Connect Power Source
A power source must be connected to the RX2 before it can be used.
Please refer to the following sections to determine the desired method to power the RX2.
Internal Battery Pack (Optional)
The RX2 is available with an optional internal battery pack.
Use the battery charger to charge the RX2’s internal battery. The RX2 battery charger charges the
RX2 battery pack in less than 6 hours. It is recommended the internal battery pack be fully
charged before installing the RX2.
The battery charger uses an adapter cable. One end of the cable has a “break away” connection to
reduce the chance of damage if the forklift is moved before the battery charger is disconnected.
The other end of the cable attaches to the coupler on the forklift.
The coupler is mounted on a bracket. The coupler is connected via a cable to the RX2.

Figure 5 Battery Charger and Cable
Once fully charged, the internal RX2 battery pack powers the RX2 for nine hours.
The RX2 provides a low battery warning as follows:
• The power LED flashes red (or is solid red while the RX2 is booting)
• The low battery buzzer sounds
• A low battery signal can be sent via the radio card to the network host (please refer
to your system administrator for details).
When the low battery warning is displayed, there is approximately 30 minutes of power left in the
battery. If the battery is not recharged before it is depleted, the RX2 automatically shuts down.
The RFID reader remains functional until the battery can no longer power the RX2.
If time does not permit the recharging of the internal battery pack, an external battery pack may be
connected as detailed later in this chapter.
Caution:
!
To prevent damage to the RX2, the cables or the battery charger, make sure
the charger is disconnected before moving the forklift truck.
