Maintaining the Scanner
Charge the battery at the end of each use and unplug it right when it reaches
full charge; overcharging will shorten the battery's lifespan.
Water or grime on the window of the scanner will distort the scan beam and
impair performance. Moving from one temperature extreme to another causes
condensation to form on the optical surfaces that affects scanner performance.
• Clean the window with a cotton cloth moistened with an ammonia or water
solution. Dry with a soft cotton cloth or allow to air dry.
• Do not use a dry tissue to wipe the window. This causes small scratches on the
window that will gradually affect performance.
• Do not immerse the scanner in water.
• Operate and store the scanner and battery pack in an environment with 5% to
85% relative humidity.
• Operate the battery pack in temperatures within -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F)
and store the battery pack in temperatures within -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F).
