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.
The Bluetooth Ring Scanner consists of a ring decoder tethered to a sturdy, compact, mobile Bluetooth module and battery.
The module's lightweight battery provides power to the ring decoder. The hand strap assembly is designed to be worn on the
back of either hand or on either wrist. The hook and loop fabric on the hand strap enables one-handed installation, adjustment
and removal of the hand strap.
Note: 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.
The assembled Bluetooth Ring Scanner provides wireless communication with Bluetooth enabled Honeywell computers.
When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner Module pairs with another Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth Ring Scanner Module can send
serial data to the paired Bluetooth device.
The Bluetooth tethered ring scanner and tethered ring imager connectors are not interchangeable with other Honeywell mobile
devices that also use tethered ring scanners or ring imagers (i.e., Dolphin 70e Black in wearable sled, HX2 or HX3).
For information about other scanners, such as tethered ring scanners, scanners connected to a COM port or other Bluetooth
scanners, refer to www.honeywellaidc.com or the scanner manufacturer's website.
