Maintenance

10.1

Servicing during Operation

In order to maintain its full reading capability, the BCL needs a clean reading window.
We therefore recommend checking regularly whether the reading window is dirty, particularly in rough
operating environment (dust, abraded particles, humidity, finger prints).

Cleaning the reading window:

• Clean the reading window in regular intervals with a mild detergent without powder additives, e.g.

an antistatic window cleaning detergent. Figure 10.1 shows the areas to be cleaned.
Use a soft, lintfree cleaning cloth.

Figure 10.1:Cleaning the reading window

• Also clean the LED indicator at the back of the device as required.

Damage to the eyes through laser radiation

!

The BCL operates with a red light laser of Class 2. Staring at the laser beam may
cause damage to the retina.
• Never look at the laser beam directly (same as sunlight).
• Turn off device during cleaning
• Avoid looking at the reading window at all times during device operation

Damage to the reading window!
The reading window is made of glass. The reading capacity is reduced through scratches
and streaks on the reading window.
• Use mild detergents without powder additives
• Avoid scratching and scrubbing motions on the reading window
