This device cannot charge/recharge coin cell batteries sealed inside the mobile device, if any. About this Guide This HX3 Battery Charger User's Guide is intended to familiarize the user with the safety and operating instructions necessary to use the HX3 Battery Charger (Model HX2A310CHGR6US, HX2A311CHGR6WW) to charge rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs (HX2A301BATTSTD, HX2A302BATTEXT) .
Do not store the Li-Ion battery pack in direct sunlight or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. If the Li-Ion battery pack is hot after removal from the HX3, allow it to cool at room temperature or in a cool air stream before placing it in the charger.

Installation Assemble the Power Supply Assemble the AC adapter for the HX3 Battery Charger before connecting it to the charger. The AC power supply for the battery charger is shipped with the battery charger. Contact Technical Assistance if there is no AC cable.
Setup Prerequisite: The AC Adapter is assembled and receiving AC power. The battery charger should be located in an area where it: Is well ventilated. Is not in high traffic areas. Locates or orients the AC cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress. Has enough clearance to allow easy access to the power port on the back of the device.
Use the charge function to return the HX3 battery pack to its maximum available power capacity. Use the analyze function to compare the battery pack’s maximum available capacity to the specified capacity. This allows you to determine the battery pack’s power loss due to age.
Inserting a Battery into the Charging Pocket Caution! It is important that battery packs are inserted into the charging pocket correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly could result in damage to the battery pack or the charger. Caution! Do not “slam” the battery pack into the charging pocket. Damage may result. When preparing the battery pack for insertion into the battery charging pocket, hold the battery with the battery charging contacts in line with the charging contacts in the charging pocket.
Interpreting the Charging Pocket LEDs The status of the charge operation is indicated by the color of the LED for each charging pocket. RED Continuous - on any charge pocket Continuous red means the battery pack is charging. RED FLASHING - on any charge pocket Battery pack fault or failure.
Using the Charge/Analyze Pocket 1. Analyze/Charge Percentage of Original value 2. Analyze Dome switch 3. Analyze/Charge Pocket LED The analyze/charge pocket is the one closest to the HX2 battery charger label and the Analyze dome switch. The analyze/charge pocket can be used to: Charge a standard battery pack in less than four hours.
Begin Analyzing Press the Analyze dome switch within 15 seconds of inserting the battery in the Analyze pocket to start the Analyze (Charge – Discharge – Charge) process. If the analyze dome switch is not pressed within 15 seconds, the battery will be charged, but not analyzed. The Analyze progress LEDs indicate the battery capacity as a percent of the original value.
The following is intended as an aid in determining whether the battery pack or the charger may be malfunctioning: Problem Cause Solution Check if the HX3 battery pack has Honeywell part number Different manufacturer's battery pack, HX2A301BATTSTD /160289-0001 or Battery pack does not or there is an object in the charging HX2A302BATTEXT/160320-0001 on the label.

Problem Cause Solution replacement options. The battery pack voltage has not LED is flashing RED at Contact Technical Assistance for battery pack replacement reached 6.0V within 30 minutes and any pocket. options. the charger has timed out. Remove battery pack from the charging pocket and allow it to adjust to room temperature.
Charger Cleaning, Storage and Service Cleaning Unplug the charger from the power source before cleaning or removing debris from charging pockets. Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp cloth to clean the outside of the charger. Do not use solvents or flammable cleaners.
Battery Cleaning, Storage and Service Cleaning The battery pack should not require cleaning unless it has become heavily soiled. Old or damaged batteries should be disposed of promptly and properly. The best way to dispose of used batteries is to recycle them. Battery recycling facilities recover the Nickel, Lithium or Lead from old batteries to manufacture new batteries.

Chapter 2: Set up a Battery Maintenance Routine Introduction The HX3 uses a standard (2000 mAh) or extended (4000 mAh) battery. Minimum battery life is 500 charge/discharge cycles before replacement. Hand held devices and body worn devices use Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) main battery packs that are lightweight and relatively small.
If the peripheral device does not have its own power source, and is designed to draw power from your HX3 battery, be aware that the way you use the peripheral device affects the drain on your battery. Peripheral devices affect your battery life in the following ways: The number of peripheral devices you use affects the drain on your batteries.
Maintenance Routine Managing your batteries with a battery maintenance routine is intended to ensure: You get as much battery life as you can. You need fewer batteries per shift. Every shift has fully charged batteries. There is a battery slot on the charger for each battery at the end of every shift. All unused batteries are placed in a charger at the end of every shift.
A Simple Battery Usage Routine A color coding routine used for a large or small operation that uses the same kind of battery in all mobile devices: 1. Color code all batteries by shift: 1. Shift 1 Blue 2. Shift 2 Red 3.
