RECOVER THE SF61B
If your SF61B appears "dead" or does not respond when you press the scan button,
you can try to:
•
restart the product (hardware reset)
•
reset the product's configuration settings to their initial values (software
reset)
A hardware reset does not lose the current configuration settings.
A software reset sets all the configuration settings of the scanner back to their default
values, including custom default settings (same effect as when you read the Reset
factory defaults configuration barcode).
Note: If your scanner does not turn on after a hardware and/or
software reset and you are using a correctly charged and functioning
Honeywell battery pack SF61-BAT-SXXX, please contact your Honeywell
representative.

connection, the SF61B
disconnects from the host
device when it switches off.
•
After a restart, your scanner
may try to re-establish the
Bluetooth connection with the
host depending on the type
of connection (it will do so
with an HID connection or a
scanner-initiated Incoming SPP
connection for example).
