E-EQ-HX2RG-B HX2 Reference Guide
The HX2
After a new HX2 has been received, a charged battery tethered, and the Power key tapped, the
HX2 is always On until both batteries are drained completely of power.
When the tethered battery and backup battery are drained completely, the unit is in the Off mode.
The unit transitions from the Off mode to the On mode when a charged battery is attached to the
tether or external power is applied (for example, by docking the HX2 in a powered cradle) and the
HX2 Power key is pressed.
Suspend Mode
The HX2
The Suspend mode is entered when the unit is inactive for a predetermined period of time or the
user taps the Power key.
HX2 Suspend timers are set using
| Settings | Control Panel | Power | Schemes tab.
Any of the following primary events will wake the unit and reset the display / display backlight
timers:
Any key on the keypad
Stylus touch on the touchscreen
Scan button on ring scanner pressed
Docked in a powered cradle
Power button tap
When the unit wakes up, the Display Backlight and the Power Off timers begin the countdown
again. When any one of the above events occurs prior to the Power Off timer expiring, the timer
starts the countdown again.
The HX2 should be placed in Suspend Mode before hotswapping the main battery.
Hotswapping the Ring Scanner does not require placing the HX2 in Suspend Mode.
Off Mode
The unit is in Off Mode when the tethered battery and the backup battery are depleted. Connect a
fully charged main battery and press the Power key to turn the HX2 On.
