Reset Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your 8680i,
scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the
recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the
8680i to the custom default settings. If there are no custom
defaults, it resets the 8680i to the factory default settings (Blue-
tooth HID Keyboard Emulation). Any settings that have not been
specified through the custom defaults are defaulted to the fac-
tory default settings.
Note: Scanning the Defaults bar code also causes both the 8680i
and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You
must relink (pair) the 8680i to the host.
Replace the Battery
Note: The battery should be replaced in an environment free
from excessive dust or particulate to avoid an internal
buildup of dust in the unit.
Activate Custom Defaults

window shows a Battery Low warning. You can also press both
the right and left buttons at any time to view the battery’s charge
status. To replace the battery, squeeze the battery latch and lift
up on the battery.
Replace the battery by snapping it in to the scanner.
