Battery Charge Status During Operation; Understand Bluetooth Terms; Default Settings And Custom Settings - Honeywell SF61 Series User Manual

Battery Charge Status during Operation

During SF61B operation, the status light blinks red when the battery charge is less
than 20% to indicate that you should charge the battery.

Understand Bluetooth Terms

The following terms are used in this User Guide:
Pairing: To be able to connect and exchange data with a Bluetooth host device,
your Bluetooth product must be "paired" with that device. The way you authorize
the pairing to take place depends on the type of Bluetooth host device you are
pairing with - for more details see
If your Bluetooth product and your Bluetooth host device are paired but, for some
reason, the connection cannot be established (your product is out of range, one or
both devices have been switched off, etc), the pairing association is not lost and the
devices can communicate again when they are switched on and in range.
Discoverable: Your Bluetooth product is not yet paired with a Bluetooth host
device but it can be "seen" by that device (the Bluetooth host device may also be
able to "see" other Bluetooth products that are nearby).
When your Bluetooth product is trying to connect or is connected to a Bluetooth
host device, it is no longer discoverable.
HID and SPP: Honeywell Bluetooth scanners can use two specific Bluetooth
profiles to communicate with Bluetooth-enabled host devices:

Default Settings and Custom Settings

The product behavior described in this manual corresponds to the default settings
of your SF61B cordless scanner. Most of these settings can be customized using
EasySet, the Honeywell scanner setup software.
EasySet provides the full range of setup options for your SF61B for details on how
to install and use EasySet (see

HID: When you use the HID (Human Interface Device) profile, your scanner is
recognized as a keyboard by the host. Connection information is stored so that
if the scanner loses the connection (out of range, low battery, etc.), it will try to
reconnect as soon as this becomes possible again (back into range, charged
battery...). No specific software is needed to collect data using the HID profile
(this is not the case if you use the SPP profile).
SPP: The SPP profile (Serial Port Profile) allows your scanner to communicate
with the host device through the Bluetooth link as if it were a serial port. In this
way, your scanner is immediately compatible with data management
applications that collect data through a serial port.
