Force a Software Reset
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,
Configure the
SF61B Cordless Scanner ).
To force a software reset (Reset factory defaults) of your SF61B
1 Turn the scanner on by pressing the trigger one time, then release.
2 Press and hold the scan button for 30 seconds until the red LED
comes on.
The scanner will beep after 20 seconds (hardware reset) however,
keep the trigger pressed until the red LED comes on (10 more
seconds after the hardware reset).
3 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: You may not be able to tell if the scanner is on, for example if
the LEDs have been disabled and do not light up when you pull the
trigger.
Note: Depending on your host configuration (device, Bluetooth
version), after a software reset of your scanner (Reset factory defaults)
you may have to re-pair your product with your host device /
application (see the appropriate section in Chapter 2,
Connect the
SF61B ).
