Proper Care of the Scanner
Make sure to turn OFF the scanner before cleaning.
■
Scanner and battery terminal dirt
Periodically wipe any dirt from the terminals of the scanner and battery with a cotton swab or similar soft object.
Be sure not to scratch or deform the terminals while cleaning.
Never use organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol, as this may cause terminal plating to be peeled off.
■
Housing dirt
Wipe any dirt from the housing with a dry, soft cloth.
If excessively dirty, wipe with a soft cloth that has been soaked in soapy water (always use a neutral detergent) and
wrung out thoroughly.
Never use organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol, as this may cause the housing to be marred or paint to be peeled
off.
■
Code reading window dirt
Any dirt or dust adhering to the clear plate of the code reading window will adversely affect reading performance.
When using in dusty areas, check regularly whether any dust has accumulated on the clear plate of the code reading
window,
and if so, first blow the dust away with an airbrush, and then gently wipe the plate with a cotton swab or similar soft
object.
If sand or hard particles have accumulated, rubbing the plate will result in scratches. Blow the particles away with an
airbrush
or wipe with a soft brush.
