SR61, and how to install, configure, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot it. Before you work with the SR61, you should be familiar with your network and general networking terms, such as IP address. You should also be familiar with Bluetooth communications.
Learning About the SR61 Use this chapter to familiarize yourself with the SR61 Cordless Scanner. This chapter covers these topics: • Introducing the SR61 Cordless Scanner • Using the Battery • How to Turn On the SR61 • Understanding the Lights •...
SN: XXXXXXXXXXX CN: SR61AV0100 SR61AV0100 SR61 Scan Engine Option: The scan engine option of your SR61 is the sixth character of the configuration number. In this illustration, the scan engine option is V or 1D linear imager. For more information about the scanner options, see “Scanning...
You can check your battery status at any time. To check the battery status • Pull the trigger. If the status light on the SR61 turns red, the battery is low (less than 20% battery capacity remaining). You need to charge the battery now.
To turn on the SR61 • Pull the trigger. The first time you pull the trigger to turn on the SR61, it enters a discoverable state. While the SR61 is discoverable and in communications range, your host Bluetooth device can discover your SR61 and establish a Bluetooth connection.
You scanned a configuration bar code and the SR61 did not accept it. Note: When the SR61 is in the 1-bay charger, the status light indicates the battery charging status. For more information, see the instructions that ship with the charger.

You just scanned the Administrator Reset several seconds Factory Defaults bar code and the non-volatile memory is being written. Do not remove the battery or place the SR61 in a 1-bay charger until the tone stops. The firmware memory may be corrupted. Continuous beeping The host PC is paging the SR61.
Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision. The SR61 contains a 1D linear imager, 2D area imager, or laser scan engine 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.
Page 20
To scan a bar code label with a laser scanner or 1D linear imager 1 Point the SR61 at the bar code label and hold the SR61 at a slight angle 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) from the label.
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away. When the SR61 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a single high beep and the status light briefly turns green. If Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61 briefly vibrates.

Restoring Default Settings You can restore the SR61 to its default settings by scanning the Administrator Reset Factory Defaults command.
The SR61 can communicate with a host device through the Serial Port Profile (SPP) Bluetooth communications profile. SPP allows your SR61 to use the Bluetooth link as a serial port to communicate with your host device. You can send information from the SR61 to your serial application without having to modify your application.
Note: For security reasons, you can only change the Bluetooth PIN by scanning a bar code. Configuring the Discoverable State of the SR61 By default, the SR61 is always discoverable. For enhanced security, you should configure your SR61 for limited discoverability, which allows the SR61 to be discoverable by Bluetooth management applications for only 30 seconds.
