Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting and Maintaining the SF61B Recovering 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 bar code). Note: Depending on the status of the scanner, pressing and holding the scan button will initiate either the hardware reset or the software reset. If the scanner performs a hardware reset (no red LED) and you want to perform a software reset, continue to press and hold the scan button for a further 10 seconds to apply the software reset procedure (5 quick presses on the scan button while the red LED is on). Note: If your scanner does not turn on after a hardware and/or software reset and you are using a correctly charged and functioning Intermec battery pack Model 1016AB01 (P/N SF61-BAT-xxx,), please contact your Intermec representative. Forcing a Hardware Reset The initial reflex when a product gets into a blocked or "dead" state is to perform a hardware reset by restarting it - you can try switching it off and on, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, or removing and reconnecting the battery. This is fine for some products, but the SF61B does not have an on-off switch, it doesn't have a cable you can disconnect/reconnect, and its internal battery is not easily accessible, so how can you restart it? To force a hardware reset (restart) of your SF61B 1 Press and hold the scan button for more than 20 seconds until the scanner beeps twice and vibrates (no red LED). 2 Release the scan button.
