TROUBLESHOOTING
If the SF51 locks up during the upgrade procedure and does not respond when you
press the Scan button or place it in a charger, you may still be able to connect
to it from your PC and upgrade the firmware.
To troubleshoot a locked up SF51
1. Make sure that the SF51 is not seated in the 1-bay or 4-bay charger.
2. From your PC, use the Bluetooth application to search for Bluetooth devices.
3. Find your SF51 in the list and try to connect to it from the Bluetooth
application.
When the Bluetooth PIN Code Request box appears, enter the following case-
sensitive PIN in the Bluetooth PIN Code field, and click OK:
