SR61B Cordless Scanner

The SR61B is available in the following models:

• 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 SR61BHP­XXX for 2D area imager.

2 SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide

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.

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 12). 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.

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you start using the
SR61B.

Chapter 1 — Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner

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.

SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide 3

Chapter 1 — Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner

Turning On the SR61B

The following procedure describes 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.

4 SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide

Chapter 1 — Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner

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).

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 35.

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.

Light State What it Means

Blinking, slow The scanner is trying to establish a Bluetooth

connection with a Bluetooth device.

Blinking, fast The scanner is awaiting user acknowledgement in a

pairing procedure.

On A Bluetooth connection to the base station or host

computer is established. The SR61B is ready to scan
bar codes and send data.

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.

SR61B Cordless Scanner User’s Guide 5

Chapter 1 — Introducing the SR61B Cordless Scanner

Note: By default the Intermec Ready-to-Work light is enabled however
you can disable the light if desired. You can also change the color. See
EasySet version 5. 6. 5. 4. for more information.

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.

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.

Note: The scanner does not beep when disconnecting

automatically after a long period of inactivity.

“Rescuing the SR61B” on page 53).

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

For the SR61BL, SR61BXR, SR61BHP, SR61BDPM do not look
directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam
or laser aiming beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term
exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

The SR61B contains either a 1D linear imager (SR61B1D), 2D area
imager (SR61BHP, SR61BDPM), laser scan engine (SR61BL), or near­far 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:

• Code 39

• Code 128 / GS1-128

• EAN/UPC

• PDF417 (SR61BL, SR61BHP, SR61BDPM and SR61BXR only)

• DataMatrix (SR61BHP, SR61BDPM and SR61BXR only)

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different
symbology, you need to enable the symbology on your SR61B. Use
EasySet version 5.6.5.3 or later to enable and disable symbologies for
your scanner. EasySet is available on the Intermec web site at

www.intermec.com.

Before you can scan bar codes and send data to your data collection
application, you need to establish a Bluetooth connection between
your SR61B and the host device. If your scanner is not connected it
will emit an error beep when scanning bar codes. For more
information about establishing a Bluetooth connection, see

“Connecting the SR61B” on page 17.

To scan a bar code label with an SR61BL or SR61B1D

1 Turn on your scanner by pressing the trigger.

2 Connect your scanner to a Bluetooth device.

3 Point the SR61B at the bar code label and hold the SR61B at a

slight angle 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) from the label.

4 Pull the trigger, and direct the red beam so that it falls across all

bars in the bar code label.

Use this test bar code:

Code 39 Test Bar Code

*123456*

Tip: Depending on your screen resolution, you may be able to scan
bar codes displayed on your computer screen except with SR61BL
(laser imager). Print out and scan bar codes with the SR61BL.

When the SR61B successfully reads a bar code label, the SR61B
beeps one time, the status light briefly turns green, and the
scanner beam turns off. If Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61B
briefly vibrates.

5 Release the trigger.

Scanning Bar Codes: The aiming and scanner beams that you see depend
on which SR61B model you are using.

To scan omni-directionally with the SR61BHP, SR61BDPM or SR61BXR

1 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the

SR61B steady a few inches from the label.

2 Pull the trigger.

• If you are scanning with one of the 2D imagers, use the laser

framing to position the imager over the bar code or area to
capture.

• If you are scanning with a near-far range area imager

(SR61BXR) at a near distance (< 30 cm / 11.8 in), position the
red aiming beam just to the right of the center of the bar code
label.
