Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting and Maintaining the SF61B If you have a Bluetooth connection, the SF61B disconnects from the host device when it switches off. After a restart, your scanner may try to reestablish 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). Forcing a Software Reset Note: A software reset of your scanner will reset its parameter settings to their initial values so you will have to reconfigure any custom settings you have programmed in your scanner (see Chapter 3, Configuring the SF61B Cordless Scanner). The initial reflex when a scanner gets into an unwanted and complicated setup configuration is to perform a software reset by reading the Reset factory defaults configuration bar code. But what if the current setup has blocked the use of the scan button and you cannot read a Reset factory defaults configuration code? To force a software reset (Reset factory defaults) of your SF61B 1 Press and hold the scan button for 10 seconds until the red LED comes on (it will stay on for 2 seconds). If the red LED does not come on after 10 seconds, you must wait another 10 seconds until the scanner does a hardware reset. Continue to hold the scan button for a further 10 seconds until the red LED comes on (in this case, you have pressed and held the scan button for a total of 30 seconds). 2 Press the scan button very rapidly five times in succession while the red LED is on (you need to be quick as the red LED only stays on for 2 seconds). The green LED comes on, the scanner beeps a reset confirmation (six-beep melody) and powers off and powers on (two beeps and vibrate alert by default). If you had a Bluetooth connection before the software reset, the SF61B will disconnect from the host device. 66 SF61 Cordless Scanner User's Guide

SF61 Cordless Scanner User’s Guide
If you have a Bluetooth connection, the SF61B disconnects from
the host device when it switches off.
After a restart, your scanner may try to reestablish 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).
Forcing a Software Reset
The initial reflex when a scanner gets into an unwanted and
complicated setup configuration is to perform a software reset by
reading the
Reset factory defaults
configuration bar code.
But what if the current setup has blocked the use of the scan button
and you cannot read a
Reset factory defaults
configuration code?
To force a software reset (Reset factory defaults) of your SF61B
1
Press and hold the scan button for 10 seconds until the red LED
comes on (it will stay on for 2 seconds).
If the red LED does not come on after 10 seconds, you must wait
another 10 seconds until the scanner does a hardware reset.
Continue to hold the scan button for a further 10 seconds until
the red LED comes on (in this case, you have pressed and held the
scan button for a total of 30 seconds).
2
Press the scan button very rapidly five times in succession while
the red LED is on (you need to be quick as the red LED only stays
on for 2 seconds).
The green LED comes on, the scanner beeps a reset confirmation
(six-beep melody) and powers off and powers on (two beeps and
vibrate alert by default).
If you had a Bluetooth connection before the software reset, the
SF61B will disconnect from the host device.
Note:
A software reset of your scanner will reset its parameter settings
to their initial values so you will have to reconfigure any custom
settings you have programmed in your scanner (see Chapter 3,
Configuring the SF61B Cordless Scanner
).
