Specifications
Introduction
This chapter provides suggested digital scanner maintenance, troubleshooting, technical specifications, and signal
descriptions (pinouts).
Maintenance
Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window can affect scanning accuracy.
•
Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.
•
Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.
•
Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with ammonia/water.
•
Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly onto the window.
Battery Maintenance
When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in
overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry,
cool place between 41° and 77°F (5° and 25°C), the cooler the better, and removed from the equipment to prevent
the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. In order to charge a battery
to half capacity, take a fully discharged battery and charge it for 2 hours. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid
any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.
