Upgrading Firmware on the Honeywell 8670 Bluetooth Ring Scanner

To upgrade firmware on a Honeywell 8670 Wireless Ring Scanner, the scanner must be connected to either of the below:

• Honeywell Access Point (HAP) – AP-010BT-07N /  AP-100BT-07N
• Honeywell Charge and Communication Base (CCB) – CCB01

Once connected, fire up EZConfig – a free Honeywell barcode scanner configuration utility.  The Honeywell 8670 will not be listed as a connected device in EZConfig but the base/access point will. If it’s connected to the CCB/Access Point the firmware will find its way to the scanner.

• Make sure the configuration is set to Bluetooth Serial Profile (PAPSPP).
• Select “Update Firmware”
• Select “Choose File” then pick your firmware file that you saved previously on your hard drive.  You can get the latest firmware files from the Honeywell website.
• Select “Update Device”

Easy!
