HX2 Docking/Charging Cradle 75
E-EQ-HX2RG-B HX2 Reference Guide
HX2 Docking/Charging Cradle
The HX2 desktop cradle secures the HX2 with or without a protective rubber boot, recharges the
tethered HX2 battery and a spare battery (Standard and Extended), has a protected storage bay for
the tethered Ring Scanner when the HX2 is docked, and enables serial communication with USB
devices (host, client, and other USB cabled devices).
HX2 keypad data entries can be mixed with ring scanner barcode data entries while the HX2 is
docked in a cradle.
Using an external power supply the HX2 cradle recharges Standard batteries in approximately 4
hours (8 hours for the Extended battery). The HX2 does not need to be docked during a spare
battery charging process. See Accessories.
Remove the voice case before placing the HX2 in the cradle. The HX2 cannot be docked in a
cradle while it is mounted in a hip flip or arm band.

IMPORTANT –
• Do not put the HX2 into Suspend Mode (using Start | Suspend or by tapping the Power
key) while the HX2 is connected to peripheral devices (or ActiveSync) through the
connectors on the cradle. The HX2 is unable to maintain the connection during Suspend
Mode.
• If the USB connections are interrupted due to a Suspend operation – then when the HX2
resumes, disconnect the cables and then reconnect the cables again to initiate USB and/or
ActiveSync connection again.
