• 1D linear imager—SR61B1D-xxx

• Laser scanner—SR61BL-xxx

• Extra range area imager—SR61BXR-xxx

• High performance 2D area imager—SR61BHP-xxx

• High Density / DPM—SR61BDPM-xxx

SR61B Scan Engine Option: The scan engine option of your SR61B is the first

part of the configuration number. In this illustration, the model is SR61BHP-

XXX for 2D area imager.

SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide 3

For more information about the scanner options, see “Scanning Bar

Codes” on page 8.

Charging the Battery

The SR61B uses a lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You

need to fully charge the battery before you can use the SR61B.

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you start using the

SR61B.

To charge the battery

• Place the SR61B with the battery installed in the desktop/wall

mount 1-bay charger (AC5).

Or,

• Remove the battery from the SR61B, and insert the battery into

the 2-bay, 4-bay, or 8-bay (AC6, AC7, or AC8) charger.

For more information, see “Required Accessories” on page 12.

Checking the Battery Status

The SR61B status light automatically displays a low battery signal

(blinking red) when less than 20% of the battery capacity remains. If

so, you need to charge the battery.

Status light signals are different when the scanner is docked in a

charger. For more information, see “Status Light” on page 6.

The battery pack used in this device may ignite, create a chemical

burn hazard, explode, or release toxic materials if mistreated. Do

not incinerate, disassemble, or heat above 100°C (212°F). Charge

only with Intermec Models AC5, AC6, AC7, and AC8 (see “SR61 2-

Bay, 4-Bay, or 8-Bay Charger” on page 13). Do not short circuit;

may cause burns. Keep away from children.

Use only Intermec battery pack Model AB3 (P/N 075082-xxx). Use

of incorrect battery pack may present risk of fire or explosion.

Promptly dispose of used battery pack according to the

instructions.

Turning On the SR61B

The following procedure decribes how to turn on the SR61B.

To turn on the SR61B

• Pull and release the trigger.

The SR61B beeps 2 times and vibrates at power-up by default.

It enters a discoverable state and remains discoverable for about 5

minutes (before automatically shutting off, can be configured). While

the SR61B is discoverable and in communications range, your host

Bluetooth device can discover your SR61B and establish a Bluetooth

connection.

If your SR61B is already connected to a Bluetooth device (blue

Intermec Ready-to-Work indicator on), it is not discoverable.

Chapter 1 — Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner

SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide 5

Understanding the SR61B Behavior

The SR61B uses lights, beeps and vibrations to indicate if a bar code

has been successfully decoded. The lights and beeps described in this

section are new and do not correspond to the legacy SR61B models

(SR61BV, SR61BA, SR61BL or SR61BE).

Intermec-Ready-to-Work Indicator

The Intermec-Ready-to-Work indicator ™ (blue LED) gives

information about the Bluetooth connection. When a connection has

been established the light is always on (blue) unless the scanner is

docked in a charge base. In this case the blue light turns off even

though the Bluetooth connection is still active.

When using your scanner to scan bar codes (blue light on) your

scanner will also flash status information using green or red lights.

See the Status Light information in the next section.

Note: If you prefer to use the legacy beep and LED mode you can

activate the legacy mode using EasySet. For information on using

EasySet see “Configuring Your Scanner with EasySet” on page 31.

Status Light

The status light flashes green or red to indicate the status of the

scanner and/or battery. Status information is sometimes shown even

if the Intermec Ready-to-Work Indicator is on. This way the scanner

can communicate more than one type of information at the same

time.

For example while the blue LED is on to show that there is a

Bluetooth connection, the scanner will flash green when you have

successfully scanned a bar code.

Beeps and Vibrate Alert

The SR61B beeps to give you audio feedback and vibrates when

performing some functions. For example, you hear a beep each time

you scan a valid bar code.

Using Vibrate Alert

You can configure the SR61B to vibrate when it successfully decodes a

bar code. This feature can be useful in these situations:

• You are in a noisy environment, such as a busy warehouse, where it

can be difficult to hear the beep.

• You are working in a quiet environment, such as a library, where

you do not want to make a lot of noise.

Scanning Bar Codes

The SR61B contains either a 1D linear imager (SR61B1D), 2D area

imager (SR61BHP, SR61BDPM), laser scan engine (SR61BL), or near-

far range area imager (SR61BXR) to scan bar code data. The type of

scan engine you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding

determines the way you scan the bar code.

When you unpack the SR61B, these bar code symbologies are enabled:
