Chapter 9 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the RFID reader, and provides troubleshooting solutions
for potential problems during RFID reader operating.
Maintaining the RFID reader
For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the RFID reader:
•
Although the RFID reader is water and dust resistant, it is good practice not to expose it to rain or moisture
for an extended period of time.
•
The battery must be changed in a clean dry area.
•
Protect the RFID reader from temperature extremes. Keep it away from heat sources.
•
Do not store or use the RFID reader in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.
•
Use a soft cloth to clean the RFID reader. If the surface of the RFID reader becomes soiled, clean it with a
soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
Battery Safety Guidelines
•
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Particular care should be taken where the device is charged in a non-commercial environment.
•
Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. For any questions about the compatibility of a battery or a
charger, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility support. See
Service Information on page i-xvi for contact
information.
•
Do not crush, puncture, or place a high degree of pressure on the battery.
•
Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to
overheat.
