well.
Battery pack is not making contact with
charging terminals in the battery well.
Faulty battery pack.
New battery pack, same result.

ger checks the battery pack for correct
voltage and charge state. During this
time the LED is RED and is continu-
ously ON. After charging is complete,
the LED is GREEN.
Current could not be sourced through
the battery pack due to age, exhaus-
tion or damage to the cell(s).
Or
The battery pack does not communi-
cate with the charger.
The charger's timeout period has ex-
pired.
The battery pack is too hot or too cold
to charge.
MX8 not fully seated in cradle
Foreign objects inside docking bay or
cable connectors

Solution
Check if the battery pack is Honeywell part number
161376-0001. If not, do not use.
Remove the object from the battery well.
Unplug cradle from outlet. Remove any dirt or foreign
objects from battery well.
If the LED continues to stay ON, the cradle may be de-
fective. Return charger to an authorized Honeywell
service center.
Push battery pack in firmly. Do not "slam" the battery
pack into the battery well.
Replace battery pack.
Contact Honeywell for replacement options.
There is nothing wrong with the battery pack or
charging pocket.
Contact Honeywell for battery pack replacement op-
tions.
Make sure that the battery pack temperature is within
specification and retry charging. If problem repeats,
contact Honeywell for battery pack replacement op-
tions.
Remove battery pack from the cradle and allow it to
adjust to room temperature.
If the battery pack is left in the cradle, it will cool down
or warm to a temperature upon which the cradle will
begin the charge cycle. However, depending on the
temperature of the MX8 battery, it may take 2-3 hours
to adjust. The battery pack can cool down faster if the
battery is not in the battery well.
Reseat the MX8 fully into the docking bay.
Remove the foreign objects and reseat the MX8 into
the docking bay.
Check the docking bay is clear of foreign objects and
reseat the MX8 fully into the docking bay.
Check that power is applied to the Power Jack at the
rear of the MX8 Desktop Cradle.
