Introduction 5

E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide

Installation and Operation

Introduction

The life and capacity of a Lithium Ion battery can vary significantly depending on the discharge

current and the environment in which it is used. As with all batteries, expect to see a reduction in

the total number of operations a fully charged battery pack can deliver as it ages. When the battery

reaches end-of-life, it must be replaced.

Charging times may increase but will not exceed four hours for the Standard battery packs and

eight hours for the Extended battery packs. Battery packs do not need to be fully discharged

between charge cycles.

Analyzing times may increase but will not exceed 16 hours for the Standard battery packs and 32

hours for the Extended battery pack. Minimum analysis time is 8.5 hours. Typical analysis time is

approximately 12 hours for the Standard battery pack and 24 hours for the Extended battery pack.

Normal Operations

The optimal operating temperature range for the HX2 Multi-Charger is between 50°F and 104°F

(10°C and 40°C). While charging, the charger and battery pack will generate enough heat to feel

warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. Do not store the battery pack in direct

sunlight or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. If the battery pack is hot after removal

from the mobile device, allow it to cool at room temperature before placing it in the charger.

Charge times may increase significantly if the battery is warm or hot, since it takes the battery

pack longer to cool down while in the battery well. If the battery pack is hot from severe

environmental use and immediate recharging is necessary, place the battery pack in a cool air

stream or in a cool location until it is no longer warm to the touch before charging.

When a battery is placed in a charging pocket, the multi-charger begins charging the battery.

There is a slight delay while the multi-charger evaluates the condition of the battery (ambient

temperature, remaining charge, etc.) before charging begins.

Do not place, store or use the HX2 Multi-Charger in hazardous locations.

6 Setup

HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B

Setup

Ensure that the location you choose for the battery charger/analyzer is:

• Well ventilated.

• Is not in high traffic areas.

Charging a Battery 7

E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide

Orienting and Inserting the Battery Pack

Caution!

It is important that battery packs are inserted into the charging/analyzing pocket

correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly could result in damage to the battery pack

or the charger/analyzer.

When preparing the battery pack for insertion into an HX2 multi-charger pocket, hold the battery

with the HX2 cable connect interface up and the battery charging contacts in line with the

charging contacts in the charging pocket.

The alignment ribs will line up with the rib notches. Both the standard battery pack and extended

battery packs fit in all pockets.

Caution!

Do not “slam” the battery pack into the

charging or analyze/charge pocket.

Damage may result.

Figure 5 Insert Battery in Charging Pocket

Place the battery pack into the battery charging pocket, lining up the rib notches on the battery and

the pocket. Firmly press the battery down into the charging pocket until it is fully inserted.

The battery alignment ribs fit snugly in both rib notches on either side of the battery charging

pocket. If they do not, remove the battery and turn it around, keeping the HX2 cable interface

uppermost, until the alignment ribs fit correctly in the charging pocket.

Charging a Battery

The HX2 Multi-Charger indicates the status of a battery pack in the charging pocket with an LED

located below each pocket. There are six charging pockets available that can hold and charge the

Standard and the Extended battery pack.

8 Using the Analyze / Charge Pocket

HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B

Using the Analyze / Charge Pocket

The analyze/charge pocket is the one closest to the HX2 Multi-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.

• Charge an Extended battery pack in less than 8 hours.

• Analyze a standard battery pack, ending with the battery pack fully charged, in less than

twelve hours.

• Analyze an extended battery pack, ending with the battery pack fully charged, in less than

32 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. See figure titled “Analyzer LED

Location”.

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.

When the Analyze dome switch has been pressed, the Analyze LED will illuminate Red to

indicate that the battery testing has started. As the analysis proceeds and during the discharge

activity, the four progress LEDs at the side of the battery pocket will illuminate in sequence to

indicate the capacity of the battery . The Analyze LED is Green when the process is finished. The

battery is then ready for use provided the capacity is acceptable.

E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide

Maintenance

Use a clean soft cloth to wipe any dirt, moisture or grease from the battery pack, contacts or the

charger. Do not use any liquid to clean the battery pack or charger contacts. Any dust or moisture

that adheres to the tether connector can potentially cause damage upon cable connection.

Storage

Battery packs should be kept in a cool, dry place whenever possible. Do not store battery packs in

direct sunlight, on a metal surface, or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. Do not leave

the battery pack in a non-operating charger. The battery pack may discharge through the charger

rather than hold its charge.

Service

There are no user serviceable parts in the Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack or the HX2

Multi-Charger. Should your charger require service, contact LXE.

Troubleshooting

The following is intended as an aid in determining whether the battery pack or the charger may be malfunctioning.

Problem Cause Solution

Battery pack does not fit in

battery well.

Different manufacturer's battery

pack, or there is an object in the

battery well.

Alignment ribs

Check if the battery pack is LXE part

number: HX2A301BATTSTD or

HX2A302BATTEXT.

If not, do not use. Remove the object

from the battery well.

Turn the battery pack until the curved

part of the charging pocket matches up

with the curved part of the battery pack.

Make sure the HX2 cable connector is

up.

No battery pack in charger, but

any of the LEDs are on.

Dirt or foreign objects are in the

battery pocket.

Unplug charger from outlet. Remove any

dirt or foreign objects from battery

pockets. If the LEDs continue to remain

ON, the charger may be defective. Return

charger to an authorized LXE service

center.

Charger is plugged into a live

outlet, battery pack is inserted,

but RED LED is OFF and no

other LEDs are on, or all LEDs

are off.

• Battery pack is not making

contact with charging

terminals in the battery

pocket.

• Faulty battery pack.

• New battery pack, same

result.

• Push battery pack in firmly. Do not

"slam" the battery pack into the

battery well.

• Replace battery pack.

• Contact LXE for replacement

options.

12

HX2 Multi-Charger User’s Guide E-EQ-HX2CHGROG-B

Problem Cause Solution

When you first put a fully

charged battery pack in the

battery well, the RED LED

comes on, indicating the battery

pack is charging.

During the first few minutes, the

charger checks the battery pack

for correct voltage and charge

state. During this time the LED

is RED and is continuously ON.

After charging is complete, the

LED is GREEN.

There is nothing wrong with the battery

pack or charger.

Current could not be sourced

through the battery pack due to

age, exhaustion or damage to

the cell(s). The battery pack

does not communicate with the

charger.

OR

Contact LXE for battery pack

replacement options.

The battery pack voltage has not

reached 6.0V within 30 minutes

and the charger has timed out.

OR

Contact LXE for battery pack

replacement options.

LED is flashing RED at any

station.

The charger’s timeout period

has expired.

Make sure that the battery pack

temperature is within specification and

retry charging. If problem repeats,

contact LXE for battery pack replacement

options.

Solid YELLOW LED when

battery pack is inserted in the

charger.

The battery pack is too hot or

too cold to charge.

Remove battery pack from the charger

and allow it to adjust to room

temperature.

Note: If the battery pack is left in the

charger, it will cool down or warm to a

temperature upon which the charger will

begin the charge cycle. However,

depending on the temperature of the

battery, it may take 2-3 hours to adjust.

The cool-down or warm-up of a battery

pack is much quicker if the battery is not

in the battery pocket.
