SF61 Cordless Scanner User’s Guide 7
Status Light
Note: The following tables show the default behavior of the status light, you can use
EasySet to modify this behavior if you wish (Operating settings > Beeps / LEDs).
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 Honeywell 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 and transmitted
a barcode.

• battery failure
Solution: Replace the battery.
• Temperature problem: The integrated charge handler in the SF61B
refuses to charge the battery due to storage or use of the SF61B
and/or the battery charger outside the recommended battery
charging temperature range (see recommended “Charging”
temperature range in Temperature and Environmental
Specifications on page 53)
• Solution: Move the SF61B (and battery) and/or battery charger to a
location where they can regain the recommended charging
temperature and charge the battery (no need to replace the
battery).
