Batteries

The HX2 is designed to work with a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) tethered battery. 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 HX2retains 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.

Checking Battery Status

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 Battery Charger, HX2 Desktop 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.
