Maintaining the Series 3800
Cleaning
Series 3800 terminals require a minimum amount of maintenance, and proper use and care
of the terminal will enable it to function accurately for a long time.
To clean a terminal, use a clean soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use abrasive paper,
cloth, or abrasive/corrosive cleaners. Wipe the entire terminal, except for the scanner
window, with the damp cloth, including the charging contacts.
Wipe the scanner window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for
cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses.
Caution
Never pour, spray, or spill any liquid on any part of the terminal, particularly
the scanner or scan element components.
Storage
If the terminal will not be used for a while, store it in a cool, dry place, away from dust. For
the best protection, repack the terminal in the original shipping container for storage.
Caution
If you remove the primary battery, the terminal maintains memory contents
for at least 15 minutes. To prevent loss of programs and data, transmit them
to a host computer before removing the primary batteries for longer than 15
minutes.
When you remove the Series 3800 terminal from storage without the battery pack, reset the
real time clock. Refer to the Series 3000 Application Programmer’s Reference Manual or
Series 3000 Application Programmer’s Guide for specific instructions.
