Normal Operations
The optimal operating temperature range for the HX1 Multi-Charger is between 32°F and 113°F
(0°C and 45°C). Best charging performance occurs at room temperature, 68ºF to 77ºF (20ºC to
25ºF). While charging, the charger and battery pack will generate enough heat to feel warm. This
is normal and does not indicate a problem. The charger has an internal cooling fan to dissipate
heat. 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 computer, 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 charger pocket. 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.
Do not place or store the HX1 Multi-Charger in hazardous locations.
Maintenance
Use a clean soft cloth to wipe any dirt, moisture or grease from the battery pack, contacts or the
charger. Battery contacts can be cleaned with a cotton swab and alcohol.
The fan guard may become plugged with dust and other foreign material. It is recommended that
the fan guard be cleaned monthly to remove and dust buildup.
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 HX1
Multi-Charger. Should your charger require service, contact LXE.
The programming port should not be used, except under the direction of LXE Customer Service.
