What's the difference between the Standard and Advanced versions of the 8680i?

The Standard version offers lightweight, ergonomic Bluetooth-wearable scanning with clear communication of wireless connection, battery status, and scan results when paired with another device like a mobile computer. The Advanced model adds Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac connectivity, a customizable sunlight-readable display, dual-button interface, and SDK support. This enables the Advanced model to operate as a standalone device with network applications displaying work instructions directly in the worker's line of sight, replacing the need for both a scanner and separate mobile computer.

How much faster is the 8680i compared to traditional scanning methods?

The 8680i improves worker transaction times by up to 5 seconds per scan in scan-intensive workflows. This significant time savings adds up quickly in high-frequency scanning operations like picking, sorting, putaway, and packing, directly improving overall warehouse productivity and throughput.

What battery life can I expect, and are there different battery options?

The 8680i offers two battery options to match your operational needs. The slim battery (BAT-SCN03, 1200 mAh) provides 3,000 scans over an 8-hour shift and weighs 151g total. The extended battery (BAT-SCN02, 2160 mAh) delivers 8,000 scans over a 10-hour shift and weighs 168g total. Both options support uninterrupted full-shift operation, and Honeywell Operational Intelligence analytics help manage battery population lifecycle to prevent downtime.

How durable is the 8680i in warehouse environments?

The 8680i is engineered for rugged warehouse and distribution center environments. It withstands 2,000 tumbles from 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) and 30 drops from 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) to concrete. It carries an IP54 rating for protection against dust ingress and water splashes, operates in temperatures from -20°C to 50°C, and is suitable for outdoor use. The device also meets ESD protection standards with up to 15kV air discharge and 8kV contact discharge.

What mounting options are available, and can I switch between them?

The 8680i is available with two mounting configurations: a two-finger ring strap or a back-of-hand glove mount. Both options are field-reconfigurable, meaning you can switch between mounting styles without returning the device to the manufacturer. This flexibility allows you to adapt to different worker preferences, task requirements, or shift patterns. The device is also 17% lighter than competing wearable solutions, enhancing comfort with either mounting option.

What charging options are available for the 8680i?

Honeywell offers multiple charging solutions for the 8680i: 4-bay chargers (MB4-SCN02) and 12-bay chargers (MB12-SCN02) for charging complete devices, as well as 4-bay battery chargers (MB4-BAT-SCN02) and 12-bay battery chargers (MB12-BAT-SCN02) for charging batteries separately. Batteries require a minimum of 4 hours charging time before first use. Note that chargers and power supplies are sold separately and must be selected based on your region.

Can the 8680i read barcodes in bright sunlight or outdoor environments?

Yes, the 8680i is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It operates in maximum ambient light levels up to 100,000 lux and features a sunlight-readable display on the Advanced model. Combined with its IP54 sealing and operating temperature range of -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F), the 8680i is fully suitable for outdoor warehouse operations, loading docks, and other bright or variable lighting conditions.

How do I configure device settings and customize the 8680i?

Basic device settings can be configured using barcodes published in the User Guide. For more complex configurations, Honeywell provides the EZConfig tool. If using EZConfig, you'll need to reference the User Guide to configure the device for connection—the default mode is HID and must be changed to SPP mode to establish connection. The default PIN is 1234. The Advanced model also supports SDK application development and TotalFreedom plugin development for custom workflows and interfaces.

How do I restart the 8680i device?

To restart the 8680i, hold the button to the left of the display for 6 seconds and the device will restart. You can also press both the right and left buttons simultaneously at any time to view the battery's charge status.

Does the glove mount need to be removed before charging?

Yes, the glove should be removed from the 8680i wearable mini mobile by detaching the snaps before charging. Leaving the glove attached can interfere with a secure fit in the charger and may prevent proper charging contact. The snap attachment design makes removal and reattachment quick and easy.
