Screen Protector
Zebra recommends the continued use of a screen
protector to minimize wear and tear. Screen
protectors enhance the usability and durability of
touch screen displays. Benefits include:
• Protection from scratches and gouges
• Durable writing and touch surface with tactile feel
• Abrasion and chemical resistance
• Glare reduction
• Keeping the device’s screen looking like new
• Quick and easy installation.
Not using a screen protector can affect your warranty coverage. An initial
screen protector is already applied to your MC55E0. Contact your local account
manager or Zebra for more information and purchasing details. Part number:
