8670 8-Bay Battery Charger
Quick Start Guide

1
Unpack 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.
Introduction
The 8670 8-Bay Battery Charger simultaneously charges eight
rechargeable lithium ion batteries. The time required for
charging is dependent upon the battery internal temperature
and condition. The battery charger should be located in an area
that is well ventilated and not in high traffic areas. It should
have enough clearance to allow easy access to the power port
on the back of the device, and be protected from rain, dust,
direct sunlight or inclement weather. The charger is not
approved for use in hazardous locations.
This device is intended for indoor use only and requires an
indoor AC power source. The AC cord should not be stepped on,
tripped over or subjected to damage or stress.

2
Mount the 8670 8-Bay Battery Charger
Place the charger on a horizontal, hard surface or fasten
securely to a wall using the mounting holes. Mounting hardware
is not supplied by Honeywell.

3
Assemble the Power Supply
The AC power supply for the battery charger is shipped with the
battery charger. For non-US models a power cord is required.
1. Plug the A/C power cord into the power adapter.
2. Plug the power cable into the power connector on the back
of the 8670 8-Bay Battery Charger.
3. Plug the A/C power cord into a grounded power source. The
charger is now powered.
The charge pocket LEDs flash while the battery charger enters
and exits the startup check. The battery charger is ready for use
once the charge pocket LEDs are no longer illuminated.

4
Charge the Batteries
Hold the battery with its three charging contacts in line with the
three charging contacts in the charging pocket. Use the direc-
tion of the arrow on the battery label as a guide and align the
yellow dot on the battery with the yellow dot on the charger.
Firmly press the battery straight down into the battery charging
pocket.
It is important that batteries are inserted into the charging
pocket correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly could result in
damage to the battery or the charger. Do not “slam” or slide the
battery into the pocket. This could damage the charger.

5
When a battery is placed in a charging pocket, the battery char-
ger begins charging the battery. There is a slight delay while the
charger evaluates the condition of the battery before charging
begins. While charging, the charger and battery will generate
enough heat to feel warm. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem. The red LED on the 8-Bay Charger indicates the bat-
tery is charging. A green LED indicates the battery has been
fully charged and can be removed.
Interpret the Charge Pocket LEDs
The battery pocket timers are dynamic and based upon the
capacity of the battery. 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.
LED Indication
Red continuous Battery is charging.
Red flashing Battery charger fault or
failure.
Charging pocket timeout
period has expired.
Green continuous Battery charge is complete.

6
Yellow/Amber continuous Battery pocket is in standby
mode while warming up or
cooling down.
Battery is inserted incorrectly.
Make sure charging
terminals on battery and
charger are aligned.
No light on a charge pocket No battery in pocket.
Battery is not fully inserted.
Battery or charger is defective
or damaged.
No light on all charge pockets No power to charger.
No batteries in any pocket.

Use only Honeywell
lithium ion batteries,

pocket.
Unplug charger from AC
supply. Remove any dirt
or foreign objects from
the charging pocket.

pocket.
Unplug charger from AC
supply. Remove any dirt
or foreign objects from
the charging pocket. If
the LEDs continue to
remain ON, the charger
may be defective.

Red LED comes
on when a fully
charged battery

During the first
few minutes,
the battery
charger checks
the battery for
correct voltage
and charge
state. During
this time the
LED is red.
There is nothing wrong
with the battery or
charger. Do not “top off”
a fully charged battery
by repeatedly placing it
in the charging pocket.
The battery may
overheat and become
damaged.

Yellow/Amber
LED when
battery is
inserted in the
charging
pocket
The battery is
too hot or too
cold to charge.
Remove the battery from
the charging pocket and
allow it to adjust to room
temperature. If the
battery 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. The
cool-down / warm-up of
a battery is much
quicker if the battery is
not in the charging
pocket.
Battery is
inserted
backwards.
Remove the battery, line
up the charging
terminals on the battery
with the charging
terminals in the
charging pocket and
insert the battery again.

Cleaning and Storage
Clean a Battery
The battery should not require cleaning unless it has become
heavily soiled. Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp
cloth to clean the outside of the battery. Do not use solvents or
flammable cleaners. Allow the case to dry fully before using
again.
Clean the Battery Charger
Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp cloth to clean the
outside of the charger. Do not use solvents or flammable clean-
ers. Allow the case to dry fully before using again.
Do not allow cleaning agents of any kind to contact the battery
charging contacts or they may be damaged. If necessary, clean
them with a soft-bristle, dry brush or compressed air.
Unplug the charger from the power source before cleaning or
removing debris from the charging pockets. Disconnect the
charger from AC power by pulling the plug, not the cord.
Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the battery pocket. Do not
short circuit any of the contacts in the battery pocket. This could
result in injury or property damage.
Storage
Remove all batteries from the charging pockets and disconnect
AC power before placing the 8670 8-Bay Battery Charger in
storage. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from
weather and airborne debris.

12
Cautions and Warnings
Do not disassemble or perform modifications to the charger.
There are no user serviceable components in the charger.
Battery Recommendations
The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full
charge, and can also be charged without fully discharging, with-
out impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any
charge/discharge conditioning on this type of battery.
Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage
the scanner.
Do not leave the battery in a non-operating charger. The battery
may discharge through the charger rather than hold its charge.
Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will even-
tually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold
an adequate charge.
If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly,
send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service
center for inspection.
Use only Honeywell lithium ion batteries, model
number HNP-40, rated 3.7 Vdc, 2.77Whr in this
device. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result
in damage not covered by the warranty.
Use the provided AC power supply only. Using any
other type of AC power supply is prohibited.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries
• Batteries should be stored, charging contact side up, in a cool
dry place, protected from weather and airborne debris,
whenever possible.
• Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries.
• Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature
locations.
• Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects.
• Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get
wet.
• Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of
the batteries, to each other with any metal object.
• Do not pierce, strike or step on batteries or subject batteries to
strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not disassemble or modify batteries.
• Do not leave the battery in a non-operating charger. The
battery may discharge through the charger rather than hold
its charge.
