firmware. The current settings are erased and replaced with the
default settings for the SR61. You need to reestablish Bluetooth
communications between your SR61 and other Bluetooth
devices and applications in your data collection system.
To upgrade the SR61, you need these items:
• SR61 firmware upgrade package:
• SR61Upgrade.exe (SR61 Firmware Upgrade Utility)
•SR61_xx_xx.ldr (firmware upgrade file, where xx_xx is the
firmware version)
• readme.txt (upgrade instructions)
• USB Bluetooth adapter (P/N 203-771-xxx) or RS-232
Bluetooth adapter (P/N 203-768-xxx)
• PC running Microsoft Windows 2000/XP with SP1 or SP2
Before upgrading the SR61, you should fully charge the SR61
battery. For help, see “Charging the Battery” on page 3.
