power
and recharge the backup battery.
• When a new battery is tethered to the HX2 for the first time (or after the backup battery is
depleted), the Time and Date reverts to factory default values.
• Backup battery replacement is performed by LXE.
The HX2 cradle can charge two standard batteries in less than four hours or two extended
batteries in less than 8 hours in the battery wells behind the HX2 docking bay. The cradle requires
an external power source before battery charging can occur.
The HX2 Multi-Charger can charge up to six batteries at the same time. Each charging bay can
accept either battery. The Multi-Charger requires an external power source before
charging/analyzing can occur.
Li-Ion Battery
When disposing of the HX2 tethered batteries, the following precautions should be observed: The
battery should be disposed of properly. The battery should not be disassembled or crushed. The
battery should not be heated above 212°F (100°C) or incinerated.
