Prepare for Firmware Upgrade with EasySet and WinFlash
To upgrade the SF61B you will need:
• A Bluetooth connection with a Bluetooth enabled host (Internal Bluetooth
controller or External Bluetooth adapter).
• A host PC running Microsoft Windows XP with SP2, Microsoft Windows 2000
with SP4, or a more recent version of Microsoft Windows.
• The latest version of EasySet (includes the WinFlash firmware upgrade utility)
installed on the host PC (available at https://hsmftp.honeywell.com/
Navigate to Software > Barcode Scanner > Software > Tools and Utilities >
EasySet).
• The SF61B .bin firmware file for your SF61B model (1D or 2D) available at
https://hsmftp.honeywell.com/
Navigate to Software > Barcode Scanner > Wireless Barcode Scanner > SF61B
> Current > standard > 2D > Current.
Note: If your SF61B LED blinks red before you start the upgrade procedure, you will need to
charge it before you perform the firmware upgrade (see Battery and Charge
Information on page 2).

host with another type of Bluetooth connection, you will have to disconnect/
deactivate that connection before you perform the firmware upgrade procedure.
