2 Getting Started Overview This guide contains installation and configuration instructions for the Honeywell 8650 Bluetooth® Ring Scanner module, its tethered ring scanner or ring imager and battery chargers. Bar code decoding laser engines and imager engines are designed to read, decode and collect bar coded data from any nearby compatible bar code label that is visible and on printed media.
Initial Setup Following are the steps you might take when setting up a new Bluetooth Ring Scanner. More instruction for each step is listed later in this guide. Contact Customer Support (page 10-1) if you need additional help. Accessory installation or removal should be performed on a clean, well-lit surface. When necessary, protect the work surface, the Bluetooth Ring Scanner, and components from electrostatic discharge.
Components Bluetooth Ring Scanner Before Assembly 1. Module 2. Battery 3. Ring Scanner 4. Hand Strap Assembly Bluetooth Module 1. Battery Compartment Latch 2. Speaker 3. LED 4. Input/Output Port: Ring device cable connector The Bluetooth ring scanner module does not have a power or on-off switch. When the battery is installed, the unit and its accessories are On. Remove the battery to power down or turn off the unit.
Wrist Strap / Back of Hand Strap 1. Loops 2. Elastic ring cable protector 3. Bluetooth module sleeve 4. Hooks Ring Imager / Ring Scanner The ring imager can scan and decode 1D and 2D bar codes. The imager has three small illumination LEDs at the top of the scan window or aperture. The ring scanner can scan and decode 1D bar codes. The scanner does not have illumination LEDs.
Assembly Determine Left or Right Orientation Determining whether to wear the module assembly on the left or right has a bearing on how the ring cable is attached to the module and the ring to the finger. The ring cable should not cross over or under the hand. Insert Module in Sleeve There are two strap sizes to accommodate different sizes of wrists and hands. Choose the best size for a secure fit.
Connecting the Ring Device Cable 1. Slip the ring cable connector through the elastic ring cable guide on the side of the Bluetooth module sleeve. The connector can be inserted from the left or the right. 1. Choose the same side as the finger that will be wearing the ring. The ring cable guides are designed to minimize excessive pulling or tugging on the scanner cable after the ring device is connected to the Bluetooth module. 2. Press the connector firmly into the I/O port.
4. Press down on the battery until it is seated in the battery bay and close the battery bay hatch cover. Slide the battery latch to the left to secure the battery in the Bluetooth Module. 5. The Bluetooth module beeps (short low tone beep, long low tone beep, long high tone beep) and the module LED flashes. Module Battery Help Issue: There is no beep or LED flash when inserting battery into the module.
Scanning bad bar codes generates a bad scan beep and/or an LED light sequence. In some cases, the receipt of data from the ring device triggers a good scan beep from the Bluetooth module, and then the rejection of scanned bar code data by the paired mobile device processing causes a bad scan beep from the paired mobile device on the same data. See the mobile device specific guide for an explanation of the LED and beep indicators for the paired device.
Bluetooth Ring Device LED The ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound. The ring device LED indicates status as follows: LED System Condition Bluetooth Module Beep Sequence Green User Good Scan Short high beep Green Configuration Good Scan Configuration process successful. Three Short high beeps Red Scan in progress None Red Configuration Bad Scan Configuration process failed. Three Short low beeps Slow blink Amber, once every .25 sec.
Rebooting the Bluetooth Module Suspend To improve battery life, the Suspend timeout can be adjusted by scanning the bar codes in Set Suspend Timeout. Suspend begins if the Suspend timeout occurs before the ring device trigger is pressed. A ring decoder scan button press is required to wake the module from Suspend. The module is ready to receive bar code data. Note: After the ring device scan button press (to wake the module from Suspend) another scan button press is needed to scan a bar code.
When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module pairs with another Bluetooth device, it means the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module can send serial data to the paired Bluetooth device. Bluetooth Ring Scanner module paired data is stored in non-volatile memory in the module and data is saved over power cycles. Paired devices automatically reconnect when power is applied. Bluetooth MAC ID Bar Code Label Locate the bar code label, similar to the one shown above, attached to the Bluetooth capable Honeywell mobile device.
Connecting to a Generic Bluetooth Device 1. Using the ring scanner attached to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module, and the bar codes in Bluetooth Module Programming, scan the following bar codes: • Restore Factory Defaults • Pairing Status > Enable Slave Mode 2. Using the ring decoder and the bar codes in the ring decoder-engine-specific chapter (e.g., SE955 Laser Bar Codes) configure the ring decoder to meet the requirements of the targeted generic Bluetooth device. 3.
5. Removing / Replacing the Ring Finger Strap Assembly Note: Do not pull on the finger strap or the flexible liner to remove the finger strap assembly. This quick disconnect function is designed for occasional safety hazards and is not intended for daily removal. Using the Quick Disconnect Function, grasp the finger strap and pull the finger strap out and away from the ring scanner.
How To Scan a Bar Code The function to use an imager like a camera (or for OCR decoding) is not supported. Using a Continuous Scan option, if available, to scan programming bar codes is not supported. The linear bar codes in this guide were created using Code 128 symbology. Your Bluetooth Ring Scanner has been set up by Honeywell to automatically read / decode Code 128 bar codes.
Factors That May Impact Scanner Performance Successful scanning range of a bar code decoder is dependent upon many outside influences including size of the bar code, quality of the bar code printing, material the bar code is printed on, condition of the scan lens (scratches) and angle of the beam aperture relative to the bar code label. Any of these factors may result in having to re-scan the label from a different distance or angle. Bar Code Quality Check the bar code for marks or physical damage e.g.
Issue: Bar codes on the printed page are too compact to be scanned, especially with a long range scanner. Solution 1 - Printing Adobe Acrobat PDF File Pages: When printing pages from an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, there is a difference between laser printer types and how they handle some Adobe Acrobat print functions – specifically, the “shrink to fit” option on the Print Options screen. Before clicking Print, make sure the “Shrink oversized pages to paper size” checkbox is unchecked.
Return to Factory Default Settings Choose one of the following methods to restore factory defaults in the module: 1. Scan the Restore Factory Defaults (page 3-2) bar code. 2. To physically reset the module to factory default settings, remove the battery. Replace the battery while pressing the ring scanner trigger for 30 or more seconds and the factory default configuration is restored.

3 Bluetooth Module Programming Bar Codes Introduction Bar codes in this section are designed to be read by a ring scanner or ring imager connected to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module. This section contains programming bar codes to be used when programming the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module only. The bar codes were created using Code 128 ASCII. An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting. Honeywell scanners and imagers are setup to read Code 128 bar codes by default.
Restore Factory Defaults Scan this bar code to restore factory defaults in the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module. Restore Factory Defaults Module Firmware Version 1. Connect the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module to a host device with a video display. Bluetooth Ring Scanner must be fully assembled (battery, ring decoder). 2. If necessary, open a text editor on the host device, make sure the cursor is in the open file, then scan this bar code.
Pairing Status Scan the bar code to enable pairing in Slave Mode for the Bluetooth module. Upon a successful scan, the Bluetooth module then disconnects from the paired device, deletes any saved or current pairing information and transitions into slave mode. When pairing as Master device is successful, the module emits a pattern of a short low beep and a short high beep and the Blue LED blinks slowly, every 4 seconds.
Suspend Timeout To improve battery life, the Suspend timeout can be adjusted by scanning the following bar codes. A trigger press is required to wake the module from Suspend. Note: After the trigger press (to wake the module from Suspend) another trigger press is needed to scan a bar code.
Set Suspend Timeout to 30 minutes Set Suspend Timeout to 45 minutes Set Suspend Timeout to 60 minutes Beep on Reconnect When Beep on Reconnect is enabled and reconnect is successful, the module emits a pattern of a short low beep and a short high beep and the Blue LED blinks slowly, every 4 seconds. When Beep on Reconnect is disabled and reconnect is unsuccessful over the reconnect interval, the module emits a pattern of a short high beep and a short low beep and the blue LED blinks fast, every 1 second.
Reconnect Interval Timeout Scan one of the following bar codes to set the amount of time between attempts to reconnect with a previously connected Bluetooth enabled device.
Reconnect Interval Timeout 10 minutes Reconnect Interval Timeout 15 minutes Reconnect Interval Timeout 30 minutes Reconnect Timeout Scan one of the following bar codes to set the amount of time the Master device will retry connection attempts before ceasing attempts. When the parameter is set to Off, reconnect attempts will continue until the battery in the Bluetooth module is depleted.
Reconnect Timeout 5 minutes Reconnect Timeout 30 minutes Reconnect Timeout 60 minutes Role Switching When Role Switching is enabled and the module has successfully paired with an Bluetooth capable mobile device as a master, the module will perform role switching with the mobile device and become a slave device.
Authentication Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a device with which a connection is to be established. When Authentication is disabled, any device can connect to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module. When Authentication is enabled, the connecting device is required to enter the PIN value set by the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module before successful connection can occur.
Beep Volume The Bluetooth Module speaker volume can be reset by scanning one of the following bar codes.
Ring Imager Focus Mode Note: This parameter is to be used for the ring imager connected to the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module only. The ring scanner will ignore this parameter if it scans it in error. Select a focus mode to control the working range of the imager. When Far Focus is selected, the imager is optimized to read at its far position. With Near Focus, the imager is optimized to read at its near position. Smart Focus toggles the focus position after every frame.
Enter Friendly Name or PIN Code PIN Code 1. Scan the Set PIN Code bar code, then scan up to 16 alphanumeric characters to set the Bluetooth module PIN Code. 1. Scan the numbers, lowercase alpha and uppercase alpha bar codes. 2. When finished entering all characters, scan the Stop PIN Code setup bar code. 3. Scan the Stop PIN Code setup bar code to end PIN Code data entry. The PIN Code default is 16 zeros (0000000000000000).
Friendly Name 1. Scan the Set Friendly Name bar code, then scan up to 32 alphanumeric characters to set the Bluetooth module Friendly Name. 1. Scan the numbers, lowercase alpha and uppercase alpha bar codes. 2. When finished entering all characters, scan the Stop Friendly Name setup bar code to end Friendly Name data entry. 3. The Friendly Name default value is “LXE Scanner” + MAC address in Hexadecimal. The Friendly Name can be viewed using EZ Pairing on the paired mobile device.

4 1D Laser Scanner Programming Bar Codes Introduction These bar codes, explanations and instructions are for programming the SE955 laser scanner engine in your ring scanner. Do not scan the bar codes in this section with any other imager or laser engine. Note: A ring scanner does not have beep / audio capability. Assumption: The user is familiar with Windows on-screen functions. Scan engine manufacturers may offer more bar codes and options than are contained in this chapter.
Aiming Modes There are many aiming “modes” for laser bar code scanners – aiming dots, aiming patterns, aim duration, etc. All aiming “modes” concern the length of time the beam is sent out, how wide the beam is and what happens when the timer expires. The terms are used interchangeably and may be confusing for the novice bar code laser scanner user. Note: Decoding algorithms released by the bar code engine manufacturer often change upon each new release.

If no custom defaults were set, scan Restore Defaults to restore the factory default values. Set Factory Defaults Restore the factory default values. If custom defaults were set, they are eliminated. Write Custom Defaults Store the current scanner settings as custom defaults.
Scanner Parameters – General Aim Duration Note: For correct operation, reboot the mobile device after changing this value. When a scanner with an aim mode is triggered either by a Scan button press, or a Start_Decode command, this parameter sets the duration the aiming pattern is seen before a scan attempt begins. It does not apply to the aim signal or the Aim_On command. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. No aim pattern is visible when the value is 0.0.
Disable All Symbologies Scan the bar code below to disable the decoding of all symbologies. Use this to simplify selecting a single symbology to decode by scanning this bar code, then scanning the desired enable code type bar code. Note that the decoder can still decode parameter bar codes. Data Options Note: SE955 ring scanner engine prefix and suffix parameters cannot be set, changed, or reset using the bar codes in this chapter. See previous section titled Prefix / Suffix (page 4-2).
Next, scan four numeric bar codes that correspond to the computer keycode using the Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72). If you wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page. Suffix 2 To begin setting Suffix 2 value, scan this bar code: Next, scan four numeric bar codes that correspond to the computer keycode using the Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72). If you wish to change your numeric selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page.

Transmit Code ID Character Default Value: None A code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This may be useful when the scanner is decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol. Scan one of the following bar codes to select either no code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character or an AIM Code ID character.
Transmit AIM Code ID Character Each AIM Code Identifier contains the three character string ]cm where: ]= Flag Character (ASCII 93) c= Code Character A Code 39 C Code 128 E UPC/EAN F Codabar G Code 93 H Code 11 I Interleaved 2 of 5 M MSI Plessey S D2 of 5, IATA 2 of 5 X Code 39 Trioptic, Bookland EAN e GS1 DataBar (RSS) m= Modifier Character The modifier character is the sum of the applicable option values based on the following table.
Code Type Option Value Option Interleaved 2 of 5 0 No check digit processing. 1 Reader has validated check digit. 3 Reader has validated and stripped check digit . Example: An I 2 of 5 bar code without check digit, 4123, is transmitted as ]I04123 Codabar 0 No check digit processing. 1 Reader has checked check digit. 3 Reader has stripped check digit before transmission.
Laser On Time Note: For correct operation, reboot the Bluetooth Ring Scanner after changing this value. Default: 3.0 seconds This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.50 to 25.5 seconds. If a label has not been decoded before this time expires and the session is terminated, the system regards it as a failed scan attempt.
Linear Code Type Security Level (Redundancy Level) Use this parameter to determine the security level appropriate for bar code quality. The security level indicates how many times the bar code must be successfully read by the scanner before being decoded. There are four security levels. Higher security levels are selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases. Select an option by scanning one of the bar codes shown below.
Parameter Pass Through Enable Parameter Pass Through to transmit bar codes in the following format, in Code 128, to the host: L B<12 characters of data> Note that the special Code 128 character must appear at the beginning of this data. However, if the appropriate data does not follow this as shown above, it does not transmit to the host device.
Power Mode Note: Mobile devices are designed to be operated in Low Power Mode. For best results this value should remain unchanged. Note: A parameter setting of Continuous On means the laser scanner will not power down until the mobile device is powered off. A parameter setting of Low Power means the laser scanner will enter low power mode after one second of waiting for a Scan button press. Pressing the Scan button will begin the decode sequence.
Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Options The SSI Options bar codes are directed toward the host programmer when writing host/scanner interface programs for different hosts. Contact Customer Support (page 10-1) for technical help. Note: Baud Rate Parameter must remain at 9600 bps at all times. SSI Defaults The SSI Options bar codes are directed toward the host programmer when writing host/scanner interface programs for different hosts.
Decode Data Packet Format This parameter selects whether decoded data is transmitted in raw format (unpacketed), or transmitted with the packet format as defined by the serial protocol. If the raw format is chosen, ACK/NAK handshaking is automatically disabled for decode data. Set this parameter by scanning either of the following bar codes.
Next, scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value using the Keypad Number Symbols at the end of this chapter. Time durations of less than 1.0 second require a leading zero. For example, a value of 4.5 seconds is selected by scanning the “4” and the “5” numeric bar codes. A value of 0.3 seconds is selected by scanning the “0” and the “3” bar codes. If you wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page.
Mark Parity The parity bit is always 1. Space Parity The parity bit is always 0. * No Parity No parity is required. The SSI Options bar codes are directed toward the host programmer when writing host/scanner interface programs for different hosts. Contact Customer Support (page 10-1) for technical help.
Software Handshaking The SSI Options bar codes are directed toward the host programmer when writing host/scanner interface programs for different hosts. Contact Customer Support (page 10-1) for technical help. This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to that offered by hardware handshaking. Hardware handshaking is always enabled and cannot be disabled by the user. Scan one of the following bar codes to set software handshaking.
Stop Bit Select The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving computer is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements. Set this parameter by scanning one of the following bar codes.
Transmit “No Read / Decode” Message Use this parameter to decide whether a message is sent to the host when a bar code symbol does not decode. When enabled, and a symbol does not decode within either: • A scan button press activates the laser and decode processing, the processing continues until a scan button release, or • The laser decode processing continues until the Laser On Timeout is reached. • A “NR” (No Read) is transmitted to the host.
Trigger Mode Note: The Bluetooth Ring Scanner Module with a ring scanner is designed to be operated in Host Trigger Mode. For best results leave the Trigger Mode default value unchanged for these devices. Use this parameter to determine when the laser is activated and decoding begins, how long the laser remains on and what determines the cessation of the laser scan and decode process. Trigger Mode Function Level A trigger pull or Scan button press activates the laser and decode processing.
Blinking * Host Cancel Scanner Parameters – Bar Code Type Specific Chinese 2 of 5 When enabled, Chinese 2 of 5 symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below.
Codabar When enabled, Codabar symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. Enable Codabar * Disable Codabar CLSI Editing When enabled, the start and stop characters are stripped from the bar code and a space is inserted after the 1st, 5th, and 10th characters of a 14 character Codabar symbol. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. Note: Symbol length does not include start and stop characters.
NOTIS Editing When enabled, the start and stop characters are stripped from a decoded Codabar symbol. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. Enable NOTIS Editing * Disable NOTIS Editing Set Lengths for Codabar L1 Default: 5 L2 Default: 55 Lengths for Codabar may be set for: • any length, • one or two discrete lengths, • or lengths within a specific range. The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains.
Two Discrete Lengths (Parameter L2) This option decodes only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example, when you want to scan only Codabar symbols containing 2 or 14 characters, scan the “Codabar Two Discrete Lengths” bar code and then “0”, “2”, “1” and “4” bar codes using the Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72) at the end of this chapter. To begin setting two discrete lengths, scan this bar code: Next, scan four numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value.
Code 11 When enabled, Code 11 symbols will be scanned, decoded and transmitted. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. Enable Code 11 * Disable Code 11 Set Lengths for Code 11 L1 Default: 4 L2 Default: 55 Lengths for Code 11 may be set for: • any length, • one or two discrete lengths, • or lengths within a specific range. The length of a code refers to the number of characters, including check digits, the code contains. It also includes any start or stop characters.
Next, scan four numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired value. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. If you wish to change your number selection, scan Cancel on the Keypad Number Symbols page. Length Within Range This option decodes a code type within a specified minimum and maximum range. For example, when you want to scan only Code 11 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, scan the “Code 11 Length Within Range” bar code and then “0”, “4”, “1” and “2” bar codes.
Code 11 Check Digit Verification When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of a Code 11 symbol to ensure it complies with the specified check digit algorithm. Note: Enable “Code 11 Check Digit Verification” when “Transmit Code 11 Check Digits” is enabled. Set this parameter by scanning one of the bar codes shown below. * Disable this feature One Check Digit Two Check Digits Transmit Code 11 Check Digits Note: Code 11 Check Digit Verification must be enabled for this parameter to function.
Code 128 Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. * Enable Code 128 Disable Code 128 GS1-128 (formerly UCC/EAN-128) Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. * Enable GS1-128 Disable GS1-128 GS1-128 is a convention for printing data fields with standard Code 128 bar code symbols. GS1-128 symbols are distinguished by a leading FNC 1 character as the first or second character in the symbol. Other FNC 1 characters are used to delineate fields.
The following table indicates the behavior of the SE955 in each of the four possible parameter settings. Standard Code 128 UCC/EAN 128 Effect and Example Disable Disable No Code 128 symbols can be read. Disable Enable Read only symbols with leading FNC1. Examples: FNC1 ABCDFNC1E are read as ABCD29E AFNC1BCDFNC1E are read as ABCD29E FNC1FNC1 ABCDFNC1E are read as ABCD29E ABCDFNC1E cannot be read ABCDE cannot be read Enable Disable Read only symbols without leading FNC1.
Code 39 Note: This parameter must be enabled when “Convert Code 39 to Code 32” is to be enabled. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. * Enable Code 39 Disable Code 39 Code 39 Check Digit Verification When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of a Code 39 symbol to ensure it complies with specified algorithms. Only those Code 39 symbols which include a modulo 43 check digit are decoded when this parameter is enabled.
Code 32 Prefix This parameter adds the prefix character “A” to all Code 32 bar codes. Note: When enabled, “Convert Code 39 to Code 32” parameter must also be enabled. Set this parameter by scanning either of the bar codes shown below. Enable Code 32 Prefix * Disable Code 32 Prefix Convert Code 39 to Code 32 Note: Code 39 must be enabled in order for this parameter to function.
Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion Note: Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 should not be enabled simultaneously.

Internal LED illumination turns the LEDs on during scan mode.
Operational Mode Default: Decode Mode In Decode Mode (the default mode), and upon a Scan button event, the imager attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The decoder remains in this mode as long as the Scan button is pressed or until a bar code is decoded. Use Snapshot mode to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. While in this mode the decoder blinks the green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.
Power Mode Note: Mobile devices are designed to be operated in Low Power Mode. For best results this value should remain unchanged. Note: Default: PL4407: Low Power MS4407: Continuous On A parameter setting of Continuous On means the laser will not power down until the mobile device is powered off. A parameter setting of Low Power means the laser will enter low power consumption mode after each decode attempt. Pressing the Scan button will begin another decode sequence.
Time Delay to Low Power Mode This parameter sets the time the decoder remains active after decoding. The decoder wakes upon a Scan button press or when the host attempts to communicate with the decoder. This parameter only applies when Power Mode is set to Low Power.
Time-out between Decodes, Same Symbol Parameter Default Value: 0.6 Seconds This option is used in presentation mode to prevent multiple reads of a symbol left in the ring decoder’s field of view. The timeout begins when the bar code is removed from the field of view. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds.
Trigger Modes Note: Mobile devices with ring decoders are designed to be operated in Level Trigger Mode for best results the Trigger Mode default value should remain unchanged. Default: PL4407: Level Trigger Mode MS4407: Presentation Mode Use this parameter to determine when the laser is activated and decoding begins, how long the laser remains on and what determines the cessation of the laser scan and decode process. Select a trigger mode by scanning one of the bar codes that follow.

8 Battery Chargers Unpacking your Battery Charger After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps: • Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton. • Make sure the items in the carton match your order. • Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
Cautions and Warnings Warning: The Bluetooth Ring Scanner Battery Charger is to be used to charge an I.T.E. Recognized Battery pack manufactured by Helix Co., Ltd. (Model: HNP-40, LXE, P/N 161987-0001, rating 3.7V, 750mAh). Charging any other type of battery pack in the Bluetooth Ring Scanner battery charger is prohibited. Warning: Use the provided AC power supply, only, with the Bluetooth Ring Scanner Battery Charger. Using any other type of AC power supply is prohibited.
Charging Batteries New batteries should be charged fully before first use. The life and capacity of a Lithium Ion battery pack can vary significantly depending on the discharge current and the environment in which it is used. When a battery is placed in a charging pocket, the battery charger begins charging the battery. There is a slight delay while the charger evaluates the condition of the battery (ambient temperature, remaining charge, etc.) before charging begins.
Charging Pocket Battery charger 1. Battery Pocket 2. Battery Charging Contacts There are very small battery retaining mechanisms in the battery pockets. Footprint and Mounting Hole Location Installation Assemble the Power Supply Assemble the AC adapter for the Bluetooth Ring Scanner Module (BTRS) battery charger before connecting it to the battery charger. The AC power supply for the battery charger is shipped with the battery charger. For non-US models a power cord is required. 1.
1. Insert the power connector into the power outlet at the back of the battery charger. 2. AC power is now being applied to the battery charger and it begins to power up. 3. Charge pocket LEDs flash while the battery charger enters and exits the startup check. 4. When the charge pocket LEDs are not illuminated, the battery charger is ready for use. Inserting a Battery into the Charging Pocket Caution! It is important that battery packs are inserted into the charging pocket correctly.
Charge Timer The battery pocket timers are dynamic and based upon the capacity of the battery pack. There is a timeout period for the soft start and another timeout period for the overall time required to charge the battery to full capacity. The pocket’s LED flashes red when the charging pocket timeout period has expired. Single Bay Charger 1. Battery Charging Pocket 2. Power LED Indicator 3. Power Connector location 4. Single-bay Charger Power plug (US models only), adapter cable optional.
Removing the Battery from the Charging Pocket If necessary, stabilize the charger with one hand before removing a battery from a charging pocket. Grasp the battery firmly and pull it straight up and out of the charging pocket. Interpreting the Charging LED The status of the charge operation is indicated by the color of the LED. RED - The battery pack is charging. GREEN - The battery pack is charged. Charge Timer The Single-bay charger does not contain a timer.
Battery Charger Help The following is intended as an aid in determining whether the battery pack or the charger may be malfunctioning: Issue Cause Solution Battery pack does not fit in charging pocket. Different manufacturer's battery pack, or there is an object in the charging pocket. Check if the Bluetooth Ring Scanner battery pack has Honeywell part number 8650376BATTERY/161987-0001 on the label. If not, do not use. Remove the object from the charging pocket.
Issue Cause Solution Solid YELLOW / AMBER LED when battery pack is inserted in the charging pocket. The battery pack is too hot or too cold to charge. Remove battery pack from the charging pocket and allow it to adjust to room temperature. If the battery pack is left in the charging pocket, 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.
Do not leave the battery pack in a non-operating charger. The battery pack may discharge through the charger rather than hold its charge. Battery packs may leak up to 1 mA current through the battery contacts when left in an unpowered charger pocket. Service There are no user serviceable parts in the Lithium Ion Battery Pack.
