Honeywell International Inc. SF61B-A Manuale Utente

If you have problems using your SF61B, use this section to try to find 
a solution.

Problem

Possible Solution

You press the scan 
button, but nothing 
happens.

The SF61B is powered by a rechargeable lithium-
ion battery

. 

Make sure the battery is not fully 

discharged. Charge the battery then try scanning 
again (see 

 in Chapter 1).

The Status Light blinks 
red slowly.

The battery is low. Charge the battery (see 

 in Chapter 1).

You press the scan 
button, the red 
scanning beam (1D) or 
laser framing (2D) turns 
on, but you cannot 
successfully scan a bar 
code.

Try these possible solutions:

Make sure that the SF61B is configured for the 
symbology you are scanning. 

Make sure that the SF61B is at the appropriate 
scanning distance and angle from the bar code. 
Move the SF61B closer and farther away and 
tilt it up and down to find the appropriate 
distance and angle.

Make sure that the SF61B is able to read the 
type of bar code you are scanning (1D, 2D).

Make sure the bar code you are trying to scan is 
not poorly printed or not too small. Scan a 
known good bar code to make sure that the 
SF61B is working properly.

Clean the scan window if it is dirty.

For more information, see 

 in 

Chapter 1.

You scan a bar code, the 
SF61B vibrates and 
emits six very fast beeps. 

This indicates a transmission error, check that:

your product is correctly connected to your 
host device / application

your host device / application is able to receive 
the data from your scanner
