Cleaning during operation
To ensure optimum reading performance, the reading window of the CLV must be clean at
all times.
For this reason, we recommend that you check the reading window at regular intervals,
particularly if the device is operated under extreme conditions (dust, abrasion, humidity,
finger prints).
Laser radiation can seriously damage your eyesight
The CLV uses a class 2 red-light laser. Looking directly at the laser beam can seriously
damage the retina in your eyes.
As with sunlight, never look directly into the laser beam.
Switch off the device while it is being cleaned.
Never look directly into the reading window while the device is in operation.
Damage to the reading window
The reading window is made of glass. Scratches and streaks on the window will reduce the
reading performance.
Use a mild, non-scouring detergent.
Never use scratching or scouring motions to clean the reading window.
Cleaning reading window
