Chapter 1 — Using the SF51

Charging the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the battery before you start using the SF51.

To charge the battery

Place the SF51 in the 1-bay charger (P/N 074645) or the 4-bay charger (P/N 074646). A fully discharged battery charges to 100% capacity in approximately 3 hours.

It may take longer than 3 hours to charge the battery if the temperature is near the minimum (0°C, 32°F) or maximum (45°C, 113°F) charging temperature.

Note: When you place the SF51 in the 1-bay or 4- bay charger, you reset the SF51 scanner control firmware. For more information, see “Resetting the SF51” on page 28.

Checking the Battery Status

Press the Scan button.

If the status light on the SF51 turns red, the battery is low (less than 20% battery capacity remaining). You need to charge the battery now.

Understanding the Lights

The lights on the SF51 turn on to indicate the status of the battery, a successful decode of a bar code, or the status of the Bluetooth connection.
