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 – see
Chapter 2, Connect the SF61B
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:
•
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, etc.). 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.
