HX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-HX2RG-B
Batteries
The HX2 is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) tethered battery from LXE. Under
normal conditions it should last approximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The
more you use the ring scanner or the wireless transmitter, the shorter the time required between
battery recharges.
A suspended HX2 maintains the date and time for a minimum of two days while tethered to a
battery that has reached the Low Warning point and a fully charged backup battery. The HX2
retains data, during a battery hot swap, for at least 5 minutes.
Note: New battery packs must be charged prior to use. The Standard batteries require less
than four hours and the Extended batteries require less than 8 hours.

Main Battery Pack
The main battery pack has a rugged plastic enclosure that is designed to withstand the ordinary
rigors of an industrial environment. Exercise care when transporting the battery pack making sure
it does not come in contact with excessive heat or any power source other than the HX2 Multi-
Charger, HX2 Cradle or the HX2 unit.
Whenever possible, protect the battery charging terminals (five small round circles) by keeping
them covered by the battery sleeve fabric. The battery pack is resistant to impact damage.
Under normal conditions a properly tethered Standard battery should last a minimum of
approximately eight hours before requiring a recharge, the Extended battery a minimum of
approximately 16 hours.
