Maintaining the SR61
To keep your SR61 in good working order, you may need to
upgrade the SR61 firmware and clean the scanner window.
Upgrading the SR61
When you upgrade your SR61 firmware, you update the SR61
processor firmware as well. 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 firmware, you need these items:
• Interlink firmware upgrade application
• SR61 firmware upgrade package:
• Firmware upgrade file (.ldr)
• Upgrade instructions (readme.txt)
• Full firmware version text file (.txt)
• PC running Microsoft® Windows® XP with SP2 or Microsoft
Windows 2000
• USB Bluetooth adapter (P/N 203-771-xxx)
Before upgrading the SR61, you need to:
• fully charge the SR61 battery. For help, see “Charging the
Battery” on page 3.
• download the latest SR61 firmware upgrade package and
Interlink firmware upgrade application from the Intermec
web site at www.intermec.com.
