E-mail: jmyou@idif.co.kr korlim@gw.idif.co.kr Who Should Read This Manual This SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide is for the person who is responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining the SR61B Cordless Scanner. This SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide provides you with information about the features of the SR61B Cordless Scanner, and how to install, configure, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot them.
Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner Use this chapter to familiarize yourself with the SR61B Cordless Scanner. This chapter covers these topics: • What is the SR61B Cordless Scanner • Charging the Battery • Turning On the SR61B • Understanding the SR61B Behavior •...
IC:ICES-003 CLASS B XXXXXXX SR61BHP-XXX SR61B Scan Engine Option: The scan engine option of your SR61B is the first part of the configuration number. In this illustration, the model is SR61BHP- XXX for 2D area imager. SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide...
Codes” on page Charging the Battery The SR61B uses a lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You need to fully charge the battery before you can use the SR61B. The battery pack used in this device may ignite, create a chemical burn hazard, explode, or release toxic materials if mistreated.
To turn on the SR61B • Pull and release the trigger. The SR61B beeps 2 times and vibrates at power-up by default. It enters a discoverable state and remains discoverable for about 5 minutes (before automatically shutting off, can be configured). While...
Chapter 1 — Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner Understanding the SR61B Behavior The SR61B uses lights, beeps and vibrations to indicate if a bar code has been successfully decoded. The lights and beeps described in this section are new and do not correspond to the legacy SR61B models (SR61BV, SR61BA, SR61BL or SR61BE).
The status light flashes green or red to indicate the status of the scanner and/or battery. Status information is sometimes shown even if the Intermec Ready-to-Work Indicator is on. This way the scanner can communicate more than one type of information at the same time.
Two fast beeps The SR61B successfully scanned a configuration bar code Two beeps, bitonal The SR61B is docked correctly in the SR61B Charge Base. Six very fast beeps Transmission error Configuration bar code was not accepted Series of beeps The SR61B is connecting to a Bluetooth host.
Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision. The SR61B contains either a 1D linear imager (SR61B1D), 2D area imager (SR61BHP, SR61BDPM), laser scan engine (SR61BL), or near- far range area imager (SR61BXR) to scan bar code data. The type of scan engine you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code.

5 Follow the onscreen instructions until your host searches for Bluetooth devices. The SR61B scanner appears in the Bluetooth device list as a keyboard in the following format: SR61B - BDA, where BDA is the scanner’s Bluetooth Device Address. You can find the BDA on the scanner’s label.
Chapter 2 — Connecting the SR61B SPP Bluetooth Device Connection The SPP profile allows your SR61B to use the Bluetooth link as a serial port to communicate with your host device. If you are using an application working with serial ports, you do not need to modify it to collect data with the SR61B.
5 Follow the onscreen instructions until your host searches for Bluetooth devices. The SR61B scanner appears in the Bluetooth device list in the following format: SR61B - BDA, where BDA is the scanner’s Bluetooth Device Address. You can find the BDA on the scanner’s label.
